Thank you again for the amazing support as of recent! In this video I put lesser used ammo to the test to prove that there are cheaper options to run this wipe if you're struggling to afford the "BEST" or other so called meta choices. I'd also like to mention that although I didn't talk about it in the video there are so many leg 'meta' ammos that are under utilized and I'd love to hear your thoughts on some secret ammo that nobody talks about!! I hope this has inspired you to try something different and not fork up loads of money to just to keep up with other peoples expectations of "good gear". Game/map knowledge trumps ammo IMO, we all know buying the "best" doesn't always secure you complete domination in a raid. Don't be cliché, challenge the meta.
im on my 2nd week of tarkov and there really was a moment where I used a pp91 kedr to kill a lvl45 with lvl5 plates and a face mask was moments before me asking my friend what bandages are for. Those first hours in tarkov are a rollercoaster
@@JustAJauneArc hey man idk if your ac had now or even uninstalled but I found upping my monitors gamma and using optics with magnification to be a godsend. the tac30 used in this video is my favorite for sure
dude, I never comment on videos, but your quality is top notch. The mixture of “stream highlight” gameplay, with narrative-based moments in-raid (explaining your thought process in a certain moment, while ducking the game audio) is brilliant. I really really love the approach of taking each raid as a story, requiring multiple types of editing techniques (narrative, montage, stream highlights) to tell. Keep it up man, very great work.
Useful tip for the Grizzly medical item: if you are using it just to heal hp, you should click left mousebutton a few times after the treatment exp in the bottom right shows up. This cancels the rest of the 5 second animation (which doesn't provide more healing). The only time you want to go through the 5 second animation is when you are fixing bleeds/fractures with it.
Great video! Hey a tip for when you are trying to make more precise shots while scoped in is to leave it in semi auto so you get that consistent reset of the recoil. I noticed it fires in burst some times in full auto and is making you miss easy shots by accident. Hope this helps!
Props to you for using the Burris on your rifles, been my favorite multi-zoom scope ever since the Valday was sitting around 60k, and now that they nerfed it'd eye relief this patch, and the Elcan's aiming dot is way too big, the Burris' perfect sight picture and reticle make it easily my favorite for both sniping and close range engagements.
@@dutchstylz5531 "Was sitting around 60k, and now they nerfed the eye relief this patch". If you've played this game for more than one patch you'd be able to read that simple sentence, and remember how just one wipe ago the Valday was around that price and didn't have the awful eye relief it does now. Pick up a book.
That would be easy, problem is not ammo there, it's not being head eyes'd across the whole city by aimbot algorithm. Or by Tagilla speedhack. Since for some fucking reason, once he locks on you with his hammer out, he can hit you from the range of a claymore and is somehow faster than you, even while being lit up by an M249 LMG.
I've only been playing 10 days and have been using AKs. I'm crafting m8561a ammo now to try it out tomorrow along with the M4. Great video Lewis. You're killing it bro.
Yeah people often forget to play to their strengths. Always baffled me when people shunned PRS saying you should at least get PS or PP - like bruh it has fairly decent flesh dmg, surely you are capable of aiming under the belt instead of the chest (because if you landed heads we wouldn't have this conversation now, would we?). Or people insisting on using AP slugs for shotguns quests - embrace the Magnum/Express for maximum pain. It's easier to just spam someone with buckshot and turning them into a mince than landing chest shot with AP and not hitting arms ..
Hey! Great video! I’m a fairly new Tarkov player, owned the game for awhile but this is my first time actually playing a bit during the wipe. As you can guess, I keep getting smacked around, but every now and then I land a few good raids. I watch your guides most over others since it just feels pretty short and to the point. Plus, I’m not Pestily or Shroud, their tips kinda don’t stick on me.
Be aware of youtube vids they are highlights haha. Just know everyone dies pretty often. Few people hold over a 75% survival rate past a 200 raids. I'm at like 52% after 250 raids and I'd consider myself an 7 out of 10 in tarkov scale
hey just wanted to say man i really enjoy your videos. as a content creator myself i can see just how much effort you put into these videos and the passion shows. eagerly waiting on the next video. also your vid on .366 AP changed my raids!
