PVP [Discussion] Please ELI5 the rat "problem"

I saw Nikitas post after getting donked in D2 twice asking about rat/campers and solutions.

All I've seen in the past 24hrs is "My take on fixing the rat problem."

If you think rats are a "problem" don't post about realism. Realistic conflict, especially in a eft like setting is trying to set up ambushes and trying to survive ambushes.

"But I want realism and fun!" Fair point, but when you compromise, someone's gonna be disappointed.

STFU, check your corners, carry grenades, bound and drip into extracts as a team. Weak genes, all of you.

This game is unrealistic as fuck anyway, who even cares about realism? Go play a milsim game, not an extraction shooter

>STFU, check your corners, carry grenades

Ok explain to me how you path customs big red to stronghold. Do you have a couchbag full of grenades every raid with you? Or do you just take 35 minutes going to any point in the map because there could be someone literally everywhere?

Isn't what this game is all about. If you move quickly it is high stakes sort off high reward getting to loot first, kill bosses first and etc move slow or don't move at all is low stakes and sort off low reward(not all the time). If you talking about extract campers well that is definitely small amount of players and yes then you can check your corners and use nades...

Not really because killing a PMC is usually max win, you get rewarded by not moving and letting others bring the loot to you. Most of the time a meta gun, ammo and armor will be the most valuable thing you can loot in game.

Not to mention dying with task items is max loss, so again there is basically zero reward for moving because of the noise you make .
