After accomplishing Gunsmith Part 20 and progressing on Gunsmith Part 21, Mechanic will offer the most unique Gunsmith task yet, building two weapons for a single task. Within this task, we are requested to build both an M700 sniper rifle alongside an M1911 pistol. This is the first double-build we've been requested to complete by Mechanic and thankfully it's not immensely expensive. The rewards are worth the hassle that comes with this quest, having players earn an abundance of XP and something worth more than money, all for five minutes of your time.

Gunsmith Part 21 will require a series of weapon attachments for the M700 and M1911 following these criteria:
M700
- 60 Durability
- 35 or more ergonomics
- 400 or less recoil
- 6 kg or less in weight
- 1500 or greater sighting range
- A silencer
- A magazine with a capacity of 5 or no magazine

Players can purchase the standard M700 from Peacekeeper loyalty level three and the standard M1911 from Peacekeeper level one, obviously the M700 won't come particularly cheap once it's modified. The M700 and M1911 spawn in weapon containers across the map and spawn on scavs, specifically Sniper scavs that spawn on Customs, Woods, and Shoreline.

These weapons are easily obtainable from the traders although you might have trouble finding them in-raid. It's going to take a mental amount of time to locate these attachments in-raid and it most likely will only cost you 300k roubles to complete this task. However, if you're mad enough to find these attachments in-raid, weapon crates are where you'll find them.
