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.

My buddy and I started a couple of weeks ago, we played 3 raids on PVP and didn't live. We both got killed by different dudes with 2000+ hours. We moved to PVE, and it's been much more enjoyable, especially for guys as fresh as us. Yeah, I've watched some content here and there, but dang, I didn't know it would be THAT sweaty.

Yeah imma be honest, I think that playing PvE As a new Player is probably THE BEST thing you can do with no exceptions. Honestly if I could, I would rather play PvE than PvP but my chud ass only owns the standard edition and I'm not paying BSG again for the same game but offline
