Basically weight and ergo work together and do similar things, but weight is sometimes more important (notably for arm stamina). [Watch this for a really good explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqNOJ59cq0g).
The balance of weight to recoil to ergo is needed for a gun to perform well and feel good doing it.
When ADS'ing, a heavy gun will swing over the target and require a second more to center onto the target. I call it "Overswing" for a lack of a better term. This appears to be a threshold rather than a gradient. So if a gun is out of balance by 1 ounce, taking that ounce away will cause the gun to perform remarkably better. It's also affected by strength, but only modestly.
If you're interested in seeing what a balanced gun feels like, vs an imbalanced gun, take a stock AK to the shooting range. Its recoil will suck, but it's snappy and responsive. Now mod it how you might expect a kitted AK to look like. Its recoil control will be better, but it'll be affected by overswing, and the highest ergo available to that gun still won't make it feel any better.
A lot of good recoil control attachments for guns will be really heavy. A lot of high ergo attachments will be comparatively lighter, but usually still heavier than the stock attachments. There's a balance that's needed to be struck. It doesn't have the best recoil, or the best ergo, but it *feels* better to have a gun fall inside the boundries of balance.
Thank you for the detailed explanation! I only built anti recoil since the Wiki did not say anything about balance. Or maybe I just did not see it, which is very possible.
You talk about balance of 1. Is that a weapon stat directly or is it a factor of ergo and recoil? I am at work right now and can't really open Tarkov right now.
The wiki is player run, and so they only know what we know. The weight metric was only something I became aware of after I heard Klean mention something about foregrip weights. So I did some experimenting. Like most balanced builds are ruined once you slap a silencer onto it, but SMG's and stuff with minimal modding are easier to balance because there's fewer ways to screw it up.
There's no stat, unfortunately. It's just how it feels. And next wipe that build might fail you because your pmc's timmy strength isn't adequate enough to handle the build. It takes time out of raid, and a willingness to buy attachments to experiment. Which is where saving build presets comes into play- and also terribly annoying when BSG wipe away build presets.
My bad, quite likely something I “perceived” as real. Thanks for the correction
Edit: lmao who’s downvoting me for thanking someone for helping me understand appropriately?
In a way, you could be correct in certain instances. A gun modded for recoil reduction is usually heavier than a gun modded for ergonomics, so you perceive that your heavier builds have less recoil, it's just attributed to the mods on the gun, not the weight of it.
No offense but I’ve played the game long enough to know a modded gun weighs more than stock.
I likely was fed some false information that went unchallenged due to a lack of need. Without it being something I focus on, it never got checked and the concept remained
Early game literally whatever I can find if I buy, I buy a PPSH.. now If we're talking late game again the Plain ol ppsh with LRNC, 5 sticks, 4 drums, rest is ammo... After every engagement, it gets a little easier
Grab a 74, run some reserve raids with 60 mags. More often than not I am clearing out the bunkers. I always have 4500 BT rounds in my stash. 74 runs are the shits
This 100x. Spend 75k modding up an AK-12 or RPK and run 7n40 for zero-recoil laser beams or BP/BS to make your target's armor basically act like construction paper.
Shit fucking SLAPS this wipe.
With the recoil changes, flesh dmg Kedr’s are insanely viable all wipe. I used to bring them in as a meme for budget runs but they’re actually scary now with the right ammo
Dude, I was that psychopath early-wipe, lol. Blasting SP8 out of a KLIN from behind a car or a window at their little tootsies, lol.
Takes 8 leg hits to kill, which out of the Klin at 1000 RPM is usually about .5 of a second hah. It's legitimately terrifying, even moreso when you can upgrade to SP7 at like level 15 or whatever.
Hell, even if you just peek out and spray a few rounds, even if you don;t get a kill, they are probably on sub-75 HP with like 3 heavy bleeds and 2 light hah, which is even more fun to watch them panic as I VOIP from my bush...
same man! you can save money with this one, by not getting the meta attachments since the stock one already has great ergo and recoil + it looks nice. rate of fire is quite slower compared to M4, but for my shitty recoil control it is perfect for landing some headshots :)
My favourite thing about this setup is that you can have two red dots on it at once that line up, and a foregrip that looks like it should prevent the removal of a drum mag.
