How to become an actually good fighter in PVP?

Practice makes perfect

#

For ground combat, do expeditions against Syndicate, Rogue Silicon, or Mercenaries

#

For space combat, go drone hunting with a combat ship or be a shitter and go pirating

#

But remember the mantra

#

Never turn a fleet victory into a boarding defeat

#

Get used to navigating your menu for ammo, meds, and tools

most of combat is being in the favourable position

#

just make sure you have space to move and that you arnt overextending into enemy sightlines

Repetition is key as well

Medication

Gear

#

Location

#

But it’s not needed

#

You can still win with a longarm and a dream

what people said about practice is important, but setup is also key if you want a true advantage. Observe what other people do for loadouts, but here are a few basic tips:

grenades can turn the tide of any ground combat battle if used right
If you expect to fight head on then use autoinjectors. puncturase and saline injectors are the best in most combat situations
heavy weapon cases can be used as a portable panic room if your ship is being glassed. You can survive almost anything in them, except for ultra-high speed collisions or other item-deleting blows.
I can't give much advice on ship combat, but you can practice on drones using the sellsword if you want a starting point

#

also hiding in lockers or crates to jump at people is a dirty but effective tactic for defense, best paired with landmines, shotgun traps, burn traps (welding fuel puddle with igniter and pressure plate), blast doors to prevent retreat, and turret spam.

Become a pirate and keep being a pirate even after you die so many times

#

Eventually you’ll learn how to 1: do ground combat and 2: do ship combat

# winter epoch Tell me more about the burn traps? I'm interested

Some chemicals can be ignited when they are puddles, including welding fuel as the easiest option. They can make a ship inhabitable to those without hard suits quickly. Igniters can be linked with a multitool and the igniter can be placed anywhere on the puddle to ignite the whole thing. Pressure plates are craftable and link able, but doors can be linked too. The only issue with puddle traps is they need proper atmos to burn. Regular air works. Using signal valves you can make plasma or trit traps, capable of ashing anyone in almost any clothing, but that requires some more advanced setup.
