This is my third wipe and I spend most of my first wipe being a noob just leaving solo and managed to hit lv 52 somehow. I had a stash value of 250 mil at the end with bunch of armor and weapons at the end, so to say I had massive gear fear and was a rat.
Second wipe almost the same thing I got much more comfortable and took more fights, played labs for most of my wipe and got better but I died a lot. Still ended up in the same place as first wipe with over 200 mil in stash value and a massive amount of gear.
This wipe I am grinding, I’m lv 46 and have over 80 mil rubles and 160 mil stash value. But I don’t have a bunch of guns and gear because I die. But I don’t fear fighting anymore. I thought my self to stop being angry at BS like Scavs one tapping you from 200m away with a toz or raiders triple tapping you with BP. All the anger I accumulated during past wipes I channeled in my play style to get more agressive and comfortable. And I’ve improved I got a 67% SR and a 1.8 KD. Not the best but comparing it to past wipes I had 80% SR and 0.6 KD and 76% SR and 0.9 KD. Tarkov is about being confident in yourself to make good decisions and channeling anger to stop giving a fuck about what happens helps
