[@frasermurray9380]

cassettes is beautiful! Well done and thanks for the Tarkov tips.

*looks at 7 million rubble in inventory * yep it's time for budget now

[@itsme7570]

😂

[@hannibalgiraldo4435]

Me with 45 million:

[@wurfyy]

Chances are that this attitude is why you have 7 mil in stash.

[@derick115_1]

Looks at the 15mil. I have to to budget I am nearly broke!

[@itsme7570]

To be fair 15 million ruples is like 150k USD

[@1990alone]

Finally someone agrees with me on SP-5 being solid. I love you Beef.

[@bartul7160]

Got me the kills for the terragroup trail challenges, sp5 is fine by me

[@1990alone]

@@bartul7160 Yep, I've been running VSS and MCX non-stop this wipe, depending on which one's cheaper at the time.

[@fubarexress6359]

Sp5 has always been good. I've ran it end game and had no problems.

[@paddypibblet846]

Best raid yet this wipe with a VSS and SP5, four PMC kills in Reserve bunker, wiped out the raiders, and five player scavs on armored train extract.

[@dirtydeeds4free553]

There is an old labs chad that swears on sp5... even durring the val vss meta

[@marram101]

16:47 no back plate in the rig as that was the one from the first guy you killed and took the plate from too. This PMC just picked up all the gear including your insured stuff.

[@TheForeboding]

Thank you for DIRECTLY starting with the actual subject of the video!

[@war99120]

14:00 I think that guy had his headphone backwards as he was looking to his right while u were coming from his left XD

[@onebigfatguy]

Really I've been enjoying the loud blast mitigater combo for 5.56 guns. Another good mention is the Burning Pig muzzle break for 5.56 seeing as it removes -20 loudness so can be a cheaper way to get quite shots if you can't afford suppressors.

[@Alex-vh9ow]

just wanted to say thank you for this vid! as a noobish player you explain and go very thorough threw the details in a very understandable way!

[@ryensullivan7564]

seeing these clips live and now seeing them in your YT vid is insane, love the streams Giga!

[@MiSt3300]

Finally, I was waiting for this video from you for ages! Thanks very much!

[@squawmous]

The guy with no magazine in his gun probably forgot to put his magazine back in in his gun after he packed his mags. That happened to me a few times but fortunately I noticed after only shooting once at a scav

[@thomasstewart1380]

Kedr-B with PBM is a monster

[@darkday96]

The OP-SKS barter at mechanic 2 is really nice. ~43.000 RUB to craft the 3 WParts yourself from VPO-209s and you get a 69/161 Recoil 7.62x39mm gun. Mod it further with: WT0032_1 from Jaeger II ( ~2000 RUB) + SRVV AKM from Flea ( usually 12.000-15.000 RUB ) MUTU017 from Jaeger II ( ~10500 RUB) for Erg. and sight support then decide on mag ( can get 20 rounders for chainlets at skier I ) and sight to use. Costs around 70.000 RUB for 53/122 Recoil + cost for mags and sight. ( You can in theory use SKS with only 1 Mag and topload your ammo into it) If you use it with US ammo it reduces Recoil even further (at 29 Pen) and with found BP or MAI AP it kills just about anything. PS is also really good once you get it (35 Pen Praper III + quest locked). You can also always look for T-45M1 ammo on fence ( 30 Pen) I think it costs you ~260 RUB a bullet.

[@gabytron3]

I could perfectly be the "no mag AUG guy"

[@watuhboy]

.300 CBJ on the flea almost feels like an oversight, 43 pen with good damage makes it one of the best flea-accessible rounds imo.

[@bartul7160]

Its like 1000 roubles a round though, youll be spending most of your raids profits regaining your money from the raid

[@sambeam2404]

​@bartul7160 sometimes I pay double that for my 7.62x39 PP. It's worth it and not at all hard to earn your money back. People are just cheap af in this game for some reason.

