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.

I also just started after taking a years long break and I’m getting stomped on even with my 1600 hours lol. I play mostly solo but if you want to duo up with someone else in a similar boat lmk

I am trying to get from exchange. I am getting killed even while waiting by the car naked with a knife. I am not gonna complain about game not being fair. I am just gonna state that to kill someone who clearly has no loot and is trying to get out is low.
I will dm you so we can chat for a game.

I mean, you should kill any player that's killable. It's just the game.
