The Most OVERLOOKED SMG In Tarkov… – Cheap Chad Destroyers

by



Escape From Tarkov has so many weapons and they are constantly adding more. Even though there is almost always a meta that emerges, there are so many weapons that are very capable that often go overlooked by most of the players. Check out the new video focusing on an SMG that has been in the game for a while now that is definitely worth a try!

  8. Never thought this gun was decent at doing anything.
    I will stick to mp5 or vector just for those 50rounders that actually makes a lot difference compare to the insignificant recoil that these smgs are known for. I hate to say this but it's just another hyper train that people are willing to hop on for its cheap price(probably won't last long too).
    Personally, I would rather do some shitty pistol runs than spending time modding for a half decent gun that are less reliable and most likely won't work too well on geared player since you will not be wearing anything above lv5 for a cheap set up like this.

  9. The issue is indeed ammo.
    9x19mm, 4.6x30mm, 5.7x28mm all of the rounds in those calibers which are at least decent (30 pen or above) are all about 1k or more on the flea.
    That's 30k per mag. At those firerates, you'll want at least 3 mags and an extra stack I would think, so we're talking 140k in ammo alone.

    At that point, any price advantage the base gun might have is irrelevant.
    When you can get 9x39mm SP-5 for 230 and sp-6 for 610 (lol) which also just have the same or better stats than the best SMG rounds it doesn't seem like much of a competition anyway.
    Sure the VAL/VSS recoil got nerfed but it seems a lot more budget efficient.

    Crafting can change the story. But most of the flea prices are based on the crafting costs, yes? I don't think there's much high end SMG ammo actually looted in raids.

    The MP7 is a bit of an exception, FMJ SX looks pretty viable and is 'only' 1k, that's close enough to the VSS ammo that even though SP-6 is cheaper and better in every way, the MP7s advantages over the VSS/VAL platform can be worth the price difference.

    Where the SMGs really shine, imo, is WITH the shit ammo, going purely for the face or legs. As the wipe progresses faces will be less viable due to more shields but legs always remains a decent option.

    Once you need to pay >1k per round, it doesn't seem worth it to me, when you can get better or similar rifle ammo for less (m80, 7.62BP, 5.45BT, M856A1 kinda).
    That is, for budget oriented builds.
    Some of these weapons ARE just pretty dam good as a whole, MP7 probably most of all, but it's no longer about price at that point.

  15. Personally the problem for me is that 9mm ammo is super expensive. atleast if you want the good ones. 1000$ a round?? For a gun thats is a bullet hose. I love smgs but man it aint worth it early game.
