Love your videos! You always deliver high quality stuff. Btw, I used to call this scope „Shroud scope“ since he was the only person using it back in the days, now it is „Lew scope“
2Lew, this video changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. This budget scopes represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this scope I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable. Thank you for this exquisite scope, I will never forget this experience again.
The Monstrum 2x and the Primary Arms 2.5x are my go-to scopes for 5.56 and 5.45 rifles when I'm not setting up for a specific range. You can hit surprisingly far with them, and still use them close up without needing a canted red-dot. Also you get props for that AKSU build - I've always loved that gun, and with the recoil changes it's a CQB monster.
another good one is the okp dovetail. something about how cheap it is to run while also having a good clear picture really attracts me to it. You don't need a bastion for it to function, it just works.
Can't agree more! Adding magnification to my AKs- whether it be 2x, the 2.5x prism, or a 3x- has made me so much more comfortable fighting beyond 20 meters and has made the game that much more enjoyable for me
@@2Lew if you happen to make any significant changes to your settings please make a new video on it! I'm still giving the old one to my friends asking about it :)
Another one! Seriously, the first 55 seconds was just OP, really nicely done bud! "The early worm gets the worm" "The man was made out of an iron buktin"
Early wipe urban load-out... Get a vicious from Prapor for plugs and an osprey from Mechanic for a drill, get a TOZ from Skier and load it with Poluvas Scope then both with the Monstrum
Been watching a ton of your videos lately, and I really appreciate the perspective and style with you which you play and commentate. I’m brand new to tarkov, so I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can. You’ve helped a lot! Also discovered you played RuneScape at one point, so that has me very hyped. Much love 2Lew!!
well I agree 100%. I love this scope, I hope everyone else enjoys it. Its good because it gives you 2x allowing for much better precision from distance but not so zoomed in that you cant take close quarter battles with it. good all around scope for cheap
Always loved the Monstrum since i picked the game up in Jan 2020. Just enough zoom to make all but the longest shots easy to hit but also not so zoomed that it still works extremely well in CQB. Such a good sight.
you are one of the very few that i don't skip a second of their videos! absolutely love everything you do brother :) keep em coming, your content is awesome!
ive been using that scope for a few wipes now i love it its a little annoying at longer ranges and suffers when theyre to close but its a good middle ground with good ammo too
Big fan of the monstrum 2x. I killed a 3 man early on on shoreline mostly with headtaps like that. Am also a big fan of the Eotech 1 to 3x atm. My point fire kinda sucks, so having a 1x you can actually full auto through is nice
just if anyone wonders why 5.45 BS takes 3 shots to the chest: Chest Health 85HP - 40 Dmg (1 Shot BS) = Remaining 45 Chest Health so you will need 2 additional shots with BS to get the Chest Health to 0HP
1:14 - Explanation: Over-pen (as opposed to under pen or not penning at all). BS ammo and any ammo made to pierce armor will overpenetrate a player without any armor at all, this means no bleeds (most of the time), less damage done (except to the head), and also can lead to glitches where the round doesnt spread out into other limbs as it would with a body armor on. Exceptions, like I said, are stomach and head.
I absolutely love this sight on dmrs and shotguns. I just finished the punisher quest for the aks and didnt think to use it tbh. I had to kill the sniper on top of the white tower twice with just a DP reflex. 😭😭
my first intoduction was about 3 wipes ago as of this time, and the firtst gun my friend gave me was a vpo 101 with m80 and this scope and 3 wipes later this is still my go to its 1.5 or 2.5 or anything that isnt a proper scope for sniping never felt right for me, but this one is just right for almost all the guns i used and the fact it can turn red it the cherry on top.
not the best at tarkov, neither the richest but when i used this scope i had my best raid so far this wipe. great content as always and keep up the work :)
to your question about "the tankiest timmy you have ever seen" BS has 40 dmg thats why you often headshot scavs twice with it, it simply does better against armor than flesh
The reason you were having so much trouble with bs ammo in the beginning is because it does have the highest penetration rating out of all of the 5.45 rounds but it also has the lowest damage and since you were shooting timmies it wasn’t doing much damage to them that’s why I like bp the best because it has high pen and decent damage
I wish the game would let you try out weapon preset builds before buying them so you could do things like hear what each suppressor sounds like or test the optics without paying millions to try every single one. Idk i feel like it is a part of Tarkov that should be more like a game instead of realistic, the same way healing is just sticking a needle in your arm and takes 7sec. Like it isn’t realistic to heal 4 gunshots like that but it also wouldn’t be fun to just bleed out or completely lose use of your arm of leg after 80% of fights where you get shot.
I have never seen your content before or anything like it. I am only 23 seconds in and I can tell this is a good ass video. I already hit the sub and cannot wait to see the rest of your content my friend!
FYI 545 BS ammos damage drops off a cliff on anything above a 50m range, it will do pretty much 0 damage at 100m (at least that's the experience ive had with it in the past)
Hey! If you're reading this thanks for watching 💜 come say hello to me live :)
www.twitch.tv/2Lew/
I’m the first death, I’ve heard that you shouldn’t re-peak with scavs with the new update
Hey Lew, I missed the loadout/setup mind telling me so I can try this out?
@2Lew whats the deal with cueing a "reloading voice line" ?
Dang it now it's going to be expensive...
Love your videos! You always deliver high quality stuff. Btw, I used to call this scope „Shroud scope“ since he was the only person using it back in the days, now it is „Lew scope“
this comment changed everything
Secret op knowledge
this changes everything man
Big love dude ❤️ I remember seeing shroud use this thing 😂 I'm surprised I don't see more people using it tbh. The Lew scope, I'll take it
This changes everything...

