I dont use the compact mounts since you need PK lvl3 or buy those from 20 to 50k, which is annoying cuz not many people like the scopes that go on too of it, I didnt know you can use that 3x-10x, if you want a solid pistol to back u up, you can get a shrimp for a blue gun powder, and 19 rounds of bt or ps which I think is the same price as 366 ap
Mr Beef at it again! Many thanks sir!
I love these videos, hell I love all of yours. Woods is kicking my ass but im not even at 15 yet so I cant just go on the flea yet
My man. This is very nice. Problem is… getting to 15 is the problem in itself. Yeah i'm shit
i love the vpo-215, i could even just use it bone stock with how its sights are. super cozy gun! .366 AP is your obvious choice, but you can also load EKO for better performance at range (less accuracy debuff, better velocity). Keeping a full stack of bullets in your case and having some spare mags, you can easily take care of scavs at a distance, and do your best to stay out of clumsy close-range fights. AP is also craftable at workbench 2, which is something to keep track of if the flea market ever bans it.
2.25 moa is tiny, that's 2 inches/5cm at 100meters – a head is about 10cm across, so you're not going to have an issue with the weapons accuracy until 200m or so.
Killed some guy on woods with this load-out today, this is a great kit ngl
Yeah, 6B3TM battle bib!
I've been running the vo-209 as my primary weapon this wipe tho i like semi auto
so i run something smiliar for sniping tho i have been running the double barrel or revolver shotty as a secondary weapon or any shotty i get from a scav run the manual shotty i think have a lower chance of jamming
Thank you including the cost of insurance. many build guides fail in that department. I love using the 215, and yes, I get it back minus any optic and/or suppressor. However, I always carry a pistol when I have a bolt-action.
"These comeback all the time" not if im looting. i take every scrap i can get cuz need to make me that poor mans money😂
366 in general is a good round and I like to bring the 209 with ap since it allows me to handle mid to cqc. The fact that if it hits you either your dead or it blacked it out and follow-up shots arent too hard plus having 30 rounds is nice.
"Gee-as-as-eicsh"
Instead of carrying golden star/ibuprofen in my secure for pain, this wipe I've been using the new Injectors case instead – takes up one slot in your secure, but you can cram it full of morphines as well as other useful stims like propital. Morphine is about the same length as Vaseline, slightly less than Golden Star, and faster and quieter to use than both, and being able to use a propi or one of the green stims when needed, which is rare but sometimes pivotal, is what makes the injector case perfect – gives you that stim toolkit to work with on that one raid in five or ten where you wish you had some.
Really well done man!
I use this silenced vpo with AP ammo to do the Jaeger bolt action rifle task. And it's actually enjoyable thanks to this gun!
I love the 205, ever since they introduced .366 AP and buffed EKO pen, I've been using that calibre all the time. Was so happy when they made those Mosin quests 'any' bolt action, this thing is so much cheaper and I love the hard hitting rounds. Doing the bolt action in factory is a hell of a lot easier when you can basically 1 tap a chest with AP. This wipe my start of game loadouts were very often including this and the double barrel shotgun, probably the most fun additions to the early wipe you could ask for. I used to use pistols for ages in early wipes, but when its literally $8k for a brand new double barrel, that makes zero sense 😀
EDIT: Bwaha commented too early, you mention this exact thing later in the video.
I like to use the Valday ps320. 1-6x is plenty for most shots I would take with the rifle.
Second favorite sniper in the game. Glad she gets some recognition.
Great video! I like how you covered your entire loadout with cost and instructions for getting the parts. I hope you make many more in this format. I could see videos like this having a lot of longevity and usefulness.
So all else being equal, if we were to substitute a VPO-209 in place of a VPO-215 what kind of [snipable] range reduction are we talking about given the different MOA? (and yes good point about not getting sniper XP)
..reason I am pointing out the VPO-209 is that, playing as scavs, one can exil garbage VPO-209s (non-100% dura) and barter for 100% dura VPO-209s with Mechanic at level 1. (it's hard to ignore Level 1 friendly shopping when Tarkov is so crushingly tough at the beginning)
..so is something fundamentally wrong with VPO-209 even if you were to use it like slow shooter? Inquiring minds wanna know 🙂
P.S. Thank you for producing so much great content about Tarkov..Tarkov really is the Dark Soul of FPSes–and I am glad content creators such as yourself are helping us so much to google EFT to death. Standing on the shoulders of giants here 🙂
P.P.S. I am going to compare VPO-209 and VPO-215 myself now, I am kinda curious too. XD
i used this gun in factory the last season and I earned tons of kits, 100/10
That headset is unbearable man. I just don’t get how any human with human ears can wear them. You guys must hear on another frequency or something haha.