[@sambeam2404]

@oregano8720 not really lol half a million rubles is like 2 motors and a water filter that takes

[@meverythankyou5657]

another really good kind of budget weapon is the mcx (40-50k on flea), can be modded out for around 60k (90-100k if you add a suppressor (also using the raven barter saves 10-15k)) and fmj is a cheap and pretty effective round at 30 pen and 60 damage at around 350 roubles per round on flea if you dont have skier 3

[@tommywu9361]

What do you think about the MP9-N? You can get one very cheap for under 30k roubles in the Flea Market, and with the low price of AP 6.3 it seems pretty good.

[@oumajgad6805]

AKSU goes a long way. I used it as lvl1 in a bare form with just some optics, now I use like 200k rubles, pimped out version with PP ammo and it just slaps. Yea, the range isn't great but I suck at long range shooting anyway so...

[@monolith705]

The KBP VSK-94 should be an honorable mention, sp-5 can go through level 2, and has a chance to go through level 3. You can just buy more of the same gun, and sell the gun to the traders, which will sometimes give you a free mag. This gun just seems to shred people, and all you gotta to do is stick a good sight on it, and you're good. Mp9 is also amazing this wipe.

[@OTOss8]

Here we go. This is just what I needed. You always deliver sir. You always *deliver*!

[@zachcanreed8549]

Dude the AUG has been my go to, the recoil is amazing and it usually comes back on insurance

[@itzvrtx2244]

The AUG and the RFB are incredibly slept on. AUG more than anything. Combine either with a specter on top and a solid supressor (and a foregrip for the RFB) and youve got an incredibly solid gun for very cheap. I find myself taking an RFB out instead of black MDRs a lot.

[@FaustTP]

I know it's more expensive to do but I always run the AUG with the 16" rather than the 20" because the 4 more ergonomics are way more important to me than the barely -1 effective recoil reduction TBH.

[@bigjuan87]

the aug is like my DMR/CQB wombo combo with the a3 upper and 16 barrel its compact enough to clear buildings with and with a high power scope like the Valday i got my longest headshot of the wipe with a 366.5m shot on a PMC on woods

[@TheSewar13]

Amazing video and music my friend! Aug claps :D

[@mn1907]

The VAL is great option i hvae used it and its preform well, with 20 round mag and sp5 ammo i been able to take down PMC wearing Press Armor with lvl 5 plates i think the accuracy is the advantge on semi auto its shred

[@CrucifixXII]

Hey @gigabeef love your videos. Thank you for this. Is there a reason that the mp7 isn't considered for budget killer? Is it the cost of the suppressor?

[@Welsh_Veteran_420_Z]

I've just hot to level 25 and haven't run mp7 once ad i can't get ammo or mags cheap

[@Jason39979]

14:04 LOLOL :D

[@Thierry1873]

AKS-74U Alfa Arms Goliaf M-LOK handguard is unlocked at Skier L2. Not L1 as video states. You can get the other version AKS-74U Alfa Arms Goliaf handguard from Mechanic L1 however.

[@Danny.reg.]

Love these budget videos! i think the pp19 and g36c deserve also a place since theyre really cheap espeacially the pp19

[@Chevalier_knight]

Zero reason to use the pp19 when we have the kedr suppressed

[@Danny.reg.]

@@Chevalier_knight pp19 is cheaper has better rounds at the same traders and has way more compatible mods

[@fireflyredux3373]

The Kedr this update freaking shreds. It's a laser beam even with iron sights. I've easily one tapped PMCs in the face (obviously helmets stop the rounds but its still not fun to get shot in the helmet in Tarkov) and the repeatability of follow on shots is nuts. If it gets CQB the rate of fire is amazing to just nuke the legs and thorax, and level 3 Kevlar can only tank so many rounds (It's a bit odd how bad it is now, like the durability is kind of crap for stopping more than 3 - 7 rounds, using RG028 even- which is also like 1.2 seconds on target lol).

[@matt.dufault9966]

I’ve been really enjoying the PP-19. Cheap and ez to mod with many AK accessible attachments.

[@CellTank]

Great stuff as always. Banger of a raid at the end, I wish I caught that one live!

