[@alexmaurice4274]

Did they say why ar15 Lowers were removed this wipe?

[@asdafagl9098]

Going by the Twitch Chat, this is literally the most anticipated video ever

[@betajosh]

Thanks for coming back for this wipe with the build videos! I'm honestly here just to watch you build despite having my presets for each trader already. Wanted to thank you because one of your AK101/102 builds from a long while back is one of my favourites that I still run today!

[@benmjs]

You also could have mentioned the MP9. Dirt cheap and a laser beam ! Great vid as always 😊

[@lilyahmeener]

So happy to see you back man, missed your uploads. Genuinely part of the reason I got so into Tarkov when I was first put on the game. ✌️

[@Hombremaniac]

This wipe with its changes has brought quite a lot of folks back. I love it!

[@williamfinucane]

The MP5SD and G36 are 2 guns in my video game history that go all the way back to PS1 and PS2. So glad to be able to use all the guns in this game finally

[@MuzluPattes16]

If I am not wrong, we have access to 7.62x25 PSt which has +5 pen compared so 9x19 PSt. On top of that the new recoil changes made PPSh a much more viable gun. Add to that cheap 70 rounder drum mags and you have a viable smg comparex to 9x19.

[@Merlin3101]

Yo J I am always watching your videos, even tho most of the time I already know those builds, but it is really enjoyable to watch you build the guns with gameplay in between it! Keep it up!

[@Radiance141]

Cool video! Keep up the good work, I'm so excited to see you returning to doing eft content, I loved your builds videos back in the day, a couple years ago...

[@aaronbisme]

I was looking for this exact video yesterday. Glad you got to it

[@Drag0n22]

glad you are back, im just comming back to tarky myself and im happy to see you making vids about it again.

[@XxGhostProxyxX]

great video i miss the overall cost at the end of each build but i missed these builds so much and i didnt even know it im just happy to see you back

[@JDogth3Wise]

My problem with that was the prices always changed and then it was wrong haha

[@michealnelsonauthor]

I especially love the standard parts concept. Going with the same foregrip & sight,etc, let’s you simply sell everything else and use the preset system to quickly build any preferred guns. Gg. S-tier idea, bro.

[@RodneyXheals]

Been waiting for this video! Thanks

[@omarbenattia774]

Missed your vids man welcome back to Tarkov enjoying your content for sure

[@TheGreythreat]

Whipped out the G36 build and instantly got 2 pmc kills on my first raid with it. Great tip! Subscribed!

[@ZachWF91]

For a first time player this wipe, info like this is appreciated. subbed!

[@lammy2140]

Best sub you've ever made, have fun in tarkov!

[@ThrdCardofDeath]

Nice builds! Thanks Mr wise man

[@VoidedVisuals]

Love your videos man keep it up

[@nuusain996]

Super useful vid as always man. One thing for next time is to add the totals for each build like you used to, cost is one of the main deciding factors on what to run so having it on screen would be extra helpful.

[@TheTempler22]

Would love to use these setups, too bad I’m stuck using an mp series shotgun with ushanka and scav vest

[@arcane_peasant6416]

relatable xD

[@Snugglable]

Same. Lmfao

[@PulsionTV_]

Thank you

[@easytargetjay4641]

Thanks for this man, much needed here

[@JDogth3Wise]

Glad I could help

[@easytargetjay4641]

G36 new gun to me but love the build for lvl 2 traders, hope it progresses with the lvl3 traders

[@nekomancer4641]

Biggest struggle at LL2 i find is to be able to run good armor consistent. Hence i was running.366 EKO quite a bit

[@mazi259]

Would love to see level 3 and 4 traders.

[@TheNorthingNL]

I found in this patch because the red dots are more stable the Skier LL1 MRS scope to be the best early game this wipe. I completely stopped using the Kobra.

[@maxfern5701]

I was using it too but noticed earlier that it's terrible against snow, like it's too light and barely visible. Not sure if some other red dots are better.

[@adiennika24]

Would love to use these. However I swear half my early game is quest from lvl2-3 traders saying you have to use xyz when your here.

[@agurko1038]

nice builds definitely gonna use these 🐷

[@soljah1126]

With the new weapon rack, you should get some of these weapons marked as favorites (and provide your in game name) so you can share the builds easily!!

[@arcadeslum5882]

🤔???

[@neen4456]

I think the Valday Krechet for about 15k from Prapor LL2 is a solid replacement to Jaeger's 15k Kobra. Worse Ergo and pretty tall, but very clean dot on the reticle. For the same price, it's an insanely crisp optic.

[@xxfortniteslayer69xx82]

id rather have iron sights than the krechet tbh

[@austinkeen4577]

Easily one of the tarkov videos I've seen+

[@soigotthisnewanimeplot3162]

hey j dog, were you ever a librarian or maybe a history teacher? great vid as always

[@CatsHaveEars]

LOL at the shameless ad read

[@hillbillytrucker5980]

Well done bud.

[@obconic]

There's still meta builds, but now they're ergo based for the quicker and quieter ADS

[@TheWorldsprayer]

Are the reports that the deltapoint used on the g36 in this video has an impact point in the center of the triangle and not the tip?

[@suagy7492]

I finally know what has been missing for the last months. Glad you're back and enjoying tarkov again

[@k2alt428]

Woot woot ty

[@JDogth3Wise]

Thanks for watching

[@AeroxAces]

thanks for the tips. would love to see some ammo choices for these gun in the vids too.

[@JDogth3Wise]

Basically M855, 762 PS and 545 PS

[@SweatyBallsSuck]

Positive comment for algorithm

[@richburmond6761]

So im wondering, is an m4 on 45 recoil ish now insane? If we're running 60-66 recoil now?

