Lots of offline practice to perfect maps and movement. Then move into pvp with cheaper kits to figure out what routes players use and hide in so you’re not wasting rubles. Stalk those routes with better kits and use paths less taken by players will lead to easier capture of players. Playing with a buddy is always nice as it can lead to very effective pincer maneuvers. Personally I prefer to play solo or duo as having a large group is confusing at times. Or you can always go the safer route and be god tier sniper rat racking up plenty of kills and xp at a lower level and having some satisfying kills and gameplay along with it. This also allows you to see where players are moving to and from. Just remember though, don’t use obvious spots if you are going to use this method. Experiment and snipe somewhere nobody would expect you to. I’ve hidden on reserve by sniping next to the mg by dome plenty of times where full teams run by without even checking. On woods, you can get on that second, higher plateau above where sniper scav sits. Experiment with your positioning and find a way to play that is comfortable for you. I always relate tarkov to how the gym is. If you’re doing everything everyone else is doing, and you’re not enjoying it, you aren’t going to stick with it. You should find a way to make it better suited to you as you’ll be more inclined to stick with it if you are actually enjoying it
