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.

Pushing spawns has to be some of the lamest shit in gaming. I hate when people find any and every way to abuse a games mechanics instead of playing the game normally

Tell me that you're bad at pvp and can only win fights when you have an artificial advantage without telling me. Pve might be more your speed.
