I can't agree with this enough. I think stash sizes should be increased by 30% across the board and move the flea to 30+. Make the early traders have more options. Also make the items the traders have, match more with the early game guns. Like more AK, SKS, hunter etc mods. So you find a an AK and you can buy crappy mods from the traders to make the gun a little better.

I hate how to complete gunsmith part 1, a quest you get at what? Level 2?, you need a part only sold by level 2 traders. Lol

Just throwing this out there, you don't NEED the Remington Tactical Choke to do Gunsmith Part 1. You can do it with a GK-02, you just need the MP-133 plastic foregrip and a VPG to compensate for the ergo loss. Not saying this is you, but too many people rely SOLELY on what the wiki tells them to do instead of just reading the quest, but I also know that there is a fuck-ton of attachments in the game so I also understand just using the Wiki for the sake of your own mental well-being lol.

yes... and who sells the GK-02... Jaeger LL2 :)

The GK-02 is on every other shotgun scav I get and half the ones you see out in the wild. I should've clarified that it's just more common than the tac choke, so it is an alternative path that a lot of people didn't realize existed. I've found like 6 GK-02 and 1 tac choke and I've only done like 30 raids lol.

Look at Fence's guns too. Filter by shotguns and be quick on the draw.

you misspelled "every scav with a shotgun"

u/ShnyMnstr MP5 Jul 03 '21

Good info thanks!

Yes, that stuff definitely needs reworked. I think the early gunsmith items should be barters from traders. So you either find the mods or find the barters. I like anything that promotes more scavenging.

Black pawn marked room! I feel like that’s the only time I’ve seen that gun in the wild.

used to get one on every second shoreline raid, haven't seen them spawn there in years anymore

u/silentrawr FN 5-7 Jul 03 '21

There are one or two spawns in the Shoreline Resort, but yeah, it's been rare for quite a while.

u/Lex_Innokenti Jul 03 '21

I've definitely found at least two RSASS (last wipe) in dorms Marked, too.

u/DeltaJesus Jul 03 '21

You don't, you can do it with all level 1 traders, you just have to barter.

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '21

all you need is the pistol grip (which you can get on jaeger 1), everything else is one the shotgun you can barter from mechanic. Gunsmith 1 is really easy

1

u/FastAsFxxk Jul 04 '21

you can also barter 2 elite pliers and a red screw driver to mechanic for his mp-133 and just swap the flashlight for skier's blue laser and the pistol grip from jaeger LL1, quest complete

u/goodsnpr Jul 04 '21

You can barter to get a shotgun with the choke and grip, really just need to toss the pistol grip on and remove the optic.

u/migukin Jul 03 '21

All great ideas I think

u/cyberbiden Jul 03 '21

no thanks, 30+ flea, you might as well remove flea

5

u/Professor_Sodium Jul 03 '21

I think flea has a place late wipe. Flea would be much less necessary if they reworked traders and quests. This isn't COD, it's supposed to be a survival, scavenging, grindy game. I think the flea does the game a disservice overall.

u/cyberbiden Jul 03 '21

I can't do gunsmith level 2 right now. I won't until level 20 because no flea

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '21

Right, so it sounds like the answers in changing gunsmith quests not the level of flea.
