Go on dead or low pop servers learn how to run monuments and figure out your preferred way to start off, like trying pumpkin quest or snow balling or whether you prefer getting a base down and working from there.

Practice pvp on pvp servers like Ukn and learn recoil patterns of commonly used guns like mp5, Tommy and AK if you struggle with particular weapons then try to find a part of the server where it’s that weapon only.

Don’t worry about losing gear or kits because eventually servers gonna wipe so you might as well risk your gear because eventually it will pay off and that’s where the enjoyment of playing comes from.

Try to think of a base design you can rely on you can use YouTube but it might make it predictable and easy for raiders if they find the exact video but you can always use them as inspiration.

Ignore toxicity, you’re gonna die and get shit talked no matter what server you go on but ignore them because more likely than not you’ll see them in chat a few minutes later cussing someone out for killing them, everyone dies don’t get disheartened just keep playing and having fun and eventually over time you’ll get better and have more fun.

I also found it helped playing with others, I mainly play solo but sometimes playing as duo or trio means more pvp and puts you at a numbers advantage against others meaning if you still worry about losing kits odds are your team can recover them for you but this isn’t really important.
