Gigabeef, something that i think will make for a good video for you. Unmodded, particularly IRON SIGHTS are actually very useable this patch due to the recoil camera changes. In patches previous, many iron sight full auto guns like the M4 were literally UNSUSABLE as the player didnt even properly line up the sights with the aperture. Now this has been fixed and i have been running many raids with a standard m4 with a 10 inch barrel and suppressor with iron sights. People are always surprised to see me with a gun with such little modification and even more surprised when they see how little recoil it has.

[@gavinray9493]

The RPK has stellar iron sights as well. I like the 10k Walther MRS sight though, and 10k is essentially nothing.

[@The_Centurion_YT]

7.62 AK glow sights are amazing

[@Sunrax_]

Ah yes, another video that I love to watch but will not be able to utilize because I’m still too broke for even this. Anyway, thanks beef :)

[@Gigabeef]

These are SUPPOSED to be the cheapest on offer! Check out the RFB one - you can buy it for 8k... 🥳

[@anthonyumbro5427]

Mosin Nagant is your best friend

[@ShadowSixx]

Play arena or scav bro, this game isn’t that hard

[@greenteaenjoyer9068]

Lmao what do you want? BSG to give you guns for free because you dont understand the game? Im a 1st wipe player with 100h playtime and I sit at 25 million worth of stash. Just scav and look for someone to teach you the game

[@brock.a]

The mosin is the great equalizer. Have killed many PMCs with a sawn off mosin as a scav.

[@Tw33k07]

I'm convinced RFB with a Specter scope is the best bang for buck, most versatile gun in the game.

[@SteveHarvey272]

I used various 5.45x39 rounds I picked up until Trader 2, then ran the VSK until Trader 3, then ran 7.62x39 PP until Trader 4, now running mostly M80/whatever seems fun. I quite liked the feel of ammo progression this wipe, it never felt like I was incapable of dealing with PMCs at any point- mostly I think due to the Flea restrictions limited people to Trader gear for a while. The standout surprise for me was the VSK, a gun I never ran before but came to really enjoy. Having SP-5 so early is great for early game progression to get over that hump until you unlock something with decent pen. Shoutout to military camp on Woods, definitely got me through early wipe. There are so many nooks and crannies that spawn high quality ammo that no one ever checks, like the guard towers. Can't tell you how many boxes of PPBS, flechette, or 55A1 I pulled from there, even super late in raid after the camp had been looted by PMCs and Scavs.

[@nemanjasavic3389]

I wish I got to enjoy the VSK as much as you have though SP-5 kept letting me down even early on. However the VSS/VAL with SPP slaps even geared bois with ease. Totally agree about PP too. Hope you keep enjoying your wipe!

[@Tonyisgaming]

Vector .45 drops PMCs 1-2 clicks center body mass using the 2 round burst. The 2 rounds are like an AN94 as recoil does not effect your second round with the high fire rate and low recoil. 30 rounders are better than high round mags because Vector reloads quickly AND mags pack faster than any mag in the game. I literally empty a mag slower than I reload it. That’s a huge advantage in timed raids. I bring 300 .45 ACP and never feel like my mags are emptying.

[@anotherkenlon]

If you want to suppress the aksu, I recommend scavving lighthouse and scooping up supressors off the rogues.

[@vaclavmajer5488]

huge benefit of the svt-40...literally nobody is taking it if you die, not even the scope since they cannot use it on other weapons they use so far it came back in insurance 6 times

[@tillercaesar-kq4ou]

Not true. I lost at least 1, possibly 2. I’m saving my avt now

[@tenarmurk]

The MP9 from Ref 2 is insane

[@michaele1564]

No mention of 556 SOST ammo? It's better than M855 and fills in the gap to 856a1 for bottom of mags. Same with 545 pp

[@g00bergob94]

It's barely better and harder to obtain. SOST is around double the price of M855 on the flea for what? SOST is likely to kill against class 4 on shot number 4 while M855 is likely to kill against class 4 on shot number 5. SOST also has slightly more recoil. I just don't think it's worth it, you might as well just jump to M856A1 if you're even considering SOST and don't already have it in your stash.

[@Orrissan]

@@g00bergob94 Interestingly, I have found a TON of SOST around reserve. Dunno why but it seems like it spawns way more than the other's of that caliber. They are also all big boxes.

[@g00bergob94]

@ It definitely spawns far more often than boxes of M855.

[@senttiee]

@@Orrissansame here. I've been running scav raids and getting 1-2 boxes of SOST per raid on Reserve once I learned the loose and dedicated spawns for ammo boxes.

[@legacyyang4874]

The VSK has a flashlight laser mount from a tier 2 trader now, either skier or peacekeeper

[@andrewcanosa]

It feels like they increased the spawn chance of good ammo, a lot of good NATO 7.62 boxes

[@Xalrider]

they did last wipe, very good change

[@mosin9349]

It’s kind of universal for rifle ammo, except for 7.62x39 (in my experience), but PP is on the flea for that caliber. Smugglers camp on Shoreline is a must scav location for ammo.

[@KapteinFruit]

Man, Im always poor because I don't play often enough. Scaving is how I don't drown. Earlier today I was scavving and I was running out of time, so I hit some kind of transition point which I didn't know was a thing, then I died with all my nice loot. :( RIP

[@gabe772]

Accidentally transitioned on my first pmc raid on ground zero. Luckily I spawned next to the vehicle extract on streets and had the money to take it.

[@spaclock808]

You can alt f4 right after the transit and end up back in your stash when you load back in

[@KapteinFruit]

@@spaclock808 Good to know, thanks.