Know the map well enough that anything out of the ordinary necessarily means player, im not that good either but these guys know the map like I know the back of my hand
At this early - mid stage I’m totally with you. The majority of ppl are running lvl 4 body armor and you can fight with BT , 6A1, PS, M80 but later when it gets to lvl 5 body armor it’s definitely over for these rounds. Yesterday it took me 25 hits to kill 3 ppl on shoreline with an OP-SKS with PS rounds on lvl 4-5 armors. With BP it would be the half. But it’s quite to expensive for me atm 🤷♂️ Nice gameplay like always no yolo boost jump shit, nice accurate shots , keep it 👍🏻
@@SenkaBandit don’t build up the hideout before reaching 10.mio and you won’t struggle with money. All my buddy’s build this shit up and use it only slightly and waste all theier money on it 🙄
@Mother Russia it’s not only for the sks, every gun is in semi fire a money saver. I play a lot akmn and only go full auto in close range. it’s amazing how long you can stay into a fight if you make every shot count. With an 416 the ammo just fly out and you find your self in a long repacking mode.
Bro im only half way through this video and im so excited that I found ur channel...ur video quality and editing is amazing. Can't wait to binge all ur vids nice work man
Found this channel lately and I gotta say, the quality of your videos are amazing for the subs you have. Definetely a top tier job man, keep it up. New sub for ya
Awesome video man! I just started playing Tarkov a few weeks ago. I’ve played thousands of hours of DayZ, and thankfully those skills translated over nicely after the learning curve flattened out a bit. Keep up the solid content
Well done on another great video man, probably my favourite so far with the mix of the music in the background, commentary and gameplay. keep up this production quality and you'll get big
I'm a total noob with Tarkov and essentially pick up everything I can not knowing what I should be doing. Stumbling across your vids has given me a bit more insight even though I'm still just as confused! Thanks all the same, have a sub!
@@2Lew That would be awesome! I've tried to find how to's but most of them are so rushed and assume you know everything like maps and spawns etc so it doesn't give many people who are brand new the insight into what goes into everything. Could be a time consuming but rewarding series!
@@squintohighlights Yeah I'm working my way through them. Only level 4 so trying to understand them all as they don't really give me a lot of info. I only found out the other day that to find Jaeger I have to go into the woods (Still don't know where exactly) and pick up a note
Awesome gunplay, and trigger control! That server population was ridiculous, lol Liked and subscribed. Could you please comment which beats you used in 7:30, 9:46 and 12:20? They're super cool. Even if it's 'youtube studio music', I would like to know.
i love your videos. literal chill gaming asmr. your voice is really soothing, you dont get pissed or shout like other people who play this game. love to watch you made me decide to get the game aswell :D
The production value of your channel is insane, no clue why you have under 100k. Your situational awareness is spot on as well. Several moments where I thought your buddy was gonna enter your crosshairs.
thanks brother, I take pride in trying to make the highest quality video I can. simple things like good audio really go a long way. still trying to improve my game tho!
I discovered your channel because I have recently become a PC gamer and thus, a Tarkov player. I love the quality and care going into your content! Cheers!
I like your style, you earned another sub :) I think I've watched 20x more content than I've spent time in the game. My schedule always lines up towards the middle of the wipe and a lvl 1 player has zero chance hopping in that late.
Great video mate just a little tip if you're only healing with the grizzly, not stopping a bleed, you can cancel the animation after the first half of the animation and you'll have healed
I never comment on YT vids but just thought I'd swing by to say your content is top notch- I really enjoy your style of narrative and gameplay content. Keep doing what you are doing buddy!
I’ve been using T45M pretty religiously this wipe as well as PS. I think it’s safe to say that ammo only matters if your target looks like a giga chad, other than that if you land your shots you’re good
I think this is more relevant than ever in 0.14. I've been running 545 US in woods with a suppressed AKS74UB and just going for headshots with that low recoil, it's been working wonders.
