Is The AUG Worth Using In Tarkov? 

Have you used the AUG much so far this wipe? What did you think about it?

This just reminds me that the G36 is still hilariously underperforming against the other 5.56 options in the game, nearly nobody runs it. It doesn’t even spawn on Raider/Rogue loadouts to have a cheap flea market price.

God its annoying how much recoil the 5.56 guns have 😂😂😂

The ammo changes have really helped 556 become viable again. I've been running the MK16 just about every raid now. I was hopeful for the aug but sadly it's a bit of a flop atm. I hope some of the suggestions from Treys video make their way in, it'll definitely help the aug out along with the entire game

I'm actually getting into AUG recently. While it is hands down the worst 556 spray gun in the game, it performs really well in other roles. Since no one likes it, like the ugly duckling, it's flee market price is usually pretty low, and even lower for it's original suppressor. With suppressor and optics on, the ergonomics is still pretty pleasant. And the cherry on the top - accuracy! 1.15 MOA is exceptionally good for it's size/weight and no modding required at all, making it an excellent DMR for fast-paced long range sniping. And it's hip-fire is still good enough to fend off pushers in CQB.

If i run a 5.56 it's most likely gonna be a scar, maybe an MDR or just for the esthetics an m4 or 416

At similar stats and at similar price should be the comparison for all guns

I would rather play mk16 than Aug or G36. Was really disappointed about the g36, was hoping it's gokd

Intro hittin with that Willerz/Pestily type beat

Simple answer No unless its just for style/switching it up. Horrible hidden stats make it bad full auto. If you use as a dmr you can get an adar cheaper

using the STG 77 A1 with the irons and the telescopic isn't that bad, once you get used to the sights... for me a go to gun if i want cheap deadly versatility

Jessie with the edits bro. Intro was sick

what's cool about the AUG is the barrel length, since the trigger is in front of the magazine, it allows for a longer barrel, ideal for higher muzzle velocity, i don't know how accurate the game is to irl, but for 5.56x45, to get the most out of your weapon's caliber you want a 16inch barrel or longer and most AUG have 20 inch or close to. most of the barrel is hidden in the weapon housing though so it's deceptively quick muzzle velocity vs how much of the barrel you can actually see. do you think the AUG could be used in a dmr format? using single shot but further engagements. gotta capitalize on what the weapon is good at, which seem for the aug to be muzzle velocity. although the AK101 mv is super high as well. just thinking out loud. i enjoyed the video. thanks for the demonstration

You don't run an aug for full auto. You run it because it's cheap and incredibly accurate. If I'm not mistaken highest accuracy 5.56 gun in the game. Run it mid range for taps.

The biggest issue with all 5.56 guns in tarkov is the ammo. It has no intermediate round. You can use and 5.45 ak with PP and be significantly better off. With 5.56 you're stuck with m855 until you unlock m856a1 via a task which only has 1 more pen than 5.45 PP.

I know it's a little late but you should do a point fire next time. I see myself point firing a lot more in this wipe than previous

The new intro is hype 🙌.

Initially messing with it as of posting this comment, the A3 w/ low profile rail and a red dot (Kobra w/ ring), Ratworx adapter, SF3P muzzle device, and Monster (full size) feels fairly crispy. Actually on-par with my signature chad slaying setup for cheap, the AKS-74UN (often very cheap) which saves money, throw the Kobra sight w/ the extra ring thing (nice for not losing ergo mostly, and almost free) onto the dovetail, Zenit B-11 handguard w/ Magpul AFG foregrip, muzzle brake from Skier, and buttpad on the standard stock, for 50/203 recoil. Which is interesting, because that AUG setup SHOWS numerical values of 38/142 and only feels SLIGHTLY better, so don't trust the numbers, actually use it in your Hideout range and all that. Actually, it also shines against similar suppressed AKS-74UN setup (aside from wafflemaker, but it's insane pricey), because the AUG still has slightly higher ergos, so that's a bonus.

Found your channel recently and I've been really enjoying all the content you've been making! Keep killing it bro! 🤙

intro is lit!

also scar tip you can by the scar lower at mechanik and basicly do the adar durability refresh trick for the scar

Loved the intro! A bit worried that someone abducted one of Pestily's editors though XD

really like the intro well done... the cuts of the music to the clip and the gun shots was well executed

"tarkov recoil garbage" obligatory comment

I've still yet to run the aug I got from the Christmas gift. With my poor aim and it's recoil, I should just hand it to the first pmc I see. Seal did a great job with that cover image too.

Loved the video. Keep making update videos for people as if they’re not playing game (like me 😂)

Aug is actually not the best gun they should implement to game, cause someone is waiting for it. Vz 58 would be better, it would spin ak economy af(faster, lighter, more accurate etc etc) and it does fit in tarkov enviroment just better than Aug.

Ran the aug for the first time last night and would have entirely killed a three man alone if i would have brought more than three mags lol. Caught the last guy in a running animation and click. Should have brought a 101 😅

itll be worth it as soon as i figure out how to take off that chinese acrobat scope

That intro felt like a FrankyB production 👀

Thanks for the information Jesse! On a personal note I found the music distracting.

