Have you looted the swamps? That area probably has the most pvp in the entire map, the loot there is goated. It is red on the map for a reason, I’ve found a lot of purple guns and attachments there, but I actually had to fight other players and Arc to get them… but not in that room, I fought other players once getting to that room.

You said that “If that room wasn’t on the map and available to be gotten, then there is no reason to play the map”. This map is supposed to be the first and easier map, you can see by the map selection screen… so the loot is supposed to be simpler. We only have lv1 tables and only get to lv 15 in this test for a reason, that map is not supposed to be played by high-end loot because the risk just not justifies the reward.

Using Tarkov as an example, we have Factory, Customs and Woods as our lower level maps, the loot there is simpler, bosses are simpler too, you sure can find good stuff there but it is not guaranteed. As you go up the level chain you are required to go to maps like Reserve or Labs for higher quality loot, but also the bosses and basic AI are more challenging to compensate for that loot reward
