The Best LL2 Trader Weapons In Tarkov Patch 0.15!

[@3211learza]

one thing about the MCX - another reason to use it is just finding a lot of 300 blackout (CBJ is among the more common high-tier ammo I see), and it being the only way to shoot that

[@Handcannon77]

Yeah ive seen A LOT more m62 and CBJ in loose ammo spawns this wipe, it seems like theyve buffed overall global ammo spawns with 0.15. Ive also seen some of the highest tier ammo like m995/SNB etc. A LOT more often this wipe too, I found 100 m995, 20 SNB, and like 200rds of 856a1 at USEC on woods day 1 of the wipe and my buddy picked up a bunch more rare ammo from attachment shack in the same raid.

[@CptFrito]

The PT-1 stock for the AKs also takes the Buttpad for extra stats, it's very close to the PT-3 if you can't buy it yet

[@froggie488]

identical stats iirc!

[@daedalus6433]

@@froggie488 yup, but the PT-3 does weigh way less.

[@HONDOR22]

I think we need to mention bullet velocity during these comparisons. It has a substantial impact on performance and should be considered when creating a loadout. The difference between how forgiving a P90 is (shooting over 700 m/s) and the VSK (SP-5 shooting less than 300) is massive, especially for new players.

[@simon88397]

One thing I like to do with the AKs is use the TRAX 1 and 2 as this gives you 5 more ergo and 5 less recoil than the build you showed in the video. Note however that you will need mechanic 2 to buy these parts directly.

[@wildbill268]

One of the challenges I had with the RFB suppressed is the overswing. Basically had to choose my parts to give the absolute most evoergo I could get, but it was a difference of ~0.6s to ads compared to ~1s with over swing. Here's the full build list if anyone wants to recreate it: ADO P4 Sniper 3-9x42 riflescope (most magnification with the lowest penalty. All of the 30mm optics gave over swing) KRISS Defiance low profile flip-up rear and front sights SilencerCo Hybrid 46 multi-caliber sound suppressor Strike Industries Cobra Tactical foregrip SA-58/FAL 7.62x51 MMW polymer 20-round magazine

[@TrevarThePastor]

SOPMOD m4 not worth it? Bruh even at 80k a pop, the build is really good for 160k roubles. MOE + Buttpad, ELCAN spectre, decent handguard. You can take a lot of that stuff off and sell it back and make some of the cost back, too. Pretty wild thing to just gloss over.

[@AndyAtar]

Any news on the updated hidden recoil stats table (dispersion, etc.)? The 74U had 12 dispersion last wipe. It seems like UZI has increased dispersion too.

[@theShermanator]

You don't think the mini monster is really good? Its still a suppressor, recoil I feel like is a lot less important in EFT since the recoil overhaul last wipe (iirc) and having high ergo, suppressed AND your gun staying the same size (mini monster doesn't add +1) is massive imo

[@DirkTheDaringDnD]

Good point there, but I also feel like suppressors with +1 length are good from an annoyance standpoint haha, like they can’t stuff it into their bag as easy. Also big fan, been around since the early Heroes and Generals vids :) ❤️

Use pstm in the klin, 1000 rpm and the ammo may be 4 pen less but it’s got 18 more damage

[@KrheaKap]

@@jeevil42 mh maybe a good point but personally I'd rather go for more pen chance on that

[@jeevil42]

@@KrheaKap 24 pen vs 28 isn’t a huge difference when most of the time ur facing at least tier 4 with tier 2 over it, might as well go much higher damage because ur gonna have to hit face anyways. Both have a similar time to kill even against armor because of how much higher pstm is on damage

[@avopeac6300]

Ref level 2 is very easy to get and worth it. Just play last hero in Arena and keep re-rolling your ref tasks for last hero games. I think I just had to get like 30 kills in last hero and three top five finishes to get level two. Lol

[@k7y]

I've been asking for this since 2020 A game mode (such as the marathon mode) that's locked to gear available from upto LL2 traders. People Unlock end game gear a month into the wipe and rest of the wipe is boring after that, pew pew guns get boring real quick. And there should be a quest that rewards you highly for Eliminating Bosses with low tier gear.

[@Ky_Ky_Ky]

Ya know I’m not sure why this viewpoint is so widely shared. Why not enjoy both stages of the wipe? It’s fun making do with what you got, but it’s also fun to go fully kitted out and feel cool using strong guns with good scopes, like both is fun and both are totally the normal cycle of the game. I just don’t understand the fear of using fun good gear

[@soap6264]

With the ak why dont you put the little charging handle cover on it? (The one skier ll1 sells)

[@soap6264]

@@eeeeeeee543 i thought it was either the loading/use of the charging handle or it just reduces firing sound, but it doesn't actually reduce sound, maybe i saw it in an spt mod or something and forgot about it, still worth the 3k roubles imo, a bit of extra ergo can be useful and allows you to run a bit more recoil reduction with a foregrip while not harming ergo

I'm getting heavy SVT vibes with the current VSK. Very good ammo, super cheap and actually not a bad weapon. I'd be more than surprised if this thing doesn't get more expensive or the suppressor removed.

[@Nohoth]

Idk I feel like it's good but not that good. The svt could punch wayyyy above its paygrade because of the round it uses. 9x39 rounds are good but it's much harder to get rounds that deal with class 5 armor and above. Honestly I think it's in a good place.

