Mechanic — briefing

Quite long ago, I once met the owner of KIBA Arms, we even went to a sauna together then, though I’m not particularly into it. He even broke his leg trying to jump-dive from the pier that day. Jolly fellow dreamt of setting up an airsoft field all the time. It seems his wish came true in Tarkov, the best and largest airsoft field in the world, with an only minor difference: here, you die and lose everything from a single stray bullet. Put together an AK-102, with a Ferfrans CRD Concussion Reduction Device, Magpul AFG OD tactical grip, Zenit Klesch-2U flashlight, RPK-16 buffer tube, and the Circle 10 magazine. Ergonomics should be over 70, recoil sum less than 250, sighting range 800 or more. Make sure it doesn’t take up more than 8 slots.

Objectives

• Modify a SIG MPX 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: Just don't turn on the flashlight unless you want to get blinded for days! Anyway, well done, leave it on that crate.
