I ran the Klin for a long while during the first week of this wipe and can vouch for it for what some might consider an unexpected reason: PBM ammo has 28 pen (for reference, AP 6.3 9x19 has 30 pen) and can be bought at a rate of 350 rounds per restock from Prapor 2 for relatively cheap, making it surprisingly effective against early-wipe armour up close even if the base flesh damage of 40 is pretty rough at range Very useful video, lots of stuff I didn't consider, good stuff
@@abcdefghijkl123454 Yeah I found a valday on customs and switched my red dot for it and couldn't hit anything long range, plus I was using US ammo which is subsonic lol I'm not the brightest
M855 doesn't feel like doo doo anymore. And I been actually running PRS rounds with great success for AKs. Currently level 10! Can't wait to see how the rest of the wipe plays out
Ive been running almost exclusively 545 AKs this wipe with found ammo and it's been amazing. PS, PP, BP and even BT are found pretty frequently in loose ammo spawns and thats been enough for me to not only run the AKs but even build up a pretty decent stockpile of ammo. Thats my main reason for mostly staying away from 556 guns so far this wipe. I see no reason to bother with the bad available ammo selection when I'm loading PP, BP and BT into my AKs.
@@paranikumarlpk the sandbag areas around K, the two hangers on the ground floor of hermetic bunker, on top of the boxes between the knights, in the garage near the truck in black knight, on top of king, white bishop, white pawn, and black pawn as well as all the various weapon boxes. There are some pallets and boxes at the buildings in the northwest as well(near the rb-vo marked room). Also I’ve noticed when I scav reserve on a us server it’s almost always picked clean. And don’t forget to check the mags of dead scavs for ammo as well
Btw, the mechanic op-sks barter is quite literally one of the best bang for buck barter in the game as, no, you can't mod a better one from jaeger since it already comes with the best mod setup for ergo+recoil and on top of that only costs roughly 50k rouble and only requires you to put a better mag on it + a muzzle device and a dovetail optic or just the long rail that gives giga ergo for 10k roubles.
Yep, for some reason in this wipe the UAS configuration is better in both recoil and Ergo than the Tapco configuration.....idk why but almost nobody notice it (making the UAS worth in price and stats, also Gunsmith is making the Tapco imposible to bought it cheap)
I should mention Gigabeef that the Tarkov Shooter part 3 (whichever the one id where you shoot PMCs within 40m with a boltaction.) That quest UNLOCKS the ability to craft .366tkm AP-M now. So sadly if you want to use .366TKM for that quest id use EKO. Personally i had better luck with a short mosin loaded with FMJ.
Do you feel like mosin is worse now? I wasted 40 rounds of LPS trying to kill scavs on woods with it and i felt like every shot just missed no matter how well lined up it was.
I wish the longer aks were better. It doesn't really make sense that the shorter ones have better recoil but it isn't really a big deal just a bummer since it seems goofy to me.