I won't settle for anything that doesn't go through level 6 armor if I can. I don't care for price, I almost never play at range so I want the best possible ammo to be ready for anyone, even paca timmies. But good on you for playing with that ammo, whatever floats you boat :)
If its 4k he probably most likely gets 60fps average maybe . I'm not shure what specs he has or settings. It could be 1440p. 1440p you can get good fps and you can also upscale the resolution further in the settings.
I play in 1440p and upscale to 4k in post for a higher bitrate/quality on youtube. my fps is pretty decent though overall, usually somewhere between 85-120
I too get greedy and use PS on budget runs with aks or sks’. If you’re not aiming for explicitly the head, or enemies with zero armor, you can’t really expect much. Hence the cheap price tag
@@2Lew M995 got nerfed this wipe I believe; it’s cheaper than 55a1 and 56a1 on the market, because it has low low flesh damage and is outclassed by SAI AP for shooting at slicks and such now. However, it’s great getting to run m995 in all my m4s because the price is down!
I agree completely with what you said. If you're going for headshots then you really need is ammo that pens lv 4. Its very very rare you see altyns or any lv 5+ head armor. So generally if you're trying to play mid or long range engagements like he was with the vudu m4 then i think you can probably get away with any ammo that pens 4+. If you play to rush into dorms, resort go factory then you should probably bring the highest pen you can. No one is missing to much a close range, its very easy to full auto and so you want all your hits to be doing damage because in those fights that is what counts. The issue i have is i almost exclusively use holo scopes and have been for 3 wipes now. So whenever i do decide to take a vudu or HAMR or any other scope with some type of zoom i play so weird because i tend to move through the map fast and safe in more open areas and stick to the enclosed small areas because that is normally where my guns perform best, but its really hard to break out of that mindset and play into the more open areas and and avoid the closed ones.
@@2Lew Oh i can manage my shots pretty well and my aim is not the worst, but like, i'm never getting those players that just stand there for a while doing nothing :( Also completely unrelated but last time i played this game i was extract camped by a fully geared lvl 40, i may have cried and been afraid to touch tarkov ever since.
Last night, as a scav, I killed a TTV dude in full picked up Killa gear with a VPO using 366 Geska by taking potshots at him and just playing hit and run tactics. The armour still had durability on it so it must have been a combination of blunt damage and forcing him to bleed out since he was trying to escape. Ammo is great, but you can still die to the most unlikely of weapons.
i've been using M856A1 all the time for all the 4 wipes i've played. it's definitely sometimes harder to kill people (see, altyn slick bois) but it's still possible to kill them if you play it well. from CQC, u might die with it, but then again, not everyone runs altyn+slick :)
I figure you know this but if you use the pg up and down buttons it changes the zeroing range on your gun making you hit more accurately at different ranges
You had some FMJ in your inventory in an early clip - I thought "whoa, cool!" - then reveal that it was a decent ammo... oversold the "try weird shit" - that's not weird at all. That's the only 5.56 ammo I ran last wipe.
Phenomenal video glhf lad. Cheap ammo I use is the 556 sost ammo but I’ll have to try 56a1 and pp for the ak but 545 is a really weak round for me this wipe so I stick with 556 or 762 39 ps lastly the fmj blackout round since ap got move to peacekeeper 4
The wait for another coveted 2Lew video is over. The thirst has been quenched... For now. Seriously though man, love your videos. I'll keep commenting and liking as long as you keep uploading!
Great video and great overall use of sound and music. Good cuts and 'screenplay' for lack of a better word in the moment. I liked you comments on the "meta" and your encouragement to push those norms. Keep up the good work!
There is one ammo all of me and my friends live and die by: .366 AP. That shit is cheap, kicks a bit, but if you can get your shots in you can zero most armor in the game in a hand full of shots. Not to mention it's level 4 pen and does enough damage per bullet to one tap heads and thoraxes and black out any limb you hit otherwise. It's a monster in a 209 for those who put in the time to master the gun. On the flea? 5-600 Rubles per bullet if you don't craft it or buy it for cheaper. Where as M80 or other comparatively similar rounds can cost easily 50-100% that much and their guns are also way way more expensive. Don't sleep on .366 AP.
