hey everyone welcome to the channel for
another escape from tarkov video in this
one I'll be going over my top 3 low
recoil a que builds of the 0.12 patch
covering all the price ranges a budget
option a mid tier setup and the best in
slot recoil focused build the idea with
these builds is to show to
budget-conscious setups that aim to get
the highest amount of recoil reduction /
money spent and to compare these two the
most expensive best in slot build that
you can put together for the a que one
of the great things about a Kaizen
escape from tarkov is that you don't
have to spend a fortune to knock the
recoil down by a pretty good amount as
there are quite a few relatively cheap
attachments with great recoil reduction
as a disclaimer though I'll just say
that these setups are aimed at people
who are actually looking to build up an
a k9 to make the cheapest build possible
if you're looking for that just run a
plain a.k with iron sights because
there's no magic solution to upgrade a
weapon without spending a little bit of
cash my idea of a budget build is to get
the best stat upgrades possible at a
reasonable price so that's what I went
for with these setups I'll be using the
5 for 5 aks as a base for these builds
but you can easily convert them to use
on a 7 6 to a K by just changing the
muzzle device and I'll be sure to point
out which one you should use for those
builds as well I should also mention
that I'm going with the older model AKS
the AKS Evan T 474 n a km and a km n as
the base on these setups because they
allow you to use better stocks and on
the 760 to aks better muzzle devices
compared to the newer models so with
that out of the way let's take a look at
these builds starting with a budget
focus setup
for my budget a que set up this patch
I've had a lot of success using a fairly
simple build that takes advantage of
some extremely cost-effective
attachments to pile on as much recoil
reduction as possible for as cheap as
possible it's actually pretty much a
fully built rifle with a new muzzle
device handguard for grip and red dot
sight but really the only two
attachments that are even remotely
expensive are the compensator and the
red dot sight starting from the front
one of the key attachments for a recoil
focused a que build is the muzzle device
and for the five four five aks it's hard
to beat the PWS CQB compensator sold by
skier level three for about twelve
thousand rubles this gives you 11
percent recoil reduction which is pretty
huge for a single attachment but can
sometimes be out of stock and really
expensive on the flea market if that's
the case you can try out the dt k1 or
srvv compensator instead if you're
building a seven six to a k you'll want
the venom antidote compensator from
skier level three or the Landtag dragon
from skier level four
both of these are around twelve thousand
rubles and give you some great recoil
reduction next one of my favorite new
attachments for the a k in the 0.12
patch is the a k 100 series polymer
handguard which you can get a proper
level one for a measly 1,300 rubles and
it lets you attach a foregrip and a
light to any a k for my budget for grip
option I personally really like the
Zenit rk0 grip sold by skier level 3 for
about seven thousand roubles as far as I
know this is the cheapest for grip in
the game that gets you above 2 percent
recoil reduction so I add that one onto
the handguard for this build now there's
really only two things left on this
build a red dot sight and a small
upgrade to the stock for the sight it's
quite cheap to just add the tto one rear
sight adapter and put a small red dot on
top of this you can get the adapter for
about twenty eight hundred rubles at
proper level too and for this build I
just used a PK o six sight the PK o six
is about sixteen thousand roubles from
jäger level to but you can add other red
dot sights to this adapter as well if
you have a certain preference finally
the last piece of this build is the GP
25 recoil pad on the basic a K stock
which gets you a nice added bonus to
recoil reduction for only about three
thousand roubles for the overall stats
on
setup I got the recoil down to 68 on the
ak-74 and 98 on the AKM with this build
with around 48 ergonomics keep in mind
that your numbers might vary a little
bit since my recoil control skill is
around level 30 if you pick up the rifle
for around 30,000 rubles on the flea
market this whole setup only runs around
72 thousand roubles total if everything
else is purchased from the traders well
this build might not work for cross map
full auto sprays I think the stats are
pretty good for the money that's
invested into it I especially like using
this setup for throw away runs like
rushing to take down kill on interchange
over and over again because I can build
several of them and not worry too much
about the price if I lose them but I
still have a fairly well performing
rifle and I can use good ammo to get
past armor next up is a mid tier recoil
focus build and personally I think the
mid tier builds are where the a.k really
shines an escape from tarkov because you
can bring down the recoil by a very
significant amount using fairly
moderately priced attachments that being
said this mid tier build essentially
just upgrades a few main pieces of the
budget set up to bring down the recoil
buy another pretty big margin while
trying to keep the cost pretty
reasonable as well for the muzzle device
I stick with the same one as the last
build either the PWS CQB compensator for
the 5 4 5 aks or the venom antidote or
Landtag drakon for the 7 6 2 aks
alternatively if you want to suppress
this build I would recommend the PBS 4
or PBS one suppressors both of which can
be found for about 30,000 rubles on the
flea market since overall they have the
best recoil reduction for suppress take
a builds for the handguard
I think the CAA RS 47 handguard is one
of the best options for aks if you're
talking about cost-effectiveness
it gives two percent recoil reduction
has a decent economics boost and comes
with four rails attached which saves you
money and time when making the build you
can get this handguard for about $100
from peacekeeper level 2 which is a
pretty good price considering it adds
recoil reduction and for rails next I go
for the Zenit rk1 for grip on this setup
which is a bit of a step up from the
