Put all your items into a folder called "Items" in replicated storage, then run this code inside server script service.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local items = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Items) -- You can use server storage, it is just that the client cant access server storage.
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function() --This also runs every time the player dies.
local backpack = player.Backpack
local children = items:GetChildren() --Gets the children
local random = math.random(1,#children) -- I think at arrays start at 0, so change to 1 or 0 based on if this works or not.
local child = children[random]
local clone = child:Clone()
clone.Parent = backpack
end)
end)
This code is untested. But the thought behind it is that when a character spawns, it gives them a random item.

You have to check if the player has a tool in their character or backpack

I don't think that there is actually a reason to do so because the character added function only runs once. But I agree that to be more safe you should check if they already have a gear.
I'll try to give you a script to work out.
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
-- Create a folder in ServerStorage and put the tools in there and name it ToolsFolder
local ToolFol = ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("ToolsFolder")
local Tools = ServerStorage.ToolsFolder:GetChildren()
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
hum.Died:Connect(function()
plr:LoadCharacter()
local ToolinChar = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
local ToolinBack = plr.BackPack:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")
local rannum = math.random(1, #Tool)
if ToolinChar then
ToolinChar:Destroy()
elseif ToolinBack then
ToolinBack:Destroy()
end
if rannum == 1 then
local ClonedTool = ToolFol:FindFirstChild("ToolNameInHere")
ClonedTool.Parent = char.BackPack
elseif rannum == 2 then
local ClonedTool = ToolFol:FindFirstChild("ToolNameInHere")
ClonedTool.Parent = char.BackPack
elseif rannum == 3 then
local ClonedTool = ToolFol:FindFirstChild("ToolNameInHere")
ClonedTool.Parent = char.BackPack
elseif rannum == 4 then
local ClonedTool = ToolFol:FindFirstChild("ToolNameInHere")
ClonedTool.Parent = char.BackPack
-- Add as many elseif statements for how many tools in the tool folder...
end
print("Gave A Player a new Tool On Death!")
end)
end)
end)
Try that and if it doesn't work, please comment below!

By the way this is a Normal Script and put it in ServerScriptService

Try using math random, and then create a line of code where if it generated number 1 it would give the player a tool if it generated number 2 it would give the player a different tool
like if and elseif statements but to be more safe, you can also check just incase if the player doesn't have a tool in their character or backpack
