Loving this game and will definitely try this gun I think I'd like to see you actually buying the stuff from the store like you did in your shotgun video, and id also love if you include in your builds if its possible to suppress the weapon and what level / components you need for that too! Great vid!
Thanks man, no worries. Yeah tried something a little different when showcasing, mainly due to the fact I wanted to show a few upgrades and combos etc :-)
As a day 1 player, this has been the only gun I've been rocking since the update, it's so good and it's nice that you get good rounds off the bat from Turncoat
I use the level one build plus a suppressor I found. Worked great YBL close quarters also FYI, you can use EXPS one or two directly to the hand guard without additional mount as well as the flashlight.
Just tried it out last night. Even just grabbing one off the ground is not bad (except the the rear iron sight). I just unlocked artisan so gonna experiment with some Frankenstein builds tonight lol
love this gun, its my favorite! im still running level 1 but soon will be level 2 artisan. Great build tutorial, it saves all the guess work on my end! Thanks Sin!
Do not sleep on HP 5.45 rounds. They're absolutely monsterous on most enemies, and can body heavily armored military guys as long as you don't aim center of mass, but a bit higher towards the neck/face/head
We could really need a new ammo chart. Tire 2 gunny don't sell M855 no more and the most tasks is up against level 3 or 3P armor, and I think they nerfed the M855, 545PS too. Been rough fighting the FN, bots tanking my rounds and one tap me if I make any mistakes, and I don't make a lot of mistakes solo myself to level 23. The most safe way is using long range rifles try to take them out one by one. Wishing you can do a new video about it so no one have to go through what I been through.
Yeah there isn't as much choice at the moment. Range needs to be fixed too as seems AI tank bullets at range. Best success so far for me is 7.62x39 PS rounds. Using an SKS or AK15
I picked up this gun off an enemy and decided to check out if Artisan had anything to spice it up and did the exact lvl1 build you mentioned. Immediately I tried and found it was a slept on gun, it's my go to for the starting area atm~
I picked one up, thought “ew I hate ak74u in every game” and threw it back down. Later when laying in bed I thought “wait that is 5.45 and this is grayzone, F***” gotta go find another now 😂
I can name some more upgrades if you can find them in crates that worth taking: - DTK-1 muzzle brake (+45% recoil reduction - 5% more than the DTK-2), but maybe you prefer the PBS-04 suppressor - RK-3 pistol grip, best pistol grip for AKs. Usually found in prebuilt AKs in crates, inspect the weapons and detach from them - RK-1 foregrip
You can buy the RK1 from level 2 Artison but went with the R6 for more handling due to the DK2 being awesome for making the gun stable :-) But the other mentions are for sure good choices for upgrades :)
@@SiNisterFPS Are they more in the late game tasks or do you know how far in they are? Also are they only task rewards or can you buy them ie meaning the ammo can and med box thanks for the info and help
I think this game is really suffering with hit reg once you get over certain distances. Up close i usually dont have issues after the update but distance it like the bullets dont even hit dont see them get hit or any blood effects when your far away
Yea I’d love to try but since the update it’s unplayable. 6 months ago I was getting about 90fps on a 3080 and in this update I get about 30 with stutters every two seconds. So broken
@@mowgli5679 can’t lie my performance is much better now, smooth above 60 in 4K only stuttering on the helicopter. Glad they’ve made so many improvements.
I only have 2 missions left in starter town and none of my vendors are half way. Also been playing since release with no issues. Yesterday I crashed 3 times in an hour and lost all the gear each time. No flashlights to buy, no gear really. Was just walking through the jungle each time. Very discouraging losing all the supporter gear that was paid for. I also have 380hrs into the game and have never had these problems
@@SiNisterFPS running optimal, have an i9 NV 4090 TI, 64 ram. Never ever had an issue. Watched your setting although AMD. Games runs great, other than the sudden crashes, which I can deal with as they work through it. The hard to swallow is the loss of gear and not being able to buy it back. I’m a hoarder so my BP is loaded every extraction so $ isn’t an issue even still in early tasks. Guess I’ll continue to work through it and watching your motivating streams. Hope it get right as DF is releasing, although I am a GZW from day 1. Appreciate you bro and congratulations on the shout out in game, well deserved as you have done so much for the community.
once that Butt-pad loses any durability it then only gives you negative stats along with most of the attachments and it actually is better to just not have them which really sucks. that degration system they put in the game really ruins the whole "gear-fear" part of gear when it becomes worthless almost immediately.
Yeah I strongly believe that unless it has a hit box and has been hit, realistic degradation is so close to negligible IRL anyway. AR’s run for thousands of rounds before the barrel needs changing, and other parts degrade or break slower in many cases. AK’s are legit famous for being 4-5 MOA guns after months in the mud. I do think a skill system to balance out weapon quality with ‘experience’ could work wonders, and I know something like it has been discussed in the roadmap, but this durability system is bonkers and has to go. AR barrels should last 10-20k rounds depending on base quality level. Triggers and other internals/mods structural parts for guns shouldn’t break 0:45 some efficacy or break from being ‘dropped’ when you’re killed. But yeah this is Tears of the Kingdom BS rn, especially considering what is the standard gameplay loop. And we need a .308 AR and at least one or two LMGs. PMCs 20 years ago were acquiring RPKs and shit for Iraq contracts. I ramble, but I’ll end on this - Gunny secret mission 6-cylinder grenade launcher reward when?!

