The 6 Best Assault Rifle Builds In Escape From Tarkov (Patch 0.15)

Thank you. For this content.

Im a fan of the 300blkout and the 7.62 by 39 so ill be using those builds thank you for sharing.

the mk47 is better than the RD

You can get different stocks on the SCARH btw

Hi beef! Love the content and your vibe. Can we get similar videos for snipers and shotguns if possible?

I don't understand your AK12 build. It seems to me like the AK-74M is hands down better in every way (other than maybe accuracy) once you build it out. Why have you picked the AK12 over the 74M?

I wonder if at max Assault Rifles skill the lower ergo builds would become more viable.

I never go with the 60 rounders, they take too long to repack

BRO are you in a race to talk as fast as ya can? I mean this is a build video and i have to LITERALLY slow ya down to .75 to even understand wtf you are saying

personally id never run an m4 buffer tube on the mcx or mpx, save the good stuff for a 416 build. the maxim stock is cheap and barely worse than the best tube and stock combo

good scar build

I enjoy killing Big Pipe and finding out he has an M60 cause usually its full of M61. Easy 300 rounds as he tends to carry 2 100 round boxes in his pockets.

i actually like the 416 with sost ammo

Random question but i cant load into lighthouse or shoreline on my pmc or scav, but i load into streets with zero issue. My game will crash when its loading loot. Boots me to desktop or loses server connection.

Scav Lighthouse and you'll end up with more 5.45 than you know what to do with.

Why Bastion and not PDC on the RD-704?

It was my understanding that the red tube should always be used for max stats because if hidden stats on the part.

5.45 is awful, used to be my favourite when you actually had access to the ammo

For M4 build, if you want to run a 60-round mag it's better to use the STANAG it is 400 grams lighter, has higher top loading speed , can be bartered fairly cheaply from Peacekeeper and only has 2 less ergo than a drum PMAG.

Thanks! Can you do marksman rifles? (SR-25 etc?)

Tbf. 5.45 BP are literally everywhere. Just go for reserve and you'll extract with atleast 300

the fire rate of the RD put me off, although I only use this in Arena.
Ak12 is butter.

The AK-12 is better unsuppressed tbh, that sound is great and the ergo is more important.

You Sir, one of the biggest VIP to the community. Thank you m8!

why SR3 over val ?

Kinda surprised that BMD combo wasn't mentioned. Maybe it doesn't help with sniping but for RD it's great as it's best used in short to medium ranges where you've have been heard either way.

top tier armours pls

love all your technical videos and breakdowns of what parts and why. I used to love the red ARE but it's pretty expensive for doing nothing over the regular

the raptor isn't the best charging handle, the avalanche is. Same ergo less weight. It's a nitpick but given how cheap it is (less than the raptor) you might as well use it.

Reserve this wipe has been a 5.45x39 BP, BT, and BS BRICK SPAWNING HAVEN

Make it make sense..

AKS74u w/ 80 ergo go brrrr

Why not use the 3 part Lantac muzzle for the Scar instead of a suppressor.

I want to mention that Reserve has an obscene amount of bp small AK ammo. I stocked up to 2500 BP rounds while looking for Gluhar. Other big round spots (woods shack and USEC camp, MVD and Lexos on Streets) are also good to sweep.

Very detailed and informative. Thank you for all that you do for the Tarkov community.

I've got near 2000 rounds of 5.45 BP just found from raids, the 120 round packs spawn really often on woods and lighthouse so you can quite easily just scav in and go fetch some rounds since nobody loots the ammo packs

I feel like Ak-12 is the only useable 5.45…tried using the UB and holy moly the recoil is horrific even with the best attachments.

SR3M is actually only worth it if you use it unsuppressed. When you want to go suppressed, the Val still has the same firepower, but the suppressor is far better, and the price will be lower overall.
However, playing it loud makes it an absolute beast, especially since it is as short as an SMG, and ADS with it is extremely quick; you also run faster with shorter weapons.
That said, suppressed it is also a beast, but I'd still call the Val a better gun overall, and it is also more accessible since it is available on the flea.

where is hk and mutant

no hk, no val??

I don't think the balance of the weapons is good this wipe. In my opinion, 556 in particular loses a lot of value this wipe. The M855A1 is difficult to get unless you grind through a lot of quests, some of which are very annoying and expensive. It's easier to just use 762x39 PP or CBJ or switch directly to one of the submachine guns, some of which have far more penetration and far less recoil (MP7 and 9x19). On most maps, the distance advantage that the 556 ammo actually gives you doesn't do you much good, whereas the penetration is definitely a problem. Especially against people with level 5 armor. Because you really have to hit faces and if I can do that reliably, I can go out with a Kedr and don't have to mod an M4 for half a million.
In my opinion, either all the ammunition with higher penetration (762x39 BP, 300 AP, 855A1, etc.) should be more easily available again, or the other ammunition that has more than 37 pen (except sniper caliber) should be as difficult to obtain as the strong assault rifle ammunition currently is.

What’s the point fire bonus?

Thanks, are they already in DB4Tarkov?

for the 545 guns scavving lighthouse and looting ammo spawns on the rogue buildings give you a lot of bp and ppbs

I have 2700 rounds of BS ammo from reserve the amount you can find is actually disturbing

Swell!

with how available class 5 is. I hate how most ar's cap at 40 (ish) pen. even .308 is at 41 pen as far as trader rounds. I wish you could have a long reset for like 20 rounds of m61 or 995 and the sort. Nothing that allows you to fill up a mag every raid but enough to prep one mag with good ammo sparsed throughout. I like hte idea of "maining" a gun but as you stated with 5.45 you really cannot do that unless you have plentiful reserves (which you most likely do, but it shouldnt be that way!).

I literally have found zero svd ammo this wipe so far (maybe like a handful of snb) making it a 7.62x54r gun with only 41 pen!! THATS HORRIBLE FOR A LARGE CALIBER GUN. And then theres ref who just says fuck it and offers you bp straight up. I don;t have arena so how am I supposed to compete with that convenience (yes i can craft, but its a dumb advantage for no reason).

7.62x51 used to be the endgame gun round because it was on guns with best in slot parts locked behind traders. Now it is objectively worse than its lower recoil counterparts. The MCX is in a good place because it has high pen thats available to the masses. But it still isn't a win button on class 5. This is a good place to be and should be the baseline. Nobody feels good buying 40 pen rounds in a class 5 meta. It should be 45-47 pen on traders for all endgame calibers with higher pen ones avail in raid or from questlocked crafts. Just dont hide it behind ref :V

Good stuff 👍👍👍

I hate having to switch fire mide twice on the AK-12. What would y'all recommend for 545?
