Escape From Tarkov “Gunsmith – AKM” Quest Guide

Gunsmith – AKM is a BEAR task for a suppressed AKM with a Fortis Shift foregrip and black Magpul 30-round magazine. The named parts matter alongside the weapon's recoil, ergonomics and sighting range.

Requirements

  • This quest is only obtainable by BEAR PMCs.
  • Mechanic loyalty level 3.

Objectives

  • Modify an AKM to comply with the given specifications

Weapon specifications

  • 60 Durability
  • 400 or less recoil
  • 25 or more ergonomics
  • 800 or greater sighting range
  • A silencer
  • Fortis Shift tactical foregrip
  • AK 7.62×39 Magpul PMAG 30 GEN M3 30-round magazine (Black)

How to complete the build

Start with an AKM from Prapor LL2 and fit the required magazine, suppressor and Fortis Shift foregrip.

The Fortis Shift can also be obtained through Mechanic's LL1 MPX MQB barter. Treat the remaining attachments as a way to meet the finished weapon's stat checks.

Check the complete weapon in the inspection window before handing it over. The quest checkmark can be inconsistent even when a build qualifies, so a missing marker alone does not prove the weapon cannot be submitted.
