First off it’s worth noting that a majority of the game will be spent battling zombies using melee weapons. It’s not until halfway through the game that you start getting guns. So don’t start trying to find any before then.

In order to find guns you’re going to need to have completed the Justifiable Zombicide main story mission. During the mission, Sam will hand you a gun to help take out the hordes of zombies coming your way. It is a satisfying mission that also helps you get to grips with the gun mechanics on offer in the game. You can check out what sort of guns you’ll get in this trusty weapons list guide.

If you’re wondering how far you are from this mission you can check out our full mission list here, but it is just under halfway through the game. After completing Justifiable Zombicide guns will become much more commonplace in the world. Merchants will sell them (at a premium), some zombies will drop them and certain side quests will also give you them as a reward.
