local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local weapon = false

local serverstorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local laser = serverstorage:FindFirstChild("Classes"):FindFirstChild("Laser")
local rocket = serverstorage:FindFirstChild("Classes"):FindFirstChild("Rocket")
local demo = serverstorage:FindFirstChild("Classes"):FindFirstChild("Demo")
local assault = serverstorage:FindFirstChild("Classes"):FindFirstChild("Assault")

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("StatusTag").Changed:connect(function(value)
	if value == "Match in Progress" then
		while true do
			if weapon == false then
				if player.Class.Value == "Laser" then
					weapon = true
					local weapon = laser:FindFirstChild("Phaser")
					weapon:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
					weapon:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
				elseif player.Class.Value == "Rocket" then
					weapon = true
					local weapon = rocket:FindFirstChild("Launcher")
					weapon:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
					weapon:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear					 
				elseif player.Class.Value == "Demo" then
					weapon = true
					local weapon = demo:FindFirstChild("Grenade")
					weapon:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
					weapon:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear					
				elseif player.Class.Value == "Assault" then
					weapon = true
					local weapon = assault:FindFirstChild("Rifle")
					weapon:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
					weapon:Clone().Parent = player.StarterGear		
				end
			end
			wait(1)
		end
	end
end)

This is a LocalScript inside the StarterPack. It works to an extent. It gives you a phaser if you are the class laser and the game has started. But if you change mid way through the game and die and you stay with the phaser, and not get the other gun. I don't know how to get this to work.

This may work. I used an old school longhand version. I didn't test this, so tell me if it works.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

wep = false

local serverstorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local laser = serverstorage:FindFirstChild("Classes"):FindFirstChild("Laser")
local rocket = serverstorage:FindFirstChild("Classes"):FindFirstChild("Rocket")
local demo = serverstorage:FindFirstChild("Classes"):FindFirstChild("Demo")
local assault = serverstorage:FindFirstChild("Classes"):FindFirstChild("Assault")

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("StatusTag").Changed:connect(function(value)
    if value == "Match in Progress" then
        while true do
            if wep == false then
                if player.Class.Value == "Laser" then
                    if wep == true then
						player.StarterGear:ClearAllChildren()
						local weapon = laser:FindFirstChild("Phaser")
                    	local back=weapon:Clone() 
						back.Parent=player.Backpack
                    	local start=weapon:Clone() 
						start.Parent=player.StarterGear
					elseif wep==false then
                    	local weapon = laser:FindFirstChild("Phaser")
                    	local back=weapon:Clone() 
						back.Parent=player.Backpack
                    	local start=weapon:Clone() 
						start.Parent=player.StarterGear
					end
                elseif player.Class.Value == "Rocket" then
                    if wep == true then
						player.StarterGear:ClearAllChildren()
						local weapon = rocket:FindFirstChild("Launcher")
                    	local back=weapon:Clone()
						back.Parent=player.Backpack
                    	local start=weapon:Clone()
						start.Parent = player.StarterGear
					elseif wep==false then
                    	local weapon = rocket:FindFirstChild("Launcher")
                    	local back=weapon:Clone()
						back.Parent=player.Backpack
                    	local start=weapon:Clone()
						start.Parent = player.StarterGear  
					end                 
                elseif player.Class.Value == "Demo" then
                    if wep == true then
						player.StarterGear:ClearAllChildren()
						local weapon = demo:FindFirstChild("Grenade")
                    	local back=weapon:Clone() 
						back.Parent = player.Backpack
                   		local start=weapon:Clone() 
						start.Parent = player.StarterGear 
					elseif wep==false then
                    	local weapon = demo:FindFirstChild("Grenade")
                    	local back=weapon:Clone() 
						back.Parent = player.Backpack
                    	local start=weapon:Clone() 
						start.Parent = player.StarterGear
					end                  
                elseif player.Class.Value == "Assault" then
                    if wep == true then
						player.StarterGear:ClearAllChildren()
						local weapon = assault:FindFirstChild("Rifle")
                    	local back=weapon:Clone()
						back.Parent = player.Backpack
                    	local start=weapon:Clone()
						start.Parent = player.StarterGear
					elseif wep==false then
                   		local weapon = assault:FindFirstChild("Rifle")
                    	local back=weapon:Clone()
						back.Parent = player.Backpack
                    	local start=weapon:Clone()
						start.Parent = player.StarterGear
					end      
                end
            end
            wait(1)
        end
    end
