Help on Gun Choices.
I've gotten to a point where I have an AKS 74/2U, a Viper 5, and a Double Barrel, alongside a PB1s. Which ones do I sell, which ones do I keep, also, I have 4800 moneys.

They are all pretty common and also pretty garbage. I'd say the Viper 5 is the best for general use, since its the most accurate and has a very fast fire rate, and the ammo shouldn't be a problem if you use semi-auto for most human enemies. The PB1s is also slightly more accurate than the regular PM pistols so you should keep that as well.

When you get to Agroprom, you will easily be able to get an AKM 74/2 from dead Army soldiers, which is one of the first weapons that actually shoots close to where you are aiming, as well as a unique Fast Shooting AKM 74/2 in the Agroprom Underground, which has a faster rate of fire.



Sidorovich also sells a unique Tunder 5.45 for 20,000 rubles, which is just an OTs-14 Groza chambered for 5.45 (AK ammo) instead of the usual 9x39. It does damage way out of proportion to its caliber and it is one of the best weapons in the game, available from the start, and it uses one of the most common ammo types in the game. If it doesn't show up in his inventory, you can reload the save, but I think if you talked to Wolf after the first mission (killing the bandits at the car park to help Nimble), Sidorovich doesn't offer the Tunder 5.45 anymore, for whatever reason.

If you didn't already know, there's also a Merc Suit (the best light armor in the game) in a box in the attic of a house in the Rookie Village. Climb up the ladder where Wolf is standing, and jump to the house directly in front of you. There's also a Merc Suit in a small building at the entrance to the compound in Agroprom where you help Mole's group against the Army, so that will last you until you get a Stalker Suit from the Agroprom Underground.

Holy Jesus, you didn’t have to write an essay, but thank you so much, so as far as I understand, sell the Shotgun, keep the Viper for general use, save the AK for Agroprom and keep the PB1s just in case.

From Viper 5 + JHP rounds -> Fast AK/Thunder 5.45 -> Any other 5.56/9x39 weapon.

You are thinking it too hard, just get an AR put a scope on it, done.

I don't have any NATO guns, I've literally just done the second mission Sidorovich gives you. And I want to make money, but I don't know which guns I should keep, also considering I have jack-all ammo for them, apart from the PB1s.

Never said anything about NATO guns? Go raid the military checkpoint in Cordon.

Beat the whole game with nothing but a Makarov and Vodka.

Might be actually possible if changing outfits is allowed.
