Tips & Tricks[]
- The RPK-74 shares the same flaw as the AK-74 and Aksu-74 - when used in Burst Fire mode, the gun loses condition very quickly. The only way to prevent it from breaking is to monitor the gun's condition and to repair it once its condition drops to 70%. Otherwise, the weapon will jam and eventually break.
- The Hard to Repair rule means that the RPK-74 takes longer to be repaired. It takes about 1 hour in-game time for a merc with Mechanical Skill of 50 or more to fix the weapon.
Notes[]
- The NATO equivalents (the Minimi and the H&K 21) perform significantly better than the RPK-74 in combat as they wear out slower and are easier to maintain.
