[Opinion] It is impossible to compete with players if you start this late in the wipe. BSG need to make equipment progressively more accessible as the wipe goes on. This is my take on a solution.

[THE PROBLEM]

For context I started playing Tarkov in 2018. Haven't played for a while due to all of the cheating and performance issues.

I decided I wanted to start again and just do some chill raids but without exception, every single player I come against is wearing level 4 – 6 armour and using laser beams with M993/M61/BP/BS. I am well aware this is normal for late wipe, I'm not complaining about that.

What I do think is an issue is that especially for new players, mid-late wipe is BRUTAL. I can't imagine picking up the game at this stage of the wipe and trying to learn it. I consider myself a veteran who runs towards the hot PVP areas but unless I rat and face tap an unsuspecting player, I stand no chance in any gunfight because I'm instantly dead if I miss the first bullet. No access to any good armour, guns, or ammo and won't have flea market access until much later.

[THE SOLUTION]

Let's say the wipe cycle is 6 months:

Every 2 months, reduce the flea market level requirement by 5.

After 2 months, allow all players access to level 2 traders. After 4 months, give everyone access to level 3 traders.

This will give new players and late wipe joiners at least a fighting chance to bring out some decent ammo such as 7.62x54R LPS, 7.62×51 BCP FMJ, 7.62×39 PS, 5.56×45 M856A1.

Let me know how else you think we can benefit new players or returning players joining late in the wipe.
