130h+, I haven't use more than 2 purple shields

I suck at this game, everyone seems to talk about 0 to hero runs, and crazy loot they found on perimeter that had golden shields and what not.

But after more than 130h I haven't even beaten a single warden. I haven't entered a locked room, I haven't even found a key for any of them. I can barely find blue shields let alone purple. People talk about entering and looting pinwheel like it's the easiest thing in the world, but I've only managed to do it a few times.

I'm at a point where doing missions solo is too hard, but most randoms I play with do not turn on their mic, and insist on killing every AI we come across.

And I am obsessed with this game. I watch tutorials and guides all the time, I can get some kills, I'm confident running around the map, my decision making is ever improving, but idk man...

It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using a freekit, or my favorite purple weapons with everything at my disposal, I can't seem to be able to take a bit more risk and win.

Anyway, I know some days are just like that, and I do take breaks when that happens, but this has been happening for days. I feel defeated 😔

Any tips or words of encouragement for a fellow "skill-gapped" runner like me?
