It's sad to see how far the Vepr hunter has fallen. I remember spawning as a scav with m61. Man, those were the days.

[@zombieranger3410]

The Vepr Hunter used to be my favorite budget run in woods or shoreline, not only is it a cheap .308 semi, but its also very unique in its design and cool to see a civilian hunting gun go toe-to-toe with most other guns. Who would win? Some ex-U.S. military PMC equipped with the latest protection and weapons? Or An eastern European local with a fishing vest, a fistful of .308, and a full wood hunting AK.

[@blinkshot159]

They did a great thing with the alientech muzzle for M4's. Making a loud build same or even better recoil than silenced is something that should be more prevelent. Another thing is ammo.. I don't mind it not being craft only, but I think everyone would appreciate if you could find decent ammo more commonly laying around instead of 5.45 all the time. And great video, the pacing is good

[@benallmon5613]

Yeah only finding 545 ammo sucks. I'll occasionally find 855 but we can buy that so its not even worth picking up. I always check ammo boxes too, as that is the only somewhat reliable way to find good ammo. But taking high tier ammo from traders was the right thing to do. Made helmets relevant again.

[@blinkshot159]

@@benallmon5613 For sure. It's not even like I'm desperate for good ammo since can just cycle craft and some mid tier ammo can be bought. But would be nice to find more than 13 pieces of M993 at a time every once in 50 raids lol

[@takingday]

I think the one thing that probably shouldn't be too RNG is ammo, attachments/weapons can come back in insurance but not ammo I'm fine with some ammos being craft only but it should be worth it and right now 9mm PBP,.300 blackout AP and many others are not worth the craft time/price and I think that a middle ground for bosses, rogues, raiders, guards and cultists spawning with good ammo is they should be top loaded so 5-10 good rounds per mag making it more available but not too common and ammo boxes in high danger areas should be guaranteed to spawn at least 30-60 rounds of high tier ammo.

[@mouthwashlisterine2104]

[@metops8783]

idk why they dont just balance the game, instead of making all the guns except a select few shit, just change the attachments stats so u dont see m4a1 SAI QD 14" handguard every time. Make ergo more important aswell.

[@MashPotatoJohns]

The guns are balanced like that because it's realistic. People think that's dumb but there are hundreds of FPS games that have guns that aren't great IRL more balanced so that people use them more. In COD guns from WW2 are meta sometimes, but Tarkov is immersive. If you were in a weird fucked up place like tarkov IRL most people would be using AR-15s and modern AKs if they had the choice. Nobody's making you only run the M4. You can still enjoy the douzens of viable guns that are a little worse than the meta. I use guns that I just think are cool all the time. Most fights aren't just a DPS battle. Tarkov isn't a competitive shooter. It's a Milsim survival game (or at least it tries to be) It doesn't need to have all guns be balanced.

[@ghiidra__]

@@MashPotatoJohns it's not DPS in the slightest lol it's that the m4 is one of the few guns that can be modded to have a reasonable amount of recoil. If you want to make a realism/immersion argument then TONS of guns should get a recoil buff. also attachments don't make nearly so big of a difference in gun handling IRL

[@JRaney]

@@MashPotatoJohns Tarkov guns are so far from realistic that it's not even funny. IRL guns don't have recoil that throws your aim to the sky. In fact, a stock M4 has about as much recoil IRL as the meta build in tarkov. Most guns behave VERY differently than tarkov would have you believe. Most SMGs have little to no recoil at all, especially if they have muzzle brakes or suppressors. And the recoil on pistols is actually retarded.

[@squidwardo7074]

They really need to bring some of the ammo back to the traders. Even BP. The problem wasnt the ammo it was always the fact the other guns had to high recoil. Now there isnt a point in doing task because you cant buy good ammo. Now you either need to get lucky and kill someone with the ammo, or wait 30hours to craft them.

