The Best Weapons & Ammo For LL1 Traders! (Patch 0.14)

54r SP BT out of a mosin is 20something pen and thorax one shot its been very effective for me for all the paca timmies, brutal round first week

Vepr 7.62x39 with PS ammo (easy to find on scavs) ,,, and if you find some PSO Silencer , Akademia Bastion dust cover and some Colimator with 20 round mags (+5 Ergo)... The TOP of the TOP earlygame Gun ...
After the new Recoil, there is also good opportunity to use the AK 103 7.62x39 with some silencer and PS ammo .

You can also try an SAIGA - 9x19 kitted with silencer and builded up like Vityaz PP-19 with the PST 9x19 ammo ... It SLAPS so hard, the recoil feels like is 0...
Last wipe, the TKM ammo for VPO .366 TKM - FMJ/EKO was good ... now 20 Bullets cannot penetrate Class 4 armor and can't kill with blunt damage the reciever of the shot...
The ARmor vetst now have SIGNIFICANT effect of the tactical outcome of the battle. A Scav tanked 20 rounds 7.62x39 SP ...until I hit him in the HEAD...
He was wearing the 4 Class Armor Plate Carrier 6B-15 Uley Chest Rig ... After 20 shots, this rig has lost no more than 20 durability.... shoted with TKM .366 EKO or FMJ ... Lost no more than 15...

technically speaking you don't need to finish gunsmith part 2 to put a laser on the pp-19 because you can simply use the Axion Cobra dovetail mount and put a laser on it simply after unlocking jaeger level 1.

I was wondering why leg meta felt less meta

Realistically, the aspect that low pen rounds’ damage is more impacted by plates than high pen rounds’ damage may be an implementation of bullet deformation.

I hate what BSG did with the ammo. PS and M855 at level 3 make no sense. All beginner rounds moved to the end game is ridiculous!

Its kinda funny how Most of the decent ammo which scavs even Run IS locked behind Trader Levels 3+

you sound tired brother. as always amazing content, super helpful. take care of yourself though, we need you.

New recoil makes it feel like a stupid spray and pray siege game. All those hours to learn the skill of bursting and moving home

Is it even viable to use SMG as maing weapon? I used up myý M5ps from start andthen just go with assault rifles I dont see why would it be preferable to use SMG at start

i personally dont use any of the suggested ammos and have much more success focusing on the early ammos with high fragmentation and bleeds. focus on leg meta till you unlock stuff that actually pens lvl 4

Gigabeef, BEAR still has a boat load of BP despite now it has more pen than 7n40-

I GOT SO MUCH COME ON ME

50bmg shells 1 shots tier 4 in the chest btw

auuuuuuuuuuuug

thought this was an AI gigabeef for a second lol
great video tho, i love the pp-19

Level 1 traders just kind of suck now. The recoil is nice though.

Your incredible at doing this. Every word you say has actual value the background music is actuallly great. <3 love u bro

Solidly informative video mate! Thank you 🙏

Remember, the picatinny version of the Kobra red dot can not only fit on the ADAR, but clears the front sight as well! An early wipe way to use the ADAR without worry.

Aks74ub rips now

My favorite this wipe is to craft AKMs from Weapon bench lvl1 from vepr136's, been slaying even with SP rounds

Also obligatory bibageef

I bought an AUG for the first raid and survived 10 in a row lol

I found class 6 front and a side plate in 1 raid

Hey Giga! Are you okay man you sound sick! 😢

I definitely prefer mp5 irons at the moment, if you have high ground on someone its difficult to see your reticle because the snow will make it invisible due to its brightness

I really appreciate your excellent work sweet beefyboi! You must be the hardest working man every wipe. Hope you are able to get a rest and heal your poor voice. I’m an unashamed AKS fanboy and it’s the only 5.45 I end up using because it makes me happy and suits my mediocre solo play style. Every scav run has been focused on scooping up 5.45 ammo and stumbling across any hideout/mission items is a bonus. There’s so much BT -> PPBS just laying around that often goes overlooked. Take care of yourself and I recommend you have some black tea with honey and lemon for your throat ❤ Keep up the great work!

1 vs self audio battles...

Bastion rail for all the AKs has been removed on Level 1 - yesterday or today even - or am I wrong?

TT is so strong this wipe <3

good info!

gigabeef has a sore throat :(

But before the wipe I swore by the AUG, I'm so glad the recoil changes have happened but sadly I've burnt myself out with Tarkov

Honestly the recoil looks a bit too good.

I hated the former system, but everything has been turned into a laser. I wouldn't mind if they tuned it up, because with the pivot at the shoulder now we shouldn't ever get those ridiculous jumping sprays as if the stock disappeared.

feel better son

I accidentally gave skied 3.5k dollars smh

Have they put .366 AP-M as craft only??

unless a behind the scenes change has happened, fmj 366 is 23 pen, not 28

Great info, best tarkov content around. thank you

thanks sir been waiting for a vid like this. you delivered big time ❤

SKS is in a really good place right now.

I believe its inaccurate to call the VPO's Viable in CQB, even compared to the stock SKS. VPO has god awful recoil, making it harder to hit follow-up shots, making its operating-rate of fire lower than the SKS.

The VPO is more suited to medium-long range; being able to fit a suppressor so early on hints at this

yeh a 10 Round AUG cause u cant buy the 3 0round mags yeh nah

Thank you for the content.

You did not mention shotguns. They have been very good to me this wipe. I’m not sure if the armor rework has something to do with it but they are killing it for me!

I wish i could also enjoy these weapons but there are SO MANY bolt action quests, that i just cant ignore them and have to force myself to play them basically only ...

cant wait to try out the aug later in the wipe just as a have-fun type gun

In the meantime me approaching LL4 traders 😂 just quest. I know early quest are dog poo but later on they will get pretty rewarding in terms of XP. And yeah avoid stupid PMC fights for nothing. No point fighting over an SKS or mosin.
