Hey everyone, welcome to the channel for another Escape From Tarkov video, this time taking a look at my Top 3 builds for the AKM and AK-103 in the 12.9 patch.
Lots of parts have changed with the rebalance, and the AK-103 is now the superior build compared to the older AKM, so if you’re interested in the new builds, let me know what you think down in the comments!

I started playing this wipe. Is there a difference between recoil of weapons? Or is the recoil all the same for weapons? I can make a 67 to 69 recoil 74m build that is under 75k roubles. Why would I consider making a meta akm build for this much money? Or is this just a video for people that want to use these types of Ak variants?
dude these videos are still confusing with you talking so fast likke damn
Also worth noting that AKM's/103's generally aren't looted all that much compared to stuff like M4's/416's/SA-58's/etc., so you get them back from insurance a lot more often than you might think, especially at the low and mid-tier setups.
What do you think about the Shift grip on the meta ak's? yes it has less recoil but the extra ergo should give it more snap. is it worth it?
time to build 3 a never use them
Awesome a new build video! I used to always enjoy running AKs, but since this patch I wanted to get in some more time with other rifle platforms, get to know how they feel and perform. Still, might wanna hop back in just to refresh why I used to love running AKs, and new builds give me a perfect excuse 😀
Fun fact: our nighty boy nspu-m has -5% recoil his back for a revenge
With the first build at what range would you consider semi auto over full?
the US Ammo helps recoil … for the people that spray & pray
How do you feel about the modding changes overall? I like getting to muck around with more stuff, but I do miss the cheaper 5.45 modding. I definitely prefer how it was before, but I think I could prefer this system with me minor tweaks like handgrip buffs. Stock wise it could use an overall buff, but I do like how similar the options are so you can actually pick on aesthetics more.
for yout mid tier aks you should use the scorpius pistol grip. its the same stats but a lot cheaper then the rk-3
Yesssir was waiting for this video
Idk how compatibility is with these builds, but isn't the b-33 dust cover better than the bastion now? I seem to remember seeing it with like -1.75 recoil vs the bastion's -1 recoil or something along those lines
I was having fun with 7.62 builds too in this patch. Mostly trying to recreate real life army builds and see how they run. But I noticed that 7.62 BP feels like it has some issues in the game right now, like not penetrating blacked limbs or just stopped by armors that should not stop it. I had players and scavs alike survive 5-10 well aimed semi-auto chest hits in lvl 2-3 armor and never could figure out why. When I tried the 5.45 builds the BT with way lower stats was more consistent in killing than the BP, I would really like too run Alpha AK-103-s but I dont have trust in them right now. Anyone else notice this?
i mod my ak103 with a buffer tube with moe stock and rbp, for the pistol grip I like the moe because everyone knows rk3 is expensive if you don't have trader unlock. also for hand guard you can use the moe and its about 7000-9000 on flea. bastion is a good choice for mounting optics too
Need a video on the Western poor mans asskicker and the best way to get the most out of it on a budget, The ADAR 2-15!
Can you do the SR-25 vs the RFB? I cant find a real difference between them. Same caliber. Same Suppressor.
It seems to me the RFB is cheaper and has a rail system built in for the foregrip but the sight is more forward.
I know nothing about ergo or recoil to make a decision.
Recoil isn't 85….
85 Vertical + 207 Horizontal = 292 recoil
not 85-90
AK sucks this patch …
love the video, however my slight suggestion is to change the inital music, it sounds like a porno film.
Ammo recommendations for each tier?
id love to see an ADAR build for 3 tiers as well
For mid tier a good alternative for the hand guard is the Krebs Custom UFM Keymod for the same stats -1 ergo AND it's like half price on flea most of the time. Saves you around 10k for the hand guard. You need to have Kiba Arms VDM gas tube though, from Peacekeeper level 4.
Does this work for the AKMS/AKMSN variants as well? They're usually a lot cheaper on the flea, about half price…
is the dog leg not better than the bastion?
Isn't the US Palm grip > the Scorpius, being lighter?
Why the shades on the Cobra?
Dude whats the song that you start using at around 7:10. Its a hard beat dude it has an old west coast signature I love it when I hear it in your videos. Cant seem to figure out what it is.
I just dont see the point in running ak's right now since the nerf. Especially since a meta ak will run you around 200k, you can run plenty of better guns at that price point.
Why do you recommend the X-47 handguard (-3% recoil and +10 ergo) @ 22k roubles over the B-10M foregrip (-2% recoil and +9 ergo) plus the Bastion (-1% recoil and +5 ergo) for a total of -3% recoil and 14 ergo for pretty much the exact same price?
Would be nice if you put actually put all the parts in the video. the first ak doesnt even have the stock in the end total list
AKs have best recoil stats when using a buffer tube adapter+hydraulic buffer tube+stock. I hate how on YouTube there are so many Videos about weapon builds that are extremely inefficient.
Love it
So what is your main gun?
