At what level can you last longer than 1 to 3 hits?

My level is now 63 and the highest damage I've done in a fight is 150 although a majority it is in the 30s by the time I die, it is noticeably higher than when I first started because depending on the gun thr damage was 4 to 6 or so when I first started and then went up to 9 to 14, and is now much higher.

However, my defense is still the same.  I still die at one hit, I think 3 hits is the longest I can survive and that's with the purple armor I think, but I always die instantly with white or blue armor and it's getting frustrating. This is actually the same issue I posted about on here before, but I thought it would take care of itself when my skills got better and I grinded up to a higher level.

At what level do you start lasting longer like the other players?  I can empty a whole clip into people and they can survive it, most do not even bother taking cover and walk toward you while shooting.  

I thought as I went up in level my defense would increase on a scale equal to my attack.  Some have tried to tell me level has nothing to do with it, but it must because higher level players and take much more damage and deal much more damage using the same equipment.   

My aim is now real good and I can one clip the dummies in the firing range even on the full combat mode, so my question is how much longer will it be before I can last through a whole gunfight without dying?  I don't understand why it doesn't break my shields first before taking health like it does for other players.

I'm on Nintendo Switch Lite and am using the gyroscope, so the game is tough considering all the flaws that has, so I try to avoid gunfights and camp in buildings as I said in other posts I made.

Idk, I'm just frustrated because I thought I could get better at this game with practice, it just seems like I've gone as far as I can go, I wish I knew a target level to shoot for so I can have a grinding goal in mind.   It's frustrating when players whose skills are not as good as mine are beating me with one hit, it takes the fun out of the game.

    You are correct,  the switch is the problem.   I'm investing in a better system next payday.  I see those people on YouTube playing it on switch, but now that I think about it, I notice while providing video content, they never actually win anything or even make any kills, some rack up damage, but it is their teammates (that they know in real life, not randoms) doing most of the work and their squad loses in the end anyway.   The gyroscope is supposed to get rid of recoil, but perfect aim is no good if you cannot even see your opponent because of the 20 fps, or have the other problems also mentioned here.

    El7, thanks for the advice and the video link.  This makes sense because a moving target is harder to hit, even in the firing range you have to try a lot harder to hit the dummies when they are moving back and forth than when they are still.  Even if you die in 1 to 3 hits, you won't get hit at all if you can move fast enough.  I mean, it still isn't as fair as thr other players who can take a whole clip and not die, but it is a good technique for people who want to play the legit way.  I can see this technique taking a lot of time to master, but I can see it being possible if you can make it part of your reflexes and do it without thinking about it.

    @AymCTL Strafing doesn’t work on console, including switch. Strafing is a PC specific techniques including lurching.

    Smurfing is players that are a low level on one account but already have a main account that they have thousands of kills.

    @Kyldenar Thank you for clearing that up. I’m level 489 and still going against masters and preds and people with 10k+ kills in all modes and I’m a hard stuck silver because I hardly play ranked. It’s frustrating to say the least.

    @4847606 You can strafe on any platform. All normal strafing is is moving side to side. MNK players and people that use steam cfgs on controller on PC can tap strafe and do other movements console players cannot.

    @hayhor Ok. I never really realized that was strafing. I always thought it was changing direction drastically in midair like the MNK players do

    @Kyldenar your system has one exception: Splitgate. The devs actually care about the general health of the community and the game. There is matchmaking.

    EA is literally getting outclassed by a couple of college graduates that made a game that was supposed to combine Portal and FPS games. The game isn’t dead, they are still fixing the bugs when they pop up while working on a second game which they believe give their community what the players deserve.

    @Kyldenar "Level is only an indication of how much time and self loathing you have invested in the game."
    - addiction much yourself? Self loathing how? Because you didn't succeed and everyone shares this experience iyo? Move on bro, jeesh. No need to try and bring everyone down constantly. Let it go.

    "You are dying all the time because the matchmaking is designed to feed you (a Type 4 or 5, to be determined) to the Type 1 and 2 players. The game is not the product. You are."
    - hang on, I thought sbmm was there to prevent this? So either sbmm works or it does not. Last time I checked it worked by protecting current Rookie players from Preds, like you want. So which is it? You can't have both. If the game was designed to feed bad players to good players we would not see high level players complain about the MM being constant sweat. This is common sense so please stop with the copy pasta reply to these posts. It's incorrect and made up.

    "Also, you're trying to play it on a freaking Nintendo Switch, against people using PS4/5, XBox One, PC, etc. That's like trying to get into competitive League of Legends on a PC from 2007. Literally 80% of the posts I have seen from you here is how entire parts of the game just don't work for you on the switch. Do you really hate yourself that much to keep doing this?"
    - agreed, delete game from Switch and install on a proper platform. This is not hard, game sucks on Switch end/

    @AymCTL Level does not affect performance at all, what would be the point in a pvp game if it did? Highest level would just then win every time...and people would farm levels. You don't believe? Farm levels then and see.

    You get killed in seemingly few bullets because that is what you see on your side. On the other player's side it's a different story. You have high ping? That's bound to happen because you have a delay in feedback, same if you play on something that struggles to handle the game like Switch or playing over WiFi.
