If you shoot down eleven or more medallions, return to the merchant and he'll reward you with the Punisher pistol, absolutely free. Look at your map for the locations of the fifteen medallions—only seven are in the first area, and you won't be able to find the other eight until you enter the graveyard, later in the chapter. Free Shotgun You can actually get the Shotgun very early in the game, and totally free of cost. During the first part of the first chapter, you'll enter a village that's swarming with not-zombies. There are three main buildings in this area, and you'll find the free Shotgun on the second floor of the northeast building. Free Broken Butterfly At the beginning of chapter four, you can backtrack a bit with Ashley and get the Broken Butterfly pistol for free.
