To clarify, Loot is now tiered (Stone/primitive tier, Iron tier, steel tier); You CAN still find things from higher tiers while in the tiers below it, but the chances are incredibly small. You wont find guns until closer to day 10+ now unless you're very lucky or get it from a trader.

This is a thread that has been out for quite a while, and is still very active. Notice the title.