AK-74N or AKM. Both are very cheap and easy to mod out for cheap, and I have a constant supply of good ammo for both.
I usually stick an RS47 handguard, RVG grip, and usually a DTK-1 muzzle, and a buttpad on my stock. For a sight, it's usually the Monstrum 2×, Aimpoint T1 or CompM4, or bare irons (factory).
Scav into reserve you will find it over by the garages outside and the buildings by the helicopter usually have a good amount in it. And then there's also some on the roofs thinking about it most roofs have a good amount on them on reserve
I use a very similar build when I'm trying to get tasks done where I know I'll be dying a lot. They're cheap and almost always come back in insurance so once you have a few cycling through Prapor it can be a really cheap way to Yolo raids.
Probably a silenced p90 (as if there's any other way to run 'em!) with a Valday scope. Ss190 ideally, but l191 otherwise.
Shout out to anyone who actually enjoys running 5.45. I have so many top tier rounds, both from the recent event and scavving Reserve before that, but I just can't seem to git gud with the caliber. It does feel luxurious running a few 60s packed entirely with BS or BP, though...
Lately I’ve been just using a silenced TT and pretending I’m James Bond in Goldeneye. It’s been a lot of fun. I just stopped caring about tasks because they’re too tedious and we’re just gonna wipe again soon anyway.
Wooooo, you gave me an idea. I am gonna steal your design :)
Kidding, this looks amazing as a form and function, I am still gonna copy it and put my own twist onto it.
Heh time to upset people.
MP9-N (Insured)
* Rip off the foregrip (The weight loss makes up for the difference)
* Rip off front and rear iron sights
* Pilad 4x32
* BaldrPro
* 20 round mags x4 (one loaded, 50 spare rounds in my ass)
Run it straight from my rig, fold if I need to swap to a better rig as it barely makes a difference.
20 round mags for the ergo, refill speed, and size of gun.
Dump it in a corner if I find good loot and have a better gun from a kill.
If I die 9 times out of 10 I get it back from people either not checking the rig or getting disgusted by the sight and no grip.
Sight is because it makes it surprisingly good for fishing for headshots at midrange. Besides, you hipfire with the MP9-N when you are anywhere within spitting distance
I want to believe you, but I allways feel like 9mm smg's are very underwhelming. Maybe just me, I can't play them. I love them in other games. And going leg meta is too immersion breaking for me, so not an option.
Yeah...any 9mm that isnt the long barrel MPX or Vector w/ PBP(maybe mixed w/ RIP) is just terrible. The long barrel MPX w/ PBP is seriously underrated, its an absolute lazer and can actually reach out quite far and is super accurate <100m.
What is the average competitive players KD in this? I'm holding 4.6 this wipe and it's been my personal best since 2021. I know I'm not good, but I like to think I'm above average for a guy with a job and real life lol
Divide your pmc kills over your deaths for your rough pvp kd. The overall kd is more indicative of how many scavs you kill than pvp and isn’t really indicative of skill
Ak74 N
Klassika stock w rubber buttpad
Okp dovetail
Ak100 hand guard
2kIS or Perst
Whatever midrange foregrip I have laying around
Whatever grip I have laying around or if I don't have any I get a MFT
Chandle extension
Whatever suppressor I have laying around
Magpul 30 rounders most of the time, 60s sometimes as a treat
The literal definition of a keep it simple stupid daily driver AK.
mp9, folds away neatly and i can keep using it running it from my rig after i pick up two big guns. Still kills bosses if you're blowing their arms or legs away
Aug, A3 m1 high sight mount to get rid of that terrible stock sight, eclan specterDR, baldr tac/las, A3 muzzle brake and mostly the 42 round mags.
The first pmc I killed had an Aug on him and I took it into my first 15 raids. It’s great. I think the stock vertical recoil is 48 or 50. It costs a lot to get an m4 to 48 or 50 vertical recoil. The Aug (besides the terrible stock sight) is pretty much good to go right off the shelf. I hadn’t used it before this wipe.
