Earning treasure packs outside of Battle Royale

With the Arenas mode being removed next season, it appears there will be no longer be a way to earn treasure packs outside of playing the Battle Royale mode. Looking at the latest trailer, it seems that all of the loot bins have been removed from the Arenas maps being used in the Team Deathmatch mode, making the ability to earn treasure packs inaccessible. The same also goes for Control and Gun Run, the two other modes played in the newly added Mixtape playlist.

The latest EA blog post discussing the addition of Mixtape states that they want TDM to "hold its own as a mode" and be played "as its own activity." It also mentions that they want the other Mixtape modes to retain players for the long-term. I think being able to earn treasure packs, effectively the game's daily login bonus, in Mixtape would allow players to just hop on and play it freely "as its own activity" for the long-term without feeling like they're missing out on in-game progress.

I understand why the current Mixtape modes don't have loot bins, but maybe have a few treasure packs on the ground for each team when the match starts? Maybe have treasure packs spawn from Care Packages, which play a part in a few of the current Mixtape modes?

    I'm feeling a bit worried too, as I used arenas daily. We can only hope that the daily challenges reflect the new modes, and are not turned into a serious grind.

    Treasure packs could even disappear and be replaced with somthing else.

    @OldTreeCreeper @Asmodeus566 This turned out to be the case, sadly. There's no way to access treasure packs in TDM. Hoping that Respawn finds merit in the issue and adds ways to get treasure packs in the Mixtape playlist in the future.

    Bah, this ended up being pretty disappointing when you want to jump in and just play Mixtape. Really wish they'd consider a quality of life update and add a way to get Treasure Packs while playing instead of halfheartedly playing a game of Battle Royale just to get one.