[@charlesbartleson6109]

The 5.56 SOST rounds also have an increased chance to cause heavy bleeds, at least on paper. I think this makes them superior to the 5.45 PP rounds.

[@AlwaysSullied]

For me its been the VPO-209 + EKO in 75 Round Drums + 2x scope. It's a monster since no one is expecting you to have a seemingly endless amount of ammo.

[@worldc6685]

P90 military cable barter (40k-50k) & R37.F leg meta works very well. You can get R37.F dirt cheap on flee

[@gage_youtube3544]

another one is the mp9 with ap6.3. thing SMOKES people and just brings them to their knees if they dont die first

[@thebattlefieldproject6013]

The MP9 and MP9N have been my go to questing weapons this wipe.

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

the Kedr/Klin are really under-rated especially early wipe, I think the silenced Kedr is the best gun to do Punisher part 2

[@husky964]

I'm level 30 now and still using PP91. It's an amazing budget weapon.

[@acolytetojippity]

I think the Mp5 base should really be in this list. it's absurdly cheap for an almost-complete package that has good RPM, good accuracy across short-mid range, and 9x19 PST ammo. it's a perfect headshot machine out to mid range with cheap ammo. plus, the gun itself is *CHEAP*. it's a couple of brown handle knives and a fulcrum bayonet. you can, if you're lucky, get that from 3 scav kills in a single raid. the UMP is similar, but requires 4 black handle knives and the fulcrum *BUT* it fires .45 which hits way harder.

[@sqorng]

My favourite gun so far was MCX, although it's not really a budget option considering how much CBJ costs, but it's far the best gun in terms of available ammo with full auto, killed some guys through class 5 plates

[@SleepySteve79]

Looking at 7000 rubbles in inventory.. Yep... scaving it is!

[@rdmqwerty]

how do you actually shoot at someone to hit their "soft armor"? whenever im using weak ammo i lose every fight against pmcs and my post game damage is mostly showing damage absorbed by armor

[@ham7357]

Neck/face or legs id guess

[@orionfell]

to low level players: check fence for ammo. he has t45m for aks, bcp fmj for 7.62x51, and t46 for mosins.

[@ascetik]

Fence also sells 5.45x39 PS and sometimes even 7.62x39 PS

[@syys5640]

And all of these ammo are trash and can barely pen lvl 4. Waste of money. Got no ammo with lvl 4 pen? Just go with smgs.

[@j.am501]

Nice

[@eurida3435]

Would you say it's too late to start wipe for a new low level player? I was thinking of just playing for shiggles just to learn the game but are there too many high levels running around for it to be enjoyable?

[@averyarabosa9413]

Nah it's not too late. Anyone over level 20 can't get into ground zero map on pmc and really past the intro quests there is little incentive to go there for higher level players. Also maps like woods you have a good chance that you never even find another pmc unless you run into sawmill or med camp in the first 10 minutes

[@Gigabeef]

Agreed this wipe is the best one to start late! Anyone can die with the new neck/armpit hitboxes, armor does less than ever which is a huge bonus for new starters

[@jpvert5511]

Yo how come when the weekend comes around every raid is 10x more active and i die and then i cry like a little girl? anyone tell me why

[@Brzzzyexe]

best guns currently are mp9, p90, ak-103/4, rfb, and the aug (with the low profile mount)

[@Brzzzyexe]

forgot about the fal, you can normally pick up the "militarized" version on flea full durability for around 100k

[@wurfyy]

This is missing the MDR imo. Really good budget weapon, low recoil, if slightly higher than the AUG, but with enough ergo to make up for that. Also, where's the RFB? Sometimes it's only like 30k on flea, and BCP is cheap enough for the quantity you'll use. That's my go to budget gun.

[@JohnDoe-gq6yg]

I think he left the RFB off because lots of people (including myself) won't even consider using a gun without a flashlight for PVP

[@Chevalier_knight]

I dont need a flashlight when shooting unaware players

[@bwl3878]

Just found out all the semi auto weapon is not in the list.😂

[@wurfyy]

@@JohnDoe-gq6yg Demonstrating once again why tryhards who manage to become successful content creators for Tarkov have no business lecturing the average player. Their advice is really useful for the other chads who figure those same things out on their own just fine. I'm pretty sure most people couldn't care less about flashlights on most maps. I suspect the Kedr advice also isn't particularly useful for the average players who aren't going to click heads like he does.