@@Sakattack2023 im sorry but you have no idea how guns work in real life if you think barrel length is redundent and the ak platform is a longer ranged weapon then the m4 platform is
first off love your content keep up the great work we all appreciate it. anywho constructive criticism time the aug has the best base recoil of your 556 options at level 2 traders and gets 30 rounders at level 2 peacekeeper. because not a whole lot of people run the aug and it has 2x dedicated aug only suppressors they tend to be cheap on the flee with the aug a3 version often being cheaper then the g36 and can let you put a red dot on the 1.5X or you can just run the 1.5x and the a1 for a budget gun. 762x51 bcp fmj has a craft now thats very cheap. you need 2x blue kite gunpowders for x120 rounds making the rfb and other 762x51 guns more viable at lower levels and deserves a shoutout you can craft with level 2 workbench requiring level 2 mechanic. 762x54r lps also has a new level 2 workbench craft 70x fmj rounds + 1x red hawk gunpower for 70x lps and with every other good level 2 ammo craft being removed like 856a1 their isnt a lot of better options then lps and bcp fmj atm. and lps has the advantage over t46 of not being a tracer making it harder for your targets or third parties to spot you at a distance especially at night and with a gun like the svd that preforms best at a distance. like you said the two rounds are near identical and if you just have a red dot for cqb its probably not going to matter but if you want to snipe with a longer range scope lps can save your butt from being counter sniped. the saiga 10 rounders are level 2 jaeger locked behind chemical 2 which a lot of players do early to finish that line and get a injector case from therapist. the 20 rounders are also pretty cheap early wipe and unless you are going factory or fighting 4-5 mans 1x 20 rounder is usually enough with a few 5 and 10 rounders. you can get the pt 1 which now takes a rubber butt stock and can get pt 3 preformance with level 2 traders albeit with higher weight and get a few muzzel options and handguard and grip and end up with a pretty viable cqb weapon with a magazine capacity thats beyond every other shotgun. its niche and situational but early wipe with a lot of people not having amazing armor and rounds and level 2 traders access to piranha rounds this is its niche right now. prapor has a level 2 barter for 20 rounder vss/val mags for a tech manual and when fence has them in stock he will have hundreds which he sells for 5k each. both the vss and val are very cheap early wipe due to anesthesia giving everyone a found in raid val and people not knowing this trick to get mags. as you have said in previous videos you dont really NEED a foregrip all that much and sp5 early wipe with the great fire rate and low recoil preforms well enough. and funny enough the r43 bater for milk is also level 2 so you can make a full meta val minus the foregrip at level 2. currently 100% vals with dust covers and a mag are 67k and the vss 53k. i normally buy a single 30 rounder off flee and constantly top it off and if you use a cheap kobra the gun and mags combined can come to around 100k with a 30 rounder off flee. another good sudo level 2 option is the 45 vector. you get level 2 skier mag barters for 1x strike cigarette which is often around 5-10k on flee and 5k when fence has it in stock. when fence has them i stock up on mags and the guns basically a ump with better stock recoil then a modded ump with 5 more rounds and almost twice the fire rate. fmj rounds are cheap and hit pretty hard early wipe especially with the armor changes and most importantly its cheap. currently 30k on flee for the gun and with cheap mag barters and cheap sub 1$ rounds (ask for a few hundred rounds the cost will be 20% lower) its a great budget gun to mag dump people with.
... But the damage of 5.45 wont help you outside of CQB range. Honestly, pick 7.62 if you want to run a intermediate/longrange map, 545 and 556 shines at short range - their damage gets gimped over distance FAST.
I'm pretty sure the second Adar on Skier and the redundant Scar, M4, and 74N on Mechanic 2 are bugs. They are supposed to be stripped down versions of the gun just like in other patches but aren't.
As good as the aksu is, on Lvl2 you get now the PBM 9x18 with 28 Pen and the KedrB Laserbeam with silencer under 30k and that just eats every other CQB gun.
The AUG for 578 dollars on PK2 is really nice. Very low recoil compared to G36C, and you can just pick it up and go. Only question is, is the sight usable for you? I don't mind it
I buy the aug a3 on flea for 75,000 roubles, people sell the raider version that comes with a holo and a flashlight, just make sure you get one at good max durability, and you have an absolute beam of a weapon, with good moa, a sight, and a flashlight for less than 100k after repairing. I also craft 5.56 SOST in workbench lvl 2, it is 2 pen better than m855, and the craft is only around 400 a bullet.
The more I study Tarkov the less I know and the more questions I have…! Nice work on another important info dump Gigabeef! Your dedication to the Daddy Tarkov players is helping immensely!😊
That Mechanic 2 SKS barter is nuts, and you can’t build one better at level 2. For 35-45k, you get a ~70 recoil 7.62 weapon. Slap on a muzzle brake and a compact 2 and you have a nasty little tapper for dirt cheap.
Love to see all these vids for progressing through early wipe. As someone who's just getting started three weeks in, I'd love a "late starter" wipe guide though.