Simping detected. Launching "Man up" - Sequence.
Bro had an out of body experience
You commented this exact same thing on another video about 2x scope like 2 weeks ago didnt you?
This changes everything! That scope is very underrated guys!
The Monstrum 2x and the Primary Arms 2.5x are my go-to scopes for 5.56 and 5.45 rifles when I'm not setting up for a specific range. You can hit surprisingly far with them, and still use them close up without needing a canted red-dot.

I cant stand the PA 2.5 Prism. The reticle looks like a fucking Koala and its so distracting XD
try the swampfox trihawk
another good one is the okp dovetail. something about how cheap it is to run while also having a good clear picture really attracts me to it. You don't need a bastion for it to function, it just works.
Honestly your videos are the only ones that I completely watch and dont skip for Tarkov keep it up man! :)
Same
Thank you brother
10:30… that moment, that feeling… that scream…
Awesome!!! I feel it 100%😂😂😂
10:32 that scream has made my day dude xd
it's like 2am right now when i'm watching but scream at 10:29 had me bursting out laughing when shturman almost domed you
Can't agree more! Adding magnification to my AKs- whether it be 2x, the 2.5x prism, or a 3x- has made me so much more comfortable fighting beyond 20 meters and has made the game that much more enjoyable for me
The monstrum 2x is by far my favorite scope, super quick, super versatile, and an easy pick over anything besides a rare FIR TAC30
Awesome content, im happy for this new masterpiece. Still using your post fx and ingame settings. Tarkov never felt better
aww im glad brother! ♥
@@2Lew hello, bro give me a link to postfix settings pls
@@2Lew if you happen to make any significant changes to your settings please make a new video on it! I'm still giving the old one to my friends asking about it :)
@@oldenoughtowatchify but not to the guy right above asking for it 😂
@@oldenoughtowatchify I need to know his postfx settings
The filter automation on the background music truly enhances the experience a lot well done
Thanks I love working with music
That scream at 10:29 was golden.😂
I love both the fixes sights and the LPVOs they just each have a time and place, and people put too much weight on the LPVOs being OP.
Another one!
Seriously, the first 55 seconds was just OP, really nicely done bud!
"The early worm gets the worm"
"The man was made out of an iron buktin"
I knew you'd appreciate that second one
10:28 sounded like homer simpson LMAO
My man, that scream at 10:30 really got me 😆😅🤣

"ooo meat stick" - 2Lew 2023
you are one of the very few that i don't skip a second of their videos! absolutely love everything you do brother :) keep em coming, your content is awesome!
Thanks for the kind words
10:27 *Terrified scream* "There's somebody shooting at me"
That scream at 10:29 was amazingly funny
"Don't die to a scav, 1-800-HEAD-EYES" hahahaha dude I laughed out loud. That's a great one! Love the content brother! Big ol' slap on the sub button!
i've been using this scope since the last video you made on it and it doesn't let me down, just a great scope all around!
Chicken!
10:29 That scream got me in cramps
ive been using that scope for a few wipes now i love it its a little annoying at longer ranges and suffers when theyre to close but its a good middle ground with good ammo too
Dude the scream on that rock during the woods raid was so appropriate and hilarious.
the game looks so clear in this footage, great content dud!
Thanks dude
Best production quality of any streamer on TH-cam. No contention. Keep it up. Give your editors a raise, mate.
I am the editor
@@2Lew He didnt ask who he was, he said to give your editor a raise! So give yourself a raise Lew!
Excuse me 2lew, we need more frequent videos please. We all are very much impatient
I've been preaching this scope for ages. Glad to see you made a video on this hidden gem
your video compression is so good! it looks so clear unlike most tarok content
Tip about 1:14 - BS ammo = more penetration BUT less damage do flesh. He would die faster with HP.
The king of the Woods made video about king of budget scopes. nice! (video is great like always)
Big love dude
That Monstrum on an ADAR has been one of my favorite budget builds this wipe, especially with 856A1. Even got the Goons with it!
Big fan of the monstrum 2x. I killed a 3 man early on on shoreline mostly with headtaps like that. Am also a big fan of the Eotech 1 to 3x atm. My point fire kinda sucks, so having a 1x you can actually full auto through is nice
2lew and jdog the wise are GOATs
just if anyone wonders why 5.45 BS takes 3 shots to the chest: Chest Health 85HP - 40 Dmg (1 Shot BS) = Remaining 45 Chest Health
so you will need 2 additional shots with BS to get the Chest Health to 0HP
Them cinematics were fire!!!

