Fun fact, as you can craft blue gunpowder on workbench lvl1. The ammo costs something over 7k from trader, so you can get the shrimp cheaper than flea if you are willing to wait a little.
You can also find 5.45 PS in raid really easily, so grab them, keep them until you find something better and If you dont, craft gun powder, voila, a shrimp
The issue with this is that by the time you have prapor 2 you already have flea, and opportunity cost takes priority for crafts. Is a blue gunpowder really worth crafting if you could do a different craft faster and make more money that way?
@@Mincraf3r I always alternate between weapon parts, blue gun powder and AKs until I have the flea unlocked. And in the very beginning i try to get 120 Magnum Buck on the way so i can Rat around customs and interchange with my bonkstick Also If you dont have any materials and dont want to pay a fortune on the flea its preferable to craft something relatively worthless instead of nothing at all
One thing to note about the SAG 5.45, it has an extremely high muzzle velocity, so with BP or BT it becomes very good for racking up some early SBIH kills on c3 helmets.
Yooo, I've been waiting for this vid. I don't level as fast as most people. I'm at L2 traders now and people are making L3 and L4 builds but kinda glossed over what we can do at L2. What a treat to watch this while I enjoy my morning constitutional. Cheers!
If you want to spend slightly more on the 5.45 side just grab an rpk from the flea. Less base recoil and they usually go for pretty cheap due to killa farms
@@shibby8765 I've never really used an RPK before. I think I'm going to try out your suggestion. The hidden stats on it are rather decent. They're even slightly better than the AK-545 I was getting snipey with on Woods. Cheers friend!
@@OTOss8 Its a good time. I usually run bear and use my rpk or others I snatch off them during early wipe to get me to 15 and then the flea.. and even then you can still use it quite easily due to all the decent ammo just laying around. Happy hunting with one of my favorites in the game.
@@shibby8765 Right on man, I've been tasking with it the past two days and it's been performing beautifully. It's even nicer with today's buffs. Last night I hit a pair of 220m headshots on scavs with it. It's laser accurate and just shreds up close with pretty damned cheap ammo. I'm really enjoying it thanks to your recommendation.
The Sniper Obrez on Mechanic is for the scope mount that comes on it. You can put any scope in the game on it and it doesn't have the Ergo Hit that the Patriot does and the Height Over Bore is much less. It's still really pointless, but that's why this exists.
There’s a 9x19 version you can use, but it isn’t great. That being said, it is a bit better than the makarov (because 9x19 > 9x18 for pen) if you aren’t confident with face-taps with it.
If you don’t have access to the rubber butt pad yet a great way to get around that is to link search a 5.45 round and click on the weapons tab which will bring up all available weapons that use that round typically it’s some sort of wire frame stock ak which normally run pretty cheap (14k-22k) mostly then simply swap out the stock to the one skier sells for about 12k this will net you similar stats to a wood stock ak with a butt pad without having compete gunsmith part 6 the great thing about this option is the stock will always be 12k from skier 2 and there always be some sort of cheap wireframe ak on the flea worst case scenario buy a baby ak from prapor 2 for 24k and build like normal Edit: Forgot to mention this but the cost should also be comparable to a butt pad build too make sure to be searching for 95+ durability
The mosin barter made a ton of sense for that Jaeger task to kill PMCs on Factory (I mean, below 25m) before the PS ammo nerf - just add some lasers and it gets kinda viable in CQB. Nowadays - not so much.
So I saw this video a couple weeks ago and that short Mosin has never been bought by my PMC but I’ve had it on my skav a few times. And at around 20 m, 25, 30 m… I have haad eyes so many Pmc I can’t even tell you how nice the crouch head click and they just fall over… it kinda slaps…
ive always loved using l191 over the others cause its has the highest speed out of all of them lol. idk how to explain it, just feels nicer, like my bullets hit.
I have run into a major bug with the G36 which reduces its usability greatly. Using the G36 magnified optics (the reason why I even use the gun) the game consideres the covered up emergency irons still usable even if they are completely obscured so you need to click twice to cycle to whatever you have mounted ontop. This will probably kill you incombat when you try and aim at someone thinking you got your DP or whatever but you just block your screen with a chunk of metal your cant see through. Dealbreaker for me honestly. The Aug A1 seems to be a decent choice tho.
I love the looks of standart optic since fc1, but it is too awful to use. Its worse than Pilad Jaeger 1 scope. It would probably kill you before switching
It's not a bug, I think, at least if it is it has always been in the game, I don't remember using the G36 once without that happening (you go from red dot, to the middle piece of metal part, to the Magnified optic).
@@vanez688 yeah it's especially frustrating since so many of the russian optics dont let you use the irons on the aks something that was actually intended irl, similar to how scopes in WW2 worked in that regard.
Thanks for the useful video as always. It's such a shame how out of tough bsg are with their own game as there is so much variety, but once again everyone will stick to using the same guns like the UMP and ak74 at this trader level. Wish I could use the mp5
Bro the mp5 SD slaps!!! I slayed a geared dude with it yesterday but his buddy was right on his ass of course so I died. But it killed the guy pretty quickly with PST ammo
Eventually I would like the option to hide things I haven't unlocked from traders. Having to come to these videos to save templates is fine but when I unlock better stuff I'll never know.
gigabeef can you pls test out drd paca vs low end class 4 something like which protect you better vs things like 5.45x45 T , 9x19 pst, 9x18 pstM, 7,62x25 PST and 5.56x45 FMJ it would be helpful to know that
The two g17 barter on mechanic LL2 is one of my favorate barter in the game the RMR g17 and the g17 tac 2 for the RMR version ,you can mostly get 2 big WD40 for like 15k ,take off the RMR and sell it back to mechanic and the RMR will cost like ~6k it even include a base too for the g17 tac 2 ,if you get broken Gphone and PCB in the right time like ~12k each then the FF3 with FFWB will be almost free when I playing some SMG or want a good red dot on my 3-12,I do this barter
If they gave up it’s probably because they have ADD/ADHD and can’t handle not getting instant dopamine hits the second they load up a game. They probably won’t be successful in life because they can’t stick with anything, and aren’t very good friends to have.
I have a pretty good computer (runs every game on High 80+ Fps), but Tarkov stutters too, the game is unoptimized as fuck, the best you can do is turn binaural off, it pretty much too 50% of my frames this wipe.
@BubbleNuts better to run any fame really on a SSD whether it's a M.2 or 2.5" ssd, as per GPU, anything from the likes of a gtx1080 and up will be fine, even a RTX2070 etc should be good
SKS has significantly beter hidden stats dont look at recoil numbers they are literally meaningless cuz BSG is a joke of dev sks doesnt have horrifically bad horizontal recoil the only thing akm does better is automatic fire (which wont hit fuck all cuz the recoil is bad unless you build it out)

