  4. Great video but main problem that is overlooked with the vss is the overheating which causes the gun to jam constantly on full auto. Yes you can run semi but realistically you are using the gun for cqb and going full auto. Would not recommend using the gun at all until they fix that the gun SHOULD not jam after the second mag

  7. Good video, I’ve been exclusively using 9×39 with a PSO for 2 years, early wipe you cannot beat the price of a Val or VSS, it’s 45-60k then comes suppressed and you could start crafting SP-6 at level 20. An extra tip, you can buy 20 rounders for cheaper than 10s, go to fence and buy the car manual from him, (if it’s not there just check again) he sells it for 5k which is the same price as 10 rounders and only requires level 2, he also sells strike cigarettes for the BP trade if you are lucky, however those are rarely in his inventory. It will be interesting to try the 9a-91/VSK next wipe, they are supposed to be a less expensive VSS/VAL in real life, idk how that is going to beat the price of the VSS though.

  8. In my experience low durability VSS does not jam frequently and It is half the price I have never bought a full hp one and never got a jam other than overheating in the second mag and that does happen if its 100 percent hp or not.

  10. I have been using the AS VAL pretty much this entire wipe. I agree with the nerfs they did to it honestly. I have wiped squads at dorms and it always felt kinda dirty being able to spray 3 mags. Now you just have to be more aware of how youre using your ammo, both because of heat and smaller mags than most guns.

  12. 24:40 at 3.3 MoA you'll be lucky to hit a man at 100 meters, if he's standing still
    If he's moving it's just over don't even try, with a repaired scav vss/val it's even worse.
    Part of the reason why I'm so pissed off at the ASH-12 changes, since that shit was so accurate that I could land 250 meter headshots

  13. I personally don't see the point of this weapon at all, the ammo is way to expensive to be viable, altough I'll admit i haven't used it a lot.
    The ammo is too expensive for what it does, you can craft m993 (556×45) for the M4/HK416 and it'll be just as strong for a fraction of the cost, the only benefit i see of the weapon is the cheap modding options but they're negated by the ammo prices. You can get a really good AK-101 or M4 for 300k and it'll out perform the vss.

  15. I think that both guns are cool and can be fun to use, but it's all about the value proposition for me. I don't run either the AS VAL or the VSS until I already have more money than sense because it's just too easy to throw together a black MDR for less money.

  19. Awesome video man. I just got a scav run with a VSS and was looking at running it. Got some BP ive found in raids, crafting PAB9 right now.

    Keep up the amazing content!

  27. Something to note, the 6P29M rail attachment (the one with rails and a foregrip attachment) does not allow a TBL laser on the left side for some reason. It allows the Klesch and others but not the TBL, which sucks in these dark dark times of the flashlight big. No double laser makes me kinda sad. 😢

  31. Just wanna say I really love the laid back, friendly tone you have in your vids. Helps making Tarkov seem less stressful at times. Thanks for the great content.
