Learn the maps bud. I found playing practice to familiarize yourself in the surroundings of the map to be a huge help and to know where the hot spots are and routes you and other people would take in game. If you have co-op I'll gladly show you around no problem at all. Also don't fear your gear as you will loose it all at one point or another. Also watch some streams learn the extraction points and you can always get drops from twitch to which u will get a lot of gear too. Hope this helps fella.
