How do YOU find PVP?

I’m still fairly new to the game, 350 hours and still a lot to learn. I like to think I’ve mastered the surviving aspect and zombies are not a threat. I’m friendly when I can be but I wanna start getting into more PVP, so how do you find it? Normally if I hear shots in the distance I will move towards them, but I’ve learnt I’m a horrible tracker. Unless they shoot a couple times over a few minutes a lot of the time I can’t find them.

What do you do? Do you track survivors better than me? Do you wait in a high traffic town for people to come through? If so, how long are you normally willing to wait? My best luck has been camping at NWAF but that just doesn’t feel good, and I’m not gonna hunt freshies on the coast either. I’m also sick of being shot out of nowhere, just a random headshot where I don’t hear the bullet so any tips and tricks people have for this aspect of the game would be greatly appreciated.

For reference, I play on PS5. Almost strictly official, 1pp and highly populated servers. Currently 1pp LA server 038 or something