Nice video. VSS 20 rnd mags are decent price when doing the barter for them. VSS so much better than the new guns on same caliber too. The new guns 20 rounds being in lvl 4 trader is kind of wild for a gun that only seems to really have early wipe sense.
micro benefit to base mp 155 over 153, barrel length means less getting stuck on terrain when peeking tight corners, just whack a toprail and a burris fastfire on it for 25m zero too
Thanks for the review, currently lvl 17. .45 ACP Vector is ridiculously cheap on flee now. It's 1100 rpm laser beam. Mags are around 10k via barter. Unlimited match fmj stock. IMHO it's the best SMG for lvl 2 vendors ammo.
i believe you really missed a spotlight on the AUG. It has basically NO recoil and since sost can be bought on flea for 800-1000 roubles, and the weapon needs 0 modding, its just very deadly! The stock scope is weird but doable!
when comparing the big ak to lil ak, you do have to note that the big ak's "muzzle velocity" is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than the little ak, allow faster one taps, and more accurate shots at 80m plus. the longer barrel makes the weapon much more effective at a distance, and the rounds are flying trough the air faster. this is arguably the only real difference between the ak, i'm surprised it wasn't mentioned when comparing
Perhaps, but for 100m ranges the longer aks hit in 111ms vs the short aks in 137ms - just not sure it makes that much difference. Its only slightly slower than the M1A for example & after 100m you probably shouldn't be using 5.45 anyway is my take!
The Piranha rounds description on the wiki says " to br used no closer than 10 feet and no further than 50 feet" could there be a hidden feature there thats causing the inconsistency?
If you like the Scar, the one from Mechanic here has a longer barrel so it's cheaper for modding since you don't need to replace it. the M1A, Hunter & OP-SKS here feel like they belong in LL1, or at least if they could make them cheaper, and some of their modifications are either weirdly/really expensive and/or disapointing
It is so stupid that a short-barrel version of the AK with junky skeleton stock and much less weight has significantly better recoil. The only downside is probably its accuracy, but ppl rarely run them with optics anyway. Did they just confused the things up and set the krinkov a recoil of a full-lenght AK, while giving a full-lenght one the recoil of a krink?
I've been doing a lot of loot runs in the new shoreline location behind the resort and there is a load of ammo spawns but I just can't find any good 5.45 ammo there, am I just unlucky or is it just this location that doesn't spawn good ammo? Last wipe I was absolutely stacked on 5.45, now I'm struggling to pack 2 mags
@@Gigabeef Nice, I've been thinking about trying out Adobe but I can't pay for it atm, so I've been using one of the popular websites. Might just make me buy it soon!
I´m so unsure which Ammo i should play. Is it maybe better to play high Damage Ammo instead of high Pen, cause of the new Amor system and the new Hidboxes that allowed with certain Ammos like 7.62 x 39 HP a Thorax oneshot, or the difference between 366 ammos. - would love to get an answer
Superformance slugs are bugged, heavy shotgun user here, Hits register and count towards your damage But the damage doesnt get applied to the target Tried other slugs such as custom lights, polevas, lead slugs and all work correctly
I've been using t46m for punisher 6 and can say that it's pen can be not enough. I've had two long range encounters where armor ate half of my damage around 170 damage dealt/ 170 blocked by armor. Also I had close range hipfire case where I hit 4 shots and his armor let through around 25 dmg. I don't understand what's happening, but armor plates seem to block high pen ammo absolutely unconditionally.
AKM is good because you can find 7.62x39 BP so easy, i have a full stack of it just from finding it off of ground zero map. I also found 23 rounds MAI AP. if you want to find those, or 9x39 bp, or m855a1 (also got full stack of that), or .300 ap, loot the dead scav and pmc body loot containers all across the map, and open that room on the sides of the parking garage when you're leaving, as it has an ammo box, and an ammo box usually spawns in the back of the truck right by that room, and there are many dead scavs there. i found bullets like ap6.3, most of any high pen bullets you need. there is a key for that room, but it's useless for now since you can breach the door.
The longer AKs do have significantly better MOA, though, which can actually matter more than you would expect on maps like Shoreline and Woods where you might want to make some longer shots. Not that 5.45 is ideal for that, but. . .
In regards to LL1 AK’s the reason people buy full size AK’s is for the muzzle velocity, sure an AKS has a little better control, but on maps where longer sight lines are expected I think they’re edged out a bit
I dont think this mechanic is implemented well in this game, tho. Especially because stopping power and ability to defeat armor would be huge. A 5.45 out of a 10 inch vs. a 16-inch is a CANYON of a difference in real life. The same applies to 5.56.
