The fan-favorite Hk416 is, of course, part of our guide series on the best weapons (builds) in Escape From Tarkov and that's why I'm showing you the two best variants I could build here.

Guide highlights: In this guide, I'll show you two of the best builds for the HK416 in Escape From Tarkov 2023. I've built a budget variant and a meta variant, which you can find below. I also show:

  • All attachments + prices
  • Unlocking the attachments
  • Old and new statistics of the weapon for comparison (focus on recoil & Ergo)

The best HK416 Build: 2 Variants for everyone

Before we start, I should perhaps mention that you should have reached Level 3 at the dealer Peacekeeper as well as Mechanic and Skier on level 2. Not only do you need the build described above, but also to get good ammunition for the weapon. Before we can start, of course, you will need the weapon itself. This costs around 60,000 rubles on the Flea Market. In the standard version, the HK 416 has the following values:

  • Weight: 2,58 Kg
  • Max. Distance: 500 m
  • Recoil: 94
  • Ergo: 75

1. Low Budget HK 416 Build

We come to the price of 120,000 because you can sell the standard barrel of the HK416 at the dealer Mechanic for around 17,000 rubles.

When I build the high budget HK416 exactly like mentioned here, I got:
ergonomics: 46
vertical-recoil: 44

so no where as good as this article says.

but maybe BSG just changed a lot in the past 2-3 weeks.