Love that ergo on it. Runs a little cheaper on flea. Mods are cheap. Compensator, afg, and replace stock with ds150.
Just did my first SBIH on customs with the SAG ak, works amazing
its absolutely shit though
Talk about perfect timing, I just hit lvl 16 last night, will be pushing for 20 over the next few nights.

Hey Gigabeef, the Chiappa Rhino tactical is the REWARD for Stirrup. So you can't use it for that quest.
Up vote peopleee
You can get the rhino from Jaeger before completing stirrup, two different versions
There’s a 9x19 version you can use, but it isn’t great. That being said, it is a bit better than the makarov (because 9x19 > 9x18 for pen) if you aren’t confident with face-taps with it.

You can craft 300 sp6 ammo which is basicly same as 762bp and with scav dur changes you can now get high enough dur vss from flea consistantly.
I really like this video. Very informative. Keep on keepin' on

Dont forget the M4 sopmod also comes with a rubber butt pad.
The AK74n workbench craft is 10k rn if you replace the handguard and stock and reuse the stock ones for your next craft. It's amazing

ive always loved using l191 over the others cause its has the highest speed out of all of them lol. idk how to explain it, just feels nicer, like my bullets hit.
Great summary!
I find the SwampFox 3x is a great all purpose optic.
Good punisher optic
You can't use the Rhino .357 for stirrup, because you get it from completing stirrup lol.
i complted stirrup with 1911 and 11round mags. Its was fun
Jaeger lvl 2 has the base version at lvl 15
Camp locked quest doors like in big red; people will talk shit but you'll be done with stirrup lol
I literally brought 5 pistols last wipe for this mission. switching is faster than reloading.
I just used the glock18 cause I suck 😂

The pp19 is my favorite gun, and you're definitely right, 9x19 is ass, but I've never heard someone hate it as much as you haaahaha.
Great video man
Gigabeer’s streamer item better be a Grade A Slab of Beef that is HUUUGE
Or ripped out the wazoooo
Now I can die taking headshots from scavs with the best guns from level II traders! 😂 Just kidding, thanks for the great informative video!
headeyes
I must say the APB did wonders on factory for stirup
APS for Stirrup was a blast.
What are your thoughts on using the VSS?
its very good with sp5 this early
I don't like full auto with it but semi can be powerful with SP6 even later on. Scav guns durability change was a good one for these weapons too

The two g17 barter on mechanic LL2 is one of my favorate barter in the game
the RMR g17 and the g17 tac 2
for the RMR version ,you can mostly get 2 big WD40 for like 15k ,take off the RMR and sell it back to mechanic
and the RMR will cost like ~6k it even include a base too
for the g17 tac 2 ,if you get broken Gphone and PCB in the right time like ~12k each then the FF3 with FFWB will be almost free
