Thanks!

[@57harrierstrikes]

All the top 7.62x39s are broken on purpose because Nikita was mad nobody used them late game pre-Mutant.

[@MrJaldal]

You taking the wooden stock instead of the black polymer one made me cry and scream for about 15 mins....

[@SpookySkeletonDD]

Your content is top tier and analytical… weird that Skier sells it for free. Fantastic! And thank you.

[@cyanicdreams]

@gigabeef what do you think about doing an analysis on the topic of aiming and firing before fully finishing the animation and how accurate the mid animation mag dump is

[@Gigabeef]

Hmm more recoil vids? I'll think about it - in my experience you're always better off aiming first, or pointfiring the whole time. Mixing them tends to result in a super slow ADS I feel

[@Bursar60]

Even before removal, don't think I ever saw it, always the sag 545s, besides being able to but it myself that is

[@iliketrains-zq4jv]

What about a video explaining layered armor and if it does anything? (I.e condor glasses underneath a face shield)

[@Gigabeef]

Would love to test this - haven't got around to it yet though

[@pagingdoctorsideburns]

Maybe it's just me but the Mutant being like 2kg lighter is kind of a big deal to me. Staying underweight feels significant due to inertia, quick repositions/retreats, and staying quiet while sneaking.

[@Gigabeef]

Yeah that's a fair point, RD is a hefty beast

[@GmodFilmsTR]

oh dude get max strenght its so much nicer to play when you're underweight all the time.

[@tacocat0436]

The Fab Defense UAS AK stock is actually a better buttpad alternative. It has the same recoil, gives 11 more ergo and it only costs 13k.

[@LikeACrouton]

Found one in a woods stash, slapped some basic mods on it. Killed 2 people with PS in it on customs. Felt good

[@ryanbolson23]

Why is it that every time BSG releases new guns, one of them will be the newest meta stats gun? Like why do they continuously pull that power curve up? How come they can’t just release balanced guns that’ll fit well in the existing game state?

[@topgunne12]

Maybe that's the Russian way. Gaijin does the same for their games.

[@ryanbolson23]

@@topgunne12 you know that’s very true. I never thought of it but I’ve heard that before.

[@method0409]

Streamers wouldn´t have OP guns to run with 2 days after the wipe, thats why :D Tbh, i dont know why, but i feel exactly the same way. Bring back the status quo of december 2020, but without the 800k bitcoin bullshit. We were able to craft decent amounts of ammo and the weapons felt balanced compared to today (I know, VAL was complete bullshit, but anyways)

[@ryanbolson23]

@@method0409 I started play the wipe right before that, but as I was new at the time I had no valid perspective of what was good balance

[@lazycalf8150]

So people will use it and test it properly..

[@MrReichennek]

BP being behind more aggressive barriers has made this so much better of wipe.

[@John-Is-My-Name]

I usually dont like these kinds of videos because the builds I can just find out myself in edit preset. But this one gave a whole lot different info that I didnt know so thanks for that! For example the suppressor barter and I havent thought about using the cheap wooden stock for a cheap but good build.

[@peterdutton4083]

The rubber buttpad is overpowered bro, use it on every AK build. Wouldn't even bother swapping it out

[@Gigabeef]

Nice one. I try hard to add something special to each vid :)

[@blindshot709]

still haven't found one , using the ol AKM with a 50 round drum

[@stranger7150]

This weapon may be good, but i am still gonna use MP7A2/P90

[@cameronbethea123]

High rof low recoil Smg ammunition with 40+ pen is op, unrealistic, and shouldn’t be in the game change my mind. AP pistol calibers should cap out at 35 pen at the ABSOLUTE MAX.

[@phoenixfire9176]

p90 is dogwater, mp7 is simply superior

[@stranger7150]

@@phoenixfire9176 Well, P90 is better than MP7 if you use 4.6x30 subsonic or FMJ. Of course, MP7 on AP SX is the best SMG in game, but on other rounds - p90 is better

[@phoenixfire9176]

@@stranger7150 no, the mp7 is better with all of its round except action.

[@stranger7150]

@@phoenixfire9176 P90 has 50 round mags that do not require lvl 40 to unlock, and sb193 has a more flesh damage and a little bit less pen, but that don't matter because of the firerate. Yes, you can't load ammo in the mags in raid, it is too slow, so that sucks

[@kurdistanindependance5471]

Ive noticed the attachable iron sights for acog scopes are pretty good at minimizing camera recoil and considering acog is pretty cheap its worth checking out for budget build

[@gemini_1085]

I'd like to see it compared to an AK104 since that is essentially what RD wanted to copy

[@agamer4891]

ak-104 is dogshit compared to this. they need to add a good suppresor for the ak 103 and 104.

[@brandon0981]

Serious question - what's your recoil / assault rifle skill in this? I have the "Meta" build that's shown in this video and my cross-hairs still bounce up crazy and never settle back to original position during a 30 round mag. Don't really understand what's going on.

