A weapon is considered far too powerful in the online shooter Escape from Tarkov, and streamer shroud has now demonstrated why that is.
Which weapon is it? The VPO-101 carbine, also known as Vepr Hunter, is controversial in the Escape from Tarkov online shooter community.
It can fire 7.62×51 rounds and is based on the Kalashnikov (AKM) platform, but has a range of about 400 meters. The weapon is considered very strong in firefights. Additionally, the Hunter is quite common and doesn’t cost much on the flea market. You can buy it for around 30,000 Rubles. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain it as loot from defeated Scavs.

Is the weapon really OP? Star streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek knows about Escape from Tarkov and wanted to demonstrate how powerful the Vepr Hunter really is.
On the Shoreline map, he immediately encountered a group of four players. He was able to take one of them out with the Vepr Hunter right away. The others in the enemy group were so surprised by this kill that they fled in panic. But that didn’t help them. Shroud followed them and took them all out in no time.
The encounter of a player with a group of enemies usually ends differently in Escape from Tarkov. The fights in the shooter are intense and demanding. Fighting alone against groups is usually not a good idea.
But shroud proves that it’s doable with the Hunter. Now shroud is considered a top player. Nevertheless, the situation shows that the weapon is OP. The recently released patch has not changed that. Here is the video of the action:
How does shroud react to the situation? Shroud thinks it’s not okay that the weapon is so overpowered.
I just want to say that the weapon is dumb. The Vepr Hunter is really dumb. I just sat there and took them out. I’m disappointed that I used this weapon on them. I feel like a dirty, dirty man.