Great video beef. Love this stuff!!
366. AP tears holes in players
For min max I like injection case. You theoretically don’t need any other meds beyond surgery. If it’s a smaller map like customs you can exfil without fixing limbs. Propitol 17k or less will fully heal and zags will remove bleeds 20k. I still usually bring hemo + ifak + cms since they’re very cheap if you find a better item to swap. My point is the injector case has made me not care so much about meds, few raids I’ve forgotten to bring anything and the injector case carries me if anything goes south. Usually stealing meds from other players anyway.
Personally tho I do not trust 366. It is good budget at least on paper but I prefer comfort of snb or even lps mosin.
Good vid
I'm a bit sad you didn't speak about the very low velocity of the round. It has indeed very good stats, but it's velocity makes that it has a LOT of drop down range, and this will have to be taken into account, people might not think this will happen because this is supposed to be a long range weapon
Look at this chad and his a-d spam, discussing. I bet he's crying now that 12.12 has inertia. boo-hoo you ganna cry now that you can't jiggle peak desync kill the whole lobby. I have over 50 confirmed sniper kills and over 1,000 unconfirmed kills. 1v1 me in current patch scrub. see you on woods 😎
Or will you??? cuz I'm an special ops élite trained sniper and you'll be dead before you even hear the crack of my leathal weapon.
Gigabeef is like the Brian Cox of Tarkov.
I appreciate your vids!
Being an Alpha-Container player I usually carry a CMS-kit, either goldenstar/ibu/vaseline and one alu splint inside. If I need space for a stack of expensive ammo or a quest-key, the splint goes into the pockets/rig 😀
i've been running a kitted 209 and just destroying people its honestly super broken imagine a full auto version
The modern 1911 with is currently selling for around 10k has great true glow irons much like the 5.7, takes 11 round mags, can use .45 ap on the cheap, and is a holder for flashlights you find in raid. I would highly recommend it as a secondary along with 1 extra mag for kills on players close range. As for meds I would highly recommend using a ifak and hemostat for around 14k total cost and it handles all bleeds and a majority of healing situations for very little space required, maybe throw in a adrenaline for a quick hit if you get caught out and need a pain killer.
I've basically used this loadout for a couple wipes now. However, I now always go in with a double barrel + magnum as my secondary. The DB is soooooooo good and honestly might be one of the most slept on weapons in EFT right now. For 8k, you get a weapon that has the easiest time 1 tapping faces in the game. Firing both shots at the same time makes for such a dense pellet spread that I always have an easy time landing headshots. With the most high end visors and helmets being untradeable and locked behind high trader levels, it's rare to see face shields right now. And if you do come up against a chad, the DB is still perfectly capable of blacking out the legs of your target. Also as it's damage is so burstable, it makes for a great peaking weapon.
Welp, there's go my kit, I guess I'm meta now …….
tip for alpha containers: you can put a cms in along with ammo and AFAK/IFAK and use one analgen pk and 2 regular splints in your pockets. This should cover all senarios.
id say just stick to the mosins.
As much as I love VPO-215 I wouldn't call it a sniper. Yes you can land a 300m headshot – but "can" is the big keyword here… still it IS the most accurate gun for .366TKM. Also, unless you're adamant about 2.5x monstr, 3.5 and 4.0 ACOGs are cheaper on the same mount.
I'd say EKO is more cost effective, since it's super cheap from Jaeger and has 30 pen which is more than enough since most people don't have class 4 helmets
Until higher levels I cheaper out on meds for my secure container. With a gamma it really helps for profitability to be able to drop an single use splint, IFAK or analgin painkiller in exchange for loot.
The true hidden gem is the 3.5x ACOG. If you can hip fire, you can use it on everything. < $20k
I completed Shooter born with the vpo 215 lol
I actually do a build like this very regularly, its really fun.
i use the prapor class 3 armour for propane trade does the job against shotguns and smaller ammos and 20k usual trade also m1911 costs on flea 11k i think and always 100 durability 25 pen cheap ammo
