Can we please get an AP-SX craft?

Suggestion

Pretty much the title.. We can craft almost every type of AP ammo in our hideouts but for some reason the mp7 gets no love? you're otherwise stuck to 270 rounds every mechanic reset or paying 3,000 roubles per round on the flea which is a bit steep. Just thought it was strange there's no craft for it.

Just use fmj sx, still great ammo

IDK man. I find FMJ not so bad ammo. Either make it trader only or craft only. I find AP SX to strong to be common.

? It's on par with m995 or 9x39 BP, both of which have crafts? I'm not asking for a dirt cheap craft, make it expensive to balance a high tier ammo, obviously, but the only availability being 270 rounds every mechanic reset or fork over 3k a round for 15 round stacks on the flea is pretty lame.

Agreed. Both of those aren't really cheap or short time crafts either (5+ hours on both I believe?), so having a craft for AP SX wouldn't break game mechanics anymore.

? I do run different builds though, all the time, I just like to build a kit and run it till I die, or in the case of an mp7, till I'm out of ammo and stuck forced to camp a trader reset or get gouged in the flea. What would it hurt adding a craft for it so people don't have to wait out trader resets and can build their own stock of it? Obviously should be a craft equally expensive as m995 or 9x39bp since it's right on par with those ammo types

270 rounds is actually a huge amount.

And if you are one of those bois that used one gun only. Use more than one? Or be like me and have ammo boxes full of ammo cause you buy on every reset and now you don't know how to use all that ammo.

270 rounds is like 3 raids at most with an mp7 lol. I use different guns all the time as well. So far I haven't seen anyone state one good reason why we can craft every single ap ammo except apsx. Being expected to camp traders for 2-3 raids worth of ammo is just plain stupid when I can craft and/or buy it for every other gun.

Can you craft any of the 4.6mm ammo? I mostly use FMJ and would happy to be able to craft it, though at $2.21 a round its a good deal.

You currently cannot craft any mp7 ammo. You're stuck to trader reset or getting gouged on the flea market

That’s what I thought, been stockpiling in trader reset as a result

Been trying to stockpile myself.. but if you run the gun into pvp heavy maps like labs/ interchange you'll burn through an entire trader stock in a couple raids and be left waiting for restock forever, then if you miss restock you're SOL. I think a craft of similar cost to m995 or 9x39bp would suit the mp7 well, since it's ammo is on par with those two listed.

Yeah, I don’t use the gun every raid, but buy the ammo every time I remember to, so I usually have it available. It would be nice to craft it, I love being able to churn out ammo for later use, even if it’s similar in cost to craft, just nice to have another source of ammo!

But I can craft igolnik, m61, 9x39bp, m995 and a plethora of other, better, ammo? How does adding a craft do anything to make it too good other than give more availability options?

MP7 is good for the price but far from being a top gun. HK dominates MP7 in every aspect, yet you can craft 995 for it.

The Val is really really good, but you're able to craft even better ammo than apsx for it. The m4/hk is really really good yet you can craft better ammo than apsx for it, AND get 60 rounders.

I don't think I'd even use AP-SX anymore after they nerfed the damage to 35. Any reduced damage isn't going to 1 tap the head, and FMJ has enough pen for face shields.

The pen is high enough to one-tap through level 4 helmets but not enough for altyns unless it fragments.

So your options are FMJ which is better against 4 and below, or AP, which is better for 4+
