I love tarkov, it has gained a special place in my hearth. I am very happy about the 12.12 changes. The game became much more hardcore, less run and gun in general.
My problem is the people that rush the game and extract after 10 minutes into a raid. No one says "Hey I want to build a loadout using parts I think that look cool without caring about stats, and go hunt pmcs on a random map". Most people are either questing or doing quick loot runs.
I keep running into same guns, same attachments, same armors, same outfits, in the same places. I have yet to see a dude with a gun that's unique. Like an ak-74 with 45 round mags using those russian sights, or a tx-15 that looks like those decked out ar-15's from irl, you get the point. Please don't use guns and attachments just based on stats, try out things you haven't tried before. If you have seen a gun in a movie, game, video, etc. try building the same gun in tarkov for example.
Don't just use the default and the most expensive outfits, there are many outfits but most people stay as default and buy the most expensive one once they can, because the only reason why they buy it is to flex.
My typical raid would be me building something I never played with before like an FN FAL with the long barrel and old parts, clothing according to the map I chose and armor to match it. I mostly use caps, hats, berets and sometimes helmets if I feel like it. Then I ask my self where do I want to have a gunfight ? I think of a spot and map that didn't have too much pvp like the cottage and swamp area in shoreline and then get in to a raid.
I recommend this especially if you feel like you are getting tired of tarkov and feel like it's becoming too repetetive.
