How do I get out of the rat mindset?

Ok, so some context. My first wipe, just got to level 16(?) and unlocked the flea. So far, my tarkov experience has gone pretty smoothly. I have plenty of money. I can get my quests done. Not too many roadblocks. But the whole time, I’ve just been playing like a rat. It’s not a bad thing, (it’s definitly effective) but I want to get better at pvp and not be scared of it, because in all honesty the game gets boring playing solo and just ratting out quests for a number in your menu to go up. The experience feels empty. But then if I want to do pvp, I just get headshotted out of no where and die.

Sometimes I’ll find myself just waiting in the menu, doing nothing. Maybe it’s gear fear, maybe it’s boredom, maybe it’s lack of confidence.

I’m always watching videos on YouTube and I don’t know how, but creators always seem to know how to make their raids super exciting and eventful. Maybe it’s pure luck, maybe it’s a play style, idk.

So I want to know how to escape this loop. I want some more action in my raids, I want some fun fights, but I don’t want an empty experience.

Where should I go? What should I do? What do I bring? How do I git gud?

Thx 🙂
