Gunsmith Part 5

As players continue progressing through Mechanic's challenging quests in Escape from Tarkov, Gunsmith Part 5 introduces a new task centered around modifying the Remington Model 870 shotgun. This task teaches players more about managing ergonomics, recoil, and tactical attachments early in the game.

This Gunsmith Part 5 guide will show you exactly how to build the gun, what parts you’ll need, and the rewards you’ll earn after successful completion.

How to Unlock Gunsmith Part 5

Players unlock Gunsmith Part 5 after finishing Gunsmith Part 4 and reaching at least Level 10. Mechanic assigns the task, requiring you to modify a Remington Model 870 to meet very specific performance conditions.

Here are the requirements your Remington Model 870 must meet:

  • Durability: 60 or higher
  • Ergonomics: 60 or higher
  • Recoil Sum: 500 or lower
  • Handguard: Must have a M870 Magpul MOE handguard
  • Tactical Device: Must attach any laser or flashlight
  • Foregrip: Must install any vertical foregrip

Gunsmith Part 5 is an important early milestone in the game because it teaches players how attachments influence weapon stats like recoil and ergonomics, which are crucial in late-game builds too.
