Tarkov’s Cheapest Guns That Destroy PvP (Patch 12.12.30)
3,161Today we’re going through the cheapest weapons for PvP, starting with shotguns and leg meta before slowly moving up the calibers in terms of power. Rounds maketh the weapon in Escape from Tarkov, and so it’s very important to consider the ammunition that you will be running when trying to make budget guns and builds, because there’s no use having a cheap weapon if it isn’t actually effective.
That said, there are plenty of guns that work extremely well against players of any gear type, which is why leg meta is often a fan favourite of the “undergeared” player, as there is no counter outside of positioning. What’s more is these weapons are often extremely cost effective, so if you die you lose very little vs when you win and can gain much more.
In the more regular weapons, we have to consider our opponent’s armor and as progression in a patch moves forwards, you may have to move higher and higher up the penetration chart to be effective. The tradeoff here is generally damage and penetration for recoil and usability, which means that later on weapons like the SVD can be useful as all of their rounds are at least serviceable!
