RPK all way, fully modded cost less than budget AKs that have similar stats, but with AKs you can go full meta laser beam if you want to

[@VoXEonYT]

@@MrBboy95 Good choice!

[@zenntrox8695]

I like the AK-74N the most. You can craft it for dirt cheap at workbench level 1 and it can take better stocks than the 74M.

[@1bobharvey]

The RPK, but my reasoning is different. I like it cause of the iron sights to cut cost. Replace the rear peep sight with a regular 6p20 sb2 AK rear sight for 500 ruples and add the AKMP night sight adapter for another 500 ruples and you are just as well off as if you added a redot for the grand old price of 1k ruples. When you can easily spend close to 30-100k to put sights on a gun in tarkov running something for short and medium range on 1k budget with a large open view really makes a meta RPK much cheaper especially when used with a XC1 flashlight since iron sights do not wash out when you turn it on like the halo's do. I also just use a black RVG foregrip, moe enhanced pistol grip, and CTR stock if I cant get the meta ones from traders as it works really well while only losing like 3 recoil and ergo each for much cheaper. Most people wont even strip those parts either if you die.

[@zenntrox8695]

The cheapest way to source AKs is to craft them yourself. You only need 1 weapon part (~15k on flea) + the wooden/polymer handguard and stock from prapor to craft the AK-74N (Workbench lvl 1) or AK-74M (Workbench lvl 2). Since you're likely replacing the handguard and might replace the stock, you can recycle them to craft the next AK. Weapons parts can be made even cheaper if you get them from the craft on Workbench lvl 1 where you dismantle a VPO-209 for 2 weapon parts. You can even take off most bits, as it just needs to be functional.

[@dieseIboy]

Exactly this

[@VoXEonYT]

Was gonna touch on this but video was getting long, good point though!

[@jackfriend6559]

But you can get more profit per hour if you craft other stuff and just buy the ak

[@dieseIboy]

@@jackfriend6559 its not about profit, the point is you get free AK-74N with weapon parts which is a great deal.

[@lhd7105]

The use of Troy hand guard and the Troy 4.2-inch and 3.2-inch adapters would take the budget to the stratosphere any how, the budget train has already left....

[@sectero9450]

You can get AK74 (plum) for around 20k its Barter from prapor lvl2(2TP and 2 red teeth paste)

[@elbowman8826]

teeth paste

[@Annathroy]

😂​@@elbowman8826

[@MrErizid]

Prapor has an RPK barter that comes with a drum mag that you can get for 55k. Sell back the drum mag if you dont want it and the RPK only costs 35k.

[@_suko_3656]

7:42 the reason you can't change the handguard on the rpk is because they don't make that many handguards for the ak12 or rpk16 in real life

[@SBeest1]

The trax 1 does not fit the AK-74m. I have no idea how you put it on. Never mind, i removed the gas tube as well. When i put it on it fits :)

[@Mike-89]

See my problem is that half of these parts I can’t find on the flea regularly and I’m not a level 3 or 4 on traders yet. Need some budget builds for lower levels with limited access

[@TomatenDK]

Look at that video quality - holy shit Vox 👌

[@VoXEonYT]

[@TomatenDK]

[@Xerxes17]

The AKS-74U gets overlooked again. You can get some really nice builds on that platform because it starts with a rather high base ergo, and can afford to do things like skimp on the pistol grip to bring the price down while still getting a lot of recoil reduction. Plus, being a shorty, it makes it really nice for indoor fights as the barrel always points forward, even when you're making contact with an obstruction.

[@17gtpdestroyer]

The numbers of the 74U look good on paper, but I feel like the first shot recoil on it is x2 of other AK's.

[@QwoRE112]

@@17gtpdestroyer it’s not that bad this wipe, the recoil on a budget aks 74u feels better than on a m4 that’s more kitted out

[@Varinius]

hard disagree even with mid tier mods its unusable full auto past spit distance, maybe with super high recoil control skills its alright

[@alexpolicht9332]

@@17gtpdestroyer horizontal recoil is super fucky, I like it but only close range mid range barely

[@richm_tv5391]

Love the RPK but unfortunately it is considered an LMG. I can't be having that. Gotta be training my assault rifle recoil stat when I play!

[@VoXEonYT]

That is true...but the sex appeal!