"i'm STILL hitting up the safes in customs" *christmas ornament appears*
Great video, as always! Looking forward for a video with your take on the new recoil, some cool builds and Lew owning some PMCs
Sooon maybe
I absolutely love this sight on dmrs and shotguns. I just finished the punisher quest for the aks and didnt think to use it tbh. I had to kill the sniper on top of the white tower twice with just a DP reflex. 😭😭
Honestly your videos remind me of FrankyonPC during his peak DayZ days, serious props to your amazing videos, keep it up man 👏🏻
That scream, had a nice giggle🤣
Made my Saturday night with this upload Lew!!
It’s 1pm weirdo
big love dude
@@nuts_fattening To you, yeah? I'm in the UK, weirdo.

Underrated youtuber, entertaining as always
10:28 we got the same feeling and reaction at this moment :D
😂
loved the commentary in this vid bro great job
Unrivalled videos my man. Top tier stuff everytime.
not the best at tarkov, neither the richest but when i used this scope i had my best raid so far this wipe. great content as always and keep up the work :)
Let's go!
a new 2Lew video is exactly what i needed today
I hope you enjoyed brother
do you voice line every time you reload? wouldn't that work against you in a fight?
That scream at 10:30 lmao😂
Banger as always, Lew! That sausage reaction was top tier haha
the monstrums been my go to on customs forever, on the bigger maps i still like using at least an elcan
Hell yeah brother
Thumbnail is a thing of beauty😍
really well edited! Keep that awesome content going
Thank you for the kind words
10:25 was a masculine Scream of strength
“Right, there’s someone shooting at me. More at eleven”
Glad to see im not the only one who appreciates this scope
your music choices never disappoints lew
Glad you enjoyed mate!
you say theres no one at dorms but everytime i go there theres a 4 man who just obliterates me lmao
One of the most underrated tarkov creators
that jump out the window at dorms was clean.
What settings do you use in game? Seems like foliage and stuff is super minimal.
I love your chilling background music
to your question about "the tankiest timmy you have ever seen" BS has 40 dmg thats why you often headshot scavs twice with it, it simply does better against armor than flesh
Swampfox Trihawk massively slept on.
Insanely nice optic for 30K.
Running this baddie with an MCX and a canted FF and just poopin on the world.
Great video man Monstrum 2x is slept on honestly, surprised its not used more probably my favourite optic atm
Thanks jafooleys monstrum enjoyers unite
"AHHHHH......... right so there is someone shooting at me"
4:22 "Swear bro too, slow" Man take it easy, he probably didn't even see you before he died due to the terrible latency lol
been really enjoying finding you and your vids, only got into tarkov this wipe but it's very fun, thank you for the great content
I've been rolling with the Spectre DR lately, only 60k roubles on the flea and the 1x/4x variable as well as the little aim nub on top for cqc is fire
Finally someone I agree with, the Dr or the 1x6 valday does the job very well
The reason you were having so much trouble with bs ammo in the beginning is because it does have the highest penetration rating out of all of the 5.45 rounds but it also has the lowest damage and since you were shooting timmies it wasn’t doing much damage to them that’s why I like bp the best because it has high pen and decent damage
I like BT and BP but i dont understand why bsg dont allow us to craft them :
@@annguyenlehoang7779PP is very accessible and BT is not extremely hard to get
Did you bind the audio callout "reloading" on your reload key?
I don't think I want my enemy to know every time I pull the mag out of my gun.
I was thinking the same thing
I wish the game would let you try out weapon preset builds before buying them so you could do things like hear what each suppressor sounds like or test the optics without paying millions to try every single one. Idk i feel like it is a part of Tarkov that should be more like a game instead of realistic, the same way healing is just sticking a needle in your arm and takes 7sec.

If you like head tapping with Monstrum - try Aimpoint Pro. Super clear 1Moa dot and x1 makes it so easy to tap almost at any distance.
ROMEO Optic for short, monstrum for mid and tac30 for range. Simple guide. Love the monstrum nobody else uses it i find
the 1st geared played i ever killed had an akm with a monstrum. been my go to sight ever since
Great scope to use with NVG's as well.
that postfx is so nice
been obsessed with ur vids man!
This is your break keep at it! i promise keep it up and you're making it guaranteed
Thank you brother
10:30 that scream xDDDD

and that's how your fav scope's, since day one, price gets f@cked hahaha
I feel the same way about the trihawk. Fantastic scope. point-fire for anything within 25m. Easy!
The monstrum is a solid scope irl as well
I have a 1.5x and a 3x in real life on my AR15 wylde and 300 blackout. Love them.
stoked for another upload. Always love the vids!
thanks mate
This is my go to scope. I love how clean it is