As a total newb i noticed a lot of people rocking it, and i even saw a Daniel defense stock on it for that recoil control
Yeah, great gun man :-)

@@MBG17686 no worries mate :-)
Did this exact build last night and was blown away! Can't wait to unlock different parts for it!
Yeah, I’m interested in what level 3 vendors will offer
With a compact buttstock you can even bring it's size down to 2x3. Awesome little powerhouse :)
I run this or a similar build pretty often, definitely a solid every day carry. Always super easy to find ammo on the go with it as well.
You should totally showcase the AK 308 and the MP5
Do not sleep on HP 5.45 rounds. They're absolutely monsterous on most enemies, and can body heavily armored military guys as long as you don't aim center of mass, but a bit higher towards the neck/face/head
To add you can find a buffertube mod in starter area weapon chests which lets you attach western stocks
@@Mult1Core good tip :-)
I need to add that, the Level 1 AKS-74U + T1 or T2 scopes work amazing with night vision googles
Great add
We could really need a new ammo chart.
Tire 2 gunny don't sell M855 no more and the most tasks is up against level 3 or 3P armor, and I think they nerfed the M855, 545PS too.

I picked one up, thought “ew I hate ak74u in every game” and threw it back down. Later when laying in bed I thought “wait that is 5.45 and this is grayzone, F***” gotta go find another now 😂
Ak12 is great too. Pha Lang airfield
the sight on the handguard just looks so cursed haha
I assume the ak-74m sight mount (that the ai in ban pa, etc) will work, but I haven’t tried yet.
That seems pretty epic to be honest.. I have been rocking the shotguns a LOT recently. Really enjoying them still
Shotties are awesome

@@Three16HD thank you :-)
The fact that the vaults in Midnight Sappire are gone is crap! I have no more money thanks to forth narith. You should reintroduce the vaults ALL!
I’d like to know how to get the ammo can and med box for storage
@@WoodNewt do the missions and some of them reward you with those boxes
@@SiNisterFPS Are they more in the late game tasks or do you know how far in they are? Also are they only task rewards or can you buy them ie meaning the ammo can and med box thanks for the info and help
nice gun for clearing building or need to be close combat, lightly and quick shooting
Exactly :-)
technically the AKS-74U is worse than the AK74M but man I love it
@@GoodboiOfficial yeah for sure but there is something about the AKS 74U which makes me prefer it haha
I think this game is really suffering with hit reg once you get over certain distances. Up close i usually dont have issues after the update but distance it like the bullets dont even hit dont see them get hit or any blood effects when your far away
thanks man!
Hey Sin do you have your PC build specs listed anywhere? I would love to get the frames you're getting. Thanks.
AMD 5900x, 32gb ram, 4070TI 12 gb
Why buy a pre-built and remove parts when you can just buy all the parts separately and save money?
Depends when you bought it, my bro bought a Pre build in covid and it was cheaper than actually buying the parts at the time
Can we get a vid on you using aks 74u with suppressor
Was using one on stream yesterday, Its pretty good. Got it from an AI in Fort N
Does the B33 or any other upper receiver fit it? I dont like the sights that far away
No
Maybe there is something similar for it but I have yet to find it
@@Vireca not yet, maybe level 3 vendors
Love the build and how it handles, but my first time using it after using two clips and dying, the gun went down to 15 % any suggestions?
Do you mean it went down by 15% so durability was like 75% ? That would be crazy if it was down to 15% only if
@SiNisterFPS it went down to 15 percent use left . I do like the build so will try again.
@@robertpeddle2391 did you loot the gun from ai?
Can u drop an sks build vid
whats the G24 in ur secure slot?
Night vision
Hell yeah its fun using it too, trying to find a silencer for it
@@nauj8593 yeah I enjoy it a lot :-)
@@nauj8593 got one off a kitted out 74M from a weapon box at sawmill
Is there any reason to run it after unlocking turncoat tho?
@@niceman3706 yeah, new weapon and it’s very viable. I still use it over the AK47M, the beauty of this patch is so many weapons are working well
@SiNisterFPS oh no, I'm not saying it's bad just that it's less customizable
have they fixed performance?
Patch out today brings back frame gen which was what a lot of people where using on Nvidia cards
Hey great build man talk about no recoil. Thanks for sharing. Are 7.62 ak still garbage this wipe?
@@tylerbaum4236 No they really good tbh, was using the AKM with PS 7.62 ammo to clear fort N today
No silencer available for this gun?
Not yet, you can however get a AKS with a silencer at Fort N
