The MP 155 Ultima: Build For Best, Or Budget Better?

In today's video we'll be looking over best builds for the MP-155 shotgun, showing the Ultima version and also comparing to the budget versions to see if it's worth it to make the fully kitted shotgun.

We'll also be looking at both of these builds vs the equivalent 153 shotgun on budget and meta, to decide which we should be using in various situations!

Since recording, I've been using the Thermal a bit more and it's actually a bit useful in specific cases - not to spot anyone if you didn't know they were there already, but can help if someone disappears into bushes/trees or you have audio cues but no visual! Worth 30k? Not sure, but no-one takes these guns so you tend to get them back ALOT

I found good use for the Thermal in Interchange just by being a thermal. Yea using it to shoot is janky but with how randomly dark parts are right next to bright AF lights so trying to use NVG's is just suffering in there, so having the little thermal screen to do a quick sweep is extremely useful. Don't even really have to use it to aim, just to ID that there is a target there to quickly and get rounds at them.

It's probably one of the cheaper ways to have a little detection thermal, and it at least has better view then that holo sight.

[thumbscake]

I found if you alt peak on right angles so your gun is on the other side of the wall the thermal is pretty useful without exposing yourself that much, and you can actually see it lol

[TheRhoaric]

Having an optional thermal saved me from an exit camper. When I build this I always spring for it.

[StyxRiverGynoid]

I've never played Tarkov (FPS games make me motion sick) but love watching it on YT. This has to be one of the best review videos I've seen, thank you!

[jonesy]

I just finished setup for the first time and I’m not sure why I never thought to use the ultima. The setup I ended up enjoying most was a silenced MP-153 with the long barrel and a 3x sight, effectively sniping with AP-20. It was very fun!

[shyuugaheero]

Love the content. Before I quit playing this is how I looked at everything in the game. I appreciate these vids. Help me a lot.

[hungryhedgehog]

I like to keep the long barrel ont he mp 153 cause it makes the weapon way to long for most people to pick up, plus if I run ap slugs the MoA is trash on the shorter barrels.

[FghteR]

Good comparison, much appreciated!
4:05 I wonder why there's no conflict of parts here, given that suppressors literally clip through the extended magazine.
4:33 If this was a Saiga 12, that would be a different matter, but with a tube magazine you may want to avoid close encounters for fear of running out of ammo; thus a silencer here is of greater importance even besides the quest requirements.

[suicidalpancakepress]

I feel like the main selling point of the 155 is the Thermal, its not great but can be used for like you said the sun on your gun builds and target acquisition

[maysinbell]

Ran a thermal 155 with 3 lasers, Vulcan night scope and a reflex sight on interchange. The only death I had was a head-jaws from a scav named "Erin Jesus' while helping my duo finish his M.U.G.A. quest.

[visakortin]

Hey, really like your videos. Very very informative - atleast for new player like me. Please, keep them coming!

[Corzappy]

The one good use for the thermal sight is for that one quest where you have to kill people in the office area of factory, so you can just chuck down smokes and watch.

[BenCadorette]

I found EXACTLY this gun on a guy I killed exit camping on factory tonight. Good slugs out of a shitty shotty beat flechettes out of a Maserati tonight. GG whoever you were

[ChadBroski.]

As always great video, thank you.

you know I was thinking about this, and it would be really great if you could make a video about the headsets in Tarkov.
I believe you are the one that can actually be up to the task 👌

[Robinator]

When it comes to the thermal I apply the philosophy of, if you're building the ultima you go all the way.

[hannibalwrecktor]

@gigabeef Just for the record, 'MOA is 1" at 100 *YARDS* ', not meters.. which is about 10 meters off. Just FYI. Great video, learned alot about tarkov mechanics from you yet again. Keep em coming.

[sethington]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like you just confirmed that recoil stat affects reset times on a weapon. This may have already been known, but to me this could be a game changer with certain guns that have innately low reset times and potential for budget recoil reduction.

[chikinkieven]

I've used both shotguns a good bit as I pretty much use barely anything else, the mp 153 in my opinion is a far better choice as it is cheaper, more accurate and just a simpler gun if that makes sense. there is a barter for it at skier that is one folding car key, one Zav key and one yoyota key, at the right time I can get this for 15k and they are common spawns anyway. So mad durability gun for 15k. Hard to justify the mp155 for double the price and no real difference between them. I've used the mp 155 thermal a bit and idk it's just too janky to be viable it's fun to use now and again but not something super useful that you'd need. Would rather buy a scope for 35k. Or just two mp 153s

[stageiiwappie]

I personally make it highest ergo build because i like fast ADS and fire rate with the recoil is fine and fast hitting, ppl cant fire back if stunned by the first shot
