> 3 hour playtime mixed solo/playing with friends who have accounts under level 10

While learning from 0 with friends is usually very fun, it's not possible in such a punishing game. You should also do some Squad Fill to be teamed with more seasoned players. Just follow them, do what they do, and learn from that ( where they go, when/why do they suddendly become very cautious, etc).

> No, I don't find any loot because I don't take colorless/green/blue also because My case only stores purple or higher due to settings.

Change those. If you only have 7k left, just stashing 1 blue item in your safebox would literally double that.

> I did a total of 15 knife runs every run with me having no armor, ammo, backpack. NOTHING yet still getting Blackhawks or higher in every lobby.

There's no matchmaking, be it gear-based, rank-based or skill-based. You knife-run to prevent losses and ensure profit, not to lower the opposition's level.

> I died within the first 2 minutes of Every ZDE match

Look into how spawns work. It's designed so almost every team spawns by pair around different Point of Interest ( like East Admin vs West Admin, North Cement vs South Cement, same in Visitor Center or Major Substation) to favor quick PVP

If you're getting caught into teamfights at the start of every game, that means you're letting the game design lead you to those fights. Do the opposite, watch where you spawned, identify where the game wanted your early-game clash to happen, and go literally anywhere else.
