Gunsmith - M4A1

“Gunsmith - M4A1” is a Mechanic task in Escape from Tarkov. Requires level 19. Reward: 28,000 XP. Objectives: Modify an M4A1 to comply with the given specifications. Required for the Kappa container. Walkthrough, map and requirements.

Mechanic — briefing

Just when I finally sorted out the stable Internet connection and power supply for it, the Government stepped up the game and started blocking half the IP addresses that handled most of the data flow in Tarkov. All that because TerraGroup allegedly uses "Ebambium" ISP to further destabilize the situation in the city and wreak havoc. Sounds like some gibberish about the Ragnarok coming, don't you think? By the way about gibberish and weapons — some weirdo with a lightning symbol tattooed on his face asked for a Remington 870 shotgun. Equipped with a tactical device, Magpul MOE handguard, and a tactical foregrip. Ergonomics above 60 and recoil sum less than 500.

Objectives

• Modify an M4A1 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.
• This task is part of the Kappa container chain — do not skip it.

On completion

Mechanic: Great gun, a solid build. There are no new orders, but you can come by tomorrow.
