Another cheap upgrade for most AK type rifles is the WASR handguard. It costs around 4k roubles and is a nice alternative to the regular handguards. Also, wood is good

Pro tip: wait a month into wipe when most people have level 2+ traders unlocked. Then kill them and take their gear and do all the easy quests with no static 😇

If you can find a tri-rail mount for the Mosin you can put any sight you want on it. I’m running an infantry mosin with an AKM suppressor on it and the 4x that jaeger sells at level 1 and it works great!

Thank you for this video. I was unsure about my options this wipe with the new changes, but you laid it all out very well.

[Accuracy]

My gun of choice for the first few days of this wipe was a 153 or Sigas off scavs with buckshot. I think the spread is sort of bad on the scav guns but it does so much damage that it will still scare anyone away who a little out of range.

Thank you for this. This is my second wipe, first real attempt to progress, and this helps a ton.

[Thurisazz]

74-U is SUPER viable from LL1 traders now that recoil has been buffed. That gun has carried me through early game in many wipes and it's now feeling better than ever. A lot of people will overlook them too, so if you die you have a good chance of getting it back in Insurance. I am only level 5 but have already managed to build a nice stash of PRS, T and even some BP ammo.

[MrVoixe]

The 366 AK has been fantastic. EKO ammo sold by lvl 1 jaeger performs very similarly to 762 PS aside from recoil. It's arguably better this early in wipe thanks to the higher flesh damage and good frag chance as well.

ive been having ALOT of fun running the aks-74u. any ergo or recoil mods i find i make sure to bring home, just a couple mods and suddenly you have a rifle that can put multiple shots on target at 50-75m for less that 100k ruebals. folding stock and a decent bag and now i can grab other kitted guns and store my primary gun in my bag since it only takes up 2x3 when folded. and its as you say, 5.45x39 ammo is abundant in tarkov rn. one of my recent runs i spawned near ruaf, ran to that 2 story house past the broken wall, and found 3 big boxes of 545x39. the ones with 37 pen. its so good early on. sometimes the fence even sells suppressors for it, which is even nicer. aks-74u is *chefs kiss* delicious

[steffenv.]

You also can buy an ADAR without any Parts on it from Skier Lvl 1 for ~7k. If you loot a bad one from a Scav you can disassemble everything and put all the Parts on the new one.

I really love the changes they’ve made, the devs actually listen to the gamers. People start using bp and A1 so quickly, this change has made early wipe much more fun

[Jacob_Dwyer]

Glad to see Kitty made the wipe. She's great; thank you Happy New Year! Still criminally undersubscribed. Looks like you are also having some fun raids great to see.

[Millenial_Minuteman]

im not sure if you know, but the handguard change is due to the way UBGL connect to the rifles

[philipc]

Thanks J Dog! Always good videos and appreciate the content!

[raphael-beats]

You've always been the best build guide for every wipe

[chadrattington]

I’m just now getting into the wipe — ak 74 u has been my go to. I use the sight mount and sight so it’s closer to my eye and then the b10 hand guard

[draketheviewer]

So the reason why the KAC rail has a lower rail now is so that it can be remove to place a grenade launcher like the M203.

[farflificus]

its been a meme between me and my friends all wipe to run aks-74us exactly like that. I found one on a player on day 1 exactly like the one at 5:08 except it had a pk-06 and the flashlight was mounted on the side. I has a lot of recoil so dont be expecting to use it at any range other than close. I have shot a lot of chalk outlines with that thing.

Love watching these videos man, keep it up!
