Where to find the machine gun in Alone in the Dark

The machine gun is located on a desk in the office on the second floor of the Pregtz Shipping Company warehouse, which you’ll visit during the New Orleans Riverside memory in Chapter 3. 

When you first land at the riverside, make your way to the back of the Harbormaster’s Office in the maze of crates then climb up the ladder and down into the office. Grab the Stevedore’s Key on the key rack next to the door then head over to the crane control panel on the other side of the loading area. Interact with the panel using the key to move the large crate blocking the path to the sewers.

Make your way through the sewers until you come out into the warehouse. Make your way up the stairs, around the gangway, and into the office. The Tommy Gun is sitting on the desk on your left as you enter.
