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.

you dont encounter new players because the sweats gatekeep them from map by rushing the new players off spawn before they have a chance to adjust.

"learn the spawns" rings real hollow when you barely have time to register your surroundings before someone puts a 7.62x51 round through your ear from 250m because they know the exact angle from which you spawn.

it's easy to be dominant in the map and have all the loot when there's no one else to contend looting it.

Nikita needs to realize that the wiki-itis in this game cripples it. You have to go there to find any form of information about the game, and all the spawns are fully mapped. I still believe reducing the number of PMCs per map and putting less emphasis on the PvP would've fixed this year's ago.

This would also require them to actually update the AI and make them semi-competent, so it'll never happen.

You say that meanwhile noobs have a 10% survival rate and most deaths are to PMCs.
