Why your first raid should not be the warmup
Most players boot the game, slap on a kit, and die to the first clean peeker. Hands are cold, audio is not dialed, and map timing feels off. Treat warmup as part of the session, not optional fluff.
Offline practice, shooting range habits, and a couple of low-stakes Scav runs exist so your expensive PMC kit is not the experiment.
A simple 15-minute routine that scales
Minutes 1–5: tracking and short bursts on a range or offline bots. Minutes 6–10: peek practice on common angles — jiggle, counter-strafe, pre-aim head height. Minutes 11–15: one focused Scav or offline fight block where you only work one habit, like holding an extract or clearing a room.
Keep the routine identical for a week so improvements are measurable. Rotate maps later — Customs one day, Woods the next — after the habit sticks.
What to do right before you ready up
Check stash meds and ammo, confirm your map extracts, and skim cheat status if you use overlays after a patch. Pair warmup with settings and weapon tiers so you are not reinventing the kit every night.
If the first two PMC deaths feel mechanical, stop stacking kits and repeat five minutes of peek practice. Ego queueing while tilted is not a strategy.
