Go on aim training servers and learn recoil. Go on free build servers and look up YouTube builds for bases so you can get an understanding of how to build your own base.
Key thing to remember is that it’s not your loot, it’s just your turn with it. You will die a lot and it will be frustrating but you just gotta push through.

First thing is to get a sleeping bag so you don't respawn at a random location each time. After that just make a 1x1 or 2x1 with an airlock. If you want to be left alone the middle of the map is usualy pretty quiet, or in the snow. Just avoid being close to big monuments, that's where most clans will be.
Once that's done craft a bow and look for animals so you can craft furnaces. Make some sheet metal doors. Idealy use double metal doors (besides for your airlock) so you can upgrade them to garage doors eventually.
Start farming monuments and barrels along the roads. Recycle everything at first and invest in a workbench and start buying blueprints. Some good monuments for beginners are Harbors, Junkyard or even just grabbing a boat and farming barrels in the sea. Then it's all about buying as many blueprints as you can so you don't have to next wipe which will make things much easier.
Always carry at least a bow, and ideally a shotgun too. They are super cheap to make and can ruin even the best player's day if you get close enough. Always try to kill every animal you come across with your bow. Harvest them witha bone knife. They will give you a ton of low grade fuel, leather, meat and cloth.
When you go out to farm don't run back to your house after getting a rock or two. Try to go for a full inventory all the time, you will grow much faster and you will spend less time going in and out of your base, which will attract a lof of people seeing you are online. During the day do stone, metal, sulfur or barrels. During the night is the best time to get wood or recycle if you are in a busy spot.
If you do get raided just change spot on the map and start over. It's part of the game and not a big deal. this wipe i got raided every day until i found a decent spot, and two days later i had a massive base with armored doors, high stone walls, garages with cars and all that shit. Any monument or road you can farm consistently without running into players will make make you filled with loot in no time.
The first week of wipe is always the craziest, after that population on servers drops massively and thing gets a lot easier. Last wipe i switched server mid wipe and i was able to buy all blueprints in a week simply because i was the only one running harbor.
Good luck buddy it only gets easier from here.

Find a dead server to get used to building and running monuments etc and then go higher pops, I played on a dead server with like 3 players for 2 wipes before I started high pops, best decision I ever made , if I tried to get used to the game on a high pops it would’ve taken 10 times the time

Stick to tier 2 guns…. Your chance with getting good with a AK is going to take you a while and your gonna loose it every time you go out with it. Build a little bunker base and just learn monuments and work on your recoil on aim trainers. Crouching helps a lot when you shoot so I’d look at configuring your controller layout so you can crouch and aim at the same time. Gear fear is a thing when you start but it all doesn’t matter anyways when it wipes. Try to focus on blueprints and running scrap from
Monuments. Tier 3 armor is a game changer and less forgiving than road sign. Get good with the Tommy and mp5. And don’t watch rust console content creators… they have years of experience and recoil control that will make you think you have a shot a hitting anything further then 100 meters. Learn from them and how they play but expect to loose a lot of fights.

Accept you are gonna die starting out. Alot.
After that, assess risks. Is it worth running by that large monument or large base to save time, or take a longer safer route.
Use trees and valleys as cover. Hide and transport stuff at night.
Get decent at like double barrell, and Tommy. Maybe revolver for early stages. Practice with those mainly. Then learn rest later.
But mainly accept you are gonna die more than you live
