I finally started playing new patch since the load times became bearable. Pre-wipe I made lvl 20 and was finally able to compete without just losing all my stuff every PMC run.
Granted, I could be better. But, I know the maps, where the snipe spots are, the choke points, where the scavs spawn, extractions etc..
For a player that was just over 15 before and had access to the Flea Market compared to now, it is extremely frustrating to try and just get the basic missions done.
Everyone on Customs is running 45 match acp and good gear. Forget ratting on Factory, same thing, all kitted out. My experience when I do try to "Gear UP" for my level is that no matter what I do, unless I get lucky and catch somebody slipping with good gear , I get 1 tapped and out. Doesn't matter, the ammo goes straight through my armor and I have to go sell all my shit that would be worth a fortune on the Flea just to grind to get to 15.
"Welcome to Tarkov" I get it. Post 15 is a different game and us sub 15s are just live NPCs to be farmed, it's frustrating.
