  1. I just completed a bunch of quests in a row so now I went from having basically no armor laying around except some level 6 I didn't wanna throw on random shit to having most of my stash filled with armored rigs. The worst thing I cant even use them for that stupid punisher quest cause of the scav vest. I usually try and bring whatever I got lying around now except for like specific guns I know I'll need later until I like reach 100k or so then I scav back up.

  2. The way you described solo anxiety is so spot on for me. I usually log on and just sit in my stash or do scavruns when my duo buddy isnt on because im so scared of going solo. Gotta get out of my comfort zone alot more in this game i know im a decent shot and I have good situational awereness and stuff. Something about solo play just turns me into a rat lol

  3. How am i supposed to stop a gear fear while dying from a Punisher 6 SNB sniper on most of maps or cheaters while being horrible at pvp, i really like tarkov but i cant pvp and im loosing gear worth a fck ton for me. Thats why i play scav a lot 🙂

  4. i have gear fear now because i dont have time to grind so can only use good ammo when i get it off someone else. so if i get a thermal or something thatll be the last time i get to use one until i find one on someone else. i wish everything was back on the flea.

  5. CLICKBAIT BS TITLE WITH SOME MORE GASLIGHTING HUH? Yea GO AHEAD AND get over gear fear if u wanna run through 50mil in 4 days. Tell me did you lose your gear fear after getting consistently killed every 2-3 raids by head-eyes cheating scav players and all-knowing uberchads. I'm sorry but there is no personal growth curve that can outmaneuver cheats- maybe impact nades sometimes tho. Get. Fucking. Real. Nikita and co is making bank on bans. As much as i sometimes enjoy tarkov, i think the creators are running an elaborate scam, making gains from the cheating scene and the reselling of accounts. Also take note how the cheaters and the braindead white knights go to town on this reply section. Fucking posers

  6. As a new player who started mid-wipe, I've accumulated gear but have rarely used it because I run into another player once every 5-10 raids so I barely get practice. As a result I've developed massive gear fear and really struggle dealing with it. I've tried to use cheaper load outs and look for fights to gain confidence in taking fights but I'm barely getting the chance because they have Altyns and use stuff like M61 or M995 ammo which kills me before I get the chance to try anything. I'm down to less than a million rubles after losing 200k sets over and over again.Now I'm staring at my stash unsure what to do.
    I want to get better, but I feel like coming into this wipe halfway through is like jumping into the deep end of a pool when you don't know how to swim

  7. Well luckily, eventually, we will not have wipes. Although I don't have gear fear, I do get tired of starting over. Not because of gear, but because of in game skills. It's never fun finally getting Elite skills a day before wipe.

  8. To me the anxiety is there like a horror game. In terrified of the unknown. The feeling of being alone though you know you're not. As soon as I have a buddy, I'm fine. It's really annoying because all my buds quit playing and I'm over here running scavs and sweating to drop in solo. But man… the shakes are real during a firefight and I'm trying to overcome it but I feel I'm only damaging my own anxiety attempting it. I'm even on pills for this shit lolol. Like wtf is my deal. I can't play horror games for the life of me.

  9. I'm rather confident a lot of "gear" fear is just plain old fear. Tarkov is a spooky game, there is a lot to know, and watching twitch or youtube it's really hard to grasp how oppressive tarkov is. Especially if your not in the mood as it can be when you want to get better at this game. For me if I find my self over analyzing I just W key in a few raids and turn off the front of my brain. Tarkov is like a pool at 62 degrees, it's pretty chilly until you get used to it.