[@JohnDoe-gq6yg]

@@wurfyy bro if you don't use a flashlight you are 100% a timmy

[@Omni_Actual]

Ohhh I feel horrible for the guy who forgot to put the mag in the gun. He was mashing that mouse button so hard and had no idea what was going on. Probably submitted a bug report right after haha.

[@darksidetize5183]

How did I not know that this "mag loading tool" was a thing.....

[@Official_ISmokeyTheBear]

I'm high lvl and Im using the AUG as my end game gun. Its so good.

[@CeizoBro]

I picked up an AUG A3 from a box the other day, im lvl 21 so i cant by the low rail so i just put an FF3 on the default donut scope. Its become my favorite weapon, the recoil feels so so good even when barely modded

[@gam883]

Don’t sleep on 5.45 PRS. It sounds like a joke but I have been wrecked by plenty of scavs using it

[@Scouter5050]

You have got to be kidding me

[@framekixrr]

7:51 what is that status effect at the top?

[@Gigabeef]

Gym effect, doesn't do anything in raid but you can't use the gym again and get exp until it's gone

[@framekixrr]

@@Gigabeef cheers mr beef, love your videos very informative :)

[@Mrcornbread31Corn-gz5pr]

Ak12 is my new go to. Half the price of running an sr25. Kittted out it’d only like 140k

[@wurfyy]

Well, 140k is not really budget anymore. At that price range I'd look at the P90, though. Load it up with L191 and/or SS197 in a ratio of your choosing (I usually go for 2/3 ratio of those) and then just spray frantically at anything that moves. Feels really good.

[@kev1734]

ak12 has a mental fire rate. took one out last night and melted people

[@wurfyy]

@@kev1734 Bruh, it's only 700rpm. That's on the slower side.

[@Chevalier_knight]

I think the suppressed kedr is better because it has negative recoil

[@JohnCena-oo1cl]

What’s your opinion on bestbest gun out right now in the meta?

[@Gigabeef]

Probably the 762 mdr I suppose, that or the spear, but that guy is extremely expensive as it's practically flea only (like 10th Lightkeeper task of something). But hybrid on pk4 is extremely strong. Tbh though if you're not looking for something that deals with all ranges, the vector with pbp has got to be crazy of you use it, same with Aug plus M855A1. I really like the Aug if you couldn't tell already haha

[@soldaatjhu]

1:26 wtf, why where there 5 identical scavs there!?

[@GODFATHER877]

Offline mode tends to spawn duplicates of scavs a lot more, and I assume some of the clips were offline mode for convenience

[@t0mbr1d]

Been running uley and 6b13 the entire wipe and havent been necked in an actual fight yet

[@CeizoBro]

ive been necked one time with the mountain flora one but he was running 56a1 so its no surprise it zipped right thru

[@wurfyy]

I've been running almost exclusively M2 and Eclipse rigs, neither of which have necks, and I think I've been necked once.

[@holybananas6124]

A scav shot me on the neck once. I think neck prot is good against them

[@Apollo_1641]

I really do think the UMP 45 deserved a spot here. It goes for about 20k rub on the flea, and can also be aquired from lvl 1 peacekeeper and mechanic through accessible and cheap barters. .45 hits really hard. In my experience .45 FMJ reliably punches through lvl 2 face protection like visors, mandibles, and ears killing on the first shot. Whereas 9x19 Pst would leave the enemy's head with 1 hp left in many cases.

[@ftKomA]

The 45 Kriss costs the same and is much stronger

[@IosifStalinsendsyoutoGulag]

25 round mags and low rate of fire are a problem

[@syys5640]

High recoil too

[@chomper720]

AKS-74U is fren! :3

[@Rock_Wilson]

Mmmmm beef

[@MaximilianBachtele]

Kedr FTW

[@NOOBsoldier2517]

doesnt matter what gun you use. its all about the ammo

[@framekixrr]

Gun does matter, just much less than the ammo. I mean would you rather use the 9mm revolver or the 9mm semi auto pistol?

