Can't find it?
Common reasons
- An enemy had this weapon
- An enemy carrying a weapon does not make it obtainable by the player. Those cases are listed separately and are not counted as pickup routes.
- I want it in the story, not multiplayer
- This weapon currently only has confirmed multiplayer loadouts. No story pickup is known.
- I am in the right chapter and still missed it
- Some pickups only exist during a specific story step. Follow the chapter walkthrough order rather than searching the whole area.
