it's my go-to 5.56 rifle at this point,i like it :) i would like to note that you could just buy the cnc warrior from the flea for 8-9k usually and slap on an nt-4,works very well
A recoil built AKS-74u is cheaper and more efficient for mid game builds given 5.45's better pen. For the same ergo you're running a 95 round drum and a jmac.
Another reason why the AK-101 might edge out the MDR is that with the AK-101 it is a part of the full-size AK-74/100 family, so for weapon mastery is is shared across the whole group. So if you are deciding to focus on one weapon "type" for a wipe, sticking with this family gives you the full range of options for assault rifle rounds.
@@Gigabeef question? 1st wipe, I'm only level 15. When I open up the flea market, do I have access to everything available on the market to include items that would normally be on level 3 and up traders? Or will I only have access to stuff I have unlocked via traders as well?
@@TheGoatLocker some items are Banned on flea, but generally you can buy any item (including LL4 trader items) but usually at a higher premium than from traders
I am insanely impressed by your videos. Everytime I think 'but what about x...', it's the next thing you cover - all this to say you really do your research, put a ton of effort and cover every facet of whatever subject you're covering. I should have subscribed sooner :)
reletivaly new to tarkov, you're guides have been great to help me be more cost efficient in the earlier stages of the game and helping me understand the VAST customization options for weapons in this game. Cheers.
YES! The Prism 2.5x! No one ever mentions it, except you, the first time I saw someone show it off in a video was your SR-25 builds video from a few wipes ago. It's a bit of a niche sight because there's so much going on with the reticle but once you get used to it it's a really good sight for medium ranges. Like you said in the SR-25 video, it does very, very well at Tarkovs typical engagement ranges. EDIT: Was also gonna shoutout the Tac-30 barter for two Vodkas from lv1 Jaeger and the basic 30mm scope mount also from lv1 Jaeger. It's a good way to get a cheap but good sight early on and if you're hard stuck on Jaegers questline. Also, love the way you're adding the post-raid killfeed into the raid as it plays out, great addition!
@@Gigabeef Didn't actually know about the new 3x scope, I haven't unlocked it yet and this video is the first time I've seen it. Looks really clean, gonna have to try it when I can!
Thanks for this guide btw. I think I've finally hit the point in my Tarkov career where "being cheap is expensive", because I have enough game and angle knowledge that I'm not dying "randomly" as much. I was running this on Customs yesterday with a burris + delta point using that jaegar 3 mount, and don't think I died at all. I had a buddy with me, but I was killing entire other 3 man squads while he was trying to get to flank position sometimes. I couldn't have done it with an AKM or SKS or UMP or something else super budget. Ammo is a bit of an issue for sure, but I think I'll alternate between this and the AK 74N while I build up a supply from crafting. Only time I died with it was to Tagilla on factory. I'm level 23 still trying to finish delivery from the past lmao. I've never had this much trouble with it. But I digress, thanks again.
It's gonna go up for a while and after about a week it'll be back to normal. This always happens when big RUclipsrs make video on something. People get really excited really fast and then quickly forget/get bored and go back to what they used to do before.
@@facelessgreen8997 Thats literally when Landmark makes a ''---- is good'' video then the gun and attachments go up in price heavily, happened with the MP7 hype.
Gigabeef I got to say, you have absolutely fucking outdone yourself (and many of your peers) with the uploads this wipe. Cheers mate, I look forward to your videos every week!😆
Usually give the 556 ammo to my friends who use the caliber, I've been pretty happy with 545 this time: as good or better numbers and easy to acquire, either through scav runs on reserve or through Prapor 2 (BP/BT), Prapor 3 (BS) and Igolnik (WB3).
5.56 should be a lot better than it is currently. There's definitely some Russian bias here. In reality the Russians have almost no armor piercing rounds available for soldiers or even special forces a lot of the time. Igolnik is a museum round. M995 is going to outperform any 5.45 rounds in circulation. M855A1 is also going to perform better than nearly all 5.45, as it reliably penetrates SAPI Level 3 plates (which are rated to stop M80 rounds). Not to mention it also has very good terminal ballistics, as it still reliably fragments and the armor piercing tip and copper slug seperate. 5.56 as a general rule will cause significantly more flesh damage. Even basic M855 (which is regarded as a mediocre round) will be more deadly than any and all 5.45 rounds. The reason it's so much more deadly is because they fragment will near 100% reliability (unless you're shooting at extended distances of 300-500m), the fragmentation rates in Tarkov are far too low. Some of 5.45 rounds have a higher fragmentation rate than M855a1, which is blatantly not true. I just find it absolutely ridiculous the 7n40 round in Tarkov is better than m855A1 in every way with significantly lower recoil. Nikita is literally smoking meth if he thinks that's true LOL. Drunk Russians.