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

idk the g36 is pree nice too.

[@cmac37420]

I wish my raids were filled with kitted bots like yours :(

[@mysterioushomoguy]

If you are using vss with 20 rounders, then I think VSK/9A-91 are even more budget.

[@wurfyy]

Terrible recoil, though.

[@iswearshewas1815]

Why are we talking about kedr headshots? Is legmeta dead? Haven’t played this wipe

[@framekixrr]

Leg meta still works don’t worry

[@iheelhookday1whitebelts22]

Svt is still the best the fact you can T-46m or whatever it’s called for like 500 rubles a shot off the flea and can 1 shot basically anyone in the game is lowkey crazy

[@lindsayfisher2623]

My idea of budget is a pistol that costs sub 20k lol

[@longplaylegends]

Fake news @11:56, haven't run into a complete dope like that in months, it's always either getting instantly headshot, or dying to a bush wookie... I miss early wipe man.. Same @14:00 lmao!

[@KATB312]

Is it just me or does the handguard not work

[@SavageShooter93]

Just because I didn't see it in the comments anywhere else and it wouldn't be the internet without some pedantic ass saying this. "Its suppressed not silenced"

[@rodrigogonzalez1254]

I don’t know why people keep putting the VSS as budget, it is not budget it is a pretty expensive weapon to run consistently, especially if you want to have a 30 rounder.

[@BraindeadCRY]

I've found the VSS/VAL to be incredibly unreliable this wipe. Even when going relatively light on the trigger I've had it jam on me due to overheating multiple times. A gun that has a significant chance to refuse to fire after the first 30 or so rounds fired in a fight just isn't worth using. I'd rather have a worse gun that's more reliable.

[@marincusman9303]

Do you think this game is still worth playing with the cheating situation? I stopped playing like 3 years ago but I’m wanting to get back into it.

[@Fitdemasi]

I enjoy it even if I die, just a good game to socialize with the boys. I havnt ran into any blatant cheaters this wipe really

[@rjtrageser9884]

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@ryandelong2759]

I see people using the Eotech hhs-1 hybrid now. Did it get fixed? It’s selling for about 70k right now.

mdr 556 is cheaper then aug and hase close stats

[@DunkSkunk]

Why are you taking plates, they hardly get damaged and arent worth anything Ive probably done that like one actual time.

[@YeetDaBabies]

G36C better

[@Exotic-_]

it isn't, a lot of youtubers have been testing all 556 guns, and the G36C is close, but the AUG is still better lmao

[@YeetDaBabies]

@@Exotic-_ G36C is significantly lighter and slightly cheaper at the cost of 5 ergo (with cheap foregrip) while having a tighter horizontal spread. The only shortcoming is the accuracy, the C is good enough for headshots at up to ~150m (aug a3 up to ~250m). Really can't emphasize the weight enough though, it's lighter than some smgs (both fully modded) while shooting a bigger, faster caliber. It's the perfect secondary.

[@thicock45]

no 556 mdr no like

[@axialivanov6101]

Aug is just better

[@LeJohnnyBoy]

Everytime you post good content, prices on the Flea gets reShuffle

[@1990alone]

Dude, the AUG was 70k yesterday. It used to be like 40k before everyone started covering it as the best budget weapon, ironically.

[@wurfyy]

It's weird because imo as a budget weapon the MDR is way better.

[@1990alone]

@@wurfyy Yeah but the MDR used to be more expensive than the AUG, so the AUG took over as the budget gun. We'll probably see a return of the MDR tho if prices continue rising for the AUG.

[@johnhighway7399]

Nearly every gun is great now so price fluctuations don't matter that much anymore

[@syys5640]

M855? Sost? This must be a joke. It relies on randomly hitting the soft spots instead of the lvl 4 spots... Bad strategy.
