The RFB is definitely one of my go-to's, but only because it's cheap. Some M80, a sight and a few mags runs you 90-100k on the max, and is perfect for taking down semi geared players at mid range. On the other hand it's really just a glorified hunter. Gross ergo and higher than average recoil makes it something I use exclusively for budget runs.
Underrated option to rfb: do mp-135 barter for 15k and slap a cheap sight on it for 10k. ap-20 mostly one taps level 4 armor in the thorax which is insane for a round that cost 350 roubles or 1k on flea if you don't have it unlocked from jaeger. It's perfect for both close and long range. Its honestly the only thing i run on reserve. Suppressors are cheap as well. In other words, I can buy this build multiple times before reaching the cost of the stock rfb which also never will be returned in insurance.
You're completely right about the strength of some of the shotguns in this game, especially with AP20. However there are definitely things that the RFB does better, and I get them back from insurance enough that I continue to insure.
@@Gazabyte Everyone picks up RFB even when its not early wipe cause its like 3-4 slots. Get OP sks, put sight on it and use PS until u can craft BP. Shoot for head.
my biggest problem with rfb is that it cant have lasers. Lasers make a huge difference when hip firing so its a must have for me. Thats why i prefer the stock m1a for budget runs
That can be an issue, however this build still remains cheap enough, and I find the only time you really want to point fire with this gun is when you are in bad breaths distance.
It's all part of building the playstyle around the type of gun you bring in. Sure, close range firefights happen, but running the RFB, you need to try and keep the engagement on your terms, mid to long range.
Also you could just get a vepr hunter unmodded for about 25-30k slap a scope on for about 50-60k more only downside is you will only get 10rd mags compared to the rfb
@@Gazabyte test the accuracy and see if it even makes a very big difference, for me I have been slapping heads with a 50dura hunter considering most of my fights are pretty close up running interchange meeting people in stores.
It depends though doesn't it, would you rather have a more reliable (less prone to misfiring) RFB, or a 15k cheaper vepr. It's personal preference I suppose, but I wouldn't want to use a vepr hunter at 50 Dura over long range.
an ak is just better for 100k though... i can make a 53 recoil ak for 60k including gun and then just shove bs in for 800 each so about 50 bullets and 53 recoil ak for just price of an rfb...
I definitely see your point, though you're going to want a lot more ammo for an AK, as if you run into someone at close range you'll most likely want to magdump, or at least go full auto. Ammo is a huge part of what makes a gun so expensive.
Fair enough, if that works for you I suppose that's what you should continue doing! This guide is meant for those who can't kill Killa, or other well geared players consistently enough to stockpile ammo and kits. Good luck in your raids! 👍
I consider mid wipe to be anything after a month or 6 weeks, as people are unlocking flea market and making their way towards bigger and better loadouts, but the economy isn't flooded yet!
Decent gun but most my buddies right now wont waste the money buying these every run to kill geared kids lol. I recommend them the kedr. As long as the enemy doesn't have an altyn on spray at his face and youll kill him. guns 20k mags are 3k amo is 25k for 350. Can run these constantly without worry since you'll usually bring back more than the whole guns worth 4x over. So if you want cheap chad killers stop fucking with shotties and other guns and rock the kedr. learn the spray and beam kids faces. It only takes one bullet. No one ever recommends the kedr and its nuts...
The Kedr is a solid option, I'm actually currently in the planning stages of a recommendation for it! The RFB fits a slightly different role. It's not budget in the way that it's super cheap, but it's relatively inexpensive and over mid to longer ranges and even short ranges when point firing, it absolutely nails what it needs to do. Plus it's nice to have a few different options for killing geared players!
Okay, the base gun costs as much as an M4. This doesn't take into account the type of gun, ammo you buy, amount of ammo, style of play this gun is intended for, how little you need to mod this Vs an M4 etc. Just because the base gun costs another 20k, doesn't mean the whole build is stupidly expensive compared to similar setups.
I disagree, this gun is firing a sniper cartridge with some crazy power. If you play even slightly passively you can get some crazy work done with this gun, and the point of the video was that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get a weapon built to challenge players with top tier gear.
After watching this video, have YOU started using the RFB?
Literally wiped 5 guys outside of IDEA on a nighttime raid on interchange with this thing, it do be underrated 👍
Nice one mate, it's crazy how few of them I see in raid!
Was just looking at grabbing an RFB this video just solidified it for me to start using it

but it sounds cool....
RFB and sks with BP round has been by go up. The feel of sks is better tho
A well built SKS is definitely a strong gun, but I believe the RFB can be bought earlier, and is generally more effective in my hands!
I really enjoy this gun and this video was informative and well done
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
very much in agreement :)
Gun feels amazing hip firing too, barely need to ADS. Dunno why, it just works.
So true, a shame they made changes this wipe with how you buy it but it's my favourite gun in the game, hands down!

