In Escape from Tarkov Gunsmith Part 8, players are tasked with modifying the AKS-74N assault rifle to meet a strict set of performance specifications. Like the earlier Gunsmith quests, this one requires a precise build using specific parts. The challenge increases as you’re expected to work with more complex attachments and harder-to-reach traders.
If you're stuck or just want to build it right the first time, this Escape from Tarkov Gunsmith Part 8 guide walks you through the correct configuration, trader sources, quest requirements, and rewards for a smooth completion.
