Don't the experience you gain by starting early is invaluable started my friend a month before the last wipe ended and he's already better the rest of the timmies at his experience level he's killed more carries then i have and it's always with some goof ahh 9mm carbine with a ridiculous power scope and it's because he put time in to familiarize himself with the game before he put in a full effort when all the chads are speedrunning and are just gonna hit you and run through you like an 18 wheeler
I started playing about 1 1/2 month ago and I've loved it. Was difficult and scary my first 50 raids but being level 28 now, I feel super confident going into next wipe. Definitely enjoy this game more than most though lol.
