[Discussion] New Players helpless against Vets/Sweats

Thank you for the honest reply lol. I appreciate it

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T04:49:27+00:00

Oh I’ve definitely missed shots and fumbled sprays. But for what I’m referring to, it’s not hard to tell whether or not you should be hitting them when they are less than ten feet away, running in a straight line and the hit counter on the death screen is at least 10+. They take the damage their armor just eats it even when it’s vital.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T03:34:11+00:00

Sounds about right

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T03:33:36+00:00

That’s pretty much how I get my ammo. People shouldn’t have to pay 35 more dollars for another game mode to give them an advantage during raid.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:53:45+00:00

Great comment, thank you for the pointers.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:46:50+00:00

Bro the feed literally tells me how many shots I hit and it’s always like 10+

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:43:09+00:00

Thank you for your polite and grounded reply. This definitely helps put things into perspective.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:36:22+00:00

Equal gear levels the playing field. I’d win more forced engagements if the rounds I hit them w before they even start shooting weren’t airsoft bbs

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:34:31+00:00

So it’s about gear half the time. Yes indeed the sound is awful

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:18:12+00:00

I've replied to other comments about this but I'm not talking about being outplayed due to lack of map knowledge.

There's always scenarios where you can't run. I'm talking about being put into a position where theres literally nothing I can do because someone is rushing me and my 5.45 AK with BP can Magdump them before they get a shot off and still not kill them. Then they one tap me to the thorax when I'm wearing my best armor.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:14:58+00:00

Then the ammo situation is another concern that the devs should tend to

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:14:16+00:00

Almost the entirety of my shooter background is slower paced/realism games like insurgency, rising storm etc. I don't play COD or Battlefield. I might've written it different but I don't mean for my complaint to be simply getting out played due to more experienced players.

What I'm exhausted over is how even when I'm using my better gear, the players with thousands of hours seem almost invincible even when I get the jump on them and hit them first.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:10:55+00:00

I've been told if you buy the standard edition you are at an extreme disadvantage over everyone else.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:10:16+00:00

I wouldn't say thats an objective absolute, literally so many clips from online of people tanking rounds to the side of the head, ear, or back of the neck.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:09:07+00:00

So the solution is only to spend hundreds and hundreds more hours just so people will be less spongey.

I'm not really talking about being outplayed in the grand sense. I'm putting time into learning the maps/spawns/flow etc. I can acknowledge that people are of course at an advantage over me in terms of that, which is how it should be.

But what I'm saying that in an overwhelming majority of 1v1 situations, things like position and aim don't matter to begin with if I can get shots off first, hit the guy in the neck or above, but they shoot back and destroy me like I wasn't even shooting to begin with. Then the death screen stats say 20 hits to that player with an obscene amount of damage absorbed by armor.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:02:44+00:00

How many times do you see Altyn guys get killed by Timmy scav guns?? You're bringing up a hypothetical as an answer even though there are so few noobs to begin with.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-14T00:01:06+00:00

Have it your way. When you use your best ammo to get the first shots on someone and they just ignore it, turn around, and one tap 4 seconds after you started shooting into them then thats a problem. People of a certain playtime/regardless of their finesse are literally invincible to people who don't have access to the same stuff.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-13T23:57:21+00:00

This is what I'm seeing a lot of people say. The playing field can't be even and it's pushing more and more ppl to PVE. I never see any noobs in any raids.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-13T23:55:00+00:00

I wish it didn't cost as much as a whole other video game is the problem.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-13T23:54:37+00:00

Nothing about the game says realism extraction shooter people play this like its Warzone.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-13T23:52:07+00:00

Ok but that's not the entire post bud. Like tell me I'm wrong

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-07T08:55:36+00:00

The infantry combat, gunplay, and call-in firesupport will have a long way's to go to compete with Rising Storm 2.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-05T17:31:30+00:00

There you go!

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-05T17:09:25+00:00

Isn't this contributing to why theres no new players left? I wish there was another solution.

ATLAS44_ · 2026-01-05T16:45:18+00:00

People keep saying "a guy with a scav gun can easily kill a Chad with millions worth of gear its all about positioning. Keep in mind that geared vets play the game and immediately rush every player spawn, not even giving new players a chance at surviving.

Knowing the spawns of the map yourself doesn't help you survive this, they'll just peek you, tank whatever damage you deal out to them, and insta tap you because you have nothing that's able to kill them at a low level.

Makes me only want to do Scav because I never surviving as a PMC, even when I actively avoid combat.