last build and can sort of be considered
an optional upgrade this four grip is
sold by skier level 3 for about 17
thousand rubles
gives you 4% recoil reduction I say it's
an optional upgrade because you're
paying almost triple what you would for
the rk0
but only for one extra percent of recoil
reduction with that being said I figure
if you're looking to cut 10k from the
overall cost on this setup without
losing much performance running the RK 0
grip instead is a pretty good compromise
for the site I just went with the exact
same setup as the last build at eto one
rear sight adapter with a PK o six red
dot but again use whatever site you're
most comfortable with the next big
change in this build over the pure
budget setup is the stock which is
swapped with the Zhukov s stock about a
hundred and eighty dollars from
peacekeeper level four
this stock is actually the sole reason
that older model aks are better than the
new ones in escape from tarkov in my
opinion this stock gives an incredible
49 percent recoil reduction and eleven
organ aam expands
making it by far the best stock option
overall for recoil focused a kei builds
finally the last thing I add on to this
build is an upgraded pistol grip for the
ergonomics boost the Magpul m OE grip is
both the best option and fairly cheap at
only 7500 roubles from mechanic level 3
so I go with that one for the overall
stats on this build I got the recoil
down to 53 on the ak-74 and 70 for
recoil on the AKM with around 60
ergonomics on each which is actually
only a few points away from the stats on
the best in slot recoil setup while
being significantly cheaper if you get
the rifle for about 30,000 rubles on the
flea market this build will run you
roughly a hundred and sixteen thousand
rubles altogether if you purchase
everything else from the traders
considering this setup is only six
points away from the best in slot recoil
build while being about fifty thousand
roubles cheaper I'd say a mid tier ake a
setup like this is definitely among the
most cost effective assault rifle builds
in the game before I move on to the best
in slot build I just want to mention
that for a very modest extra bit of cash
you can add a hybrid sight combo to this
build on the ak-74 N and a kmn that I
use very heavily in the mid game all you
need is an MPR 45 mount from peacekeeper
level 2 and a PSO 4 time scope from
proper level one move the pko six on to
the MP r45 and attach the PSO scope to
the receiver and now you have a four x
and red combo for only a
eighteen thousand rubles extra
lastly for this video I want to go over
what I would consider the current best
in slot recoil build for the a K both to
show you how to build it and to show
that despite all of the extra cost it
actually isn't that much better than a
mid-range modded a K with a good
selection of parts starting from the
front again I am going with the same
muzzle devices from the last two builds
either a PWS CQB compensator for the
five four five aks or the antidote or
Drakon compensator for seven six two aks
same options for suppressors as well
either the PBS four or PBS one for the
maximum recoil reduction the handguard
here is seeing a major upgrade to the VL
Tour CM Rd handguard sold for about
thirty two thousand rubles at mechanic
level for this handguard adds five
percent recoil reduction the best in
slot four aks and needs keymod rails to
add attachments
I chose the Zenit RK 2 for grip on this
setup because it has the best in slot
recoil reduction stats at 5% this grip
is sold for about twenty four thousand
rubles at skier level four and comes
with an ergonomics penalty so to be
honest it's not a bad call to go with
the rk1 grip I mentioned earlier instead
because it has more balanced stats at a
better price
next I swapped the basic dust cover for
a fab defense P DC dust cover adding
some accuracy points
ergo points and a top rail for mounting
scopes this dust cover will run you
about 17,000 roubles from skier level
four for the site you can run pretty
much whatever you want on this dust
cover and I'll be pricing the build
using a PK o six sight to stay
consistent but on this best in slot
setup I often prefer something like the
hammer or Valdai scope just to make it
more versatile but this adds about
50,000 on to the total price tag for the
stock again I'm running the Zhukov s
stock since it has the best recoil stats
and a good ergonomics boost as well and
finally once again I add the MOA a Kay
pistol grip for an ergonomics boost but
I also like to add the RP one charging
handle which gives you one
ergonomics points for only about 3000
rubles that's about it for the
attachments on this setup and as you
might already be able to tell this build
is quite a lot pricier than the others
while really only adding a few extra
percent of recoil reduction for the
overall stats on this build I got the
recoil down to 47 on the ak-74 and 65 on
the ache
which is pretty much as low as you can
get on an a K when it comes to recoil
you'll notice that it's not really much
lower than the mid-tier build though so
you're paying a high premium for that
few extra points of recoil control this
bill does get over 50 economics with a
60 round mag attached so that's a
definite plus side to using this best in
slot build especially if you're running
a magnified optic the total cost for
this build is around a hundred and
sixty-seven thousand roubles altogether
if all attachments are purchased from
the traders and the rifle on the flea
market it's still definitely cheaper
than a fully built m4 but a mid tier ek
build is definitely very cost effective
compared to the best in slot setup well
that about covers it for these a.k
builds and I hope you found the builds
and the comparisons between them helpful
you can definitely dump a lot of cash
into an a case swapping out parts but as
I hope this video shows if you're smart
about what parts you add you can really
knock down the recoil numbers without
spending a fortune I'm looking to do a
video similar to this one for some other
weapons and escape from tarkov as well
and I'm thinking the next ones will
likely be for the m4a1 and sa-58 going
over a budget mid tier and best in slot
build for each I'll be streaming more
escape from tarkov on twitch at
twitch.tv slash j-dog the wise and it'd
be great to have you drop by the stream