[@i_defiy]

Yo maybe make a vid on the best budget preset kits we can use?

[@JDogth3Wise]

Been thinking about doing gun builds under 100K

[@AiRenwick]

How is the whipe going? I hope it is going 👍

[@felipeduarte1997]

Where should I aim on the delta point reticle? On the tip of the triangle or on the "center" of the triangle?? What is correct? (I know that distance and caliber should differ the results but, besides these infos, what is the correct point of aim of the delta point reticle?)

[@shir0923]

You shouldn't aim anywhere specifically for the Delta point reticule. As you said its dependent on the ammo you run, the gun's barrel length, and distance, but you're missing the biggest factor- The height over bore. The distance between the reticule and barrel itself is definitely going to differ with different mounts and firearms. As annoying as it is, I'd go into an offline raid or the shooting range with a gun that has the optic attached, and see if it's the middle or bottom of the triangle at the default 50m setting.

[@cluelessbird101]

In real life you would use the tip of the triangle, but I don't know abut in game.

[@grahamhawes7089]

In-game you use the center, which drives me nuts.

[@felipeduarte1997]

@@grahamhawes7089 for real hahhahaha I really toufht that in game it would be the top of the triangle... :(

[@jasonklein4376]

Not having 30 pen ammo for 5.56 and 5.45 at level 20 kinda cramps my want to run tacticool ARs

[@TrainHardFightHard4Ever]

True, you are forced to craft MK 318 Mod 0 (SOST)

[@tarkov5619]

or u guys could like aim for the head ik weird thought in an fps game@@TrainHardFightHard4Ever

[@bluyxx6482]

homie didnt mention the literal best smg in the game. the mp9n

[@JDogth3Wise]

Oh it will be coming

[@vashstampede4878]

Are you the guy from that podcast?... Dropouts? Jeremy? It has to be you, your voice is 100%. I didnt know you were a gamer, let alone tarkov. Thanks for the vid, this is great. Sorry if i got your name wrong, only watched the podcast a couple times

[@JDogth3Wise]

Nope, not me!

[@insatiableone2334]

I don't see MP5SD built from Peacekeeper LVL2, only the MP5SD Receiver?

[@JDogth3Wise]

Probably have to do a gunsmith quest to unlock it I guess

[@acer5720]

Can someone tell me what upper clothing he's using at around 4:15?

[@JDogth3Wise]

Bear sgm ops

[@acer5720]

never in my life have i regretted picking usec more.@@JDogth3Wise

[@Silent_Onis]

So you can’t really silence full size AK-s?

[@neen4456]

It's possible, those suppressors just don't give great stats (usually same/worse recoil than a muzzle brake and around -20 ergonomics, will make you aim noticeably slower). You can take the suppressor off of the AKS-74uB that prapor sells and put it onto any ak-74. Most suppressors that go onto a muzzle break instead of right on the barrel have good stats (since they combine their recoil reduction), but most AK suppressors only go straight onto the barrel. Once you have flea market, you will probably find these direct mount AK suppressors for much cheaper than the good stuff. The AKM can use an adapter to use 7.62x51 muzzle devices (these have good stats), and the AK-74's currently have one good suppressor combo: the Hexagon Reactor + Wafflemaker combo. Stats aside, run whatever you can get your hands on/whatever you think looks cool. There's never been a better time to run a non-optimized build now that recoil has been reworked :)

[@Shipx7]

I find that the problem this wipe is getting good ammo rather than good builds. Sure the G36 is a good gun, I like it a lot, but the best ammo you can get ll2 traders is fmj at 23 pen. At that pen the gun is really not even viable at that cost imo, and you're better off going 545 or something else. Unless there are some good ways to get good ammo that I dont know (yes I know the woods shack). I still love the guides, though, as it saves a lot of time going and looking through everything to figure out the builds myself. When doing these, would you consider including the best ammo that can be purchased for that build at the trader level? Or include an "at the time" affordable flea market round?

[@Boz196]

It's alot easier to hit the head now so I dont think pen is as important. You can also found lots of ammo on streets, I've found 200 m995.

[@TrainHardFightHard4Ever]

Or craft MK 318 Mod 0 (SOST)

[@jakobwest4811]

I’ve been using 5.45 for exactly this reason. I’ve also found at L2 traders 300 blackout isn’t so bad. V-max only has 20 pen but it seems much better than other ammos with higher pen. According to the ammo charts it goes through lvl4 armor better as well.

[@dorianl7917]

Please Please do like the first video, put some of time code 😭😭

[@tomixflox597]

What’s the best ammo to use tho?

[@jerbaancap5244]

at lvl 2 traders: 45 acp, 762 and shells

[@tomixflox597]

@@jerbaancap5244 been rocking the ump with .45 acp it’s been doing me good

[@legendaryx1]

1sT!!!

[@airsoftbeast12]

First here baby

[@fubarexress6359]

As much as I like the changes I think they went a little too far by putting pretty mediocre ammunition into level 3 and 4 traders. I'm completely in agreement that the top tier ammo should be very difficult to acquire. But I don't see the reason why 762 PS and 9 mm pst should be trader locked at 3-4 trader

[@jerbaancap5244]

9mm pst is not locked behind 3-4 traders? Im lvl 18 buying it from traders.

[@arcadeslum5882]

You’re wrong, but it’s ok. It’s your opinion. IMHO early wipe has been extended because of this.

[@tarkov5619]

also people always pretend like you cant aim for the head in tarkov for some reason even tho its normal in every other fps basically@@arcadeslum5882

[@Tnk-jj5ye]

to much bla bla

[@JDogth3Wise]

Go back to TikTok then

[@nitoundead3772]

I've came across level 27 and 30 players, get jobs you losers

[@mico4484]

Mp9 smacksssssss and not expensive.