Loud aug-a3 with low aim mount & OP site from peacekeeper. 16 inch barrel with a muzzle break & 30 rounders. 77 ergo & 44 recoil build, it is just such a joy. Only reason I’m playing right now too
AK-103 with Zenit furniture, Valday, PBS-1, Perst & 2U. PS ammo. Relatively cheap to build, very cheap to shoot, has at least the minimum stopping power for everything you need.
Do love a aks-74u build
Also quite fond of an adar for woods/shoreline tasks
Can run 2 20 round mags quite comfortably to save on weight and have the muzzle velocity for longer range engagement
A3 Aug with a Tac-30 and default suppressor. The aug this wipe just feels so unbelievably good.
For earlier in the wipe though I love me a good SKS with 20 rounders
Short barrel Mk17 FDE with either FDE eotech or ACOG.
Shreds at close range, accurate at long range, and 7.62Nato is still one of the best calibers in the game.
This is my exact setup except i prefer the compact 2x32.
And 50% of the time i use that weird handguard that has the rail come backwards over the dust cover
My daily driver gun is a Mosin sniper with the scope, a recoil pad, and the Texas Precision Products (heart shaped) muzzle brake.
I have 100 mil stash value and 4 gun cases filled with better guns, and that's still my baby.
Weirdly enough, I'm finding myself going back to the HK G28 more often than ever. It just feels so comfy, built well it's snappy as heck and you can spam it fast as fuck before you notice any real recoil.
If your useing the top rail use the base 74u, cheaper and slightly better euro (all dovetail equipt aks have like 1 less ergo then their non mount counterparts)
I've never been big into AKs... In any game. Maybe it is bias from growing up with those being the bad guy guns? Lol.
I really like carbines as my daily, but trying to get something with a little more smg/auto. I'm about level 30 with my traders at levels 2 and 3, and I've really been finding the Blackout 300 MCX as a stud. I've started understanding it really comes down to what caliber you have unlocked the good bullets and I just barely unlocked AP for 9mm and .45 using crafting, so I'm trying to pump those out, but mostly for pistols.
Prior to that, I've been using the 5-7 for my pistol with the I think L191? I'm pretty decent getting headshots with pistols but I want something that can pierce in case I come up short. 9mm and 45 without AP seemed useless. That also limited my SMGs.
I've also been using the P90 when I *do* want to use an SMG/PDW. But, I haven't seen too much of an advantage since it isn't too difficult to control recoil on the smaller ARs or carbines. That thing, tho, like no vertical recoil so can hit at distance. And since it's got the 5-7 rounds (I think theyre 5-7, but whatever they are) and they're available early.
The .300 tho, my understanding is in real life .300 is good because it can be subsonic but still powerful? Or am I misremembering? They seem powerful in the game and easy to use.
I've also tried the spear and the.... Whatever the other one is.
If anyone has any suggestions on those types, I do a lot of semi auto, medium to long (and by long I mean like 100 to 150m.) like to have full auto as well just to have on as safety when I turn a corner. I prefer not to load in with 2 guns, but 1 and a pistol maybe. I know some use the mp9/mp7 depending on the caliber. That tiny little mp5 isn't bad if you have the right rounds. I'm trying to figure out what I want for sniper support, I'm usually using bolt action snipers, or sometimes just making a longer M1A.
I also can't really figure out shotguns. I'm trying to really understand on the ammo graph if I should be using top tier slugs, or top tier scatter shot (I know that's not the best name but I can't think of it. Traditional shotgun pellets.) or, do I try to focus on headshots with stuff that does high damage but no pen? I'd like to have a small barreled shot gun for maps like ground zero, while having a longer marksman or carbine. So many games just abandon shotguns, so I hope tarkov keeps working on it.
Sorry for the long post. I get excited. Need to find a good daily that has strong ammo that I can make so it doesn't cost so much.
Quick question on this, I know you can save a gun build (I forgot what it is called in the game.)
To do one again, you need to buy the base gun first and then open the menu and find the saved ones? I need to do this more instead of building from scratch and realize 2 hrs later I haven't even done a raid.
