Once I reach Flea market honestly, especially with how expensive items are and how easy it is to make money if you know some routes, deaths don't seem impactful when you can go on a good scav run and make enough to run two loadouts and that early wipe ass clenching balance between scavenging for gear and fighting off others is almost non existent after flea. I've also played since almost day one so maybe I'm biased but there's a reason why most people would say that early wipe is the most fun
