higher muzzle velocity in the op sks which definitely matters at range.

[@blackm4niac]

What I personally love abou the MP-18 is how you can slap the el cheapo 4x scope on it (anything fancier than that is just flexing your wealth) and presto, you have the cheapest sniper in the game. Oh sure, it lacks a bit of accuracy over long range, but there is nothing more satifying then to one tap a chad with it from a distance. I love it. Put PS ammo in it to offset some of the inaccuracy of this gun (plus it also goes through most helmets) and you have a gun that kinda transcends meme status. It's also not a huge loss when you eventually drop it for something better.

[@francisconov5664]

I did SBiH with El cheapo a couple of wipes ago on lighthouse, domed two guys near the striker at the bridge of lighthouse and while looting I got shot from the hill, I find him and domed him too. One of my peak tarkov moments

[@avtomatkalash3888]

Ugh i did not really like the MP18 this wipe. Its so inaccurate. I had to shoot at a scav like 3-4 times before i hit it. Crouched. From like 50-70meters. So yea kinda disappointing

[@danielkrieger6107]

​@@avtomatkalash3888skill issue

[@wesleywyndam-pryce5305]

[@wesleywyndam-pryce5305]

​@@avtomatkalash3888 crouching doesn't effect MOA so thats not relevant beyond weapon sway and if you missed because of sway thats on you. but yeah its a gamble at far enough range with 3.0 moa which is like 6x less accurate than an sv-98 with its 0.51 moa. I find it pretty consistent at 70-100 and perfectly accurate at 50 and less which isn't really "sniping" ranges

[@12345farris]

In defense of the flare pistol, you can still find the poison green flares for it apparently, i have one that i am hanging on to do Pest control

[@AndreasMnck]

if you shoot with a loud gun inside the barracks, the scavs will come investigate it. makes the quest very easy. This trick also works for the one quest down in the reserves

[@antonhallergren588]

​@@AndreasMnck yup my scav kill count mostly depends on supressed or not. Suppressed it's like 3-4. Loud usually above 10 but often 20.

[@lieutenantdumbass7731]

For the love of God, BOTH sks variants are S tier because the Leapers dust cover rail mount makes it so you have an optic right perfect in line WITHOUT a dovetail mount. Plus, if you use the UAS Sks stock, you can get it down to 60 recoil, and it shoots like a decked out tx-15.

[@hizzousekakashi8836]

I am happy to report that I have used the PM pistol almost exclusively this entire wipe, you can craft the 9x18 PMM Pst from WB1 and the gunpowder for the craft can be made as well using ammo bought from traders so it was almost immediately up, the ammo has more pen and damage than 9x19 Pst and prapor sells the PB with a supr on it at 5 per reset, anyone under 50m is pretty easy to pop them in the face.

[@thesaul9484]

Nice gains, mr. Leviticus, now you are nearing the PMC appearance

[@brokejumper7656]

MP-153 kitted out with a monstrum sight, silencer and 8x mag with .50bmg is one of the most underrated combos. I sniped kids with it when doing setup

Super-performance slugs also work well if you want to go the sniper route. Depending on the engagement you aim for their knees or aim for their throat and make them sad.

[@Bread-kun]

The RPD is so damn fun this wipe, me and some friends, someone in our squad legitimately just runs the RPD every single raid and unironically uses it like an actual suppressing support tool and it's funny how much it actually terrifies people when suddenly thjere's just non stop bullets flying over their heads and no one wants to peek anymore and we can all just move into better positions. Plus some tracers flying giving us a good idea where to look. Or he can point man into a room and just start pre firing every single spot he walks around because fuck it he has 100 bullets why not, we have no idea if anyone is there he's just shooting anyways, and we killed a couple people that tbh probably thought we were cheating when they were making 0 noise and a man kicks in the door with an RPD and pre fires him. I thought it was gonna be a bit of a meme weapon but legitimately there's actually a use for squad tactics with an LMG in this game and I didn't even think that was gonna be a thing. It's great for us who know the game but aren't super ultra giga chad sprint around corners into instant head shots level but we still know what we're doing. I can't wait for them to inevitably add in the M249 or god forbid the M240. Or M60 just to start blasting Fortunate Son in VOIP.