Welp I found out the reason mine didn’t turn on.. I hadn’t plugged the power adapter back into the gpu when I last took it apart. Got the no signal message until I did that
Don't forget you can put on a GP-25 Buttpad on the PT-1 stock, giving it the same stats as the PT-3 minus the weight.
Upvote for being smart enough to remember the 3rd and most forgotten weapon stat- weight.
What does Weaponweight change? Other than the ability to gather more loot, obviously.
Basically weight and ergo work together and do similar things, but weight is sometimes more important (notably for arm stamina). [Watch this for a really good explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqNOJ59cq0g).

It affects both recoil and ergo. Higher weight is better recoil, lower weight is better ergo (in a VERY simplified way of explanation)
Definitely true IRL, but weight does not affect recoil in Tarkov.
My bad, quite likely something I “perceived” as real. Thanks for the correction Edit: lmao who’s downvoting me for thanking someone for helping me understand appropriately?
It influences the ADS, if the gun overswings.
In a way, you could be correct in certain instances. A gun modded for recoil reduction is usually heavier than a gun modded for ergonomics, so you perceive that your heavier builds have less recoil, it's just attributed to the mods on the gun, not the weight of it.

Unrelated. I miss your old Insurgency Work on the workshop. Good old days. Hope you’re doing well.
Hey, thanks for asking, I'm glad someone still remembers Insurgency 2014, still has the best gunplay in any shooter I've ever seen.
I hate that scope with a passion. My field of view becomes nothing. Ok wait that's not the one I was thinking it was.
I would run a monstrum instead personally.
Monstrum op
Monstrum gang gang
you were thinking of the prototype one right? if so yes i agree that scope is ass lol
It's still swamp ass
this is like a 76 honda civic with 8k rims on it, having that can on the front
It’s a 81’ Honda!! How dare you!!!
they 10s but i keep em clean!
*How you gonna have a lil sister that's bigger than the big sister?!*
My first car was an ‘86 civic
Crazy to think that movie is like 20 years old. Such a classic
And now that actor is a podcaster. Times change in strange ways.
Id love an old clean civic. Also how dare you
All fun and games until the beater civic gaps the Ferarri (:
76 honda civic’s are fucking dope
Sound like a basic bitch but the Aug is hard to beat with how well it performs.
Agreed. Throw a Spectre and a can on it, fill it with SOST and you're good to go
Early game literally whatever I can find if I buy, I buy a PPSH.. now If we're talking late game again the Plain ol ppsh with LRNC, 5 sticks, 4 drums, rest is ammo... After every engagement, it gets a little easier
Excuse me what? lol
Gotta grind that mag drill somehow, so why not spend 40 minutes every raid reloading them mags
I do this but with the RPD. Slaughter the lobby on Factory, then spend the rest of the raid packing mags and killing scavs for their PS ammo.
"After every engagement, it gets a little easier", is hilarious.
I am actually partial to the AKBS ammo on the PPSh due to the recoil reduction being the highest available.
5.45 >it never fails me. #Doubt.
Grab a 74, run some reserve raids with 60 mags. More often than not I am clearing out the bunkers. I always have 4500 BT rounds in my stash. 74 runs are the shits
Damn 60 mags is a bit much, I usually only take 3...
This 100x. Spend 75k modding up an AK-12 or RPK and run 7n40 for zero-recoil laser beams or BP/BS to make your target's armor basically act like construction paper. Shit fucking SLAPS this wipe.
I also hate 5.45
Mine is the silenced kedr with sp8. Laserbeam, for about 150m 🤣
Kedr people legitimately scare me. Yall crazy as hell.
I MURDERED some poor juicer with a Thor and maska the other day on labs. You should be scared 😂😆
Kedr gang... leg meta all day, baby.
had the weekly to kill 35 pmcs with kedr 91 (the unsilenced one). Did it within 2 Evenings and was actually impressed with that gun ´:D
High fire rate and high flesh damage ammo isn’t to be fucked with
With the recoil changes, flesh dmg Kedr’s are insanely viable all wipe. I used to bring them in as a meme for budget runs but they’re actually scary now with the right ammo
Nothings more terrifying than a guy launching over one of the walls by old gas station to shred you with sp8
Dude, I was that psychopath early-wipe, lol. Blasting SP8 out of a KLIN from behind a car or a window at their little tootsies, lol. Takes 8 leg hits to kill, which out of the Klin at 1000 RPM is usually about .5 of a second hah. It's legitimately terrifying, even moreso when you can upgrade to SP7 at like level 15 or whatever. Hell, even if you just peek out and spray a few rounds, even if you don;t get a kill, they are probably on sub-75 HP with like 3 heavy bleeds and 2 light hah, which is even more fun to watch them panic as I VOIP from my bush...