@@weasle2904 It's not accurate because it's a game. 2 wipes ago when 5.56 was king, the game sucked donkey balls, because you could full auto spray with near laser accuracy at high levels. I agree that the kneejerk reaction nerf may have taken it too far in the opposite direction, but I'm pretty sure nobody wants to go back to how 5.56 behaved before where all other rounds (and therefore most guns) got completely ignored because they couldn't compete.
@@weasle2904 While I do appreciate the insight into how these rounds work in the real world, as the comment above said, I think it's best to look for a middle-ground in the game balance realm, not focus purely on realism on this matter. The game is set in a fictional (if admittedly Russian) setting where PMC's should and would be restricted in the weaponry they use, it's much more interesting to have a game system which allows for diversity of playstyle than an immersive simulator which gets the famous min-max treatment. "Give gamers a chance and they'll optimize the fun out of any game" or something like that, as the saying goes.
The ak-101 has been my sleeper no recoil laser beam for about 3 patches now. I started using it because I have a Bulgarian Ak-101 clone in real life and I was pleasantly surprised with just how user friendly it is in almost any situation in any map.
I was always fan of AK 101 for a budget gun, its bit lower fire rate, but so much cheaper few wipes ago to run. I'd try to just buy stripped down main off flee and build them up for about 20k of parts + optics.
as a note to any noobs watching this looking for good weapon builds, It is always worth spending a bit more to have a scope you are confident with. Also, at this stage you probably dont have easy access to good 5.56 ammo so I might table this until you unlock it from the Peacekeeper questline.
As much as I like the ak 101 I don't really see a reason to run it over the 7.62 ak's unless you specifically want the 5.56 suppressors and want lower recoil in exchange for an overall worse round
The 101 really feels good this wipe! ..although it looked like you would have killed those poor guys with pretty much any weapon - those were some very lucky sprays :D Nonetheless it was very fun and entertaining to watch, as always!
personally ive been using the ak104, or whatever the cheapest 7.39 ''modern'' ak is, with the russian acog and a supressor, it costs like 50k total to mod and its great as a dmr-ar hybrid , i really dont feel like 556 nato is good until u unlock at least 856a1
Haven't played for 2,5 weeks. Been on a roadtrip through europe from sweden Stockholm (i live there) all the way down to italy where I have some relatives. On my way back home now in around 4 days. Have been watching your content to keep up with the news! Good thing I grinden out and got lvl 3 traders in ≈1,5 weeks so I'm not that far behind. Can't wait to play!
There’s a strange issue with the 101’s recoil that I don’t see on most other guns. The horizontal recoil is extremely jumpy even at meta recoil numbers and tends to make you miss your target completely when spraying at longer ranges. This combined with the 30 round mag size really makes me hate this gun
So i'm a little interested in the choice of the RVG Black foregrip for the Lvl3 traders, since the native M-Lok AFG series of grips has the exact same stats while costing around 2.5k less than the RVG + Rail mount. Not that the money makes a tremendous difference it's just that i wonder why people pass up those simpler grips, is it Rouble to Dollar conversion for the RVG?
Gigabeef i dont know if you or anyone knows this but using the rear iron sight for aks (the weird yellow dot one) actually significantly reduces the recoil.
It's funny to hear someone say that 5.56 got a buff when the A1 variants are banned from the flee, even thought the shittier M856A1 is literally worse than 5.45 BT (and now on par with BP), which isn't. Now that wouldn't have been that of an issue if it wasn't locked behind a quest so far down the quest line, it's mostly irrelevant by the time you unlock it. You can craft it, but it's a 12.5hr / 200 rounds craft. Even ignoring the cost per round, it's stupid.
Eh with the flea price going up to 60k even for 102s I’d rather run something else. It’s slow fire rate gets me killed in CQB where stuff like the G36 just melts people up close and for cheaper. Long boy G36 with saker supp and an optic and good to go. XC1 or PEQ for tax devices, throw the bipod on there and leave the default stock. My go to fun gun this wipe that slaps - prone burst fire out to 150m lands multiple shots and is fun to use over semiauto (full auto CQB obviously)
Hey, I don't think the SAG PWC muzzle is compatible anymore. There's a PWS CQB 74 and a PWS CQB, the latter is the only one compatible with the 101, and you can't get that from a SAG AK far as I can tell. However: it is still really good on 545 AKs so I will probably use this trick if I find the right price on SAG Aks
Love you man. I am L2 traders, so ammo is limited. Is the AK-105 better for L2 traders, since I can use PP ammo for the 105, for the 101 I can only get M855 and M856
Cheers! Tbh I was just using the AK74N or AKS74UN from prapor, I ran through the budget builds for them in this vid: ruclips.net/video/NqWnn6ep5tw/видео.html
This is post me leaving ALL my loot in raid trying to get the second guy :) I learned my lesson! People's stuff sucks anyway haha, better to have barter loot than gear most of the time, sad but true
@@Gigabeef honestly yeah. Player loot became awful when you couldn't put all their gear and ammo on the flea market. You use to make hundreds of thousands per kill at times, now it's pennies if you want to sell to traders. And I usually don't like the gear people run so I don't want to reuse it.
