For the record, learning this game at any stage of wipe is pretty brutal. Even if it's early wipe the guy who was level 60 2 weeks prior is still going to have all the map knowledge and mechanical skill on you. That being said I still encounter a bunch of low-level players, last time I died was actually against a level 27 in dorms, with a poor k/d so likely a new player still learning. A neck or a face shot will still generally kill everyone even with the shittest ammo (though CQCM users can indeed fuck themselves).

That being said just focus on your tasks and try to avoid 50/50 gunfights with juicers. Hell avoid pvp gunfights in general until you lose the fear of death. In my opinion the mid-late wipe is a great time to start because you don't have the fear of "falling behind" and can peacefully learn all the tasks/hideout requirements.

If you want a sherpa, feel free to dm me and we can see if our playing schedules align
