Mp-153 shotgun, either just chuck a 6 round mag on it or look up deadly slobs "fraud" shotgun.

8.5mm buckshot.

Scav/berkut backpack.

Zhuk-3 press armor.

Triton rig.

Oh, and the Kiver helmet/face shield(feel these are necessary with how ridiculous scavs have been lately)

Scav run in shorline :)

Neked with an sks. (BP rounds optional)

SCAV runs

Molot + any sight, 3 mags of AP bullets - spare bullets in pouch, Hemostat and IFAK in pouch, Balaclava on the face and you're ready to go Woods - that's something I'd wear if super broken.

Or SKS + PS ammo instead of Molot

More money - WT rig (because of 2x2 slot) or Triton + 6B23-1 armor + Ratnik

as a gun - Saiga 12g with AP bullets, AK (for 7.62) slightly modded (sight, front grip, buttpad), ADAR (now there is no barter so idk if it's worth it)

I don't know if it's under 90k. But my loadout for the foreseeable future is as follow: paca, dick helmet, sks, some PS Ammo, some sort of headphones.

Depending on what I'm doing I use different BP and rig. For doing tasks a small backpack and no rig. For loot runs the biggest rig I can get my hands on and an attack2 BP.

I just reached lvl 10 so finally starting loot runs with a lot of space.

Plain sks, no attachments, BP rounds.

6B3TM-01M armored rig or something else you can afford (tier 4 or nothing at all tbh)

cheapest headset

no helmet

meds and ammo in your butt

KS23+RatRig Actually no, there is no such loadout in the game, I'm sorry

Sks with bp

Mp-153 with 8.5 buck is my go to budget gun. Ap-20s if you want more pen/ distance.

Pp-19 is a great budget smg and can basically be converted to a wannabe aks. See what you have at your disposal with your vendors.

Armor and gear is subjective to what you want/ need for that type of run. Typically I invest more in armor and less in the helmet.

Learn to snipe and rat with SR or DMR. Base gun with a scope around 4x is usually good enough and costs about 100k. Blue bp, chest rig, and meds another 50k, the rest is spent on the best ammo you can afford. The armor you can pick up in matches. If SR ain’t your thing, you can build a cheap smg like Bizon with t3 ap rounds for pretty cheap.

First thing to know is if you are playing easy or normal.

Matchmaking seems to favor purting together similarly kitted players, so if ticket/naked you'll encounter other low gear players more and vice versa. So going easy fully kitted is most likely shooting yourself in the foot for making money becouse most geared plawers in easy are super sweaty.

Other than that remember to equip the 4x4 safebox ( obtained throw season pass freebies) and stinger saves a lot in meds and the rig space for them.

For any other advice more info woud be needed, like how are you dyng and your specific goals/playstile in a match.

I would recommend solo loot runs with budget kits. Sinister, chap and other YouTube content creators have loot run guides.

They normally suggest doing it on Normal with a big backpack and no armour etc but even if you do it on Easy with green tickets you can get anything between 400k-1mil

It sounds like you should spend the $10 on a battlepass, which provides a mountain of ammo, armour, heals, guns, and the bigger safe.

Otherwise I'd use blue stuff. I don't bother with green. I've also had a fun time with shotguns and blue slugs for headshots so try that out. Somehow I've survived like 8 rounds in a row with the new double barrel shottie. Adding a suppressor and removing the stock has been really fun.

1. Do rat runs. Go in as stinger with 2 surgical kits.
2. Using recruit gear tickets, avoid clash and do rat run exit as early as possible. Then on next round, install a silencer.
3. Always bring 9*19 blue ammo. Guns you can scavenge from bots.backpack the 20 slot one or 21.
4. Rinse repeat usually it would net 150-300 average.
5. If you find broken armor or helmet. Swap it out and exfil asap. You can repair it.
6. Scope is essential. The 2.5 battle scope on an aks74 with silencer is my most go to.
7. Get a good headset. Sound gives spatial awareness which helps in 75% of engagement. If on a lose streak simply log out. My KD is shit but I still enjoy the game with friends.

Entirely depends on my goal for that raid. Ultimately? Shotgun and shells in my pockets.

Double barrel + bag. Will usurp the kit of the first scav / player I kill and slowly build myself up over each raid.

MMAC, no helmet, ears, full face cover, gun, 3 mags (1gun 2 extra). If you deserve a bag, you'll find one on a body.