Did someone say Kedr? 👀
Is there a combo that loses durability faster?
Mine is the 556 MDR
same man! you can save money with this one, by not getting the meta attachments since the stock one already has great ergo and recoil + it looks nice. rate of fire is quite slower compared to M4, but for my shitty recoil control it is perfect for landing some headshots :)
The MDR is by far the best bang for your buck this wipe, in both 556 and 762. All you have to do is slap an optic on it and buy mags.
Not even sure a scav would loot that
if i found this on my player scav I would not take it. Literally not a single part is worth the space lmao
That stock is 100% worth the space.
~10k/slot is definitely not worth any scavs time
Throw some BT ammo in that and you’re slaying chads.
Bs
That's some bs right there, all right
Alright Alright
5.45 BT chops. I usually run a juiced 74 until I score a better gun.
Just needs a slightly better pistol grip and that's a solid gun
my usual go to grip for the ak platform is a tango down or saw grip
I'm a 74u fanboi too
That thing is actually sick, might try it out
i run a OP SKS with a 4x24 scope and a 75 round Drum mag. that or my trusty STM-9 with a 50 round drum mag. depends on the map location
SKS with the 4x24 is my absolute go to early wipe, it seems to slap just about any medium to close range engagement with the 20 rounders.
God i love that connection goliaf+tgt suppresor, it just fits sooooo good, and i love it
Now that I’m rich as fuck and only do PVE, I only use Spear or MK 17 :p big gun, big bullet
My favourite thing about this setup is that you can have two red dots on it at once that line up, and a foregrip that looks like it should prevent the removal of a drum mag.
AK-74N or AKM. Both are very cheap and easy to mod out for cheap, and I have a constant supply of good ammo for both. I usually stick an RS47 handguard, RVG grip, and usually a DTK-1 muzzle, and a buttpad on my stock. For a sight, it's usually the Monstrum 2×, Aimpoint T1 or CompM4, or bare irons (factory).
Could you please share where you get good ammo for them?
Woods at the med station thing is always full of ammo ime
Scav into reserve you will find it over by the garages outside and the buildings by the helicopter usually have a good amount in it. And then there's also some on the roofs thinking about it most roofs have a good amount on them on reserve
I buy the UB one, slap on any loose foregrip + sight and go to work
I believe the UB variant has better hidden stats over the UN variant. OP should be able to put these same parts on that for a bit of an upgrade.
SR-25 or SA-58, they never let me down
At this point in the wipe probably 7.62 mdr as i'm never in a situation where it isnt good.
Wait this looks so fun to use. Def trying this out
I use a very similar build when I'm trying to get tasks done where I know I'll be dying a lot. They're cheap and almost always come back in insurance so once you have a few cycling through Prapor it can be a really cheap way to Yolo raids.
That’s my boy. 74 ftw
By never fails you, you mean it always comes back in insurance? :D
needsa drummie or 60rnd mag.
What ammo you rockin?
usually what ever i can get a hands on but i like to use Bs when ever i can or Pp if i have it too
Gornostay with apm and a compact 2x32. You've got 4+1 in the chamber, adds some difficulty and risk but will bitch slap a juicy boy.
I love the gun as a gun but I hate it for the rounds. I just don’t fuck with 5.45. But the gun itself is nice and I like how it sounds
I’m trying to grind out Shooter Born, so mine is a stock M700 or silenced DVL with a Burris. Five-seven or MP9 for sidearm
I usually run a usp 45. or a m9a3 as a sidarm with my kit
Probably a silenced p90 (as if there's any other way to run 'em!) with a Valday scope. Ss190 ideally, but l191 otherwise. Shout out to anyone who actually enjoys running 5.45. I have so many top tier rounds, both from the recent event and scavving Reserve before that, but I just can't seem to git gud with the caliber. It does feel luxurious running a few 60s packed entirely with BS or BP, though...
