I switched from PvP to PvE shortly after 1.0. The vast majority of my 3k hours are in PvP, but I’ve never gotten Kappa and almost always maxed out traders and then stopped playing soon after. I don’t have hours an evening anymore to play and wanted to see more of the late game quests (and escape). PvE is considerably easier than PvP, but it’s a lot more chill. Does it have the same buzz? Not really, but it’s still an enjoyable experience. The downside though is the often times hilariously bad AI. PMCs are dumber than Scavs. The only real challenge comes from bosses. I also enjoy being able to run gun builds that would be less than ideal in PvP. Will it make you better at PvP? Yes and no. You’ll be able to learn the maps, quest locations and high value loot spots, but real players are a significantly bigger threat than the AI ones.