[@dragonfireinfernus336]

@@Nohothclass 5 and class 6 armor is a lot harder to acquire right now due to the flea market banning, so its definitely more viable early wipe.

[@GameKaps]

I noticed again a lot of people talking about cheaters but once again this wipe I’ve encountered none (maybe one?) and at lv 35. I think people are getting over reactive to stats and making assumptions that don’t need to be made. As example last wipe we had someone in our group with no playtime who was carried by us for a bit and has a very high kdr and survival rate and was accused by many people for hacking when he wasn’t. Don’t just automatically assume you are being cheated. I usually have a 20-30 kdr when I play solo and I have never and will never cheat. Stats don’t tell the whole story.

[@zombiejelly4111]

You are the biggest liar and bag dick rider on the planet, people have already shown accounts that have 190kds and no deaths or hundreds of raids zero deaths. Yet you come out and lie

[@TheMasterbean123]

Purely anecdotal like everyone else but I will admit I've had 3 dudes yell and shoot at me through walls to "extract or I'll kill you" or some equivalent, cheating is Def still and will remain a huge issue until they do something more intrusive to remove them imo

[@cornelius2993]

Do people actually know, that the k/d ratio include scav kills? I've a k/d somewhere around 8, survival rate of 72% (Level 11). That sound maybe good, but I killed only 3 PMC's so far. My strategy is to play slow, listening alot and avoid other players as much as I can, because I suck at PVP most of the time. But I like the thrill of escaping all this alive. Sneaky peeky. I had some few strange encounters, where People would hunt me down, despite me sitting somewhere hidden, being totally quiet. They obviously had some additional info, I was there. Or unbelievable fast head -eyes from miles away. But since a long time (about a year) I had absolutely no problems like this. Last wipe had even the biggest number of PMC kills since I started in 2018. That's my experience

[@Betterthanyoustudios]

If you want to avoid cheaters just play pve.... oh wait

[@flawskyy1467]

I’m level 20 and have not ran into one this wipe yet. But you have to think about maps that cheaters will be on. Shoreline, labs, and for some reason I forget the map with the base have the cheaters. But, I ran shoreline and didn’t run into any as of far. Once in a while isn’t game breaking. But last wipe was horrid. This wipe I’ve been having fun again

[@Handcannon77]

Tbh I think any 556 gun feels pretty terrible this wipe, even early on and im sure im not the only one who feels this way. Now maybe its because the servers were kind of dogshit the first 3-4 days of the wipe and part of it was shitty hitreg(which has plagued this game for who knows how long) but there were numerous times within those first 3-4 days of the wipe where I had people eat entirely way too many 855/856a1 rounds when I ALWAYS preaim upper thorax/throat level(to compensate slightly for recoil on shitty m4 builds) when im shooting 5-10 round bursts. Im not sure why it feels worse this wipe compared to last wipe, despite armor being the same but 556 just feels terrible. Now ofc they did say they slightly nerfed some 556 rds damage but I doubt that really had any impact with how small the nerf was. Ive actually been enjoying and having way more success with 5.45 this wipe with them buffing a lot of the calibers damage, and given how accessible it is both in terms of finding BT/BP(or better) in raid and the price point you can get it at from the flee. Love me a good AK-12/RPK/SAG AK build with some BP/7n40/BS, super accurate guns that are relatively easy/cheap to run and I think the 5.45 buff is fairly noticeable.

In addition. About AK handguards: Tan MOE gives more ergo and looks good too. So you have choice now. Grips: At lvl2 -2% or -1,5% recoil handguards are available. So you can customize to your hearts content. And use handguards that you actually like how they look About M4: ADAR to M4 swap is back. Dont neglect it. HIGHLY suggest just explore ALL trader options. Grips, optics (especially optics) on your own. Who knows what you might like.

[@DutchFurnace]

Tiny bit of criticism; these "the best level x trader weapons" videos kinda lose their title definition, if they require higher trader level ammo or flea. I mean, it would be cool if these videos used the hard limitations in terms of "trader access" for the entire weapon build, because the moment you suggest "a" part from flea, you may as well use "any" part from flea, same goes for ammo of course. And that would help "hardcore'/"self restricted" players with your video, and possibly inspire others to play as such if you give clear examples of what is capable at different trader access. Moreover, it gives you two types of distinct videos to make for weapon advice at around the same level; One hard limited at using trader level restrictions to show the current "trader access" state of the game from a more "science" position, and one for more general advice at different stages of a playthrough keeping cost, and "get this from flea" advice and such in mind more for newer players.

this wipe is the easiest wipe ive ever played and im barely even trying this wipe. once you hit lvl 15 you can just buy ammo that shreds lvl4 armor and helmets and with arena being linked to eft through reff and exp you progress too quickly. might not be the case for new players but once you know the game youre zooming. not a fan tbh. they need more restrictions on flea and bring back fir and they need to nerf traders and make them dynamic so you cant just buy whatever you want. make finding good gear in raid exciting again. its not exciting if you can just buy it.

Jesus people will never move on from the cheating shit. I haven’t encountered one obvious cheater this wipe, in fact I’ve actually killed more high level players and looted more kits than I have before using budget weapons. Some people just can’t accept a single death and blame every one of their mistakes on a cheater. I know cheating is a problem in tarkov. But if you’re under the impression that you’re dying to a cheater in every raid, you probably just suck at the game
