has anyone finally found a gun merchant or a reliable way to get guns in the gamma sector?

i hope this post isn't in poor taste (aka considered spam), but after being defeated by the third boss twice i decided to become a little more prepared weapon-wise (have highest quality armor you can have at this stage). i really need a gun because the bow isn't cutting it, and the coordinates listed in the thread pinned at the top never match up for me.

i would normally not post something like this, but i'm desperate/frustrated and was just wondering if anyone had any advice or (preferably) coordinates!

any and all help appreciated!

 

Lets see... I've dealt with this guy by pulse jumping with my spear. While in Gamma, the chests in the world will spawn guns now. You can always throw lots of bombs at it.

 

thanks, i guess i'll continue adventuring and hope for the best (i guess my coordination isn't good enough to fight the dragon with melee). any other help would be greatly appreciated!

 

I'll give you some advice by saving that guns in this game are complete crap and aren't worth your time. (though I love the designs)

Make yourself a giant hammer and crush your enemies instead.

 

Have you tried the snipers? Those things are mini-nukes that cost the same amount of energy as pistols.

 

I see a lot of people just gunning this guy down like it's a requirement in order to kill him. Melee works as long as you can hit his main body and dodge him when he swoop down (Which will cause his feets to deal damage) for a short while.

 

I've tried them, but I can get more hits in with more damage per hit using a melee weapon.
The only use i've seen for ranged weapons is keeping many foes at a distance for a while.

 

i actually had a sniper rifle before the character wipe, and miss it quite a bit hahah. i might try the hammer thing but was just really wanting to approach the fight with a range weapon.

 

I really like ranged weapons to initiate a fight then finishing them off with a melee weapon, if it's a large crowd.