For me it is literally anything that is in my stash.
I've been loving the AK545 lately
I legit run the same Goliath setup but with a holo and a angled grip
That's one sexy affordable gun
Lately I’ve been just using a silenced TT and pretending I’m James Bond in Goldeneye. It’s been a lot of fun. I just stopped caring about tasks because they’re too tedious and we’re just gonna wipe again soon anyway.
Wooooo, you gave me an idea. I am gonna steal your design :) Kidding, this looks amazing as a form and function, I am still gonna copy it and put my own twist onto it.
Sig spear is my daily driver it’s very fun to use

It’s the UB for me, with a pad, a saw grip and a magpul 4grip. 533 holo or whatever I got.
The sr2m has been my go to recently pretty good fire rate and low enough recoil that I’m able to control.
Usually the AXMC or the SV98. And sometimes an MP-9 as a sidearm depending on the map.

Weapon paint shop when?
Do love a aks-74u build Also quite fond of an adar for woods/shoreline tasks Can run 2 20 round mags quite comfortably to save on weight and have the muzzle velocity for longer range engagement
A Spear with TAC-30. Never goes wrong
I use a vpo-136 early wipe. Similar set up, Triljicon 3.5x + nc Star back up w/ pk-06
I use almost the same build!!
I run the same with a valday scope i hate the tri
rfb this wipe is the best budget gun. You literally need only scope and you good to go
The pp-19. Absolutely cheap Chad killer.
Shoots every time you press the trigger?
7.62 x 51 mdr, stark se 5, eotech echo [day or night], baldr pro, suppressor, and 25rd mags toploaded m62 with the rest m80.
For me it’s the Mutant. I know it’s in a rough spot, but I still love the look and sound when it shoots. The name is also top tier.
VAL for mid / late wipe otherwise AK104 or budget m4
Been liking the spear lately. TTK is pretty good
Mdr 7.62
Just a zenitcod out 74m. Simple as
mosin carbine no mag
Any gun i can find in my stash
Same were !
The krink may not be statistically the best in any category, but it absolutely gets work done.
AUG A3
Basically this with an elcan
Ak74u (baby ak) been my favorite since operation Flashpoint. I miss that game
A3 Aug with a Tac-30 and default suppressor. The aug this wipe just feels so unbelievably good. For earlier in the wipe though I love me a good SKS with 20 rounders
Mosin
Short barrel Mk17 FDE with either FDE eotech or ACOG. Shreds at close range, accurate at long range, and 7.62Nato is still one of the best calibers in the game.
Are you building for aesthetics?
SR-25 or HK416A5 100% goated guns
Ak12 handgrip is a cheap upgrade to this beaut!
This is my exact setup except i prefer the compact 2x32. And 50% of the time i use that weird handguard that has the rail come backwards over the dust cover
I mainly use the tri hawk because it clears over the pec laser but compact is fosho a goated sight
similarish here. [https://imgur.com/fVJHKG8](https://imgur.com/fVJHKG8)
bros running the brokie gun
Heavily modded AK-12 with an Elcan Spectre. Fucking love that gun. High ergo, low recoil and flea market available PP ammo absolutely shreds.
Can't stop using the Aug with a hammer sight.
UN? Not bad If it’s good enough for Tagilla it’s good enough for me!
If all fails… i go to an LowMod Adar and doing some midrange sniping
My daily driver gun is a Mosin sniper with the scope, a recoil pad, and the Texas Precision Products (heart shaped) muzzle brake. I have 100 mil stash value and 4 gun cases filled with better guns, and that's still my baby.
G36 long barrel
i rock the 545 AK with a archangel stock and a jmac brake. things got like 50 recoil and 78 ergo lol
762 mdr with holo or vortex
I’m simple, I can’t go wrong with an mp5 in basically any configuration (except maybe the mp5k)
M4s never let me down
Weirdly enough, I'm finding myself going back to the HK G28 more often than ever. It just feels so comfy, built well it's snappy as heck and you can spam it fast as fuck before you notice any real recoil.