[@Matkatamiba]

I usually just use the Vector 45 or the Ref P90 with so-so flesh rounds and aim for heads. If they have face protection, then shoot kneecaps. Other people in the group have longer range or more well-rounded options, but I can still spray at intermediate range and trigger a lot of heavy bleeds before pushing. I find that I end up spending most of my budget on rounds anyways, so it's hard to be budget with several mags full of AP when you end up using it on scavs or dying. The guns at least come back often.

[@deepspacewanderer9897]

3:48 and if you don't want to go mad, use .45 Vector in burst mode. Still good DPS, manageble ammo consumption, barely any recoil.

[@Glaedr11]

I'm new to tarkov and have been trying out every gun and last night I made a budget AK104 with a one times sight and I was genuinely surprised by how good it felt to use the gun. I I survived multiple raids with PvP and eventually looted a specter and actually gotta kill with full auto spray at full magnification. Very enjoyable to use it

[@SmithyD86]

Enjoy new player, the learning curve is basically a vertical cliff the size of Everest but once you get up there the games ridiculously deep, it's brilliant for those who enjoy building guns

[@253MC]

for me, you cant beat the g36 for value. it’s almost free, has laser beam recoil and great ammo.

[@nemanjasavic3389]

The AK-103 can benefit from the -3% recoil TRAX 1+2 combo from Mechanic LL2. Slap along an RRD-4C and a grip of choice and you're ready to ruin someone's day haha. Good video as always Gigabeef!

[@biglootums5243]

Running a super light build MPX with just a canted sight has been hard carrying me this wipe big time. And way more affordable than building any of the big guns

[@connormiddleton8261]

solid list! ive been loving the p90 once u get pc3 ammo

[@thexrealxtobi5361]

i actually like the recoil on the ak 104/103 more than the akm, even fully modded the recoil on the akm shoots up and to the right after 5 or so shots so the lower recoil is barely felt if at all

[@CanofSprats]

Born to pvp, forced to use bolt actions.

[@scottp7937]

I used AK 74U quite a bit this wipe and have retired it. It's the horizontal recoil that makes it so bad. Even with waffle suppressor it's no good. Just use something else like AK12 or AK-74M if you want to use that calibre.

[@longplaylegends]

Am I crazy in saying that something about the MP9 has always felt kinda' off? Like the initial little jump in recoil, and then very little recoil, feels less controllable in real situations?

[@jaimewilson3644]

Maybe I’m new but I never woulda guessed gigabeef had kids. I always thought he was a youngster himself.

[@nigelbranch9634]

I wonder if one of them is called megabeef

[@benver.4374]

The 🍤 not being on the list is criminal. Level 2 proper with 24k suppressor with BT at ref 3 makes its under 100k including ammo

[@piajibxp5049]

Can hellofresh deliver to Norvinsk area? cuz I am fed up with Tushonka and peas every single day.

[@Qttyy]

Using 9x19 with something slower than 900rpm is basically suicide. You can even buy modded uzi pro on peacekeeper for super cheap barter which is night and day compaerd to the standard one

[@cascarudoFPS]

Great resume, thanks

[@Scarecr0wn]

Shotguns feel useless now, at leas for me. I am considering just ignoring setup this wipe, the quest was always annoying but now it´s just awful.

[@davidbernal9503]

Watching this whole video and then only running 545 guns, because I have a load of BP and BS, and it's just not worth running worse ammo.

[@jasontheranga9769]

15:05 nice

[@Kvochur]

Great video and great sponsor! Yummy!

[@Propeezee]

Well done!

[@jasonjavelin]

Really disappointed with where 5.56 is this wipe. Not being able to buy any decent ammo even at lvl 3 traders is crazy

[@alphaxbox3728]

Yah its crazy how little 5.56 there is mid wipe. Start of and end of feels like where its strongest and it just falls off otherwise.

[@SebastijanStanivuk]

surprised that there is no ppsh

[@noxy8763]

Nice vid !

[@summerschoolduh]

Do you have any recommendations for a new player that has a bit more money? I’m trying to find builds that are 200K-400K and I’m afraid I’m making mistakes with my own build

[@OG__GreenCrack]

The svt added here is just criminal, looks like you’ll see a shitload of these again lol

[@gonewhaling3984]

Why would I be surprised that you have a beautiful family beef? You’re a damn stud!

[@Chevalier_knight]

I really dislike the g36c its horizontal bloom is awful i would take any other 556 into raid.

[@alexanderquilty5705]

12:34 Shooting out of confusion bc Tarkov.

[@FrostyPumpernickle]

Uzi pro pst ammo all day

[@ham7357]

There’s just too much to this game for anyone with a life to keep up with

[@Matkatamiba]

Playing Arena for money is the only way I'm able to keep up with people who no-life it. The pay to win editions of the game also don't help at all.

[@moos3h212]

Budget!

[@Scrilian]

Giga

[@ganthrithor]

I'm still at trader 2 and finding it pretty frustrating honestly: there's no OK ammo from traders for basically any caliber and everyone is running lvl 4 armor or better, so your only option is basically to go for faces and legs unless you can afford ridiculous fleamarket prices for decent ammo. Since you have to hit faces anyway I have been using a lot of 5.45 long AKs: I often run HP since nothing available has any pen anyway but HP can one-shot legs (or faces, of course). I just try and play like I'm using a bolt-action: be sneaky and patient and try and get the headshots. Overall this game still feels real hard.

[@g00bergob94]

If you're at Prapor 2 you can buy SP-5. The velocity is terrible so sniping will be quite difficult but at short range it'll tear through class 3 and get through class 4 with enough hits. Far more reliable than aiming at legs with 5.45 HP or something.

[@SebastijanStanivuk]

flea market destroys the game
