 ======== Weapon Placements ========

 There a few ways to do weapon placements on your map. You can either do random placements with **ttt_weapon_random**, **ttt_grenade_random**, and **ttt_ammo_random** or do hand placements of each gun. You can also do a bit of both.
-=====ttt_weapon_random=====
+=====Random Weapon Spawner=====
+The easiest and most versatile method for gun placements is using **Random Weapon Spawner.** This gameobject will choose a random weapon from the list of regular terrorist weapons. To use, simply place in hammer where you want the weapon to spawn. It has a big bounding that marks where weapons could possibly spawn with a revolving preview. The preview will show how each weapon and ammo box will spawn with your settings. **If the bounding box is not inside of something the weapon will have no issue spawning where you placed it.**

 Each weapon and ammo type has its own world model when you place it, this will show you exactly where it will spawn. Just simply place them where you want them to appear. You should put the correct ammo type near each weapon if you want them to have ammo, how much is up to preference.
