In a pvp game finding a good gun shouldn't require so much time

[Mountain]

The elite crates in the launch site were the best place for players to get decent weapons in a short enough period of time.

It's like that was the last place that was grind-free. Should have
maybe left them accessible and placed containers around the map that you
could unlock with keycards.

Could place them in snowy areas, icebergs, caves ect .. open up the map a little bit.