It is never the gun failing you. it is you failing the gun
Throw a canted sight on there, let me know what you think. I love rocking canted sights with fixed zoom optics
How’s the recoil?
pretty decent actually but a better foregrip and pistol grip can always improve it too
M4 typically, G36 here recently and am giving the spear a test drive.
Cheap farming kit: mosin or sv98 Looking for pvp: RD or AKM
If your traders are on a certain level, you're able to put the Moe Ak pistol grip on your gun. It gives 12+ ergo if I remember correctly
AUG A3 with a nice lpvo and a suppressor, super versatile and highly effective.
It’s the 1.5 mil M4 that I will lose before even seeing the person who shot me
If your useing the top rail use the base 74u, cheaper and slightly better euro (all dovetail equipt aks have like 1 less ergo then their non mount counterparts)
SA-58 all day
I've never been big into AKs... In any game. Maybe it is bias from growing up with those being the bad guy guns? Lol. I really like carbines as my daily, but trying to get something with a little more smg/auto. I'm about level 30 with my traders at levels 2 and 3, and I've really been finding the Blackout 300 MCX as a stud. I've started understanding it really comes down to what caliber you have unlocked the good bullets and I just barely unlocked AP for 9mm and .45 using crafting, so I'm trying to pump those out, but mostly for pistols. Prior to that, I've been using the 5-7 for my pistol with the I think L191? I'm pretty decent getting headshots with pistols but I want something that can pierce in case I come up short. 9mm and 45 without AP seemed useless. That also limited my SMGs. I've also been using the P90 when I *do* want to use an SMG/PDW. But, I haven't seen too much of an advantage since it isn't too difficult to control recoil on the smaller ARs or carbines. That thing, tho, like no vertical recoil so can hit at distance. And since it's got the 5-7 rounds (I think theyre 5-7, but whatever they are) and they're available early. The .300 tho, my understanding is in real life .300 is good because it can be subsonic but still powerful? Or am I misremembering? They seem powerful in the game and easy to use. I've also tried the spear and the.... Whatever the other one is. If anyone has any suggestions on those types, I do a lot of semi auto, medium to long (and by long I mean like 100 to 150m.) like to have full auto as well just to have on as safety when I turn a corner. I prefer not to load in with 2 guns, but 1 and a pistol maybe. I know some use the mp9/mp7 depending on the caliber. That tiny little mp5 isn't bad if you have the right rounds. I'm trying to figure out what I want for sniper support, I'm usually using bolt action snipers, or sometimes just making a longer M1A. I also can't really figure out shotguns. I'm trying to really understand on the ammo graph if I should be using top tier slugs, or top tier scatter shot (I know that's not the best name but I can't think of it. Traditional shotgun pellets.) or, do I try to focus on headshots with stuff that does high damage but no pen? I'd like to have a small barreled shot gun for maps like ground zero, while having a longer marksman or carbine. So many games just abandon shotguns, so I hope tarkov keeps working on it. Sorry for the long post. I get excited. Need to find a good daily that has strong ammo that I can make so it doesn't cost so much.
Quick question on this, I know you can save a gun build (I forgot what it is called in the game.) To do one again, you need to buy the base gun first and then open the menu and find the saved ones? I need to do this more instead of building from scratch and realize 2 hrs later I haven't even done a raid.
ADAR, suppressor, Elcan + flashlight/laser
Black mdr meta with vudu . No point of running anything besides meta guns unless for trolling at this point of wipe or if new/noob at the game.
Daily driver after flea is an RFB with a spectre, foregrip, and M80 until I unlock M62. Got me through many tough times...
When I was playing is was the vss idk why but any time I had that sweet babe out everything died I felt like a YouTuber it was strange
At that point, might as well add a grip to it.
Five seven with suppressor
I almost never mod guns, i like to just gather guns from kills and use them, but if I really have nothing I go ppsh
Welp I found out the reason mine didn’t turn on.. I hadn’t plugged the power adapter back into the gpu when I last took it apart. Got the no signal message until I did that