Thank you again for the amazing support as of recent!

7.62x25 fmj ppsh leg meta is king, the fire rate and flesh damage melts in 2 seconds
5.45 US ammo 👀 slightly underrated with the flesh damage and the -15% Recoil it gives you
PstM out of a Klin is a solid choice against armor on the cheap. It's basically just running m855 out of a 100rpm hose.
same reason why i run sp6 over spp when i run val, spp has a +20 recoil modifier while sp6 has a +10 which makes it a lot more easy to control

better to right click so you don't accidentally shoot while canceling
Since it is tehnically a long 5 second regen,canceling it does indeed speed up things,and im happy to see others share this knowledge
If you do it too early it could heal less then the desirable amount especially on high hp body parts such as thorax and stomach.
@@allmusicplays well the point is to do it after you healed your part to max

That would be easy, problem is not ammo there, it's not being head eyes'd across the whole city by aimbot algorithm. Or by Tagilla speedhack.

@@hfa7562 you can upscale in the game with super sampling .
@@JDMACC I play in native 4K and average 120 with a bad ass laptop.
holy shit another banger vid haha keep up the great content :) im pretty sure your channel will blow up soon :D
AP 20 and M855A1 are my two favorite rounds in the game purely because they are not the "best" ammo but they are incredibly powerful for their price.
855a1 has been crazy expensive this whole wipe though unless you have Skier 4
I'm really enjoying watching your channel progress. You're a big inspiration to me. Great work mate!!
Your storytelling and editing are top, top level. Smashing it.
wow thank you dude!
What a great video man! The quality looks better than my game when I play!
Love your editing style.
Good content man I like the little theme of the video keep it up earned my sub
10:35 damn dude way to leave poor James out to dry, I’d be pissed if I was him
Yup always play 7.62 PS but gotta say the number of times I hit someone more than 10 times and they didn't die is astonishing for a "realistic" game
😂that happens sometimes, funny thing is I get the same with M995... just goes to show it can happen with most of the high pen ammos too.
@@2Lew 366 AP is the answer
I too get greedy and use PS on budget runs with aks or sks’. If you’re not aiming for explicitly the head, or enemies with zero armor, you can’t really expect much. Hence the cheap price tag
@@2Lew M995 got nerfed this wipe I believe; it’s cheaper than 55a1 and 56a1 on the market, because it has low low flesh damage and is outclassed by SAI AP for shooting at slicks and such now. However, it’s great getting to run m995 in all my m4s because the price is down!
I agree completely with what you said. If you're going for headshots then you really need is ammo that pens lv 4. Its very very rare you see altyns or any lv 5+ head armor. So generally if you're trying to play mid or long range engagements like he was with the vudu m4 then i think you can probably get away with any ammo that pens 4+. If you play to rush into dorms, resort go factory then you should probably bring the highest pen you can. No one is missing to much a close range, its very easy to full auto and so you want all your hits to be doing damage because in those fights that is what counts. The issue i have is i almost exclusively use holo scopes and have been for 3 wipes now. So whenever i do decide to take a vudu or HAMR or any other scope with some type of zoom i play so weird because i tend to move through the map fast and safe in more open areas and stick to the enclosed small areas because that is normally where my guns perform best, but its really hard to break out of that mindset and play into the more open areas and and avoid the closed ones.
Love the editing style. If you do it yourself big ups, if not, give your editor a raise.
Came here for the ridiculous color saturation in the minature. Stayed for the fantastic gameplay and very nice editing!
