Noob - Constant one tap to head and lost all gear
Returning to game after a break and account reset :(. Struggling with even the 1st missions now. Cant see the enemy and I get constant one tap to head. Now have no gear and no money so what are you supposed to do? I'm going to have to reset character? Also spend forever waiting for helicopter and people spawn to camp and get one right away. When will a que system be introduced?

I'm not experiencing any of that. Slow down, constantly check your angles, and don't stand in the open while trying to have a shooting contest with the AI. Shoot at the AI, quickly break line of sight then pop up in another spot. Don't be Rambo, be a sneaky little mouse. You'll eventually figure out the AI and where they are on the map. Also, there's no reason you should be broke. I always return to base with loot to sell even if its just the sights from the AI's guns.
When you're running low on money in the game, you should receive some basic starter gear without needing to manually reset your character.

Also, as mentioned earlier, I recommend changing your strategy. Try playing more cautiously- avoid rushing, scan your surroundings carefully, and use the map to understand the area better.

You can also team up with other players, gather gear from AI enemies, or head to the starter city. It's relatively easy but has many buildings and scattered AI, so sometimes you might not notice them right away. I suggest not heading straight to the center of the city. Instead, try flanking from the sides and focusing on your mission objective (for example). Pick up any gear you find and sell it when you return to the base. This way, you can slowly build up your funds.

And finally, if your character dies at a specific location, you can return to that spot and collect your gear. However, note that if the character dies again before you retrieve the gear from the first location, the first location, including all the gear, will disappear.

Typically (at least from my personal experience), if I see a player who doesn't have gear at the base, I ask them if they need any and give them what I can. There are other players who do the same, and they will be happy to help you at the base if you just ask.

Unbind your sprint button.

Set all guns to single fire.

If you can't see the enemies it's likely because you are not looking ahead and just running in willy nilly.

I don't move anywhere unless i have scoped it out thoroughly first. When i do move, it's slow and always behind or near cover. There are no surprises.

Cleared FN multiple times yesterday, didn't even get hit once, let alone die. All POI's are now laughably easy at night. Just don't run around making a lot of noise. That's what they react to.

Haven't lost a kit in weeks (aside from tossing guns at 70% durability), and I'm now over 900k bank and a full stash.

If the game is hard it's because you are taking it too easy. Slow way down.
Came back after not playing since a month after release.....
First 2 runs, killed by AI with 1 shot to the chest or arm. delete game. The AI wasn't even this OP when the game first released. now coming back i get 1 shot twice in a row and neither are even headshots? Bad game is bad. This is amateur hour.
dont worry man. player drop to 300 soon and you dont need wait heli so long

I don't know how you play, but I see a lot of people running through the map and die. If that's your play style, then there is your problem. This is a more of a slow and calculated and clear type movement. Seeing enemy, well you have to slow down listen and get some decent scopes. You will learn enemy patterns upon going into areas often enough, so you know what to expect next time.

My advice is to try to make some friends and play with people that can help you out. Listing your faction and what region you play in would really help with that. I have no problem helping others out that are looking for people to play with. Pickup weapons and sell them and use the money to re-equip. There is a point in this game where most of us do that to get our money up to resupply. Missions used to pay more, but they cut those back. Try to use weapons that you can get ammo off of dead bodies, instead of buying it. Ammo should be free at least starting out. Its one of your biggest expenses otherwise.

I've brought this up previously, something I don't often see mentioned is how big of a role sound plays into detecting AI. If you use headphones or speakers with good imaging you can often times pinpoint an enemy before you even see them (they talk ALOT), or quickly pick up their location as they fire their first shots at you. This can help you plan moving between hard cover, or in the worst case scenario where to sprint to safety.

The imaging quality of the headphones you use will make a big difference here. https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tests/sound-quality/imaging Soundstage also should play a much bigger role, but it seems gunshot distance audio mixing isn't really the greatest right now. https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tests/sound-quality/passive-soundstage
Hi all
Thanks for all your feedback, much appreciated.
My play style is very much cautious and tactical but still getting nailed. I'm not a run and gun type of player. I guess this is majority of my frustration. I seem to be playing the right way but not getting it right. I guess I'll adjust my play style and keep trying. Last encounter I was creeping my way down past some buildings, checking everywhere (or so I thought), Heard the usual voice when you get detected and turned to find cover until I could see them but got nailed by AI behind me. Frustrating when you think youve covered everything.
Re sound I'm using Steelseries Arctis 9 headset so should be good for sound perception. I find that the AI is silent until I'm detected then all hell breaks loose. The worst is I can hear then and have solid cover then still get one shot from cover. Anyone else finding this? Also If I sneak about and try and get visual on the AI I just can't see them, yet they can see me even through bush and cover.
I've been switching between single and auto fire, great when I can see an AI before they see me and have time to aim at head etc. Issue then becomes if I get spotted, I cant switch quick enough to be able to sling enough lead down stream before I'm in a coma.
Anyway I'll try again. Fingers crossed I can do a bit better and level up some traders to get better gear.

Thanks again everyone for comments

You also have to play the game with some confidence. It sounds dumb, but go in confident next time, that you will do better and clear the area. You can camp and hide too much also, which is playing scared. Most of the time you are better off dictating the fight and not letting them dictate it to you, because they already know where you are. Try making sure you are in hard cover and use the peek functions in the game to expose less of yourself. If they shoot at you through a bush reposition and come from another angle, try and crouch walk through areas you feel or know will be hostile. You have to put the hours in and things will get better as you gain experience.
Thanks Critical.
Just done a few hours and managed to clear 5 missions for vendors. Changed tactic re not relying on bushes, crouch walk more rather than just walk, and stick to buildings and hard cover. Also if I hear I have been detected and cant see them retreat and relocate to try and seek them out rather than wait for them to reveal themselves.
Still been killed but only twice.
Now, having issue with microphone not working even though all settings in PC correct and microphone working in other apps. Been googling like crazy but no success. I'll raise another discussion for that.
Cant seem to use the quote feature but I got two points

First is the mic trouble. I ran into the same issue, works fine in (most) other games, but never here. I tested it with a crappy USB mic, and it worked.
From a suggestion on Reddit, not even about GZW, I downloaded Voicemeeter Banana, and ran my mic through one of their inputs. It works flawlessly, with no noticeable quality drop at all. Just a TINY delay that can be fixed with other guides, changing buffers and such. but it is not enough to bother me.

Second point is getting shot in the back. I tend to pick a side of the street, and clear the yards and buildings roughly, so I always have a place to fall back too if the next yard has more enemies. Takes more time, but I never die to getting shot in the back anymore.
Just good practice, you see more rare loot items this way too.
I magically got shot in the neck after slaughtering many in town. The game is hilarious. The easiest way to cheese the game is to take tons of nades and toss them in wide open areas. AI will run there to investigate. Easy trap.
