favorite gun this wipe is teh VPO-209. if you can fire it fast its a monster. vpo-209 + wasr foregrip + FMJ ammo and a drum mag is a great time. if you put the 20 or 30 rounders on it, you can ads' the damn thing prettty darn fast. Also it looks super ghetto so it ALWAYS comes back on insurance

@@cavemanbonk8320 I've switched back n forth between eko and fmj. Eko let's me down very often and I can't really explain why. It just doesn't drop people fast when I use it.

Etc n then I seen you do the videos it was so cool to see you actual listen/hear what your community wants to see or ask about
I do try! Always ears for ideas, even if they don't come out 100% as suggested they can give me other ideas that I haven't thought about etc. Appreciate it!
6:28 Also as per usual PSA that you can dismantle the weapon and only use the base gun, which you can also insure to get back if you die (who is going to take a non-functional sv98)
Ref 2 is amazing for lvl 4 armors and helmets, I dump all my gp coins in that, don't even bother with the weapons, you save so much with how cheap the armor is there
That flea market turn off is one of the best things which could happen, I would even prolong it for 3 - 5 weeks. It really slows the wipe, so we can enjoy the early wipe for longer, which is good since it is the best part of the wipe, at least for me and people I know agree as well.
@@EricTungCom so the point is gear diffing people that progress slower? Do you even play or just reply guy? Streamers and people that play a lot can get to lvl 3 traders in like a week. So you want only those people to access to good gear for up to a month?
Most people still think they aren't letting us use the flea as a troll or something. Those people haven't realized how many high value items are literally everywhere right now because of Christmas. Flea would crash the market if it was available. It always does that anyway, but it would've happened way faster this wipe if we were allowed to have the flea
You will 100% kill the casuals off with no flea. They need to find ways to bring casuals back so raids can stop being empty 3 weeks into wipes not find more ways to drive them out.
I would love it if they made the flea market a hideout area/upgrade, maybe part of Intel or something completely independent, rather than level locked/time locked. I feel like it would almost be the best of both worlds
I stumbled across the VSK last wipe when I shot a pmc with it and was out of ammo so picked it up for the rest of the raid and have loved it ever since. Just feels very controllable with a decent ttk. Plus limited modding means you can set it up faster than most kits
Im just gonna say it: no flea is awesome. I think they should push this even further, maybe tie it to a high level or some late game hideout upgrade? I know thats going to piss a lot of people off, but I'm loving the pvp now without flea.
when it comes to meta ak's, if you use a railed dust cover you can put on the ak-303m rail to gain +2 ergo. it looks a bit goofy but it free ergo so why not
op-sks is my darling also you can load it like mosin and still have 2 mags but the mags are detachable so you can load while moving then just take the mag off and put another empty on and load and move
I know this video is about weapons and ammo but honorable mention for Ref 2: he has level 4 armor and helmet for around 10 GP coins which is very much worth it, don’t sleep on it
Loving the no flea for 2 weeks. Wish it would be longer. It makes the game more rewarding and feels balanced atm. I imagine when more people get to endgame the flea will be needed to keep people competitive but would be interesting to see if they remove guns and high end ammo
God I love the new no flea for 2 weeks change. The game has become so much more fun. I also love the starting trader balance and how you have so many options that are all similar.
Imo, they could do flea in stages for following wipes. No flea 2 weeks, next two weeks no guns, ammo, or armor on flea, then unlock those after two weeks
AKS74UB still fucks though. Why the fuck BSG decided base stats are hidden and slight variations of the same gun handle differently is beyond me. But it's there.
Ref 2 is great cos it’s the earliest you can get tier 4 armour reliably. I use a kirasa then use gp coins to get 4 level 4 plates per reset from ref and swap the front plate in the kirasa with a lv4 plate ammo sucks tho they should of given him m855 and 762 ps
Amazing Vid mate, Question though:- What do i sell before the flea any ideas, i have 100s of cables that i used to sell for 15k a pop to fund my dying and hideout, now i'm full of loot and scared to sell for dog poop money.
Sell anything that isnt needed for hideout or quests. Most things are going to be worthless even when the flea opens. What you should look out for though are gun smith parts. Those are going to be crazy expensive on flea since it doesnt need to be FIR and everyone will be looking for them. Use the wiki to see what you need.
I don't sell anything until I need the cash - maximum optionality. Nevertheless have ended up with nearly 2mm after tonight, because my stash is full and I'm forced to sell to move things around XD
are any of the new items on traders, like why tf does bsg add half of this? AKMS tube, not on traders PNV-57E (tanker helmet NVD), not on traders new thermal? FIR only, mount is ~500k from prapor 4 did they like not bother with doing anything new to the traders? did they forget?
Flee should be removed altogether for all items except barter items and keyes. Items would finally mean something and not just be roubles per slot for selling on flea.
Don't run this gun, if you are a solo (like myself) and you end up fighting a duo/trio+ just forget about it. This thing OVERHEATS SOOOOOO FAST. One mag and the barrel is bright red it literally got my killed twice fighting teams and I threw this pos in the trash. Does it rip, yes. Is it worth the headache, no. Save your money.
This might be an unpopular opinion but videos like this do not help the community, you just told every pmc the most efficient way to take you down. Dont do the work for them. Let them figure out for themselves.

If you want m4s you can consistently farm them from the terror corp armoury on streets.
You can boost the adar-m4 build even further with STM-9. They spawn pretty often on scavs and furniture is compatible with AR15 pattern rifles.

honestly they should just remove flea market all together. game is way more fun without it.
I'm loving my magazine salads
But it's also fun having a player run in game market for me it's fun being part of it and making money that way
Food, mods, loot etc are all fine - especially things like keys/cards. I’d be interested in a no gun/armour version personally.
You will 100% kill the casuals off with no flea. They need to find ways to bring casuals back so raids can stop being empty 3 weeks into wipes not find more ways to drive them out.
95% of items then will become useless to you after lvl 25-30 except ammo, meds and keys

Man I wish the flea ban was a month long. This game feels so fresh without flee. I’m still dying but bc of kedr boys
Agreed!! I feel like it keeps the excitement going and makes way more early tier weapons viable.
Imo, they could do flea in stages for following wipes. No flea 2 weeks, next two weeks no guns, ammo, or armor on flea, then unlock those after two weeks
been using the kedr-B with PBM for the last couple raids and it absolutely shreds. Its just a poor mans vector with AP 6.3
VSK + SP-5 has been carrying me early game. The recoil on AKS-74U after patch 0.14 nerf makes it pretty poor early wipe now.

It’s not a secret lol. I suck with the thing though. 20 rounds is not a lot, and the horizontal recoil is crazy on it.
