Hi guys, today i am here with my go-to build in labs. with this cheap build you can destroy the thickest of bois you come across in the dark recesses of the lab. what makes this build unique is its disposability, which means you can easily discard your items and pick up your enemies' gear, doubling the profit you can earn.

before we start, an epsilon or bigger container is required for optimum efficiency but is not required, that will make your runs a little more costly.

Why do i use VSS:

Because it's the most cost effective weapon in the game for close quarters combat. decent ergonomy, recoil, ammo without even touching the weapon. only downside is the cost of mags and the ammo.

Which Ammo do i use:

I personally use BP since money is not a problem for me, BP melts enemies like butter even those in level 6 armor.

but you can USE SPP which is highly effective until level 5, still can kill someone with level 6 armor.

Why do i use 6b3tm:

I know you are now like "A LEVEL 4 ARMOR? the worst one at that?" If you're rich you can go TV-110 with its insane speed and ergonomics. but at the end of the day you will realize the difference is marginal with VSS in hand.

so why a LEVEL 4 armor? why not go thick?

a couple of reason for that

  1. AMMO is more accessible in this wipe and everyone will HIGHLY LIKELY queue lab with the highest tier ammo.

BS, igolnik, Ap Sx, m61, m995

those AMMO will penetrate level 5 armor as if you are wearing nothing. so wearing a level 5 armor in labs means nothing in a PVP situation.

but what about the bots?

highest tier ammo a bot will use are either 995 or igolnik, same as the the players. again negating the need for level 5 armor in labs. and the shit tier ammo the bots use such as BT, has only 50% penetration chance against level 4 armor.

2) learn to not rely on your armor but your movement and positioning, never get caught in the open. learn to corner jiggle and use grenades to counter enemy positioning

why don't I use a helmet? or visor?

to die like real men, just kidding.

the reason is same as above, a helmet will rarely save your life, given that the ammo is shit tier. bots tend to land headshots from great distances. and will usually go for your thorax or limbs in medium range.

you have to play around the bots' abilities to make no helmet runs work, like never getting caught out in the open.

in PVP situations, helmets and visors mean nothing. you will always get one tapped against igolnik, m61, 995. visors are completely useless especially damaged ones, damaged visor won't even protect you anymore.

WHY the mags are in the container

to make it more cost effective, you need some familiarity with container swapping before you use this build.

tip: ctrl + click on mags in the secure container to send them to the rig for a quick reload

Benefits of my Budget build in LABS.

  1. you eliminate gear fear, after a certain amount of runs you will start running and gunning people like a chimpanzee ravaging around.
  2. insane profit if you make it alive.
  3. by wearing level 4 rig, and no helmet; you make every single PVP encounter THE SAME. someone with P90 and a 300k worth m4 with 995 ammo will have the same chance against you. you even the playing field and familiarize yourself with the PVP.

I am open to contributions, there is always room for progress.

why my game looks weird? because i use nvidia freestyle.

thank you for reading, go divide some cheeks in the lab
