@@goyujesse I wanted to focus on the RFB this Wipe, but with the M80 changes that go out of the Window. Iam close to lvl 20 right now, so maybe i just nonstop use the RPK from now on. Or is the Gun just bad later on?
Dude I absolutely love your videos. This is my first wipe playing tarkov and you have helped me so much. Would you consider making a best loadout for each gun? Even the underdog guns considered bad. I think a "highest potential" series for all guns would be really neat. Either way, I really appreciate you!!
@@ktg_2castle960 agree, what's "best" in Tarkov will depend on a lot of factors and will often end up being subjective to each player. That this game has the level of depth and complexity to allow that is awesome.
PRO TIP: You can get PWS muzzle at level 15 from Flea market easily. People sell SAG carbine 'short' for about 50k+ with the PWS attachment still on. That way you get the 20k muzzle for only 5k as you can immediately sell the gun to mechanic for 45k.
Yay! I enjoyed using this bad boy 😂 It was perfectly fine until around day 4. Everybody got a little too chaded for my poor aim afterwards. Not bad for a lvl 3 bear lol
you can get it around ~40-45k on flea and even with basic mods it have better stats that any similar AK74N build for the same price. My mods on RPK are only: RVG,PWS,SAW, DS150 and kobra scope. 74,5 ergo (with m3 mags) and 55 recoil. Awesome gun.
Glad I stocked up on RPKs before you made this! I saw them dip as low as 35K and bought several. thankfully I think I have enough to last before the hype dies down. I can confirm it's a fantastic build!
@0:33 "Clearly the gun itself isn't what we're interested in." SPEAK FOR YOURSELF! *DOOM music playing while i turn Factory into a slaughterhouse with the M870 breacher*
its always faster to pull your gun up and look through sight it you do it from a sprint vs walking or standing still, even if you only sprint for one step. most noticeable in low ergo guns. could you test this?
In the firing range you can just hit ESC to "leave" the shooting range then jus tinteract again to refresh, don't need to like step all the way back then walk closer
Is the RPK the only LMG in the game? Seems kinda weird to have a stat in the game for literally one gun Then again the revolver skill was in the game for years before they added the Rhino, so I dunno
I heard talk of a PKM/PKP being added soon (which is technically a MMG), can only imagine they'll introduce a NATO variant of it aswell, the M249 or the FN Minimi likely. The caliber difference would require some balancing between them (PKM 7.62x54mmR same as mosin vs M249 and Minimi 5.56mm). If they add a medium machine gun class for the PKM to sit in they might add an M240 to the same class as they are both 7.62. An early game adoption of an LMG could be the MG3. As as middle point between high ergo ARs and what I can only assume would be non-existing ergo on a PKM for balancing, they could add the DP-28 or the RPD (BSG has tweeted about it in the past) in the LMG class.
They are def. gonna change that barter now lol. I like the video though, I did not know about that barter and I am level 33 lol. Im gonna go take advantage of that now.
Keep up the rate of uploads, all beneficial information. Suggestion for a video would be the most efficient uses of USD and Euros early in the wipe, say level 2 traders or less. I'm currently sitting on 10k+ USD and am unsure what I should buy with it, if anything.
More of a quick one that - USD you'll use eventually in the modules or directly with PK, EUR same but you can temporarily get rid of it once you reach wifi cameras and crafting nixxor lenses!
With a bit of luck and timing, you can replace the DTK-1 with a better muzzle at little extra cost. SAG AK-545 shorts are often sold with the AK-74 PWS CQB 74 545x39 muzzle brake. The price here is often around 45-60k. If you remove the muzzle, you can still sell the AK-545 Short for about 43k at Mechanic. Means you get the best muzzle the RPK can get for 2-15k. You lose compared to the DTK-1 2 Ergo, but you compensate for this by installing the handle of the AK-545 Short, the AK-EPG also on the RPK. So you reduce the vert recoil by -4 and the horizontal recoil by -11 and only lose 0.5 Egro at a very small additional money cost. Of course, this is associated with a bit of luck and the offers are not always that good. But I've been able to upgrade my RPK or AK-74N so many times that I think it's worth a look.
I have been testing 5.45 US ammo too shit pen at around 18 the damage is ok around 56 or something like that. But gives you -25 recoil, it's just crazy the first bullet kicks up slightly then smooth. It's good leg meta ammo for sure been buying the RPk on the flea for 40k easily one of the best guns in the game.
Something about the RPK, any other rifle with 75 recoil compare to a RPk with 75 recoil. RPK feels way better and way less recoil. I love this gun my self. But I’m still too poor to this as I rather spend the money on better armor and big backpack.
@@drunkpunk5393 lol just save your 556 for scavs until you can get better 556 then semi auto becomes alot more viable, also 545 has gotten some decent buffs
@@majora919 i gotta admit i usually find WAY more success single tapping even mid range than i do fully auto. yea thats why i tried the 545 again for 10 or so raids past few days. i sure havent noticed it with pp or bp. or w.e. is closest to pp stats.
im quite the same way, that also makes quite a bit of money just going in with scav guns, but with that money I really enjoy the modding mechanics so ill drop a few hundred k on a gun just to style on dudes
RPK is shit, bc it levels machine gun skill instead of assault rifle, you get no benefit for any other gun than itself. Better off doing the barter for the parts and chucking it on an m4 or something
This rpk is absolute dogshit....unless you are using the terrible ammo that reduces recoil this gun is pure shit. Made a longbarrel/expensive/meta rpk the other day and was crouching when I started my spray an the gun still went straight to the sky
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
I honestly think the RPK is one of the most slept on guns in the game, they’re cheap, and efficient for the price, it’s the MDR of the AK world
you can literally get it for 40k its so good early game
@@jonhadley8387 also with the muzzle velocity its good for long range taps I use it for shooter born so I can toggle full auto if needed lol
Agreed, the only reason I don't use it more is the weapon levelling. If they moved the RPK skills leveling into the AR skill, I'd use it way more.
i love this gun my 3rd wipe i bought em in bulk, haven’t used one yet but it’s sitting in my invintory waitin

