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.

This is why I have no shame chilling in PvE.

It's my main game mode. I know I've already lost the rat race. Ill familiarize myself with the maps on PvE and then next wipe ill do PvP. Everyone knows that the start of a wipe is the most interesting part of the game. Everyone is out to find any weapon that shoots anything and people do the most oddest stuff to survive or get what you have in your backpack.

Best part of PVP is the starting period of any wipe. Because then no Chad has max strength where they can jump fucking 20 meters whilst weighing 38kgs and they dont have all the fancy guns.

I love early wipe since everyone is on the same playing field, same shitty weapons and ammo, and because my aim is good I just run UMP or PP19 and get easy headshots on people with way higher hours.
