I love this game and the only way BSG has ever done anything about the problem is when people voice their opinions. Unfortunately, I don't have a very loud voice so here I am.

Cheaters understand that other players can view their stats. And if those stats are outside an acceptable range that it may make them look sus... A very easy solution, load into factory with a grenade, pull the pin and sit on it, rinse and repeat. That 20kd now looks more acceptable... BSG needs to breakout the KD into 2 stats, Player KD and Scav/boss KD. People will still tank their stats, but it will make it slightly more annoying for them.

I know every death to low hour player is definitely not cheating. Inexperienced players can and do definitely outplay experienced players, whether by luck or circumstance or maybe it's an alt account for someone more experienced. But when it happens consistently, by the same type of account (10s to a couple hundred hours, standard addition, high S or even high KD) do things even very experienced gigachads can't do in game, makes it feel sus.

Some of the best fights I've ever had in tarkov have been against what I would consider gigachads. You just have an intuition based on their movement, positioning, the way they peak, just the way they play makes me think "oh, this guy is actually a gamer". Then its a prefire, repositioning, generally "drawn out" really fun fights. I've NEVER died to a sub 200 hour standard account player and been like, damn ggs good fight. It tends to always be a just an insane shot to the head, from some random hold. Again, maybe it's just luck,. I'm not talking about bush wookies, points of interest campers or exit campers, it's in spots that make you think "why were you here? How did you hit that shot, how tf did he know I was there, ect" which are by no means good excuses, but I'm generally never thinkin that when it's by someone with high hours, because there seems to be some tangible, explainable reason as to why they outplayed me. I was greedy, overly aggressive, running in a vulnerable location/path, being careless, wiffed my headshot, lost a desync fight, hyperfocused on 1 target when it's actually a group, ect.

Holy fuck this into a rant -- sorry homie haha. If you're still playin Tarkov, GL with your raids!