@@bignspicy984 it’s kinda there with the new ballistics, but it’s not great. I was referencing more on the velocity equating to less lead when shooting targets at range
I unlocked peacekeeper 3 and plan on run a lot of p90. What confuses me, however, are the stats of SB193 and L191 on different websites. several tarkov apps/websites place SB193/27 pen over L191/33 pen. websites that list pen drop on distance, claim SB193 would have 34 pens on 50m. Im not sure which one have more pen... Atm i prefer L191 because it is much faster.
just a reminder each guns stats have their own tables. An m4 with 40 recoil is not the same as lets say an MDR with 40 recoil. back when recoil was more exaggerated this was way more noticeable with some guns being useable while others at the same recoil were completely unusable.
Agreed, this is what i'm running a lot at the moment. The reset limit on mags isn't ideal, but once you've stocked up, or if you can avoid losing too many it's fine!
Does anyone having any problems with the game? I can@t get into the game because og ip address get temporarily blocked.Do anyone knows what is happening right now?
Hi, anyone experiencing pc shut down when Tarkov stuck at loading map? I have no idea on what to do….. I have checked my ram, psu… everything works correctly
That recoil pivot after first shot looks very strange. What is more - why pivot movement stops after it reaches some angle? Like what? Our char suddenly recalls how to brace a rifle? New recoil is better than what it was, but its still strange. Pivot should be removed.
I would argue against removing pivot mechanics completely, they allow to simulate much stronger recoil without disorienting the player too much, but it is strange that recoil doesn't just continiously rotate the camera upwards. I would like pivot staying as is and making recoil affect camera angle more so that you still have to control recoil after the initial pivot push
My current go to are the AS Val and vss as you need no modding, good ammo and pretty cheap mags with a barter at lvl 2 prapor. Can often get them both for under 60k!
its so hard starting out in this wipe because everyone is running around with lvl 4 6b13's off scavs and your using ammo that can barely pierce lvl 3 until you get lvl 3 traders
There is not "best weapon" anymore since every weapon are no recoil, only bullet matter, i can sht on any chad rocking a 300k m4 with a ak74u stock costing me 23k
Imagine making how to videos on tarkov, including videos that clearly shows aimbot. Pathetic. You can see the aim snap when he presses the trigger. Jesus.

One thing to factor in is that the higher MOA and muzzle velocity of the longer AKs will help in fights outside of CQB ranges
True that, they're a pretty good choice for maps like Woods.
The AK-74M with a fast round like BS or BT can be very good for medium or long range distance.

Perhaps, but for 100m ranges the longer aks hit in 111ms vs the short aks in 137ms - just not sure it makes that much difference. Its only slightly slower than the M1A for example & after 100m you probably shouldn't be using 5.45 anyway is my take!
The Piranha rounds description on the wiki says " to br used no closer than 10 feet and no further than 50 feet" could there be a hidden feature there thats causing the inconsistency?
If you like the Scar, the one from Mechanic here has a longer barrel so it's cheaper for modding since you don't need to replace it. the M1A, Hunter & OP-SKS here feel like they belong in LL1, or at least if they could make them cheaper, and some of their modifications are either weirdly/really expensive and/or disapointing
It is so stupid that a short-barrel version of the AK with junky skeleton stock and much less weight has significantly better recoil. The only downside is probably its accuracy, but ppl rarely run them with optics anyway. Did they just confused the things up and set the krinkov a recoil of a full-lenght AK, while giving a full-lenght one the recoil of a krink?
Been using this and it feels very good with the HAMR !
I dropped a juiced 3 man, solo on shoreline with the Kedr, it's a pretty nice weapon
I've been doing a lot of loot runs in the new shoreline location behind the resort and there is a load of ammo spawns but I just can't find any good 5.45 ammo there, am I just unlucky or is it just this location that doesn't spawn good ammo? Last wipe I was absolutely stacked on 5.45, now I'm struggling to pack 2 mags
I can confirm I have been one hit center mass with an Ash-12 PS12 while wearing class 5 armor, I was not best pleased to say the least
What do you use to make your thumbnails? I really like how you have the blurry color behind the bullets/guns.
