Gunsmith – Part 5 Guide | How To Get It?

The quest is given by Mechanic, one of the traders in Escape from Tarkov. Mechanic frequently provides quests that involve modifying guns to specific requirements. This is the fifth part of his gunsmith series, where you’ll be tasked with improving a Remington Model 870 shotgun to meet precise specifications.

To start the Gunsmith Part 5 quest, you need to be at least Level 10. This ensures you’ve gained enough experience and resources in the game to handle the more detailed and demanding tasks that the quest requires.

The main objective is to modify a Remington Model 870 shotgun according to specific rules. The gun must have ergonomics over 60, recoil under 500, and a tactical device attached, like the NcSTAR Tactical blue laser. Additionally, the gun needs the M870 Magpul MOE handguard and a foregrip of your choice. Your job is to gather the right parts and ensure the gun meets all these criteria.

The Remington Model 870 must have a few key specifications to complete the quest. First, the ergonomics must be over 60, which will make the gun more manageable and easier to use. The recoil must be under 500 to ensure better accuracy when firing. You also need to attach any tactical device, like a laser or flashlight, to improve performance. Lastly, the gun must have a foregrip and the M870 Magpul MOE handguard to meet Mechanic’s standards.

When you complete this quest, you’ll receive 4,100 EXP, which helps you level up and gain new skills. Your reputation with Mechanic will increase by +0.01, improving your relationship with him for future quests. You’ll also receive 300 Dollars, and that amount can increase to 345 Dollars if you have the Intelligence Center at Level 2 in your hideout. Additionally, you will receive 3× weapon parts and unlock a barter for an Ammunition case at Mechanic LL1, which is very useful for organizing your inventory.

You can find the necessary parts for the Remington Model 870 from various traders in Escape from Tarkov. For example, Jaeger sells the ME Cylinder 12ga muzzle adapter and the GK-02 12ga muzzle brake. You can get the M870 Magpul MOE handguard from Mechanic through a barter at Loyalty Level 1. Other parts, like the KAC vertical foregrip, are available from Peacekeeper. Each trader offers specific items that contribute to completing your gun build.

To begin, gather all the necessary parts from the traders as listed, and ensure that each part meets the required specifications. Once you have the components, start modding your Remington Model 870 by attaching the M870 Magpul MOE handguard, adding a tactical device, and using a foregrip of your choice. Make sure the gun has ergonomics over 60 and recoil under 500 to complete the build properly. Once you meet all the conditions, you can submit the gun to Mechanic and finish the quest.

Yes, there are some parts that can be swapped for alternatives. For example, the NcSTAR Tactical blue laser can be replaced with a different tactical device as long as it meets the requirements. Similarly, the specific foregrip can be adjusted to fit your preference, as long as the overall ergonomics and recoil are within the quest’s limits. The flexibility allows you to customize your build a bit while still meeting the mission objectives.

Completing Gunsmith Part 5 is crucial because it not only helps you gain experience and money but also boosts your reputation with Mechanic, which unlocks more advanced quests and rewards. By finishing this task, you also unlock the barter for an Ammunition case, which is highly valuable for storing and organizing your items efficiently. Plus, completing the gunsmith quests builds your expertise in modding guns, which is essential for progressing through Escape from Tarkov.