Just took out a 3 man with this build. Thanks!!
OP sks with 20 round stendos really be clapping tho
True, nothing quite like the punch of M80 though!

You're right, it does, but you're tied to using one specific optic, which can be annoying.
you sir have earned my sub, golden video mate.
Thank you!
People say the rfb stands for ‘really fucking bad’ I honestly disagree. It’s cheap and effective
I find it to be such a great machine for M80. Sometimes the accuracy leaves a bit to be desired but mostly it's reliable and budget enough!
Until you end up in a CQB, then you get smashed by auto guns, on midrange it is splendid.
It's all part of building the playstyle around the type of gun you bring in. Sure, close range firefights happen, but running the RFB, you need to try and keep the engagement on your terms, mid to long range.
@@Gazabyte Thats hard for a reserve player who likes to go for all the locked rooms hehe
True, but I suppose that's a situation where you go for a full auto gun! 👍
Also you could just get a vepr hunter unmodded for about 25-30k slap a scope on for about 50-60k more only downside is you will only get 10rd mags compared to the rfb
The thing about that is that getting a 95%+ durability hunter from the flea, you're paying 45k anyway, so you might as well go for an RFB

Good video bro
IMO i think this is the best budget gun.
It's incredibly good, and doesn't break the bank!
If you’re using this gun you are already a chad
I disagree, although you'll definitely be on the road to becoming a better player!
Most Positive of Comments.
Too kind! :)
Will you continue with the Boss videos? they are pretty nice tbh.
Thanks for the comment! I do plan on finishing up the boss guides, yes! Next is probably Tagilla, not sure when though!
Thx
I'm about to try this build out on Woods wish me luck lol
I hope it worked out for you!
@@Gazabyte It did, I uninstalled Tarkov and have been much happier since lol
Damn! That bad? Lol
@@Gazabyte Yea it's okay though, I switched over to Squad and have been having fun again.
off topic but whats the name of the song used in the vid, it sounds familiar
The song is Jindupe by Lauren Duski. You may have heard it in other RUclips videos as it's from RUclips's free to use audio library.
@@Gazabyte Thanks bro ngl this is a bop to me
There's some really great music in that catalogue!
Is this channel the wario version of gigabeef
That's funny! We're both UK RUclipsrs who sound semi-similar so I guess so! I've actually been on Beefs podcast too 👍
this is pog
40 rounds with 20 spare? sooo 1/2 a decent raids worth... :p
Depends how conservative you are! :D
Thanks for the info 👍
Comment for the Al Gore rhythm
That made me chuckle, thanks for the support!
an ak is just better for 100k though... i can make a 53 recoil ak for 60k including gun and then just shove bs in for 800 each so about 50 bullets and 53 recoil ak for just price of an rfb...

@@Gazabyte i only run bt + bs or igolnik i get from killa (only play interchange so if i kill him i get about 300 which is good for 2-3 raids ussually
Fair enough, if that works for you I suppose that's what you should continue doing! This guide is meant for those who can't kill Killa, or other well geared players consistently enough to stockpile ammo and kits. Good luck in your raids! 👍
@@Gazabyte if ya wanna kill killa the ak 4 taps his helmet or bring a vpo bolty with 3.66 ap to 1 tap it only costs you like 12k more
@@Gazabyte 100k just for a gun is something il never pay
Whens mid wipe?

How the heck am I going to build this gun early lvls with lvl 1 traders and no flea market. People need to watch their titles
Did I ever mention you could build it at level 1? No, I said early to mid wipe.
Dammit your like the 3rd guy on yt exposing my baby
Haha! Sorry dude, when something's this good it's gotta be shared! 😁
*relatively inexpensive build*
*base gun costs as much as M4*
yeah... inexpensive... just as much as a meta gun
Okay, the base gun costs as much as an M4. This doesn't take into account the type of gun, ammo you buy, amount of ammo, style of play this gun is intended for, how little you need to mod this Vs an M4 etc.
Just because the base gun costs another 20k, doesn't mean the whole build is stupidly expensive compared to similar setups.
Base m4 sucks though, its only good when highly modded.
where the chads?
Less of them this wipe, that's for sure.

İ dont think this is good this gun had so bad after recoiling to stable sight look at this recoil bruh
