The SKS Is Surprisingly Good Late Wipe! Lowest Recoil & Budget Build Guide
Рет қаралды 181,979
Күн бұрынToday's video is about SKS builds, and how this weapon holds up in 12.12 well despite being towards the end of the wipe. We start by showing the possible configurations, from the beginner friendly stock variant through to the high end TAPCO, which gives us our lowest recoil version.
However there is a great barter at only Mechanic 2, which lets us snag the base UAS SKS for only 3 weapons parts - these can be found as low as 10k on the flea which makes the build extremely cost effective!
At first, it doesn't seem that the "ring" scopes are compatible with the SKS, but finally we show that you can mount pretty much anything if you use a specific combination of parts.
Happy hunting!

Honestly the thing I find most important when selecting a sks to use is the default round. Regular sks if I plan on shooting ps ammo and op sks if I plan on using BP since I am traditionally only going for headshots with it. Before the fire rate cap on semi auto sks was my favorite labs gun cause of the horizontal recoil pattern but now it's just not what it once was for close range. I still love it tho, just wish they would add stripper clips for top loading it quickly

Another neat thing about the SKS is that when suppressed it has one of the quietest rapports of any gun in EFT, and I've found that combining that with the 7.62x39 US gzh subsonic rounds makes it so no one will ever know where you are shooting from unless they see you directly. Works very well for night raids on Woods.

I have been building this beast since launch man! so good to see someone making a video about it! My thoughts on the suppressor, if you are playing proud and loud in a squad environment just run the srvv for the lower recoil. If you are more a lone wolf like me.. spend that 30k brother on the suppressor it is more than worth the survival chance you are getting from it.

7:15 Technically, the gun was designed for the use of chargers (or stripper clips, if you like), but they still aren't implemented in EfT for a somewhat puzzling reason. After all, it's far from groundbreaking and was done in a lot of shooters before. 8:42 Since we're basically talking about a DMR here, a rangefinder might be a very useful thing to put there. 9:42 I would argue that for a semiauto only gun much suited for a sort of DMR role the use of a suppressor is recommended when possible.

I like my SKS Dodgy Marksman's Rifle: Take an OP-SKS, put it in Tapco Intrafuse furniture, add a foregrip and suppressor. Mount two optics: a PSO scope (all of them work) and on the forward mount an EKP-8-18 (Don't forget the shade!) With my preferred stock and 35 round mag, it ends up at 91 recoil and 48 ergo, which is reasonable. The PSO scopes are offset just enough, and the Kobra red dot just tall enough that they don't interfere with each other. It's good fun.

You can honestly do the same with VPO-136. It also skirts around some of the SKS issues with mounting sights/lights/lasers and reloading. (AK100 Handguard Prapor 1 / Bastion Skier 1) It also has better recoil stats right out of the box for the same price, Skier 1. The VPO-136 Will be cheaper to build out to the same stats for late-wipe builds too.

May as well just do 3x tushonka for an AKM tbh. The SKS is nice alternative for the same reason as I mentioned, better horizontal performance behind the scenes
@Wuoelf 2 жыл бұрын
@@Gigabeef That's a good point. However, I believe the direct Ruble purchase early wipe may be more convenient than having to farm 3x tushonka for every rifle you run. Not to mention locking one-self to semi-auto could also have its accuracy benefits. The reload/attachment benefits outweigh the slight horizontal recoil increase I've tested/played with in my experience. Especially when needing to bring the rifle into closer engagements.

One powerbank or what ever the white one is and 1 weapons part, it’s easy all through the day to purchase those two items for around 15k mind u they do jump to 20k a piece which is still a deal. Buy the breacher and get yourself the moe stock + pad. Also gets u a very nice forgrip and holographic sight. Either way turn around sell the item after u take the stock n pad resells to mechanic for around 30k. Sometimes I make money in this process and get the forgrip+stock.

