How 7.62 BP Became The Best Round In Patch 12.12
1,297Today we're looking into how BP became the best round in patch 12.12. Ammo, weapons and armor in EFT play into each other and determine what is good firstly at different stages of a wipe, but also between wipes as the community comes to a consensus as to what the most overall effective equipment is available.
BP rounds are good in their own right, but there have been patches in the past where the whole platform was not used, for one reason or another such as high recoil or other weapons simply outperforming.
This started to turn around when the Mutant was released, because this gun is a vicious monster with the ability to be modded very low on recoil for 7.62x39. Not only that but the AKM series also got buffed with the .308 muzzle adapter, greatly increasing the recoil reduction of the best builds.
Combining this with the armor selection possible in 12.12 with the changes to the flea market and traders, as well as the availability of BP vs other good rounds has let to BP becoming highly prevalent across the game!