My budget is to take a full scsv load out I survive back in and just dress up the gun.

It really depends on how far along we are in the wipe.

Early wipe: whatever I can find, usually ak with pso scope, lvl 4 armored rig, or whatever I have.

Early-Mid wipe: modded ak with silencer, pso and canted sight and foregrip. Lvl 4 armored rig.

Late wipe: whatever gear I feel like, don't really have a budget at this point.

My "budget" scales with trader levels.

Edit: For sniping I would add the Molot VPO-215 "Gornostay" To the early wipe. VPO with EKO rounds is a great combo, high damage, decent velocity, ok penetraion for early wipe. It won't penetrate anything above lvl 3, but most people don't run helmest with high armor class at early wipe.

First up why tf you running kirasa, you can get tier 4 armoured rigs for 50k and if you’re running shit tier ammo why get a vector use a kedr, mp5 or zenit also pk06 is butt cheeks same as any flip sight

What level are your traders because with jaeger level 4 I get ap20 hella cheap

Veper hunter with M80 and 10 round mags.

Always run the same on budget, traders only AK (at level 3 traders you can make a meta build with 50 recoil for ~120k)

• 30 igolnik split into and topping 3 mags with BT as bottom 20. ~40k

• SSh-68 or Ulach 22k/60k

• Scav BP + 20 slot rig 30k

• Korund, trade in for 4 diarys. 85k

In total 285k isch but allows you to handle any content in game including raiders and super chads easily. Most of it comes back on insurance as well

6b5, PPSH. Surprisingly strong for being 70-ish K

Load with 1 pistol 1 mag 1 bandage 1 smarchs

Kill scavs loot and extract

Don't buy more than this until you get better.

If you spend 150k/kit and die 5 times that's pretty much 1 million gone

The Kit:

• Ears: gssh 26,493
• Rig: Bank Robber 12,546
• Armor: none free99
• Gun: PPSh41 40,264
• Mags: 4 35 rounders 17,368
• Ammo: 240 LRNPC 23,760
• Meds: 1 bandage, 1 esmarch, 1 AI-2, (morphine in your ass for if you kill a geared pmc only) 21,804

Total: 142,235

Your goal is to kill scavs to upgrade.

Few tips:

• Let the gun spray, it cannot jam.
• You have an optional fancy 71 round drum if you really want to try to cheese a pmc with this loadout.
• You can buy it with all level 1 traders but requires jaeger.
• Shoot at their legs, you have no armor penetration.
• Don't try this on big outdoor maps, stick to customs/reserve
• Don't linger on maps, kill things quick, loot them and leave the raid. You do not have the meds to survive multiple fights

Kedr, PP-19, AKS-74U, SKS. All great decently cheap choices.

Jager vest matches barter, ragman comtacs 2x matches barter, rfb gas analyzer barter. Enjoy almost free kit

Buy a Pistol, some Headphones, play safe and blast someone. Ez

The VEPR (.366 or 7.62) is a great budget kit early on. They need basically no modding and 20-round mags are more than good enough.

Noobs should be learning good trigger discipline and not spraying and praying as well, so the semi-auto nature of these guns is great for getting the hang of picking and choosing when to engage and how to be lethal when you do.

Pair that with the new Class 3 armor and a bank robber, headset if you can afford it. That’s all I’m running for a primary kit outside the odd shotgun when I go factory

I run level 3 armors most of the time, level 4 when I find them on scavs. Usually a simple Walther/bastion or dovetail OKP 545 AK with PS works well, could get a foregrip and laser from skiier if it isn’t sold out.

I loot ammo in woods medcamp and have tons of PP, BP, BT, and BS which I now run in one mag for PMC’a (PS in the other for scavs).

Meds and food go up your butt, along with an extra stack of ammo. Level 3 helm, berkut/daypack/scavbp, GSSH, momex for drip, and you’re set.

Ye I fell in love with the pp 19. Single fire and it is easily controlable. Got me some raiders and 2x reshala plus guards. And several pmcs

Look at Mr moneybags over here with his MP5s he bought with USD.

Jokes aside, MP5 is a great early game go to. I use it for the first prapor quest. Blasts scavs at close range easy.

If you want a bit more spice, get the PPSH. Throw the 71 rounder on first then have some 35s as back up. You'll make enough money to buy another 71 drum if you live.

What ever your Scav wears/finds in raid.

5-7, 6b3tm, comtac, backpack

Best budget?

