If you want to stand up against the PMCs playing for hours each day to unlock the best equipment, only to run through new players, you must learn how to unlock M80 ammo in Escape from Tarkov. It’s powerful, capable of penetrating armor, but bouncy.
How to Unlock M80 Ammo in Escape From Tarkov
You can unlock M80 ammo in Escape From Tarkov by working for Peacekeeper LL3 once you finish his task Revision at Lighthouse. Revision requires you to mark four BRDMs scattered throughout the map using the MS2000 Marker.
Once you finish marking all four armored vehicles, you’ll unlock the ability to purchase 7.62x51mm M80 at Peacekeeper Level 3. But in the meantime, you can buy the FN Five-SeveN MK2 5.7×28 Pistol at Peacekeeper Level 2.
Crafting With M80 Ammunition

- Leatherman Multitool
- Gunpowder “Hawk” x2
- Radiator Helix
- 7.62x51mm M80 x80
With this combination, you’ll craft 80 rounds of 7.62x51mm M61!