[@CorruptionAura]

Maybe like 5 to 10 bullets a reset, not having top tier available to buy is a good thing, but it should be more readily dropped from enemies or boxes

Best tarkov video ever made

[@GlockInASock995]

I would love to see a tarkov geographic video on the rarest species in tarkov: Mounted weapons users, specifically the AGS-30 user. I quit tarkov, but when I played I would often go into reserve as a hatchling and go to the nearest AGS-30 grenade launcher. If I spawned back behind black pawn/dropdown building I would get on the ags above the bunker and light up anyone who spawned at dome, and if I spawned at dome I would watch the whole map. I would get sniped a lot, but I had over 3500 pmc kills using it, and it is one of the most fun ways I have played tarkov. It's even more fun when you have a squad and you can watch over them, or if you have a teammate you can bait to die out in the open so you can blow up the looters. It's also a great thing to know how to use and I have wiped out many snipers at dome, snipers in the towers, squads by heating pipe, train station, and gluhar because of seeing where they are and knowing if I can blow them up. You should give it a try

Im holding out hope for the MCX. BSG is reworking the way suppressors work so that subsonic rounds ACTUALLY make a difference compared to supersonic ones, so staying quiet will be much harder. The VSS/ASVAL/MCX are all going to benefit from that change a ton. Couple that with a reducing recoil (because its a subsonic round, duh) and this could be a meta-quiet build weapon if the devs are able to pull it off. Im praying things go well so I can rat even harder.

[@darkally1235]

A truly endangered species is the hatchetling. Once a common strat for low cost looting, they are now ruthlessly hunted by scavs. Your video really demonstrates the adage "guns make the hits but ammo makes the kills." A gun which can no longer make hits because of a recoil change or can't make kills because ammo isn't available won't be used.

[@tyrnriscards6238]

[@yesanameirequested1682]

personally, pistols are something of a rarity, even in factory, since: why use a pistol, if you could just get a smg, mod that, and then rip everyone in your path. Stirrup quest is mostly just disregarded, since you get negative rep from traders, that are hard-ish to get back.

[@zombieranger3410]

Used to be that you get a movement bonus when you have a pistol out, if they tweaked the systems then they would be viable again, but BSG’s plates are so full that best case scenario they might buff pistols in 2028. I’m still upset 7.62x25 can’t go through class III like IRL.

Can you put the MK47 mutant users there too? Those guys have been slowly dying off. I feel like I'm the only one left that uses the MK47 mutant for fun, and have seen so little mutant users. I've seen 4 of them for the last 2 wipes. I've teamed up with them a couple times just because we were using MK47 mutant. We used to call ourselves MK47 gang, and would generally piss people off because the recoil is so little for the gun, and ammo but in exchange it's expensive. Those guys have been offline the last 2 wipes ago. God I miss those guys.

The way they've soft removed certain ammo types from the game is just stupid. Ok, so no flea for stuff like SSA AP, 995, PBP, they're all too good, gotta find em. That's fine, I'll go fight raide- no, they dont spawn with good ammo like at all anymore. Ok, I'll hit ammo box- no, its a stupidly rare chance to get it, and its only up to a partial stack anyway. If the ammo isnt craftable, its basically removed from the game, straight unobtanium. Even the labs chads are rocking 856A2 and 855A1 because its whats available.

[@squidwardo7074]

I like not being able to buy good ammo, and I don't think you should be able to craft it either. But it should be all over the place on reserve and in military areas on maps. The new event was a good way to do it, because you only get enough for 1-2 raids so not an OP amount either and you have to fight other pmcs to get it.

[@shrimplomein6509]

@@squidwardo7074 That's my biggest problem - making it FiR only basically turned them all into Evasion armbands, ridiculous odds to find them and entirely luck based. Even if the rarity was as such that you could find like 40 rounds a raid while consistently looking for it it would be workable.

Fun video as always. Regarding feedback for the pacing: Honestly, I watched this on 1.25 and it felt just a tad bit too fast, but i got used to it after two minutes. But 1x definitely drags on a bit. If I had to guess, you could speed up the commentary by 15% and it would be perfect. Otherwise the pacing of narration and scenes was well balanced, no issues there.

Honestly, I still feel ergo should effect ads walk speed. Not a huge amount, but it would give high ergo smgs a good edge as you can move faster at the cost of increased recoil.

The one thing I'm curious see how the meta is gonna shift with the addition of supressor durability and interactions with non sub sonic ammo. Along with more accurate armor hitboxes.