Welcome to tarkov. But there is no best. Best is like 300-500k build so it’s not the best of what you want is value. That’s the beauty of tarkov

I'll probably start making more gun specific guides as people get to LL2 and LL3 traders, about now actually
You can also get a cheap ak grip from skier 2 these days for only about 8k that grants +12 ergo its the Tangodown Battle Grip. Very good value part.
The RPK also has really, really insane ergonomics. I used it last night and i wasn't expecting that

This is too funny. I was looking for a video to listen to while I search through parts to spruce up the RPK I found last night.
Was about to suggest the RPK as a video topic, but you beat me to it. Touchè Mr. Beef! Although I find the RPK the most prone for jamming.
Just as I was looking for an efficient RPK build, Giga has answered my prayers!

The breacher 870 is probably out of stock because of the black moe stock on it needed for gunsmith 14
True
Rpk,ak10,asval,vss and mk16 are underrated monsters.
I got this from a quest reward with a drum mag fell in love with it lol.

I'll add it to the list - not sure if it just feels that way or if it is real, maybe interesting to check out at some stage
Have you tried the MP7s with with subsonic ammo this wipe?
I tried the MP7A2 with a suppressor, SI Cobra grip and a PK-06 and it slapped.
Not yet, only just got to PK3 and Mech3 the other day :)
This rpk is such a hidden gem early wipe god it’s soo good for doing soo little
Hey! When will you make a video about tier 4 armours in the new patch? Quite alot armours have been added and the old ones got changed.
Very soon - coming up in a few days most likely
My man GB is pumping out the videos. Great to see, you deserve many more subs!
Only downside to rpk is leveling lmg over assault rifle
In the firing range you can just hit ESC to "leave" the shooting range then jus tinteract again to refresh, don't need to like step all the way back then walk closer
Put the akmp night sight adapter on the rpk and you get THE BEST iron sights in the game. No holo needed.

You can make the sks weapon parts even if it's not working
You will never know joy until you run an RPK with 2 95 round drums filled with Igolnik BS or BT
I kept the shotguns whenever I did the barter last wipe and ended up with like 20 M870s

"Use only available parts" in the top right while assembling weapons will limit the selections to what you have available in your stash.
can't wait for powerbanks to start going for 50k now
Ive been telling the homies to use the rpk due to it being cheap but gets the job done
Sssssshhhh giga, don't tell everyone about my rpk
olta no way
I don't know why I watch these things, I never dip under 3 mil roubles
Shhhhhhh don't tell em about this! This set up and barter trade carried me last wipe
i think the new sag ak would be a better gun for these but thats just me

Might be the weight of the weapon 🤔
Takes 2 powerbanks and 4 weapon parts now, so this lifehack is deprecated.

Don't forget to sell bolt actions, marksman rifles and shotguns to Jaeger for just a slightly higher payout than Mechanic
Plus getting money spent with Jaeger! Mechanic is easy to get money spent up with, while Jaeger can be a pain sometimes.
Ye. This RPK is UNPLAYABLE. No need in these mods when your gun still shoots everywhere but not forward as it does in stock.
You should be selling the m870 back to jaeger! He gives you more for shotguns than mechanic plus it increases your money spent with him.
Good point!
Thanks, you completely ruined the barter..

you call that broke?
