Crafting just isn't sustainable due to HQM and the rare rifle body component demands. Occasionally, a pretty rich clan can permit to craft a considerable amount of them.
Rather than crafting, most of them are acquired directly from the existing circulation, e.g in PVP after killing someone (that's why the AK is a focus whilst looting enemies), raids, or 'introduced' into the circulation from high end loot containers such as on cargo, oil rig, etc. which means, every AK has its own story - and therefore on (near) vanilla servers what matters most is the existing circulation of AK's.

Up to medium and long range you will want to avoid full spraying and shoot in bursts, not just to conserve ammo but also improve bullet efficiency and have a higher accuracy as the first few bullets are more accurate then the latter ones. Depending on what helmet the target has, a head shot will do as much damage as 2 chest shots. Above 30 meters the amount of hits required rises up to 5-6. Unless absolutely necessary crouching is highly unadvised because of the slower movement speed making you an easier target and the unnecessary accuracy boost as the AK is very accurate even when moving and shooting.īelow 30 meters this gun will take 4 chest shots to wound a person with any armor.

The AK is an extremely powerful and popular weapon in Rust for its versatility and the ability to beat most other weapons at close and far range.
