Yes,the survivor bases need money to trade with the Doomsday Follower Tribal's,as they havve access to a military base with supplies.Luckily the player never gets to access this military base,as thesupplies contained within would un-balance the game.

Also,one last-final update regarding the unlockable weapons,rather than a Wolf-Edge pistol,you can unlock a Smith & Wesson M500,known as the handcannon.

Of course,this money won't be served up to you on a golden plate,many area's containing money also have a large amount of infected,which can be trouble-some without preparation,luckily,the infected are still not super-smart,and can be lured to drown in a river,or into a trap.