Saiga 9 with a vityaz suppressor and ap 6.3

This will discourage you from cornering people which will get you killed because semi auto. It'll make you aim for head and best of all. It's dirt cheap. Once you can slap a buttpad and reflex/dot on it. You're golden.

Think of it like a main weapon slot 30 round pistol that's cheaper to suppress with bigger mag capacity than a pistol that will also come back in insurance cause almost no one is losing a slot for it.

Low recoil for fast followups, I got kappa yesterday, I still run this gun for fun. Don't use 7n31 (Shoots high because of it's velocity) And don't try to chad around with it but if you're new to the game keep this in mind: Noise is death. If the scavs fired at you, assume players are running at you for PMC kill tasks because of the noise. The biggest thing you should consider is how much information you're giving up to other players and if you're in a firefight you already screwed up because assassination > Firefighting.

Saiga 9 suppressed and sighted/buttpadded, Potato sack armor and a 6b43 ratnik helmet, Gssh or better headphones and for god sakes at least a balaclava to cover your lightbulbesque skin color, 2 30 rounders of AP and 1 of PST(In your backpack) with 2 stacks of AP in the gamma, 1 f-1 grenade (Your retreat grenade. Toss and run), Salewa + esmarch and a morphine injector on the hotbar (Not pills they take too long to hit if someone is shooting you.) Never wear sunglasses in rain or night, they're darker than black and give you away easily.

Backpack: If you can do es lamp trade: Trizip. Beta 2 or mechanism also work. "But I'm trying to budget?" Backpacks /always/ pay for themselves in how much more you can carry. Don't ever worry about the extra cost. Having the space will always pay for itself over time even if you have 20% SR. Sell all those berkuts and small. No actual use because slots are way more important.

The class 4 armor is for stopping scav bullets, only take shots at players if you have to or you for sure can get the kill. Don't bother aiming center mass, don't bother taking fights (Run away and get into an ambush position.) If you can learn to click on heads like that, when you get an m1a in your hands you'll be farming raiders in no time.

Head set, five seven, level 4 cheap o rig from Ragman. Face mask, couple Grenades.

Really depends on how far you are on quests. If you have no quests done VSS with 20 rounders of any ammo except SP-5 (just take whatever of SP-6, SPP, BP is cheapest) and use one of the dovetail mount red dots. Depending on what the TOZ mount costs that allows you to put on a grip, add a cheap grip too. Just keep in mind that the VSS/ Val recoil quite hard on full auto now, and have an incredibly slow muzzle velocity, so you want to get close, and just magdump a guy at shotgun range, if you're on target they will die, always. (Like really, with low recoil skill and minimal attachments you want to be within spitting range, but at that range pretty much no gun competes).

If you want more range use a Hunter with M61 or M993 (whatever is cheaper, normally M61), 10 rounders, and a PSO scope or red dot on the dovetail mount.

If you have traders unlocked (specifically Peacekeeper LL3) running an MP-7 with FMJ SX is always a good option (ideally with a suppressor, but that is quite expensive right now, and so are the magazines for the MP-7, so check what trader you need to buy them, you want at least the 30 rounders). MP-7 is good out to about mid-range, and FMJ SX has enough pen and damage to oneshot trough all of the class 4 helmets, aside from random ricochets, so if you fire it at 950 RPM at someone with low recoil there's a good chance they will just die.

An ADAR with M855A1 also does wonders, but semi auto in this game is not ideal unless you fire M61 or are far away.

For Armor just run a 6B3TM (or any of the other cheap class 4 armored rigs) and a shattered mask. At this point in the wipe people consistently run such good ammo, that anything besides class 6 only really helps you against scavs, and class 4 is sufficient for that purpose. Shattered mask is cheap, makes your face dark (harder to see) and puts a high ricochet chance and buckshot protection on the largest parts of your head hitbox, but just like with any helmet don't actually expect it to save you.

Also ALWAYS (even if you just pistol run) use a headset (which one you use is personal preference, just go and get used to the sound of 1 type).

Suppressed Kedr, PBM ammo, 6B3TM-01M rig, GSSH coms.

The god slayer setup.

Alot of semi automatic carbines do work for cheap, just don't cheap out on the ammo, for cheap level 4 use the weird armored rig from ragman 2, its 50000 rubles and I get them back in insurance quite a bit, I like to run an ifak in my container and whatever other meds I like along with my keys (sicc case)