Is there any chance you could cover some builds/ammo for shooter born in heaven? Ever since they added damage/pen dropoff its much harder to reliably do 35 damage, 100+ meters away while penetrating a tier 4 helmet
5:32 this is basically how I have my hog hunting WASR set up, no light but with a rail I could easily transfer a light onto. Form 1 suppressor. MI $120 mount with a cheap amazon 4x scope HAHAHA. This thing slaps but is HEAVY AS FFFFFFFFFFF Even with the supersonic Russian the hogs have no idea where they are being shot from... It's glorious.
I get why the prism is good but i would never use it. Having bad frames already putting any magnification on my gun and rendering a second view lags my game considerably and makes it harder to quickly react. I can live with this in long range engagements but for something like 2.5x id rather have a 1x with good frames for quick flicks
I like the build but why? I don’t see why anyone would choose to run this over the AKM/103 now that PS is 35 pen and 57 damage. Sure you can craft 56A1 but you only gain 2 pen and lose 3 damage. Plus it’s much more expensive to run. Now if you are running higher rof weapon ok but at similar ROF the 7.62 variants make more sense.
Tarkov ballistics says 3-5 depending on the armor (they give a range). Will be because the pen chance is low to start with: tarkov-ballistics.com/charts/shots_to_damage_by_class.html
RUclips really needs to find a way to flag up these comments more obviously!! I know we've spoken more recently but I can't believe it doesn't have a special feed for these 🤦♂️
I'm honestly just totally stuck in the early game man, LL1 traders give you total dogshit that if your not like above average in skill it's such a slog. I can't even get my damn Jager quest don't lmao maybe I just suck at Tarkov but weird thing is I'm usually really good/high ranked in other FPS games but for some reason until I get access to decent guns/ammo and sights I just get slapped 80% of the time
Tarkov isn't like other FPS to be honest, shooting is only part of it! And even the shooting is a bit weird for a start, but so much of the game is map knowledge, player flow, pathing etc - don't get discouraged, it gets easier :)
Have you tried the AK-101 yet since the buffs?
it's my go-to 5.56 rifle at this point,i like it :)
i would like to note that you could just buy the cnc warrior from the flea for 8-9k usually and slap on an nt-4,works very well
mate you just increasing the gun price with this. fk me
My problem is, that i dont have access to solid Ammo for that Calibre.
So i sitck with 545 so far, works pretty well.
A recoil built AKS-74u is cheaper and more efficient for mid game builds given 5.45's better pen. For the same ergo you're running a 95 round drum and a jmac.
yes, i used it as a dmr with its high accuracy and m856a1 you could squeeze out headshots against lv3 helmets very easily

They need to buff M855 or they need to add an ammo between M855 and M856A1. I just can’t justify using .556 at such a low level.

I love this kind of content 🔥☺
Cheers!
If I wish to go with a cheap 5.56 weapon, I will choose Mk17 for sure, it has more stable stats.
It does, ergo suffers a bit though
Hey, I don't think the SAG PWC muzzle is compatible anymore. There's a PWS CQB 74 and a PWS CQB, the latter is the only one compatible with the 101, and you can't get that from a SAG AK far as I can tell. However: it is still really good on 545 AKs so I will probably use this trick if I find the right price on SAG Aks
moe stock with a buttpad is a better stock with the buffer tube adapter.
Love you man. I am L2 traders, so ammo is limited. Is the AK-105 better for L2 traders, since I can use PP ammo for the 105, for the 101 I can only get M855 and M856
Cheers! Tbh I was just using the AK74N or AKS74UN from prapor, I ran through the budget builds for them in this vid: ruclips.net/video/NqWnn6ep5tw/видео.html
lol these were my goto builds usually, thanks for the price increase xD
If we could have decent 556 ammo earlier than level 4 traders 🤷 i usually start using it after peacekeeper or skier level 4
Great video thanks for the info
I killed someone a couple weeks ago with this exact build, and now I know he got the idea from this video lmaoo
I swear, you’ve left the most loot on people you didn’t realize you killed out of every content creator in this game. Keep up the cautious gameplay!
