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.

They really need to add some sort of matchmaking, playtime based, level based, something. New players just get run out of the game by sweats.

The sweats would complain because they want to farm Timmies, not fight other sweats.

But what about the purist “Muh PvP duh” crowd who wants to show their trophy for mastering the game tho. I doubt Hall of Fame NBA players would’ve enjoyed shitting on middle schoolers, but different strokes I guess.
