The Best SMG in Escape From Tarkov?



Today we’re going to be talking about the MP7, which I believe is the best all around SMG in EFT, which works super well both when running budget or meta versions!

We’ll be looking at budget builds, kitted versions and the ammo to run for these, as well as discussing the difference between the MP7A1 vs MP7A2.

Compared to other end game weapons, the MP7 is a really strong contender that you can get cheaper than a kitted m4 with m995 for example, and at short and medium ranges get similar results for less.

  1. been running the mp7a1 for my back up for my sniper quest alot this wipe i still suppress it to get rid of the muzzle flash and you can use a cobra with shader and different back up irons to help the ergo lose from the suppressor

  2. Nice video. I had no idea mp7 ammo was so good. I'm going to take another look at it but its really hard to beat the vector right now. that lack of any initial kick makes it a freakin laser beam up to ~100m. I use it with hamr, valday or even thermal all the time

  3. IMHO the MP7 is better than the VAL. It's smaller, the 'budget' ammo isn't needlessly expensive. It's kind of like how people were still bitching about the mosin after the Hunter was added to the game. People should be calling for the MP7 to get a nerf.
    Anyone remember running into Hunter SCAVs running M80 ammo before BSG added Ultra nozler and TPZ SP round to Tarkov? Made the UNTAR quests on shoreline hell lmao

  4. Honestly, I'd put it into the same class of weapon as the VSS/VAL. They are both somewhere between ARs and SMGs in how they play while somehow gaining all the benefits of both. Comparing the two, the MP7 is easier to mod and cheaper to get your hands on, while the VSS's ammo is the better of the two.

  5. Found your channel a few days ago and love all the content. Thank you for not having a totally insufferable and pretentious personality like a lot of "famous" Tarkov people :))))))))))))

    The solo PVP map specific videos are really nice for me as a solo player. Would love to see ones covering the rest of the maps.

  6. Remember fellas the MP7A1 Seals barter trade from Mechanic level 1 is pretty solid. Comes with a 40 round mag, Suppressor, AN/PEQ 15 for a red illuminator, Surefire flashlight you can keep or sell, and lastly an Aimpoint T-1 on a riser. Last time I did the trade I spent around 125,000 and the parts on it are worth well over that on the flee. Give it a go and slay some PMC's.

  7. You should note that AP SX might need 2 bullets for a headshot kill, as there is dmg mitigation when passing through armor, such as helmets, which is it's major downside, since a head has 35HP and the bullets does 35 DMG

  8. The MPX isn’t expensive at all to mod. Get the suppressed version from peacekeeper for $500 and slap a grip and sight on it and you are good. Also the 41 round mags are cheep

  9. I'd love to use the MP7 but the ammo is way too expensive on the Flea Market (FMJ) and I'll be hard pressed to get Peacekeeper L3. Also does he sell out of it or will I actually be able to buy it?

  10. I'm surprised you didn't compare this to the MP5SD. The only downside of the MP5SD vs MP7 is the 9mm. MP5SD does not need any mods and is much lower recoil stock.

  11. The second best mp7 ammo is better than the best 9mm ammo. Been rocking the mp7 for couple days now and i really like it with fmj ammo. Played vector once and its way tooo boring ffing laserbeam
