Apex Legends: Can't Find a Gun

Nothing worse than landing in a hotzone in a battle royale type game and not being able to find a gun. I ran around like a chicken with its head cut off for a solid minute and a half. Tried to rescue my teammate, and accidentally ran right into an opponent that was in the process of executing them. By some miracle I punched em out, but as I went to loot their shit I got murdered by some asshat with an energy rifle. Tough titties.