This is post me leaving ALL my loot in raid trying to get the second guy :) I learned my lesson! People's stuff sucks anyway haha, better to have barter loot than gear most of the time, sad but true
@@Gigabeef honestly yeah. Player loot became awful when you couldn't put all their gear and ammo on the flea market. You use to make hundreds of thousands per kill at times, now it's pennies if you want to sell to traders. And I usually don't like the gear people run so I don't want to reuse it.
Is there any chance you could cover some builds/ammo for shooter born in heaven? Ever since they added damage/pen dropoff its much harder to reliably do 35 damage, 100+ meters away while penetrating a tier 4 helmet
Haven't focussed on it yet at all really, will have to give it a go! Fearing customs...
Very “educational” thanks
like lowkey the vs combo is better than the troy? 1 recoil for like 10ish ergo is huge
5:32 this is basically how I have my hog hunting WASR set up, no light but with a rail I could easily transfer a light onto. Form 1 suppressor. MI $120 mount with a cheap amazon 4x scope HAHAHA. This thing slaps but is HEAVY AS FFFFFFFFFFF
Even with the supersonic Russian the hogs have no idea where they are being shot from... It's glorious.
Oh it's in 7.62x39 though.. Even the FMJ rounds leave a fist sized exit hole through a piggie.
loots none of the kills "internal screaming intensifies
The sad solo life, 90% of the time ends in death haha
Need this video in spreadsheet form lol
i miss the nice AKS-74U
I wish you can have the edit preset page to show only traders available and not all
You can change the settings in the find parts bit and it just changes it for the preset builder
I get why the prism is good but i would never use it. Having bad frames already putting any magnification on my gun and rendering a second view lags my game considerably and makes it harder to quickly react. I can live with this in long range engagements but for something like 2.5x id rather have a 1x with good frames for quick flicks
I hate the picture in picture issues, really sucks tbh
Hello LTT!
Got the Ultra 5 silencer nerfed?
I just find it for 7.62 !
Bro you should mention that there was an update making this build impossible due to the Troy having no Option putting a foregrip on
You just need the QARS rail (TROY QARS 4.2 inch rail)
@@Gigabeef Yeah sorry, but unfortunately its never on the market
No one can shit on the Prism scope... I feel like 3.5 zoom is good enough as a static zoom.
is this linus tech playing tarkov?
I like the build but why? I don’t see why anyone would choose to run this over the AKM/103 now that PS is 35 pen and 57 damage. Sure you can craft 56A1 but you only gain 2 pen and lose 3 damage. Plus it’s much more expensive to run. Now if you are running higher rof weapon ok but at similar ROF the 7.62 variants make more sense.
Simply recoil - so much more likely to get a 101 to hit vs the AKM with mid level modding
am i the only person who puts a compact mount adapter with a acog in their gamma just in case they need long range?
I watch all these videos but never play the game cause its too stressful~
Nah, I seriously can't bring myself to use the 5.56 AKs. If I am gonna use an AK, it will be the 5.45 versions
Hi Gigabeef, do you know how many .50 BMG (12/70) bullets do I need to take a guy with common calss 4 armour?
Tarkov ballistics says 3-5 depending on the armor (they give a range). Will be because the pen chance is low to start with: tarkov-ballistics.com/charts/shots_to_damage_by_class.html
Am I the only 1 that doesn't understand how 50->47 recoil is a 32% total reduction?
Total reduction vs the base recoil is what that means, apols should have been more clear
Now everyone will run with it. (:
I feel like no one is using aks with the akts buffer tube
Can you do one for the 5.45 aks?
I might do although atm I'm having a hard time justifying it over this baby
Thanks
RUclips really needs to find a way to flag up these comments more obviously!! I know we've spoken more recently but I can't believe it doesn't have a special feed for these 🤦♂️
Welp Landmark just made a video on this gun and called it filthiest, guess nerf incoming lol.
fat build nice plays
I'm honestly just totally stuck in the early game man, LL1 traders give you total dogshit that if your not like above average in skill it's such a slog. I can't even get my damn Jager quest don't lmao maybe I just suck at Tarkov but weird thing is I'm usually really good/high ranked in other FPS games but for some reason until I get access to decent guns/ammo and sights I just get slapped 80% of the time
Tarkov isn't like other FPS to be honest, shooting is only part of it! And even the shooting is a bit weird for a start, but so much of the game is map knowledge, player flow, pathing etc - don't get discouraged, it gets easier :)
Gigabeef, you singlehandily ruin certain items on the flea at this point
Ha it goes back after a day or two, people have short memories