Adobe InDesign!
@@Gigabeef Nice, I've been thinking about trying out Adobe but I can't pay for it atm, so I've been using one of the popular websites. Might just make me buy it soon!
Is AKSU-74UB still broken in recoil though?
I´m so unsure which Ammo i should play. Is it maybe better to play high Damage Ammo instead of high Pen, cause of the new Amor system and the new Hidboxes that allowed with certain Ammos like 7.62 x 39 HP a Thorax oneshot, or the difference between 366 ammos. - would love to get an answer
Superformance slugs are bugged, heavy shotgun user here,
Hits register and count towards your damage
But the damage doesnt get applied to the target
Tried other slugs such as custom lights, polevas, lead slugs and all work correctly
I've been using t46m for punisher 6 and can say that it's pen can be not enough. I've had two long range encounters where armor ate half of my damage around 170 damage dealt/ 170 blocked by armor. Also I had close range hipfire case where I hit 4 shots and his armor let through around 25 dmg. I don't understand what's happening, but armor plates seem to block high pen ammo absolutely unconditionally.
Wich bullet use on 556 with lvl 2 trader ?
AKM is good because you can find 7.62x39 BP so easy, i have a full stack of it just from finding it off of ground zero map. I also found 23 rounds MAI AP. if you want to find those, or 9x39 bp, or m855a1 (also got full stack of that), or .300 ap, loot the dead scav and pmc body loot containers all across the map, and open that room on the sides of the parking garage when you're leaving, as it has an ammo box, and an ammo box usually spawns in the back of the truck right by that room, and there are many dead scavs there. i found bullets like ap6.3, most of any high pen bullets you need. there is a key for that room, but it's useless for now since you can breach the door.
wanted to ask if you could do a vid on headphones because they feel totally different from last wipe
but what ammo to use with the LL2 Traders? what ammo should i run in the G36 if i only have LL2 traders?
Craft SOST in the workbench - will be doing a more detailed 556 guide soon
why isnt 5.45 pp available for me to buy as an option?
The longer AKs do have significantly better MOA, though, which can actually matter more than you would expect on maps like Shoreline and Woods where you might want to make some longer shots. Not that 5.45 is ideal for that, but. . .
Any chance we can get a video on what sells quickly in the flea market ? With only 2 slots to sell im unsure what to list to make my early money.
small correction, you did actually have the ability to buy bt off the flea couple wipes ago (still post flea market restriction) but they removed it
In regards to LL1 AK’s the reason people buy full size AK’s is for the muzzle velocity, sure an AKS has a little better control, but on maps where longer sight lines are expected I think they’re edged out a bit
I dont think this mechanic is implemented well in this game, tho. Especially because stopping power and ability to defeat armor would be huge. A 5.45 out of a 10 inch vs. a 16-inch is a CANYON of a difference in real life. The same applies to 5.56.
@@bignspicy984 it’s kinda there with the new ballistics, but it’s not great. I was referencing more on the velocity equating to less lead when shooting targets at range
@tristanhicks9824 how much velocity in game is dropped from a 20inch to a 10 inch because IRL we're talking over 500fps for 5.56
@@bignspicy984 well in game between an AKS-74u and an am-74m there’s like a 200m/s difference- so fairly similar to that actually
@@bignspicy984 for an m4 tho it only drops 100m between a 16in barrel and a 10.3
Oh my god you can accurately magdump an ASH12 now.
Im officially scared.
Also Bibageef.
How do you put a Sight on RFB as LL2 Traders?
I use the prism 2.5 from Skier lvl 2 for my RFBs. Gets me a scoped .308 for only 50k
I would still use the AK-74 over the AKS-74U for the extra muzzle velocity as well as accuracy
the biggest advantage of the 153 is the moa, its the best shotgun for that reason
I unlocked peacekeeper 3 and plan on run a lot of p90.
What confuses me, however, are the stats of SB193 and L191 on different websites. several tarkov apps/websites place SB193/27 pen over L191/33 pen. websites that list pen drop on distance, claim SB193 would have 34 pens on 50m. Im not sure which one have more pen...