Great stuff as always Jesse!

Does it shoot bullets? Do you have bullets? Ok sounds good to me.

I like finding barter items and bartering for guns. I think I’ll try the AUG as I can barter for it

Intro is amazing!

The AUG got me my 2 biggest kills this wipe in terms of loot. Didn't amount to much because a player scav 1 tapped me in the face later that raid but it still got the job done lmao

I swear this wipe/patch was in the middle of being worked on when it was dumped out. It feels like they want guns to have more horizontal recoil, and new weapons are doing that, but haven't got back around to the old guns to fix it. Along with the "pistol flip" recoil issue it just makes guns feel bad and many just bad options to use. Maybe BSG is planning to go through them all again and fix it, but of course we have zero feedback or comments from them on it...

i am pretty sure the peacekeeper price went up by like almost double, so buy them on the flea, way cheaper there

i brought an aug a1 with suppressor for 70k so value is good if you dont mind the weird optic

6:03 Not gonna lie every time I play Tarkov I feel like everyone moves there D in my A 🥲😅😂😂😂😂

AUG + HHS-1 Hybrid. You're welcome. Jesse is it possible that you just know the pattern of the scar making it easier to compensate?

How do you record these Air / 3ºperson Takes ??

Very good video jesse :)

Great video, more of this!

G36 is a monster now.

Great video, thanks!

I really don’t get why there isn’t an A4 forend to mount more grips to help with the shiddy stats

You make a very good point but i believe recoil is only half of the deal here, when doing cqb i find the aug alot tighter on 90º degree turns, comparable to the mdr's, i find theres alot less muzzle sway compared to a scar and m4

I'm just here for the sick edits.

This is why tarkov is in such a good state imo feels like everyone has a gun they think is cool and with enough building they are all viable

Ak 101 about to be popular again haha!

i really wanted the Aug to replace the mdr. nikita pls :(

My fps drop to 20 when I use full auto weapons so nah I haven't used it

It's horrible recoil pattern yet again points out how out of touch the devs are with recoil in this game, there are many more options around the same price with far more manageable recoil in full auto, with the same or better calibre. Slightly better than the G36 due to it's capability in semi, but then again you have the ADR at 1/3 the price or MDR/SCAR at about the same.

I tested the scar and the aug i have and the scar was way more better, i love that gun more than anything in game and irl

Sick intro

Aug is awful even on semi auto with that horizontal recoil.Although G36 doesnt have any ergo on long version, its still pretty good tho. Definitely better than aug. Damn even the autoshottys have less recoil

how do you do cinimatics like that?

.75x speed jessie holy heck

101 is the best 5.56 gun imo.

sick intro

Laser helps.

No its trash imo. The recoil is just too much compared to other guns that you can actually compensate by switching some parts.

What I do miss is GERMAN 8MM Weapons (Pistols and Rifles from the Age like MP44, Sturmgewehr 43/44 and so on, Karabiner 98K, Luger-Pistol). WHY? These Weapons are currently in use in the Ukraine War even and they are WIDE SPREAD (where also used in SYRIA War and others). So ignoring them but getting a "Mosin Nagant" is a littlebit.... well, "one sided". It is just that they ignore COMPLETELY the German Manufractures but including a Mosin Nagant even the Karabiner 98K was far much more produced and even Licensed to other Nations. Find me a MOSIN from South America? Good Luck! But you will find a Karabiner 98/K. They do even use Mashine Guns from 1890's in the current Ukraine War (not kidding, no matter how old it is, if it fired a Bullet wich hits you, you likely won't like it...): Maxim Guns, Pre WW1-Era...

Yeah but why is the G36 still unusable garbage? Ironic that a gun completely made of polymer has the lowest ergo of any AR in EFT.

How Is streets running for You? I can get into a fight without the game freezing...

It be nice if I could buy the ammo but no

Yes, with the recoil right now most if not all gun shoot like they automatic pistols soo

Why are both Augs like 500 more USD for me?

the answer is no, just use it to feel cool, tap it or single fire mostly, full auto is terrible

Ok but is any gun worth using if the game itself isn't worth playing?

sell it, buy the MDR. same price better performance

I dont like the aug. Mk16 has better recoil, it's more fun

Aug is doodoo. G36 doodoo. 416 doodoo. Game is silly

все таки я считаю неправильно Aug за 580$, который рано открывается и у которого в цену входит коллиматор и механический прицел сравнивать с обвешанным АК-101, который стоит столько же, а открывается позже. и уж тем более сравнивать со Scar-L, который стоит 1000$ без обвесов. одиночными они стреляют одинакого. кстати версия Aug A3 действительно не стоит своих денег, доплата за сраную планку на прицеле не стоит того) вот если бы A3 поставлялась с цевьем, которого в игре еще нету - было бы интереснее.

RFB is better tbh

Not worth it, it's recoil is ridiculous.

no gun is worth using right now, the game is shit :(

All full auto guns are junk rn with the shit recoil system.

cheap cqb bullpup

For me it is about the shooting sound, if it is not as good as Styer Aug from counter strike 1.6, then I don't care about it.

nope