[@Gigabeef]

Literally only 5. You have to pull down and then push back up a bit to "control" the recoil

[@brandon0981]

@@Gigabeef Ahh so that's what it is. I was working on that but I guess I'll just have to practice more, thanks!

[@dabinhaler1337]

used this in meta mode last night for the first time, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@sapfps9540]

the RD paired with a recoil mitigator , se5 and a MOE stock is just absurd.

[@eb2558]

Hi mate, can you do a video on the best scav case option for profit or kappa/quest items please???

[@NicholasLaRosa0496]

Without a doubt, the moonshine. I only use Intel for keys. Literally my first moonshine had an RSASS. Plus you can get tank batteries. Moonshine for the most part, breaks even on the worst ones. Very much worth it.

[@Gigabeef]

For profit is tough, I've started just doing the cheap one because it's practically impossible to lose money over about 10 tries. Before I was using moonshine for quest/kappa though - samples stims, tank battery, all streamer items are common in the moonshine case

[@iam3Ga]

great content, thank you

[@kingterry6045]

I have to pull down on it too much for that initial shot or two on the Rd-704, I like my ak-105 as I can laser it.

[@michealnelsonauthor]

Just grabbed my 2nd, out of an air drop again. Lol. Now I'll pull it back out and run it, lol. Getting closer to Prapor 3 so I can get more BP, doh.

[@sirskorge]

CHILLLL VOICE, CHEERS BUD

[@maxwilliams5015]

Honestly the “meta” is really annoying I feel like attachments in general should be balanced more and collectively nerfed

[@wi1h]

unless they reduce recoil across the board, hell no

[@yif1274]

I will never understand how a rifle dynamics 104 clone is better than the legit 104. In real life ill tell you it has much more problems than a Russian made 104.

[@Act1veSp1n]

They locked it out of lower levels. Good that I bought up a ton of them before the lock.

[@shpenki7927]

dude always such good content. even though i watch most of your videos about how to get the best weapon, i find myself only using MP-153 and magnum buckshot. why? haha

@@213SmokeyBadazz Sounds more like gear fear, not uncommon

[@timofaust1315]

You are a man of culture. Don't let people tell you differently. The only weapon that comes close to the feeling of a MP 153 / 155 is the Smash 12.

[@Psalmanzar]

Could you make/can someone link a video about the flee 'reputation' idk if I'm just stupid but it seems to progress at a horribly slow rate and I can't seem to get it to even 30 in weeks/months

[@DasPartyPooper]

Check out airwingmarine if you want flee rep guides, mans at like 60 atm

[@Gigabeef]

It just takes freakin ages. I'm at 25, in short it goes off the value of goods sold - and to get to 30 rep you have to sell 150m rubles of stuff, that's why it seems hard!

[@GmodFilmsTR]

hope they bring back 556 to the meta next wipe.

Hey I’m a new player on this game, which map would you suggest to start getting more loot?

[@eduardorodriguez2032]

Interchange the map is small and the extracts are easy to learn

[@Gigabeef]

Honestly woods is not bad if you can learn where you are and the extracts. There's tonnes of loot because it's a bit spread out and its (relatively) easy to avoid firefights - especially so with the stashes. Shoreline stashes are also not bad

[@swagy6012]

I can build a 48 recoil akmn for 160 w/o scope. Budget slayer

[@grahamhawes7089]

AKs are unbeatable value but you have to run them loud. Playing solo I really like having a suppressor so I don’t get third partied as much. I guess now you can slap the best in slot suppressor on the AKM but then the price is comparable

[@walkerofpauls2710]

AKMs are easier to get if you hold on to tushonka for the barter too. The ergo and compact size really make the RD better but I’d rather run a mutant for the RPM and I like the sound and reload better. Plus Mk47 is lot lighter than any other 7.62 AK. Wish we had good barters for RD, Mk47, SR25 with the flea bans :(

[@cha0ss0ldier-4]

RD has way better hidden stats than the AKMN.

Been using a 350k+ build of this... it's really good. But kinda expensive.

[@Gigabeef]

Yeah punchy haha

[@Name-xs3bd]

personally I still think the mutant is king. The 600 RPM just doesn’t feel good to me. Fine gun still and sure the mutant is only 50rpm more, but after using both this wipe especially with the mutant getting another buff in the form of allowing the PRS suppressor, it just feels significantly better.

[@Cursedone12]

It's like M4 vs hk. You can run more ergo and lower recoil on the Rd but the mutant has more raw stopping power

[@Colin-kh6kp]

I like the slow rate of fire because I find that you win or lose gunfights depending on who has to reload first.

[@animalm4st3r]

5.45 is just so annoying to comeby / unlock compared to 7.62

[@tiendoan6417]

5.45 price is way too high for what they offer honestly.

[@RuskiVodkaaaa]

wtf I never knew they locked BP behind grenadier... I swear Tarkov is just starting to appeal to streamers/no lifes... 99% of the players playing this game wont ever unlock BP because people dont have the time too. They need to buff how much BP you get in the hideout from a craft that long... 120 is just a joke, barely enough for 1 raid after 16+ hours. Imo buff it to atleast 200 rounds...
