This guide details how to complete the 'Old Friends' request from the Gunsmith in Escape From Tarkov, including warnings about potential scams on the flea market and the necessary components for each weapon: T5000, PP19 and Glock.
1. ⚠️ Warning about the T5000 Scam and Essential Components
- ⚠️ Beware of scams when buying the T5000 on the flea market. Many sellers try to sell incomplete versions without the necessary rail or pistol grip.
- ✅ Verify that the T5000 has the rail and pistol grip before buying it. The rail cannot be purchased separately.
- ✅ Make sure the weapon includes a magazine. Magazines can be purchased from Skier 3, but may not be available on the flea market if you do not have the required loyalty level.
