Mechanic's Gunsmith tasks in Escape from Tarkov (EFT) now carry the name of the weapon you build. Gunsmith Part 1 is Gunsmith - MP-133, a build on the MP-133 pump-action shotgun. Parts 2 and 3 follow the same pattern.

Mechanic gives Gunsmith - MP-133 at loyalty level 1, so the task opens as soon as you can trade with him. Every number on this page matches patch 1.2.0.0 from 6 October 2026.

Gunsmith Part 1 requirements: 6 stat checks

Mechanic checks 6 values on the finished MP-133. Open the gun in the modding screen and compare each value with this table before you hand it in.

Gunsmith Part 1 build: every part, trader and loyalty level

Mechanic sends you an MP-133 when you accept the task. The example build adds 3 parts from 3 traders.

The Mechanic barter gets you the forestock before Jaeger reaches LL2. It costs 1 Damaged hard drive. With Jaeger at LL2, you can buy all 3 parts from 2 traders: the forestock and the grip from Jaeger, the laser from Skier.

Jaeger opens through Mechanic's task Introduction on Woods. Find Jaeger's camp, take his encrypted message and bring it to Mechanic.

How to complete Gunsmith Part 1: 5 steps in Escape from Tarkov

  1. Accept Gunsmith - MP-133 from Mechanic and take the MP-133 he sends.
  2. Get the 3 parts from the build list above.
  3. Fit the forestock, the pistol grip and the laser on the gun.
  4. Compare all 6 values with the stats table.
  5. Hand the gun to Mechanic in his task screen.

Read 2 checks again before you hand it in. Durability must be 60 or more, and a worn MP-133 from a raid can fall below that. A tactical device must be fitted, and the laser from Skier covers it.

After Gunsmith Part 1: Part 2, Part 3 and Kappa

Old Part 2 and Part 3 have their own build pages. Gunsmith - AKS-74U needs a Zenit B-11 handguard and a 60-round magazine. Gunsmith - HK MP5 has its own stats table and parts list.
