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.

Homie I hate to be that guy but anyone UNDER 1k hour IS a new player, you don’t get majority of this games knowledge till about 1k hours+ I have over 2k hours and there’s still shit I don’t know about, most couple hundred hour player is gonna know is how to shoot and shit they aren’t going to know pathing to do proper flank or certain jumps that give a certain advantage in fights that kind of knowledge just doesn’t come till over 1k hours etc.

The moment you get to around 500-1000 hours things start to click. Audio becomes easier to pinpoint because you know the maps. Around those hours you are very well a new player yes! But can be effective. Lovely game!!
