Thanks Gigabeef, as a dude with a full time job who's also a full time student and have family to take care of these videos are super helpful! I can't pay attention to all the patch notes and changes and stuff and it's really annoying when I come back and can't find various ammos so these vids are a lifesaver!
Thank you for always putting up time stamps and not obsessing over watchtime too much. I usually watch most of the vids anyways, but with guides like these it's really handy being able to skip towards the part that is useful to me.
I love the .366 AP-M , in the VPO carbine. The workbench craft is easy and economical and **nobody** takes it off you when you die, so you get it back in insurance nearly every time. Nobody even takes your suppressor because it's not worth anything only goes on guns nobody has love for. I wish there were more options for muzzle breaks, but with decent modding the thing becomes a pretty fierce DMR style gun with ammo that can punch through all the common armors and still does 90 damage at the same time. It's just chef's kiss.
@@Chevalier_knight Level 4 is the baseline that most people run with, and no scavs wear anything higher either. I wouldn't pick it for going to Labs or for purely PvP, but as an everyday economical round it's great.
One note about TCW SP (that is less relevant now because of the massive plate hit boxes) is that it can OHKO the thorax. Last wipe I found that TCW killed quicker a lot of times because of the chance for an armpit or around the plate shot (since most armour is only class 2). Also, one note about the Gendarmerie quests: With whatever they did to scavs this wipe, they're actually super fast and completable in 1-2 raids. Just bring an non-suppressed weapon and watch as the scavs just flood your position, pistols and SMG I finished in one raid, the last I finished in 2 just because streets has sooooo many scavs now
I can't trust anyone who plays tarkov with such perfect posture. If you're not hunched over like a gremlin, how can I trust you to be a certified gamer?
Super early, I'd recommend getting boxes of PP, BT and BP for 5.45 on Reserve, and throwing them into an AKS-74u or something. By the time you get to Rank 2 Jaeger, you can get .366 EKO which is great, but yeah you should just go to the Flea Market once you're level 15, and use whatever you can afford with at least 30 pen.
I ran the RD704 on Labs today and it feels so good this wipe. I was using BP and PP, as I had killed Parmisan a few times and had a ton of BP waiting to be used. 13+ kill games each raid. Hated 7.62 weapons last wipe but damn. RD is solid af
The end cards block half the screen at the end, obscuring the new info. You probably want an outro page for those instead of just throwing them up over infographics.
For me the only gun that makes sense to use is p90 with L191 or R37.F leg meta if the other round is too expensive on flee. Not wasting my money on SS190! Love the 50 round mags!
In no mean I am dissing you. But I think all the quests in this game are well made and pretty doable. As long as you are a consistent player who is actually good. As someone who have over 3000 hours, all the quest has never bothered me. Everyone is different of course.
@@hypham7555 yeah i get that the quests are doable and a lot of them are quite easy but in my opinion they just arent fun for me personally. I realised that im trying to play and make tarkov into a game it's not and has never been and thats why its probably my last wipe and my comment is meaningless
Then there is me with items case full of ammo boxes full of every damn round more than i can ever use, and as for guns i got 4 thicc weapons cases and 5 weapon cases full of guns. The game is ridiculously easy now, gear isnt rare or hard to get at all, lvl 6 and 5 plates are everywhere especially in ref key rooms.
Imagine reverting the really good plate hit of change, and making armour even more OP. To then remove all good ammo, and make all the good stuff level 4. Typical BSG
pbp is not 39 pen. while it does say that it has horrible bcof it loses 3 pen as soon as at leaves the barrel and 3 more at 20m. so at 20m it is only 33pen
They messed this up for anyone who plays PVE since they don’t get ref at all which I don’t know why because they still have GP coins which are useless and they can’t get the keys to all those now locked doors
Do you think they'll add REF to PVE? I've found a few GP coins in raid but have literally no way to spend them, and it sucks being locked out of a trader.
9:30 This is great, but as a Tarkov newbie, the calibre of the bullets is unclear. I think Piranha is for 12g guns, but I'm not sure about 54r etc. Feel bad to ask for more info when all this work went into making this video. At 9:42 I have no idea what these bullets are for, gunwise. Maybe prefixing '[5.56x39]' or something in front of them.
Eh I’m finding a bunch of good ammo in raid. But I do think they went a little overboard on restricting the ammo on traders considering how strong the armor is.
Quest dont need to be easier, but it needs to be reworked. Killing things in certain locations is annoying.......... It promotes the rat playstyle that most hate. Also, their game dies after the first month of the wipe. Most are not going for those goofy a$$ annoying quest to unlock bullets Again, it is not made easier, just made more fun and better mission ideas. Like the marathon quests
Yeh im finishing punisuer tonight then need to do outposts for sp6 the other map spots are fine but woods i need to camp the spot then hope someone even comes along
I just use my 7.62x39 AK with HP (hollow point) ammo from trader from start of wipe to end of wipe. It's just the best and will always be the best and always available from fence.
@@michaelsweeten6009 there is no getting better. its just audio. there is no more movement. someone hears you, they sit and wait, and you walk by their screen. its the only thing you can do. just find a good hiding spot/angle and thats it. arena is proof of it. we all play like that now. the audio if it was actually good, should be an immersive part of the game, but it shouldnt be the entire strategy and 100% of the gameplay. because it absolutely is.

Bro that is insane, respect
What he said^ take care of yourself brother
So you get to play 2-10 hours a week…. I could t do it…
I agree!