Highlight of my wipe. Was on the Shoreline Scav island doing a task, and one of the Scavs dropped a standard RPD. On the way back across the ship, someone tried to snipe me from above the tunnel.

pump shotguns are good if you like ammo variety, using a semi auto you gotta charge the handle to eject rounds but with a pump you just slam your ammo out and put in the round you want. very situational but its worked for me

The flare pistol is able to shoot the dsf flare (poison flare) able to get any boss in the game to follow u around anywhere on the map , easily one of , if not the most rare item in the game I found one last wipe, just learn more

@@goldenknight007 this wipe i got thr best ammo for it 7.62x25mm TT Pst gzh right from level 1 prapor or something like that, i just remember i was surprised that i did not need to do any mission unlock. So pretty early this wipe at least !

[@mikesinaro]

​@@goldenknight007 I prefer LRCN or whatever it's called. Drum mag with that mf either to the legs or the face is just instant death. Most people are also still wearing armor without neck protection so even shots there will kill if you spray and pray. I've had more success with that cheap ass gun then even some meta builds.

VPO is really nice for Tarkov Shooter part 3, but otherwise I wouldn't put it that high. It's pretty bad at long distance, which is what SRs are used for

The flare pistol also has the dsf flair making all scabs friendly for a while. It’s rare unless there’s an event going on but it’s a free boss kill

[@ArkSylv]

I would argue that the AK-101 is a fantastic gun. The muzzle velocity makes it an exceptional option for an automatic that can also be used to snipe well.

[@nicolasheung441]

I actually got a 9mm revolver kill once, whipped it out quick draw after running into a PMC on Woods. Although it speaks more about how good pistols are in general in 14.0 than the gun itself (the guy's running naked with a scoped SVT, and I did put a .366 fmj round in him first before fanning the hammer with the revolver.)

[@havenbrush7100]

I did the 3 pistols kills quest with the 9mm revolver. I was on ground zero and went for headshots.

[@Scrap_Goblin]

They should put some of the irl adapters that exist for the flare gun in the game. Make it a weak pocket single shot shotgun or pistol with adapters

[@remixex369]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1930">32:10</a> It's the best before unlocking flea imo. The best ammo Fence sells for .366 is TKM FMJ (23 pen), and for 7.62x54R is the T-46M GZH (41 pen). The difference is massive vs anyone wearing armor.

[@susmaster5817]

bro your jacked

[@True_RepentanceRR]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1892">31:32</a> You can buy 60 rounds of 7.62x54R BT per reset from Prapor at lvl 4, which has 55 pen and 78 damage. Very expensive at over 1k per round, but very worth running.

[@Trigger0x10c]

The SPEAR is so much fun to run, I have put the default sig scope on it, and the recoil in single shot mode is so miniscule I can pretty much use it as a DMR with zero recoil with 4x magnification. Shame the ammo is pretty hard to get, but boy is it fun

[@kinezislp508]

OP SKS is truly OP this wipe. Putting it to B tier is a big mistake, it belongs to S tier. People don't understand why SKS got nerfed for a moment in the rolled back patch because they never played with the SKS in the best stock and SRVV flashhinder. It's a laserbeam that shoots pretty acessible 7.62x39 PP or even BP with a 4x, it's CRAZY good. It literally outclasses SR25 and other semi auto guns as no other guns can laserbeam that hard.

[@darkjak565]

TOZ main here, thank you for giving us the tier we deserve 🙏 I will continue to raid on a 2 ruble budget and enjoy it

[@quangnhat5345]

I have sleept on the SAG for many wipes, but this wipes with the new recoil just turn that SAG into a budget monster, slap a cheap Silencer on it, a cheap Sight, then you still have a god damn gun that is cost less than 100k and fire good 5.45 rounds with lazer accuracy. Basically a head clicking machine

[@antonhallergren588]

A tip dont just use whatever you can find. Use smgs from traders till you have flea. At flea you look at what guns yiu can buy for say 50k w 100 durability that need few mods like the aug, the mcx, the rfb, the mpx and stuff like it. You use whatever un like that which you can buy the best ammo for. Early it'll be pst gzh so smgs, then m855, 300blk bcp, tcw sp, bcp fmj a stuff like that. Do the quest revisions lighthouse asap and you get m80 for 4 dollars a pop and now you're on a more even playing field w ppl as it is the meta ammo. Don't run garbage weapons w shit durability and use the best ammo you can get from traders.
