The axe bug is another one I intend to fix, but just haven't had the time yet.
When it comes to finding duplicate guns, this was specifically designed as an incentive to adventure out with less than an armful of guns. If you had 1 of every gun, you have absolutely no chance to find another gun which would donate in to a good amount of reputation. If however you donate half of your guns then you have a chance of finding new versions of those guns that will be worth a lot. If you have a favorite gun that you want a backup of, you can always buy a second one at the Safe Zone. That should work in case it is broken by a zombie. > Ok, the first thing I speak on is > the axe bug.
