Location of best weapons and armor

[doomstrike53]

I'm working on making an elite squad of only a few members, each one specializing a different weapon. I had some awesome arms and armor, but something happened with the 0.24.0 update and I lost my save . Now it seems not only the prices have changed, but the location of the best weapons and armor too. There's only 4 weapon classes so far, and the only fighter I haven't gotten yet is the heavy weapons guy. If anyone knows where to find the best equipment, price shouldn't be a problem for me. (I'd like to have the katana swordsman a quick, lightly armored fighter, but I doubt the game calculates that kind of stuff yet)

Stores & Items are all random everytime you start a newgame. my best weapons are from diffreant towns from many diffreant games. I have not noticed a specific town with better items.

well, it might have been coincidence, but i seemed to find higher end stuff the father away from the starting town i went.

and in the merc camp, but i had to kill the guys to get the stuff.

Where's the merc camp at if you don't mind me asking?

[Kamos]

South of the Capitol I think.

[txfirefighter]

is there only one? it is a tower bordered against mountains.

Yes. There are two types of structures found out in the wastes. One is a town, indicated by a square on your map. The other is a trading post (which has been referred to as a merc camp), indicated by a circle.
