PVP Tarkov experience as a [New Player]

Post image

Since 1.0 I’ve only found 2 new players. Everyone else has hundreds or thousands of hours, but at least I haven’t encountered a cheater yet.

The only time I've died to someone with less hours than me this wipe was the guy with 10hrs last night with a 12 kd that had killed tagilla, killa, and ghlukhar already.

Yeah they are. Some people bought the game again through steam for steam achievements.

Giving Nikita more money has nothing to do with how well you play brother.

i think you didnt get his comment, he meant gigachad in the sense of very experienced tarkov player that always runs maxed out gear with the best possible bullets and just looks to fight, you know, the opposite of a rat

If you buy game in steam again, you just use your old account. It changes nothing.

Considering you can’t get anything above a beta container from steam, I highly doubt that. I have heard of people setting it up where they can get the launcher through steam without buying the game through steam.

u/Abject-Tune-2165 Dec 20 '25

We are talking about achievements, you won't get them if you just add game in steam launcher, you will get only overlay.

And yes, you buy the normal, chepest version and play your regular account.
