I am mainly making this because a lot of new players don't understand modding and generally are going to preform better with a sight and this is a guide on modding with lvl 1 traders. assuming you pick USEC you can equip all the guns given to you with a reflex sight.

M4A1 and adar ammo lvl 1 M855
mk12 low profile gas block your going to use this to replace your front sight
with the m4s your going to need a burris fastfire weaver base which u will mount on the burris fastfire reflex sight all of this is from peacekeeper lvl 1

One sneaky thing u can do is strip the m4 down to the receiver along with the adar and replace the adar receiver with the m4 and build the adar with m4 parts and the m4 with adar parts. Why am i doing this sethh? well there going to think ur m4 is a adar which they won't pick up but they will pick up your adar disguised as a m4. So when they go to sell it there going to notice something and that is when u laugh and they cry.



Mp5k/Mp5 ammo lvl 1 PST GZH
MFI HK mount from peacekeeper lvl 1
cobra sight

Vepr AKM VPO- 136 PS ammo
You have to replace the dust cover with the AKademia bastion dust cover sold by skier lvl 1
cobra / burris combo. you can also use the same thing with the VPO 209 that is chambered in .336. tula ak and akm adapter (skier) and izhmash muzzlebreak (prapor) and when u unlock the flea market u can throw a recoil pad on there and that's as good as it can get.


https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Cobra_EKP-8-02_reflex_sight This shows compatibility for many ak] platforms pretty much any sight that attaches from the bottom has the same compatibility as this one.

Silenced rifle quest req skier
If u want a silenced rifle the vepr 366 tkm Skier can be somewhat silenced by the muzzle break from skier and you would just replace the dust cover with the AKademia bastion dust cover just like its much better 7.62x39 brother.



With jeager opened up

Toz 106 buckshot
dovetail mount jeager lvl 1
scope mount jeager lvl 1
cobra sight / u can use the burris combo


For the mp 133/153 shotguns u can use the jeager ETMI 019 mount with burris combo


VPO 215 rifle If sniping use EKO ammo if not then maybe FMJ
Scope mount (215 mount) + burris combo / Cobra sight 8-18
25mm rings with vomz pilad 4x32 scope jaeger lvl 1

This is a weaker version of the mosin but having a scope always makes it easier and the muzzle break acts as a scilencer.

OP SkS
With this u got some options and you can get your very first scope by using the dovetail/axion cobra mount.
NPZ USP a 4x scope prapor lvl 1
NSPU M night scope perfect for night raids at an early wipe
cobra / burris


two last things u can buy a cobra sight shader from prapor lvl 1 try it out in pve and see if its for you and lastly if you want something with a suppressor you can use the the TT pistol as a 2ndary to take out scavs the threaded barrel and suppressor you can get from prapor lvl 1.
