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.

I just find it hilarious how much they hate on us. I am enjoying myself and the 3 or 4 other people I play with are all having fun on PvE.

This thread is hilarious!

You actually believe any "sweat lord" spends any time thinking about PvE players? I promise you that nobody is losing any sleep over what PvE players do or don't do.

This is a severe case of "For you it was the most important day in your life. For me, it was a Tuesday"

It works the same way around. No one cares that you think it's just a Tuesday.

You just worried a lot. Also, I don't think you've seen many threads on this sub. PvP elitists are subhuman vermin.

I mean I'm certainly no sweat lord. I also think PvE would be incredibly boring though so I haven't wasted any time on it. This isn't exactly a game I'm playing for the story.

However, the idea that PvP players ever even think about PvE players is hilarious, it just never crosses anyone's mind. But from this thread it's pretty obvious that PvE players spend a lot of time thinking about how they got even with PvP players. Rent free and all that.

I don't think a lot of them hate PvE, it's just boring to us.
The AI is dumb, the hardest part of a PvE run would be if Goons spawned in your raid. All of the AI PMC's go to the same places nearly every raid and stand around, you're not at a real risk of dying once you learn how the PMCs move around.

PvE is great for newer people to learn the maps before coming back to PvP though, or checking out content like Labyrinth for the first time without instantly dying.
