Another task that, upon completion, rewards you with physical Bitcoins. If you’re trying to progress fast, this is a solid one to push through. That said, it’s still worth upgrading your traders first, so you can grab the attachments without overpaying on the flea and actually feel the reward instead of the “I’m broke again” effect.
If you wanna jump straight to the point, check below:
For Gunsmith. Part 8, Mechanic switches it up and asks for a very specific AKS-74N build loaded with Zenit parts. The requirements aren’t just about attachments either – you also need to hit 60+ ergonomics, keep recoil under control, and make sure the weapon takes up 10 slots or fewer.
Gunsmith. Part 8 Description
Dialogue
I have two neural networks, one scans the faces on the cameras and compares them with the database, and the other one monitors cryptocurrency trading and reacts to it. Today I’ve decided to create one more, which will monitor the temperature, humidity, pressure, and other parameters of my hideout, and among other things — respond to my mood. Let’s see how it turns out when I’m done. There is an order for AKS-74N with Zenit parts. Ergonomics should be over 60, recoil sum less than 275, and the gun should be taking up no more than 10 slots. Now for the most important part — the kit itself. We need a B-30 handguard, RK-0 foregrip, B-33 dust cover, RK-3 pistol grip, PT-3 stock, Klesch-2IKS illuminator, DTK-1 brake, and the newer AK-12 magazine, basically Zenit all around. Perhaps this is a gift for a former Saint Petersburg resident.