[@TheMrPandabeast]

It still levels up your assault rifle skill

[@Zeddy-zq1lc]

I usually avoid the RPK as it feels like it has more recoil. After seeing this I’ll be giving them another run with the longer barrel though that’s for sure.

[@MrErizid]

RPK's problem is the faster fire rate makes the higher recoil feel 10 times worse.

[@hellhound3785]

I would like the rpk if it had a suppressor and still those stats

[@LoLZuPaLZu1]

Just subbed for u, gotta say ur vids are great and content is good! keep up the good work m8

[@VoXEonYT]

Thanks gamer 👍🏻

[@tractordawg]

The recoil effect remids me of that old mobile game where you tap the screen to jump and try to land on the platforms.

[@___m16]

How do you get the stats of the ak to show in top left whilst in weapon Smith. ? Great video thanks , new sub

[@shuggy131]

Keep these coming voxe. Especially love the spreadsheets so I can easily access them later :)

[@OnionGamerr]

that budget ak holy it slaps from time to time but i personally using ak 12 handguard and stock it have bit better recoil tho

[@thishandleistaken1011]

74m has better autocontrol convergence stat and lower camera recoil IIRC, making it the best. could be wrong on this

[@R3shar]

that Meta AK-74M build is showing me it costs 1.8 MILLION rubles. How did you get this for 260,000?

[@sniperdude213]

Could you do a review on what is the best amo type for the 5.45x39 for early players??

[@petem7633]

If you don’t mind the woods map, I always find either BS and BT at silencer house near checkpoint, it’s outside behind the weapon box. I can find 30 to 120 packs of BS BT almost always. The tiers for 5.45x39 ammo are ps, pp, bp , bt , bs , ppbs If you run and loot this area a few times you should have some nice amounts of bt at least to give you decent pen at the start

[@budrothefox3666]

I like the RPK a lot. It's got some downsides but it's a good all arounder, decent weapon for customs, reserve, shoreline. If it could use the reactor muzzle device it would be the best by far!

[@antony2527]

The recoil isn't the problem. The fire rate and the bullet punch is more important.

[@Psychobob]

I wouldn't ever run a gun that didn't look awesome. Meta shit never does.

[@meandab]

Pick up weapon parts while in raid every once in awhile, or sks from scav to break down, buy handguard and stock from prapor, craft 74N, keep handguard and stock for next 74N, sell on flea for 34k. Use funds to buy 74M. Sell the parts you replace to offset the flea market price of selling the 74N and bam you practically free 74Ms forever. This is particularly good if you are low level like me, as you can do the mechanic lvl 1 zenitco pp trade and take all the furniture, giving you a very nice budget gun for around 60k after you sell all the unused parts and invest in a muzzle device.

[@KillianConanMiller]

I was watching it thinking that the recoil of that gun would be 5.45.

[@lhd7105]

VoX_E you mentioned that JMAC is leading muzzle brake (at this time code kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXPdgmVuZcd1o5I), but I bought one and can't attach it. Doing a linked search doesn't seem to work. Oh I see my mistake, I tried to attach it to RPK-16 which is explicitly not on the compatibility list for the JMAC. Oops.

[@nobody22222]

Aks are the way to go. They are underrated, not sure why people choose m4s over them. They are cheaper on every aspect.

[@drewmorg.]

5.45 ammo is garbage at the moment. M4 get down to the 20's in recoil.

[@johndoc8098]

Maybe we cannot bought Bs or 7n39 just like 855a1?

@@VoXEonYT That one have flat +10 recoil right? Still good enough, its what probably most of the people use this weapon with anyway.

[@azell2913]

just saying oh its 36 recoil is kinda clickbait because a gun with better default recoil pattern while saying its 50 recoil can actually be better than the 36

[@VaCulprit]

Thanks

[@jonwinfield9193]

Honestly I'd just avoid 5.45 in general this wipe. Juice ain't worth the squeeze. Same with 5.56 but to a lesser degree.

[@Shoutenkou]

5.56 is pretty decent when you unlock M856A1. But I definitely agree, seems like DMRs rule the current meta, both weapon and ammo wise.

[@KaiUndMoritz]

Just because of the new influx of newbies that dont want to waste 150€ on this game you should have also added an aks74u build. Its a weapons used for the punisher p3 questline to kill 25 scavs on customs but thus video is still gona help me out so ty

When your “budget” builds involve multiple parts from LL3 traders, I can’t get behind that… sorry man.