Very thoughtful video! I've been running around for a few raids with an AK-74 w/ PBS suppressor, Primary Arms 2.5x and PP ammo-- that's been serving me pretty well being dirt cheap and having nice high-velocity rounds that make head-tapping a little easier (even though it takes multiple hits sometimes with 5.45's shitty damage). I might give SKS a try, though (but surely something more along the lines of the extreme budget build :D). My experience with 7.62 PS AKs / Veprs (historically my go-to weapons) has been pretty mediocre this wipe: OK for PvE, not really up to the task of PvP. Maybe I should give 7.62 BP a shot despite the cost.
@Gigabeef 2 жыл бұрын
BP is mental, just drops everyone if you hit your shots. The biggest issue is mitigating the amount you lose when you die! The primary arms scope I get crapped on every time I use it hahaha, people really hate it but I love the 2.5x! Tarkov has a real lack of 2-3x scopes imo :) was a big 3x user in pubg
@ganthrithor 2 жыл бұрын
@@Gigabeef I agree: those low magnification optics are a perfect match for Tarkov engagement distances (for me, the majority of my shots are under 100m and I'd reckon 98% of shots are under 200m). I really like that reticle despite the fact that it's a bit cluttered: the aiming dots are nice and clean and the inner horseshoe is good for snap-shooting at close range. Only thing I don't like about the PA 2.5x is how much screen real estate it takes up when you're not aimed down sights, largely due to those stupid flip-up scope caps. I'm also a fan of the Eotech + magnifier combo-- I'd probably use that all the time if it weren't for the price being significantly higher. If I could get the HHS for ~20k I'd use it constantly (like I did a wipe or two ago, when people thought it was trash) but now it always seems to be like 40k+ on the flea.

@@Gigabeef It might be interesting to take the price of the top tier SKS build, and use that as a budget for a top tier VPO build, and see what stats you end up with VPO definitely has a big advantage with the standard AK 30 rounders for cheap (and faster, less finicky reloads, no dropping a bullet to reload mid mag, etc.), and access to all the AK mods (handguards, stocks, Bastion like you said, etc) so it may be interesting to see how the performance per ruble measures up. My guess is the closer you are to barebones, OP-SKS+PSO combo wins, but once heavier modding comes into play, the VPO will really start to shine

Useful if you've only fired a round or two and don't want to go through the whole animation, as it's pretty long. The weapon was never designed for detachable mags, and IRL I'd judge you for changing the magazine or furniture. Rifle is fine.

rfb is good out of the box , sks takes more modding , it might be good right now but its reliability relies on market prices for a bunch of mods
@Gigabeef 2 жыл бұрын
I would argue that the SKS works first, base model + PS ammo + PSO scope, then the RFB kicks in at Skier2, with M80 from Peacekeeper, and then the SKS comes back again once you can get BP in some form

you can also topload into the 20 rounders even if you have spares by holding R and scrolling to the loose rounds. nice sometimes if you want to repack while moving

I feel like those of us that don't focus on playing the 'meta', have always known the SKS is a great gun...my fear now is with mainliners starting to put it out there it's going to start getting considered a 'meta' and get nerfed....Really hope it doesn't cuz I've always loved the SKS, it's a good all wipe gun. It's not an early, mid, or late wipe gun, it's a all wipe gun. Best bang for your buck, PS rounds punch through lvl 4 easily, and can still put work in on T5 so unless your rocking tier 6 your still fair game against the PS. And if the shooter has BP yeah you can just hope they can't aim at that point...

Doesn't really matter as you have to be aware of it not to shoot the environment anyway with the SKS, plus you're not supposed to be right up close :)

Can you do a video of sks vs vpo-136 ? The barter trade of 136 of 2 horses makes me think it’s better for basically the same gun but no one ever talks about the 136 and I want to know why exactly
@Gigabeef 2 жыл бұрын
Just because if people wanna use something they usually grab the AKM for 3x Tushonka. The SKS does have better horizontal, so that makes it a better DMR - VPO is easier to mod though

So what your saying is the only cost effective/actually effective gun early wipe is an SKS with PS rounds, then around level 3 traders we finally unlock the ability to purchase other somewhat effective but extremely more expensive setups to try and lose and then late game we come full circle back to the $%&$ing SKS this time with BP rounds and a fancy stock. ...

Sks is better horizontal recoil but slightly harder to mod - depends what you wanna use it for really. Vpo better for close/medium range, but tbh I'd rather just trade 3x tushonka for an akm
