I love when it rains in Tarkov. Awesome aesthetic and easier to navigate around without being noticed from a distance
-
The loudness of ads is just a joke...
-
I personally like the rain. The atmosphere of the game is amazing.

5:14 nah bro said skill issue in most respectful way possible:eyes-purple-crying:

I've always loved the SKS, it was my go to weapon from start until flea when you could get PS ammo early on. The updates and upgrades to the SKS and the modding made it my favorite gun this wipe, despite its drawbacks. Only downside is it's just a clickfest in CQB. Still love it and use it a lot of the time, even now. Also worth mentioning is that it's pretty accurate compared to other 762 AK models and it really shows at longer distances.
-
Yesterday out of 5 or 6 raids on customs/woods there was rain every single time
-
Been running this build past couple days and it's great!! More gun build videos please!
-
Dawg, the SKS has been one of the best balanced weapons since it was introduced all those years ago. Used to see people meta PACA armor, the Kiver and SKS back in 2017/18
-
SKS was always caked imo one of the best early wipe guns and also just a general purpose timmycannon (especially when you get PP or BP)
-
What I do for my sks: ALWAYS bring drum mag. Fill 60 of it with PS ammo. Take a full stack of your best ammo and put it in your case. You click and drag the bullets after firing into the gun. If you have an extended fight you still have plenty of PS rounds in the drum. You only need 3 of the good stuff to really drop someone. Ammo efficient, no one is taking your BS, extra ratty.

Been running a similar one, love it
-
Rain is back on the menu boys
-
I have been a huge fan of SMGs this wipe and been running those most of the time along with the MCX .300 blackout.
-
3:40 you can get even less recoil (-5%) if you use the NSPU-M night vision scope on the OP SKS 👍
-
Good vid just used this gun for long road quest
-
My budget shoreline sniper is an sks with monte carlo stock, utg railed upper, pilas 4x scope, and hexagon supressor
-
SK-S tier
-
As a solo i run the sks with the 75 mag only vs groups in closed range jobs and this give this gun absolutly massive mass destruction style
-
love the video once again Giga, but just so everyone does know the loudness on the DTK-4 is actually slightly lower compared to the hexagon. just wanted to put that out there
