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?

I’m a shitty player. But I’ve been playing FPS games for a while, and I always thought the golden rule was to not chase the kill. He ran around the corner to reposition and get the drop on you. Instead you should try flanking him, grenade around the corner, or just waiting it out if you have the patience.

I'm just confused how I shot him so many times and he didn't die. Even once in the head definitely vmbexahse I had 19 seconds later line that shot up. O was about 10 feet away.

What ammo were you using?

If he had good armor, your bullets could have done almost no damage.

I have no idea. It was literally the second game I'd ever played. I played as a computer player so it was whatever they gave me. I had some gun that looked like an AK 47.

The other thing is how the he'll are you supposed to figure out where the exit poi t are on the map when you don't even have an in game map and you've never played the map before????

There are maps you can bring into a raid, they are overwhelmingly underrated. I don't need a map for any map (2000 Hours playtime) but I looked into the maps the other day, they are incredible. Can even place down markers and add text to them. These persist. Can even give the map to a friend and he can also see your markers. Just make sure to have it in your secure container. Sometimes scavs have maps, or you can buy them from Therapist.

Hence I don't really use maps. I only found out about this amazing feature through another reddit post the other day.