Atm i prefer L191 because it is much faster.
just a reminder each guns stats have their own tables. An m4 with 40 recoil is not the same as lets say an MDR with 40 recoil. back when recoil was more exaggerated this was way more noticeable with some guns being useable while others at the same recoil were completely unusable.
You actually used to be able to sell BT for some time they took it off like two or three wipes ago
Also Vector 45 is best SMG for LL 2 trader. you can buy the gun for 35k , and magazine exchange with striker cigarette.
Agreed, this is what i'm running a lot at the moment. The reset limit on mags isn't ideal, but once you've stocked up, or if you can avoid losing too many it's fine!
@@GunboatDiplomacy214 You can say that again
Just watched this whole video while re-packing my p90 mag
What sight is he using?
Kedr B with PBM rounds smokes a anything until level 3 traders get unlocked
That kill at 9:30 was wacky
Does anyone having any problems with the game? I can@t get into the game because og ip address get temporarily blocked.Do anyone knows what is happening right now?
Gigabeef, more like gigachad
Damn I didn’t realize that m1a was that cheap, might not be that amazing but it’s a cool change of pace for not too much $
Please do a video testing how the armor hitboxes / armor damage is working.
As a new player the ammo is a frikkin spreadsheet nightmare 😂
That Ash12 looks promising 😮
Hi, anyone experiencing pc shut down when Tarkov stuck at loading map? I have no idea on what to do….. I have checked my ram, psu… everything works correctly
That recoil pivot after first shot looks very strange. What is more - why pivot movement stops after it reaches some angle? Like what? Our char suddenly recalls how to brace a rifle?
New recoil is better than what it was, but its still strange.
Pivot should be removed.
I would argue against removing pivot mechanics completely, they allow to simulate much stronger recoil without disorienting the player too much, but it is strange that recoil doesn't just continiously rotate the camera upwards. I would like pivot staying as is and making recoil affect camera angle more so that you still have to control recoil after the initial pivot push
I love the ash12, and it's finally useable
Or buy any gun you like from flea a bit cheaper?
in this house we rep the G36C
I hate how edge of darkness people have 0.2 to start, that's a huge advantage
My current go to are the AS Val and vss as you need no modding, good ammo and pretty cheap mags with a barter at lvl 2 prapor. Can often get them both for under 60k!
"I can't see a difference" Meanwhile, Accuracy is a difference of 1.5 MOA.
its so hard starting out in this wipe because everyone is running around with lvl 4 6b13's off scavs and your using ammo that can barely pierce lvl 3 until you get lvl 3 traders
I've probably spent 2m on PP ammo this wipe, just buy the good ammo, it's to important.
GREAT STUFF!!!!
Although I still hate 5.45, I have no choice but to use those now.
Longer ak’s have smaller MOA
Are you alright mate? Your voice seems a bit different
Its a bit damaged after the drops stream... 14 hours will do that to a guy 😂
game needs a cmag so we can make mg36
UMP got nerfed hard this wipe
Meta Ammo progression please! ❤❤❤
ll3 ?
Bro like 5 wipes ago you could buy bt on the flea. Not "never"
You used to be able to buy ANY ammo before, including BT ;)
I HATE the fact that they moved the Berkut bag to LL2 ragman... Why are they making the grind so hard for low level rats like me??
Just be a chad
ak-545 short is good but overpriced, snag it for around 40k on flea for it to be worth it, otherwise find one and dont buy the overpriced ones
definitely not first
Al go rithm
audio way too quiet
Balls
There is not "best weapon" anymore since every weapon are no recoil, only bullet matter, i can sht on any chad rocking a 300k m4 with a ak74u stock costing me 23k
First
early gang
early gang!!!

Sorry. Have to unsub from all tarkov content till BSG fixes the hacker problem..
You do know it's like 20x better compared to early last wipe right, and they got like 10k+ bans since then.
Imagine making how to videos on tarkov, including videos that clearly shows aimbot. Pathetic. You can see the aim snap when he presses the trigger. Jesus.
