On multiple maps, a box with 2 lights and a shovel on top of it can be found at specific locations. Approaching the shovel box causes either a green light or a red light to turn on. If the light is green, the shovel on top of the box turns towards a direction. Following this direction eventually leads you to a foxhole build fortification. Digging the foxhole reveals an altar with the Handgun in the middle which can then be picked up. The Handgun is not an unlock and can only be used until death.

If the light is red, then the Handgun cannot be found on that round. The trigger for green light is currently unknown, but it is believed to be random chance.

NOTE: To find the dig site, the player must get there without dying, if the player dies, the green light must be activated again by approaching the shovel box. Once the Handgun is picked up, the shovel box will only flash a red light for the remainder of the round. The foxhole fortification will appear only when the player who activated the greenlight is close to it.
