Budget Loadouts & Cheap Early Kits For Patch 0.14!

if you wanna survive more after flea, ALWAYS buy an adrenaline and hotkey it, pop it if you survive initial contact and want an aggressive push or retreat. losing it upon death outweighs the pros

I recommend always using tactical sport headsets as a budget option. Sordins if it's heavy rain and wind and you personally like cutting that ambient noise more than hearing distance.

why the hell did pestily say not to use headsets. it sounds night and day to me, and now my cheap ass team members have an excuse to be goddamn hobos when we're supposed to be soldiers

is the press armor not bugged anymore? werent bullets going thru the front and not registerring the plate?

aaand its not budget anymore, thanks beef

I don't like using the Elcan Spectre along with a backup sight. Doing so forces you to make extra keyboard presses to move from the Spectre, then the built in iron sight, and then finally to your backup sight. The extra time it takes to do so may end up costing you your life.

I'm getting sick of this game. Wait 10 minutes to load in, spawn next to someone, get killed. Wait another 10 minutes to load in, spawn next to someone, get killed. No wonder new players fuck off. Add that they absolutely love cheats in this game because its a great earner. Buy the game, cheat, get banned, buy the game again, cheat, get banned. Everything about this game is a vicious cycle. That's what it should be called, Escape From The Cycle.

tarzan is like 10k on the flea, i dont think theres a good argument for the barter tbh

Is the press armor still bugged?

I find it much handier to have both bleed meds on 4 - heavy on press and light on release, 5 for healing. No matter what bleed you have it gets fixed fast and it will fix heavy first if you have one.

One thing to consider is buying the M32s early on helps more because its hard to spend money on Skiier, so it's an easy way to pump the money spent on that Trader until you unlock better things.

Song name at the start?

elcan with a canted red dot from the intro is insane lmao. great video for all the new players tho!

You can easily buy sport bag from fence at level one. It's better then T-bag for sure.

New player here thus maybe a silly question. But if ammo damage and penetration is so important, why is this not shown when you Inspect the ammo?

I buy bugs from fence at the beginning

incoming head/buttocks

terrible video, give up

who let bro cook

Thank You for Info

Plates in press are bugged right now and don't work. Surprised such a knowledgeable streamer is now advertising this armour so heavily.

Lowkey this is a good video but the way I play, is that my system is that I use what i find in raid so I never really thought about creating loadouts

Watching guides knowing damn well I won't be booting up tarkov again

It’s my first wipe. My scav is my money and barter and my pmc is basically only for tasks. I only stay long enough and loot enough to not get a run through and it’s working really well for me

I choose bear this wipe solely because the 90rd 5.45 BP bear provide

the best armor right now in my opinion is the FORT REDUT-M. it got a coverage of everything with soft plates LVL 3. a bit expensive but neck protection is too important this wipe.
it's around 90-130K on flea market.
I don't take armor with soft plates LVL 2 anymore because they are absolutely useless even against shotguns.

If I run this loadout I have like 10 times to raid. I expect to die more than that before actually having any success so what is the really budget loadout for a new player?

My concern with the M32 is that it is more restrictive on what helmets you can use it with.

Another is when topping off the SKS, unless you swap to your melee, your actually LOSING one round each time (cause you have to OPEN the action which ejects a round)

The uley is what i used for all of my close range mosin kills and my pistol kills. Its really great for stuff like that. At the time they were 40k on the flea and literally 700 rubles to insure of something insane like that.

I thought the press was broken why did you recommend it?

For meds, Army Bandages are available at level 1 by getting them from Fence. The cost difference from Aseptic Bandage is negligible

You should definitely try and snipe some 7.62 t46 or fmj off of fence if you dont have the flea market. imo I'm not comfortable using sp, its just not good.

Rather than the SKS at level 1, I've been using the VPO-209 from Skier 1 because even without having Jaeger 1 yet you can still buy .366 FMJ rounds pretty regularly from Fence. This gives your level 1 gun A. The same 20+ pen as your SKS but also B. High enough flesh damage to 1-hit thorax when you're hitting a different hitbox besides the plates of staple armors. It can be used with 10-round 1x1 mags from Skier 1 in pockets if you bring no vest, 20-round mags from Skier 1 for a fraction of what 20-round SKS mags cost, or the 30-round mags regularly available from Fence at level 1 which at 4.2k are still less expensive than the SKS 20-round mags. Replace the stock gas tube + handguard with AK UltiMAK M1-B from Skier 1 for 2578 (less after selling back the stock one) for an ergo+recoil upgrade and ability to mount a red dot optic for much cheaper than the Bastion dust cover. The recoil re-work this patch allows the gun (even being single-fire) to be spammable in close-range encounters.

if you're more of a mosin man early wipe, fence has pretty good ammo for early wipe like the t-46m or fmj

Not budget but vpo-209 with tkm fmj rocked for me on my way to lvl2/flee. Once done with gunsmith 2 it´s can be a really nice kit with foregrip, suppressor, lazer and picatinny rail dust cover

O yea it's gigabeef here

I so want to get in there now when anyting goes really but I can't get sucked in or I'll think about Tarkov all through my vacation and resent it for it. Looking forward to seeing what late wipe looks like with these changes.

Build loadout, insure it, die, don’t get it back, repeat.

Did they remove ricochet chance from helmets this wipe?

Awe darn, now 6b5 prices are gunna go up. Darn.

Uley with 4 less slots is worth the 4 armor everywhere and the neck, also condors are like 20k and can ricochet any round, more tanky and costs less. Also Aug A3 is 42 recoil and you can put any sight on it.

His alt name is “gigahard” 💀

I really like Umka :)

Look up how to make a tapco sks. Has mounts for sights and foregrips. with the new recoil changes + 20rnd mags, this is prolly the best early gun imo if you have decent 762x39 ammo lying around (PS and up). Can be fully built with just lvl 1 traders and the total cost to build is around 45-50k roubles.

Fence has Tac Sports very often, if you only have access to level 1 traders, and you're willing to spend a little bit more.

Don't tell people about my 40k uley for budget runs lol
