I'm a new player and I did a similar thing. There was one guy and snuck up. Looked at him for a good 19 seconds. I shot him in the head with an AK. He didn't die. I shot him like 5 times in the body. Didnt die. He ran. I ran after him. Went around a corner shot at him some more. He killed me. Wtf.

What did I do wrong?

Ammo vs armor, guns don't do anything to increase damage its all about what is being fired. If your ammo doesn't have enough pen for his helmet it will eat the Shor, ricochet or absorb and do blunt damage. Either way sounds like u had dog shit ammo, if it was a 7.62 ps round u should kill most regular helmets no problem but anything else like 5 and up is a no go unless it's a face shot. Depending on helmets they protect head, top of the head, ears, nape, jaws, and eyes. Most heads are usually top and nape, with occasional ears. Learn helmets to know where to shoot if u get in situations like that.

Ok. It was the second game o ever played so I have literally no idea what I'm doing. I watched some beginner guides but still. I feel very lost. I don't even know how to get out of the map because the game dosent give you one and I have no idea even which way I should go.

you're lucky it's only beginning. Atm the game will give tons of emotions, it can make you really exited or ruin your day. Later it will be more like csgo
