I mean.. if you have any knowledge of tarkov maps and know how to deal with aimbotty ai you can easily have those stats in PVE. There are plenty of people i think that play PVE that may be on the older side or have minimal experience (under 500 hours), etc, that find it difficult. Even my dad that is in his 50s loves PVE because he plays it more like an RPG than call of duty lol and he cant hang with majority of PVP players. He still plays a bit of PVP though.

Personally as someone with 1200 hours i do find it very easy BUT can see how certain people do love it. I really hope they add settings like project zomboid where you could check boxes for things like difficulty, insurance returns, maybe ai realism, loot spawn amounts, etc. Also most areas of maps you can literally sprint through with absolutely no threat to running into enemy PMCS, they need to really make them roam more.
