Gunsmith. Part 16 - Escape From Tarkov Guide

It’s time to see what Mechanic would love from us with his very last demanding. The builds so far have been quite challenging, but it’s time to finish with the quest chain. This is the last quest in the series and grants a lot of XP. It’s time to move to the AR-15 family and prepare an M4A1, just as Mechanic wants us to do.

Gunsmith. Part 16 Description

How much does human life cost, how do you think? Not much, I guess. But what’s even more surprising for me, it’s the contemporary art market. The value of pieces by renowned authors grows every year. They are definitely talented, but the more you look at it, the more it seems that anything can be art. It can be Grotko painting, a displaced urinal or a bunch of garbage. However, in my opinion, the most amazing pieces of art are weapons, starting with the melee – which is already universally recognized as such and can be found in many museums – to an old AK or M4, which are beautiful as they are. But weapon only then transcends to true art when it becomes unique, one-of-a-kind, in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, who modifies it for his own needs, creating a masterpiece worthy of being displayed in the best of museums. Bring me one such masterpiece, an M4A1 with NT4 FDE silencer, rifle length MK10 handguard, REAP-IR thermal scope, and a 60-round magazine. Ergonomics should be not less than 40, the recoil sum less than 250, and the weight of 5 kg or less.