It only pens lvl 4 thats pretty bad
Bullet is so slow with a ton of drop, Feels like I'm lobbing meatballs whenever I use it at dmr range.
@@Chevalier_knight Level 4 is the baseline that most people run with, and no scavs wear anything higher either. I wouldn't pick it for going to Labs or for purely PvP, but as an everyday economical round it's great.
@@HONDOR22 But when those meatballs hit they smell what you're cookin
@@Chevalier_knight No one says that about AP-20, this is just a more accurate and easier to use AP-20 basically 😅
i have 1100 rounds of 5.45 BP, BT, and PP and a couple hundred of BS. All that just from scav runs on reserve. Its insane lol
finally Reserve has some items it was meant to have

Thx Giga for the video! - Love that you added what quest unlocks the ammo :) thx man!
I don't even play Tarky much anymore and still pop in for your vids. Keep it up my man!

Never mind i see its at the end. I think you forgot the 4.6 ap ammo on the workbench
U need to finish the guide, i doubt alot of ppl clear this one LOL
Right now I found that the best way to play is to run the AK 5.45x39 platform, because everyone is crafting PP, and it's so cheap (235 rub/ bullet)
PP doesn't pen players though
@@epidemicstudios dont need to pen a face
@@livefootball2000 Eh, I'd rather have BT at least
I do BP and PP mags. Every other bullet. Saves me money and still gets the pen I need.
@@daedalus6433 yeah top load 4 PP (for time when adjusting aim) 10 BT (for actual target placement) and rest PP
just started the wipe today. Perfect timing for this vid. Thanks Giga
Do the Fence in mid Wipe. Lots of 5.45PS &7.62PS
T46 and an AVT is my favorite. Nobody keeps it and I drop fully geared pmcs.
The end cards block half the screen at the end, obscuring the new info. You probably want an outro page for those instead of just throwing them up over infographics.
this is the giga beef video we've been waiting for
For me the only gun that makes sense to use is p90 with L191 or R37.F leg meta if the other round is too expensive on flee. Not wasting my money on SS190! Love the 50 round mags!
Thanks gigabeef, really useful video. I was just concerned about this issue the other day.
I found so much ammo on woods in the camps this wipe it's great tbh
I’ve never had the best ammo as a weekend player lol I can only hope to find it
I still don’t know why the highest one stuff isn’t on traders much. Armor is super strong now
So annoying how pretty average ammo is craft only while being locked behind shit quests
In no mean I am dissing you. But I think all the quests in this game are well made and pretty doable. As long as you are a consistent player who is actually good. As someone who have over 3000 hours, all the quest has never bothered me. Everyone is different of course.

8:10 Forgot about the svt-40 as an early game option as well as it is far cheaper to mod
Can we get a video of what gun you think is best in each caliber?
Then there is me with items case full of ammo boxes full of every damn round more than i can ever use, and as for guns i got 4 thicc weapons cases and 5 weapon cases full of guns. The game is ridiculously easy now, gear isnt rare or hard to get at all, lvl 6 and 5 plates are everywhere especially in ref key rooms.
the fact you can only get 7.62 bp on ref is absurd, actually ridiculous
me watching this video, while having 0 hour this wipe: mhmmm interesting thx for the video giga
X39 is off the table since last wipe because of how high its recoil is compared to everything else
Imagine reverting the really good plate hit of change, and making armour even more OP.
To then remove all good ammo, and make all the good stuff level 4.
Typical BSG
pbp is not 39 pen. while it does say that it has horrible bcof it loses 3 pen as soon as at leaves the barrel and 3 more at 20m. so at 20m it is only 33pen
G28 is the best option for m80’s, better stats, weighs less, cheaper etc
The scars are better they have no recoil and are cheaper the sa-58/mdr
They messed this up for anyone who plays PVE since they don’t get ref at all which I don’t know why because they still have GP coins which are useless and they can’t get the keys to all those now locked doors
Do you think they'll add REF to PVE? I've found a few GP coins in raid but have literally no way to spend them, and it sucks being locked out of a trader.
Let me save you time, if it doesn't pen level 4 or above, it's garbage.
fyi the spear is a 1 per reset ll4 ref 50 gp coin barter
I have all traders level 4 except level 1 ref and level 3 PK
Sp bt at 1:05 weights 70000 kg lol
what's the song between 7:00 - 8:00
thx :)
Sp6 is too annoying to get having to hope someone comes to the woods spots means its not even worth unlocking.
can just get it from ref
Im not playing arena it sucks.
9:30 This is great, but as a Tarkov newbie, the calibre of the bullets is unclear. I think Piranha is for 12g guns, but I'm not sure about 54r etc. Feel bad to ask for more info when all this work went into making this video. At 9:42 I have no idea what these bullets are for, gunwise. Maybe prefixing '[5.56x39]' or something in front of them.
You're correct that PIranha is for 12 gauge, but 54r IS the caliber.
most good bullets wont even be touched by majority of the players lol its almost like they dont exist
Eh I’m finding a bunch of good ammo in raid. But I do think they went a little overboard on restricting the ammo on traders considering how strong the armor is.
Where is 1:55 place located?
Grumpy key ref lvl2 on interchange so many lvl 5 6 plates, good ammo I also found a spear and black mdr on two different occasions
@@internettoughguy247 Thanks buddy

Wohooo i love spreadsheet wideo!!! \^,^/
Traders are becoming more and more useless and it's making me sad.
I love cool boolets
turn your mic up
Turn your phone up
Wipe is already over
Thank you
This is the best wipe for easy kits, get better at PVP this wipe
@@michaelsweeten6009 this is also the wipe with the most blatant cheaters.. nobody want to play anymore
