[@TheSticknstone2]

Idk if you respond to comments Gigabeef, but is it worth shotting BCP out of this Sr-25 or is that perhaps TOO budget? asking from perspective of someone whose not even close to Lighthouse Revision lol

[@Gigabeef]

@TheSticknstone2 eh I think it's too budget most likely, especially against helmets and actual plates although you could use it in theory. Probably choose a different weapon until you can get either m80 or m62 from pk4!

[@aprofessionalateverything7585]

​@TheSticknstone2 if you don't have access to M80 yet just use the SKS, it's really good this patch and Ive killed a guy through an altyn with PP ammo. An sks build for like $120k has less recoil than a meta sr-25

Pretty much every gun woks great and really easily. I now build my guns to look cool. It's been a lot of fun and I see a LOT more variety out there from others as well and that is super cool as well. There is ZERO need to build a "meta" anything anymore.

[@CruelSun69]

Not true at all. Meta means if you take two players of the same skill and let them 1v1 10 times the one with the meta build will win more than the other. Meta still exists and will always exist.

[@SpikeVike27]

​@@CruelSun69but there's literally never will be such direct ties. It's not just skill - its positioning, initiative, hell even server latency. If you need high ergo it means that you need to quick scope, if you need low recoil it means you have either magdump a lot to connect enough shots or you not that confident in your aim. Build would've mattered a lot more in 0.13, but now it's way less critucal that "barebones" functionality (having any suppressor, decent optics, magazines and ammo).

In all wariness it doesn't really matter what you put on these single shot dmr now a days. Full auto ones you have to lean into a lot more to mod. But honestly with the price of things now, a MDR is probably the only thing you want to bring out

I needed this. I have a few SR-25 rifles that I've found in stashes, and I'm not sure how to kit them out. Gracias!!

[@Renoxkun]

I like using the dd wave brake and suppressor on the shorter barrel because the combo is relatively cheap and makes the ergo quite a bit better. Other than that all spot on

Is there like a link to that chart with the suppressor stats? I'd love to keep that handy when building guns myself.

[@mosin9349]

It’s not always the rule, but in general the price on the flea will help remind you which parts have better stats. In terms of balanced weapons like the sr25 it also depends on if you prioritize recoil or ergo. I lean ergo, especially for semi auto.

[@Burl_Hurlbutt]

I sometimes question if people are just using builds they like the look of, then after I see how ugly most builds are, I think it's more likely they're just confused, or just had these parts in their stash. That said, that Orion grip is so hideous, shame it's so good.

[@maykay9516]

I wouldn't say it's so good at all, you get the GRAL-S grip at 1 lower level with 3 more ergo (for 10k more rubles) or the Stark and MOE grips 15 levels sooner for 1 and 2 less ergo respectfully for 5000 and 10000 rubles cheaper. It's a pointless middle ground that you don't have access to until level 38 and goes completely against what giga was saying in this video about either committing to an expensive build or going more budget

[@MonitorWizard]

@maykay9516 said it better, but I think that these videos have a real problem with simply changing out every part to a min/max version. the end product of the video was a completely different gun than the one you picked up, you didn't consider the level of the user or their (unknown) aesthetic preferences

Nice series, but one correction here: The SRD suppressor barter is on Skier level 3, not 4.

[@min0tauer]

You're madly analyzing why he took this or that attachment instead of maybe thinking about the fact that he's taking things because they're in the stash and he doesn't have to buy them. This means you often build weapons that are not meta, but are still reasonably playable and cheap.

