because they aren't even giving players loot for this.
Watching people piss and shit themselves over it has been a real
blast.
They end up with tokens they can turn in for stuff, that will almost certainly be the kind of blue-tier stuff that will feel okay to neat depending on how new they are, but that kind of gear won't help the newbs survive longer against purple and gold-geared sweats in pvp.
You could hand them gold-tier loot and they'd still get rolled. Once the bubble grenades and Mizzys start flying, it's a different level of sweat.
If you could walk out of 'Shitter's Cryo' with the loot then sweats would be full gold tier gear every match you ever saw them in. The game would be absolutely fucked.
a bit of a rant here, but...
This game isn't built for people who refuse to learn from mistakes. You don't really start having fun until you accept your own shortcomings, and most people don't want that kind of accountability in a video game. The new Cryo will help the minority of players who do want to get better, that's what it's for.
Honestly, this game... It's not that complicated. Pay attention to your spawn, remember it, prioritize killing over looting and doing PvE, and stick together.
That's basically it. Map knowledge, builds, stats, and loot all come naturally after that. They really aren't even all that important comparatively.
Unlike Tarkov, you don't lose fights because you brought the wrong ammo, the wrong optic, or the wrong meds. There are no gun jams, no hidden pit traps, and very little RNG.
Just show up, play with the right mindset, and you'll keep progressing whether you die or exfil.
