M80 is also a great ammo choice even once you hit level 40.Īdd a PSO scope and you can take people out from hundreds of meters away without them having any idea you even exist. The Vepr 136 I show here is a good "high end" weapon build especially for this level.ħ.62x39 PS remains one of the best ammo choices and the vepr 136 modded as shown is extremely accurate out to medium ranges and has pretty low recoil.Ī great choice at all levels is the Vepr Hunter as its cheap, accurate and can kill in one well placed shot. The best three weapons to use are the Vepr136, the vepr Hunter and the PP-19.
ESCAPE FROM TARKOV WEAPON MODDING MODS
Go for headshots and if that doesn't work and you are still alive, "legging" them is always an option thanks to 9mm's relatively high flesh damage.Īt level 2 you start unlocking a decent variety of good mods for most weapons, the main issue however is still ammo selection. Its main issue is that it's an SMG that is locked to semi auto, but it has a long barrel which makes it pretty stable.
The most cost effective weapon here by far is the Saiga 9 and whilst using PST ammo from level 1 Mechanic it is actually a pretty viable weapon. But that goes for literally any round in the game other than hitting with a single buckshot for example. If you get a headshot on an unprotected head, they are dead. The reason for the unreliable is because the only ammo you have available until level 30 is LPS GZH, which is known to bounce off pretty much everything, and even when you hit someone in the chest and it doesn't deflect, it will only do roughly 60-70% of their chest HP unless you get very lucky on a fragmentation roll. It is relatively cheap and you don't have to spend money on magazines as it has an integrated 10 round magazine so you only need to bring a stack of ammo in your pockets or rig and you are good to go.Ī slightly more powerful but extremely unreliable weapon option is the Mosin infantry rifle. 7.62x39 PS is one best rounds available all the way up to level 3 traders. The SKS is the most reliable weapon here, specifically because of the ammo. Coming in 3rd is the Saiga-9, which is unlocked at level 1 Skier after you complete his first task. Level 1Īt level 1 the best primary weapon options are the SKS and Mosin, mainly because of the ammunition they use. I'm going to show and provide a description of the best builds available at each trader level, for the sake of simplicity I will bunch them together.
ESCAPE FROM TARKOV WEAPON MODDING FULL
Most people should build their weapons for recoil reduction, however, people with significant skill in terms of aim may want to edge towards partial, or even full ergonomics weapons, which allow for fast "snapping" onto targets heads and allow you to hold corners better if the situation calls for it. The primary two effects high ergonomics provide are significantly reduced aim down sight time and massively reduced stamina consumption when holding aim. Recoil reduction is pretty self explanatory, it reduces the weapons base recoil by a percentage, which will be displayed.Įrgonomics on the other hand is a more complex statistic as it has multiple effects. There are two main statistics when it comes to modding weapons in Escape from Tarkov, Ergonomics and Recoil reduction. Escape from Tarkov has one of, if not the most complex, weapon modding systems of any game on the market currently, and to understand modding of guns you need to be familiar with the different statistics provided by different weapon mods.