[@MessedUpSystem]

Since I love sniping and waiting for the moment to shoot, I love the Thunder Beast since it is SO much lighter than any of the alternatives, and it is like tp 3-ish in terms of recoil anyway, only bad side is it is a bit hefty in the ergo side, but that can be compensated in other places like the buttstock Edit: also, flip off RSASS handguard, that shit is UGLY in other guns, hell no keep it away from my beloved SR-25

[@adamkaneshiro]

i hate to see someone spend a lot of money on the gun but then go cheap on the attachments. its like if you are going to be frugal run an AK or something cheap. SR25s and other guns that cost a lot to feed ammo to arent good to budget run since they rely so much on modifying to be useable and the ammo is expensive to waste it pinching roubles only to lose out on performance

[@min0tauer]

How do you know if he spent a lot of rubles on the gun? Maybe he built it with things he had in his stash and didn't want to buy anything new. What's wrong with that? I think it's wrong to assume he built it from scratch and made a lot of mistakes along the way. Think about it. How many build their weapons with things they have lying around?

[@Gigabeef]

Haha sorry not sorry!

[@maykay9516]

I think you really need to take the level of the person you took the gun from into consideration when making these videos or else they make no sense. You say it's obviously not supposed to be a meta build and remove the better grip for being too expensive on the flea, but you use the ARE buffer tube, which will set you back about 110k+ on the flea unless you have mechanic max level and have done gunsmith 21. But at that point why would you ever use the Orion grip when you have the GRAL... Or if you are going for something cheaper then the Stark AR and MOE grips are 5 and 10k cheaper with only 1 and 2 less ergo, and unlocked at level 23? The build that's supposed to be just small adjustments is stupidly expensive unless you're level 40, and at that point you should just be going all in with the BIS build :P

[@Gigabeef]

I tried to show all the options without going on too long, i.e you can use the ATP if you want - but if you have the ARE unlocked, you should use it. If you don't you shouldn't, that's the idea at least

What people need to understand is good kits give you more room to make mistakes. If you can't afford to rock meta kits, do money runs until you can. In the long run it'll cost you far less that way.

[@_crowbar9162]

While I enjoy Gigabeef content, this series completely misses the mark in my book. Ever since recoil was "fixed" I have been mostly enjoying aesthetically pleasing builds as opposed to running the absolute meta builds. Perhaps this guy's weapon didn't need fixing, perhaps he built it because he likes the way it looks, or he had these attachments readily available in his stash? While technically Gigabeef is right, I don't think we need to STILL keep promoting "meta" builds when everything works well these days.

[@theinconsistentgamer1402]

This gun was trash before though, c'mon. 91 vert in a dmr 🤮

[@alexwest1774]

I think that’s why he tries to match the “original goal” of the weapon. You could use most of the things he’s using with slight variations for aesthetics and still come out at a similar point that is significantly better than the original gun. Every gun he’s used in this series is REALLY sub-par and I think it teaches people a lot…which means I don’t have to fix their guns when I take them :). If not, it’s definitely taught me a lot! Had no clue about upper receivers (AX-15 on the M4 from the vid a few weeks ago)

[@Buffoolery]

Agreed half the fun of tarkov is you can take in anything you want and win. Tarkov is NOT a competitive game and never will be

[@justyguud]

Making meta weapons is so boring and is so stupid because 98% of the weapon parts are rendered useless if you feel the need to build the guns to meta spec. Why cant they take BF4s weapon attachment stats, rework them for tarkov, and BAM, now you can use any attachment you want that fits your PLAYSTYLE instead of tarkovs boring system of who has more ergo or recoil reduction. go look at BF4 attachment stats and you will realize how beneficial and awesome it would be to have such specific attachment details. EXAMPLES = STUBBY GRIP: 20% less spread increase per shot 33% less ADS max spread. ANGLED GRIP: 20% less first shot recoil 33% slower spread decrease. POTATOE GRIP: Reduces spread during automatic fire BY 15%.

[@justyguud]

@@Gigabeef yeah i guess thats better than what we have. Aftermarket weapon parts are mainly always giving positives, and for the most part they usually never have drawbacks. The main roll of all the different styles of weapon parts is to make the weapon fit better to how your body is built, as well as making your task/roll easier to operate. The system in place right now is lazy to say the least but im not a programmer so who knows 😂
