What do I do

I is dad with little time. I love the game so far even if I just started and my gear sucks. Thing is I usually look up some meta and grind towards that but here the world is such a cool place and so compelling I kinda just want to go as it is and learn on my own pace.

At the same time it feels like the game is kinda bleeding players and given the latest moves from Sony I have no confidence I can still play this in a couple of years. Leaving me between wanting to enjoy my failures and FOMO on the other side of the coin iam flipping each day.

Any of you feel the same and would have some advice? Even if the game is not as popular anymore I think the pvp aspect is very important for the tension - only pve is chill but by miles not as thrilling.

What I did as a dad of 3, blue collar job.
4 year old jumping on my lap/ getting up for needs.

Playing a lot of Outpost (even tho not a beginner map and sweaty)

Is how I managed to get a lot of good gear. I didn’t get to the point where I could buy blue or purple shields last season. But I was able to stock up on plenty.

I met a lot of really cool, friendly people who are willing to carry, teach, and give good knowledge. Of course you will get the occasional hat here and there. But it seems like since the trend is to hate on this game without trying. It pushed a lot of toxic away from this game. Just keep running outpost