Never seen someone with 15 k subs actually have really good content this looks like a 500 k TH-cam channel posted this good shit my man
thank you brother
Missed a 'Look what they did to my poor boy' moment.
those head taps are something i cannot comprehend
😂trigger discipline and practise
@@2Lew Oh i can manage my shots pretty well and my aim is not the worst, but like, i'm never getting those players that just stand there for a while doing nothing :(
Also completely unrelated but last time i played this game i was extract camped by a fully geared lvl 40, i may have cried and been afraid to touch tarkov ever since.
oh man top content. Amazing gameplay, amazing editing, funny af. Got a sub
Last night, as a scav, I killed a TTV dude in full picked up Killa gear with a VPO using 366 Geska by taking potshots at him and just playing hit and run tactics. The armour still had durability on it so it must have been a combination of blunt damage and forcing him to bleed out since he was trying to escape. Ammo is great, but you can still die to the most unlikely of weapons.
Love you bro can’t believe I’m not subbed! Changed that today.
waited too long for this! So good again!
haha sorry for the wait pal
i've been using M856A1 all the time for all the 4 wipes i've played. it's definitely sometimes harder to kill people (see, altyn slick bois) but it's still possible to kill them if you play it well. from CQC, u might die with it, but then again, not everyone runs altyn+slick :)
I think it melts for the price. Obviously 55a1 is better but by no means is it a bad ammo. It’s mid tier 556 ammo.
I figure you know this but if you use the pg up and down buttons it changes the zeroing range on your gun making you hit more accurately at different ranges
just randomly came across this video, and i love every second of it. keep it up bro
thanks dude!
You had some FMJ in your inventory in an early clip - I thought "whoa, cool!" - then reveal that it was a decent ammo... oversold the "try weird shit" - that's not weird at all. That's the only 5.56 ammo I ran last wipe.
What lol, I'm confused
@@2Lew He thought you were using FMJ, but then it turned out you were just using the bottom rung on the meta ammo ladder.
y’all seem like y’all just straight havin fun
Great video never seen ur channel but definitely subbing
Great video, really enjoyed it. Love the style. I subscribed :)
This channel is bouta blow up
first vid i have seen of you and i love it
Phenomenal video glhf lad.
Cheap ammo I use is the 556 sost ammo but I’ll have to try 56a1 and pp for the ak but 545 is a really weak round for me this wipe so I stick with 556 or 762 39 ps lastly the fmj blackout round since ap got move to peacekeeper 4
cheers brother
It gives me anxiety whenever I see inventories that don't have at least 2 propital ready to go
Encore un youtubeur magique qui arrive à voir où sont tous les pmc... et a se placer toujours aux bons endroits pour les attendre
The wait for another coveted 2Lew video is over. The thirst has been quenched... For now.
Seriously though man, love your videos. I'll keep commenting and liking as long as you keep uploading!
Thank you brother, I appreciate it
"Ye... I killed them"
Absolute gangster.
Dude fantastic editing skills! What program are you using?
premiere pro
Awesome video
Watched all the Way through
Great video and great overall use of sound and music. Good cuts and 'screenplay' for lack of a better word in the moment. I liked you comments on the "meta" and your encouragement to push those norms. Keep up the good work!
There is one ammo all of me and my friends live and die by: .366 AP. That shit is cheap, kicks a bit, but if you can get your shots in you can zero most armor in the game in a hand full of shots. Not to mention it's level 4 pen and does enough damage per bullet to one tap heads and thoraxes and black out any limb you hit otherwise. It's a monster in a 209 for those who put in the time to master the gun. On the flea? 5-600 Rubles per bullet if you don't craft it or buy it for cheaper. Where as M80 or other comparatively similar rounds can cost easily 50-100% that much and their guns are also way way more expensive. Don't sleep on .366 AP.
rat guns are indeed cheap
@@Lemonpinesol Rat guns?
@@jibb1451 guns primarily used by rats
@@Lemonpinesol What is 'Rat'?
People think Pen>everything.
856a1 and 855a1 kill thru a Slick with the same amount of shots (on average). Armor damage is an underrated factor
Man how do you keep finding so many pmc i want to pvp so bad but i dont find pmc very often. Love your content man!
let's get this man huge
sick editing
