I’m a little numbers whore, could you please include the info on them ❤

[@dusdfps]

+1 for mixing attachment colors, I swear by making stupid looking guns because they do genuinely come back more often on insurance. That said I definitely will be building a few tan man M4s! Banger vid as always.

Classic Dusd, your robust diet has left you with higher brain powers.

[@Kevanoe]

hold up is that wesley? 😭 surely it’s not the masked blue wax bandit

[@thegames4565]

I'd say the opposite is true, especially with tan man m4s they seem to be picked specifically for looking odd, I guess people think weird=valuable

[@Alone-_0]

Man I haven’t played Tarkov in years but got back in after this patch and having so much fun. Seeing your videos pop up in my recommended and watching them brings back memories. It’s good to be back

[@haydenmcdonald4087]

The reason people for a long time have "slept" on windowed mags come from the word of mouth that the specific type of glass texture used on window mags had the "glow" effect that you would be able to see from extremely far away when even light fog would obscure you, this glass glow would pop out being extremely noticeable. Haven't checked to see if this glow is still plagueing window mags + a certain set of eyewear still but thats the reason why people dont run them!

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Good to know, I believe glasses do still have this issue

[@haydenmcdonald4087]

@@TickleMePinkGaming if that is the case then I'd assume window mags would as well since they share the texture. Something to keep in mind for the maps with larger engagement distances!

[@crashingatom6755]

I kitted out a smokin tan ADAR for mid range sniping. Silent and powerful and rad looking.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Try the tx15 if you get a chance, its like a insane adar

[@f4mmer540]

Sniping a 100/100 OSW sa-58 for about 70-90k rub is working really well, since it's controllable now, firing FMJ

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

good idea

[@dr.richarddicknificentm.d.5532]

Honestly the MCX at lvl 2 traders is massively slept on. Gotta buy the gun from flea but they're like 50k and require little modding to get going, and Vmax ammo is both dirt cheap from skier and surprisingly goated. Smokes lvl 3 and can reliably burn lvl 4 in full auto, 72 damage and it gives less recoil and more accuracy to the gun. Gonna be my go to for a while

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

I agree I just found it a bit inconsistent due to the low tier ammo

[@marcusalvarez8791]

Saw this video while loading into a Streets scav and found your dead body with the M4 build by the green flare extract.. killed by a scav with a Saiga.. idk the odds of what just happened are but i'm mindblown.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

LMAOOO I know this exact raid.

[@RAZIEverything]

This is nuts lol

[@clapdtheclown4209]

The baby AK builds have been my bread and butter for many wipes now. The ammo is everywhere, they're cheap and work well in close quarters or med-long range if using a 4x. I think once I unlock BP from traders, I'll be solely running these. Only difference would be with 1 60rd mag from lav crafting.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Hell yeah man, tried and true.

[@TaylorWillis-f6w]

MP5 has been so consistent for me this wipe. I was on a deployment and just got back a few weeks ago so I’m starting late this wipe. I’ve been using almost exclusively the MP5 and have been farmmmming kits. Just a couple hours ago I was on Streets and killed a duo with class 6 Kirasa’s and CQCM masks. The MP5 is so controllable you’re able to just put shots right between their plates with ease.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Welcome home brotha!

[@bookmark2232]

Thanks for the video. Exactly what I was looking for!

[@lb47ghost]

that M4 build saved my ass during the arena breakout mobile beta and even after release

[@itezo234]

love the g36 build its very good even with the monstroum scope

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Hell yeah man, I hope we get more burst fire rifles

[@MikeOpath96]

Absolutely smashing video exactly what I'm looking for!! Only second wipe and really taken to the game I just truggle with early wipe builds so thankyou only criticism I would have is at the end of each build could you show in the edit preset all the attachments or a little list so people can screen shot it as I watched videos at work and have to watch the video step by step again when I'm home apart from that spot on keep it up

[@PixelHorror]

Loving this wipe. Played around 4-5 wipes now, but what would usually take me like 2 month progress-wise, took me around a week this wipe. Feels great to finally start getting to grips with this game. Thanks for the builds brother

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Good to hear!

