Coup monté Tarkov : Help with the quest

For this quest, eliminate 8 SMP with MP shotguns while carrying

• Scav vest:

• And an Ushanka earmuff hat:

You can use one of the following shotguns:

• MP-18 7.62 x 54 mm R single-shot rifle

• Side by side shotgun MP-43-1C 12 gauge

• MP-43 12-gauge sawed-off side-by-side rifle

• MP-153 12-gauge semi-automatic rifle

• MP-133 12-gauge pump-action shotgun

• MP-155 12-gauge semi-automatic rifle

Ambush or close combat is recommended. At a distance, the loss of damage, inaccuracy and recoil of shotguns can compromise your chances of success.

At the start of the game, standard armor blocks most shotgun bullets. As high-level ammunition is scarce, you'll often use basic ammunition to your disadvantage.

Choose your shotgun by considering its accuracy and magazine capacity. The MP-18 is accurate but slow to reload and single-shot, requiring strict shot management. However, it uses powerful 7.62 x 54R ammunition against basic armor, and can be fitted with an affordable scope.

The MP-153 offers excellent basic accuracy and is semi-automatic with several barrel lengths available. Scope mounting is limited (bracket and rail required). The long barrel enhances accuracy and naturally reduces recoil.

The choice between shells and slugs depends on your style, but shotgun accuracy is crucial with shells, especially at long range, to avoid low damage.

In close combat, the lack of space and head protection is a disadvantage (Scav vest and Ushanka). Make sure you have enough space for medical supplies, ammunition and sometimes grenades. Low-calibre Scavs can be a threat to the head, especially in the confined spaces of Customs, where they are more accurate.

Use the MP-18 for long distance, the MP-153 for close and medium-range combat, and the sawed-off MP-43 as a handgun for versatile play. The MP-18 excels at distance, the MP-153 for rapid fire, and the sawed-off MP-43 for surprising power on slow reloads.

Choose any MP shotgun, but compensate for its shortcomings in combat. Slow reloading is a common feature. Rushed shots at close range leave you vulnerable to aggressive attacks. Choose discipline and precision over reflex shots.
