Gunsmith - AKM

“Gunsmith - AKM” is a Mechanic task in Escape from Tarkov. Requires level 18. Reward: 28,000 XP. Objectives: Modify an AKM to comply with the given specifications. Required for the Kappa container. Walkthrough, map and requirements.

Mechanic — briefing

Are you good at hiding? Not good enough for Sniper not to find you, I think. I don't envy the guy, what’s his name, Brendan I think. Interesting, all those heroes of the past who we admired so much, where have they all gone? Why has everybody become so empty? Why now, with this chaos around, such folk as Sniper became heroes for us? Why have we been ignoring such war dogs, and now we’re looking forward to being friends with them? What do you think? I have another order, for an R11 RSASS. With a sighting range of 1500 or above. Weight 6.7 kg or less. Also needs a silencer, ergonomics more than 26, and recoil sum less than 300.

Objectives

• Modify an AKM to comply with the given specifications

Tactical notes

• WHERE TO GO: nowhere. The gun is built at the hideout workbench — no raid needed; parts are bought from traders and the flea market. The parts list and build screenshots are further down this page.
• The parts list and both in-game build screens are further down this page.
• Unlocks only at trader loyalty: Mechanic to LL3.
• This task is part of the Kappa container chain — do not skip it.

On completion

Mechanic: Yeah, you can't hide from something like this. Love 7.62, a good caliber. Thanks for the work. Next order should be tomorrow.
