just play all your matches only with pistol and dont buy anything...maybe only armor.
but the end results of all your matches will be same as like you would buy and tryhard with other weapons and with armor and stuff...
nothing changes really much on your overall performance and your stats.
you can easy play and go only pistol without anything more and the overall results and your performance will be same and same.
round for round and match for match...
this how you can check for yourself if something wrong with your online gaming experience.
i myself tried this method already in valorant and csgo...
or another method...
you can play full drunk or high and the results will be still same.
not recommend to do this but its an method to check your own sanity and if you really experience some unfair disadvantage in your online performance and issues and problems....
