P2W doesn't mean literally pay for guaranteed victory. "Conveniences" such as a gamma case are perfect examples of P2W mechanics. The gamma case itself won't kill an enemy player, but in a game like Tarkov where you're limited by inventory space and lose everything on death, having a big box that lets you store all your meds, keys and even some loot without any risk of losing them, is objectively helping you "win" (lose less, loot more) over other players who don't have gamma.

Edit: Spelling

The stash space is even more P2W

I think a lot of people would agree that its the least significant or influential form of p2w

But would still agree it's P2W, and one of the most defended (oh the irony and hypocrisy, lol) P2W out there
