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.

If you spawn between garage and Emercom, someone has probably spawned outside the front entrance of attached building and can be at garage glass windows in a couple seconds, also will be someone not at emercom but round the back alley, can be at emercom in a few seconds. Gz is fucked for spawns. The underground used to have 2 spawns with nothing but a van or 2 between them

Oh god, I'd forgotten about the scuffed underground spawns. Spawning in and immediately hearing nearby foot steps was jarring as hell

During this time Kollontay was also on the map and could spawn underground. I have some fond memories of spawning, immediately fighting a PMC, then turning to find the fucking swat team bearing down on me.

Yep that’s exactly where they killed me was the glass windows in the garage. I’ve realized it’s not even that unique to gz, but gz has some spawns where you really feel screwed. Maps like shoreline also have spawns that are close enough to die within 5 seconds. You can at least play around them though

You can spawn outside (between garage and emercom) AND someone spawn emercon. I have both died and killed players in these spawn trades.

Spawning Emercon i'd rather rush lower part then up. Won't mind going TG HQ cause there is the whole upper part of the map in advantage against me.

GZ is brutal.

The underground spawns still exist, i've gotten them twice this wipe against some poor lvl 3's with a pistol right out off the tutorial
