There is no reason to even use the SVD. Strider will hand you Lynx early int he game, so unless you take a massive detour to find it you will have the unique long before ever seeing the actual SVD. So the real question is Lynx VS the SVU.
There are a few spots you can get SVDm2 early, but there's a caveat: I honestly don't know who would want base version SVD, when 20 shots (if you even find ammo to make 20 shots...) is enough to loose 10% durability and its damage stats aren't sufficient to reliably oneshot bandits to the body. If anyone wants a sniper rifle - Lynx you get very early (right after "Hot on the Trail", which is like 6th or 7th main mission out of 35) but issues of scarcity of 7.62x54 ammo and how expensive it is for early game really sours the experience with it. Now for a choice between SVU vs Lynx, I think it's Lynx - it's only very slightly worse stat-wise but a lot cheaper to repair, so at least you'll have spare change to buy ammo if you really like it.
@@IcedCoffeeGaming Understandable. Though if you get the itch again, look for a modders forum to get some advice on how to put the mod together properly. I feel like you'd put out a really good change to the game for people who are really into this.
Unless you can get it really early it’s no good. In fact there is a way to do it right out the gate: go to the burned forest, look for a tall watchtower with a gravity anomaly at the bottom, climb the ladder, there is an SVD at the Top.

what happened to your mod, i was interested but it is no longer available on nexus and your video is also gone. enlighten me.
Same here I was actually excited to use it :/
Pay me and I’ll show you
Not worth the effort to support and maintain.
It works for me but someone tried to install and said it didnt work. Not sure how to export the pak file so that it works for others.

3:45
SVU has 80 dmg
both svd,s have 70 damage
and the SVU has the same PEN as the Lynx.
everything else is like you said.
svu is way more expensive to repair for only 10 less damage
@@minzekatze svd/lynx = 24000/25500 p
svu= 39000
yes but i think that late into the game it is reasonable. (atleast it was so for me)

Why is it no good later on?
You can get a damaged SVD in the lesser zone very early game killing Leshy in that warehouse beside the northern checkpoint
@@biscuitveteran9386 true but you have no ammo at this point.
@@chrisb2942 i think there was... like a box of 30 there.....i dont remember now.
The Whip version is even better than Lynx
I feel dumb af but i never realized you can auto fire the SVD/Lynx!?
He's just spam clicking
Do hollow point rounds deal more damage to mutants? I would love to know the answer...
Where did you find hollow point rounds? I would love to know the answer…
@@BlueCollaredGrit a lot of them are scattered in the zone. They have yellow accent to them. Also purchaseable through some vendors
@@arcad3racer Hollow points? Where? What vendor?
I’ve only come across AP, Flat, Expansive and Regular rounds! Where are the hollow points?
@@BlueCollaredGrit Expansive ARE hollow point. Google it :)
@@BlueCollaredGrit technically "expansive" are the hollow points.
Maybe I’ll have to use the Lynx, is the range difference noticeable?
In some cases it can be, but generally no. The huge edge it has is the 1 tap base ammo though
I love Lynx but i cant wait for Whip.
@@IcedCoffeeGaming we are all waiting for yours mood
СВУ конечно лучше + возможность установить магазин на 20 патронов.
Horrible expample with a long distance rifle and not demonstrating damage drop off at longer ranges
SVDeez nutz
Sorry
