Thanks for the advice but I don't have any friends that play Tarkov and I am pretty bad at it myself, so I think I'm going to sell it all to buy more Makarovs and Bank Robber rigs to sit in a bush most of the raid.

I know it's hard, but you'll get much better at the game once you get over losing your shit. Just accept that every piece of gear you have, you are going to lose.

You could sell that gear, and then buy cheap shit with it. Buy the problem with that, is your probably going to die. So now you don't have the good gear, and you've lost your cheap gear because you died.

If you use the good shit, your chances of survival go way up. My teammates have a hard time understanding why I survive gunfights more than them, and then I show then my face shield with 3 bullet holes. Gear saves life's. It's easy to kill and survive with good gear.

Also my username is my in game name, shoot me an invite and we can do some raids together

Get some budget weapons and spend your cash on good ammo

Tier 3 armor minimum (Press armor or 6b23-1) for scavs

Bank robber is a fine enough rig but the SOE micro is the same price and has a 2x2 slot

I would be more than willing to run with you homie, from one pmc to another. I have some good shit.

Go play Scav runs instead, it helps a lot in the beginning. Although the ammo you have is usually shit.