[@dannyduck7880]

Thanks for the great video. I just hit lvl 15 and opened the flea so I was able to build that M4 without lvl 2 traders although a little more pricey but that thing rocks. Gonna build the other guns as well and alternate ammo.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Of course man happy to help!

[@jaredbilyk3170]

Awesome video! I am excited to see the LVL3 Video!

Great video mate, please in the future at the end of each build also show us the full inspect view, otherwise we have to pause the video piece by piece while creating the preset. Also seeing the full stats of the finished weapon would be nice aswell. Thank you, keep up the great work.

[@thefartmachine3017]

Seeing burst fire work well is pretty cool considering it’s the most realistic at these closer ranges.

[@MrPostie]

New to Tarkov, really appreciate the video! Great content

[@slerpn]

especially with this new recoil we all know drip is more important than the 0.5% better parts

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Lmao trueee

[@HeizPlays]

So instead of using Zenit RK4 Grip, I opted for a MAGPUL AFG tactical foregip cuz its cheaper and has 2 more ergonomics and same recoil reduction. Im assuming thats better right ?

[@immensumcaelo]

Does my PMC just how low recoil control skill? Tried the M4, having the scope on has some pretty extreme recoil after the 2nd or 3rd shot.

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Are you controlling it yourself at all,

[@immensumcaelo]

@@TickleMePinkGamingDo I need to send you a video of what I mean? LOL the reticle on the sight literally goes halfway into the sight

[@immensumcaelo]

After a couple shots, the reticle doesn’t even line up with where the bullets are going 😂 it’s like 4-5 feet off

[@xxDEAGORxx]

@@immensumcaeloAre you playing SPT by any chance? there has been a recoil update this patch which makes the m4 for example have much less recoil and camera movement when shot. SPT is not yet on the new wipe (hence why ground zero and stuff isn't in it yet) so that will give you the old recoil system which means the M4 has WAY more of a kick "JesseKazam" has a 2month old video titled "TARKOV'S NEW RECOIL IS HERE!" which has a before and after comparison in it.

Other than that great video might try that m4 bluid.

yeah they changed it recently, my bad

for the baby ak, craft 60 round mags w hideout and itll make up for bad ammo

[@BlueBirdsProductions]

change the top cover on the sks and add a canted reflex sight up front and you have no disadvantage

[@victorrenerio7050]

dont use the flip up holo, it gives you the 3x recoil even on the 1x mode. its bugged for a long time now

[@markmacdonald6036]

You sure that's not old info?

[@assburgers9953]

@@markmacdonald6036 I've personally compared the hybrid with a normal eotech, on the same gun, and it still gives you more recoil, it's just less noticeable because recoil is better across the board. An important aside to that too is that it also still becomes misaligned when firing full-auto, almost as if the scope still operates on old recoil, while the gun is on the new, which can be seen by the scope just soaring above where a laser would be pointing. So no, it is still as broken as ever.

[@markmacdonald6036]

@assburgers9953 yeah I went into my hideout and manually tested this. And I can confirm that your grouping doesn't line up with the red dot on full auto. It's almost like it's camera recoil is forcing it off center.

[@NCLB99]

great video, a summary of the price of the weapon fully modded at the end would have been nice but other than that flawless

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Good idea, ty

[@jstnle2012]

Are there any smg/smaller caliber guns accessible at lvl 2 traders that you think stand out as viable?

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Yeah brotha, an mp5 or a pp-19 can be a great budget option paired with some pst. It will certainly not be as good as any of the rifles shown in this video but you can get kills with it.

[@pizzashet3592]

just a tip click the green 99 for handbook assuming you dont know but prob do

just doesnt bother me but ty

[@SolidBold00]

M855 cant be purchased at level 2 so those guns almost dont count unless you manage to find a good amount of ammo on a map

[@TickleMePinkGaming]

Hey man, how’s it going? Hope somewhat better. If you’re still not secure with map knowledge and feeling meh about it, why don’t you try out the single player tarkov AKI? basically like online, but all at your pace, with mods and no cheaters or giga chad pvpers. This at least gives you a good way to learn maps, spawns and the basics of gunmodding and gunplay.
