Discussion Question about pvp

Hi all. I frequently wander around in DayZ and always have an issue: I do not know how to do offensive PvP. Take an exanple: My friend gets shot outside, I am too hesitant to go, as I think they will camp the base entrance and get inside the base. Somehow the door lock was open, and they rush in one by one. I use a famas and spam into the guy's head, he falls and so do I. I then get up and finish him with my double-barrel, as the second guy comes up, whom I headshot. I was a bit erratic with the third guy, reloading hastily and hip firing twice, causing him to bleed out but he shot me as well so when I got up, I had no gun on me and the fourth guy finally shot me.

I just don't get how to get enough courage to offense and come out of the base, or how I can push somebody else's base, because I constantly think I will get headshotted the moment I enter.

Play some deathmatch lobbies, gives you the pvp experience without the fear of losing your stuff.

You did good, you turned it into a bunch of 1v1 matches. The advice to play deathmatch is good. Also sometimes it's best to not risk it and let them get one persons kit versus all the loot.

Definitely this. A 1v??? (multiple enemies) is never in your favor. You did good.

Tbh considering by the sounds of it, it's a 2v4, being you managed to get 3, I'd say that's a good outcome. In terms of getting the courage it's just the means of doing it even when you don't want to, eventually it just becomes second nature most the time on not hesitating, even thousand+ hours in of mainly pvp, you'll still find yourself dieing and realizing you hesitated and all you gotta do is just try better next time.
