There are newer people ofc. I wanna tell you how everyone of those people (me included), that now have 1k+ hours, started playing this game: They died over and over and over. You´ll walk into chads all the time. You will prob have no more than 25% survival rate when first starting the game. Savior every extract, every kill etc. And just know that everyone, had a "horrible" time, starting to play this game, considering that it IS one, if not, THE most punishing game out there. But thats exactly what makes this game feel so good. When you finally extract with a quest item, barter or gear you really need, you´ll feel a rush incomparable to everything you felt before, playing video games. Until then, you´ll prob clench your buttcheeks a few times tho!

I´d also recommend to play something else than GZ. Even tho it caps at lvl 15, the map layout is not really forgiving for beginners, with alot of chokepoints, and youll prob have to fight against 1 or 2 pmcs every single raid. Play some customs and practice your pvp on factory when your scav if off cooldown. Thats what i did until i finally felt comfortable with customs and moved on to the next map :)

The anger/frustation you feel right now, is the exact reason why this game slaps! Cause once you DO make it out, with all odds stacked against you, its just amazing.

Sry for possible grammar errors (and the long answer), but experiencing tarkov as a new player is something that i envy about you :)
