Purpose of these types of videos is to archive and highlight the performance of the subclass. This one was from patch 0.1.8.1 for Arena and 0.14.9.1 for regular tarkov, pre armor rework simplification.

Overview:

PRIMARY & AMMO
Your primary is the PP19 Vityaz, a moderate fire rate SMG with decent bullets being PBP.
PBP has 39 pen and 52 flesh which with the average armor at tier 2 is still very usable.
Face masks only go to level 3 and helmets are usually half damaged level 4's at best 39 pen can penetrate anything at head level easily.
Therefore the go to strategy with Saboteur is to shoot for the face and hope they die.
The Vityaz's build is not too bad.
In my opinion your recoil is still a little high for how fragile you are and to top it off you don't get a tac device so you really have to be aiming down sights most of the time.
You also only get 20 round mags but because of the slow fire rate and how good the bullets are its not a big negative.

ARMOR
You get a level 2 6B2 flora which cant hold plates so you are stuck with the titan soft armor.
You also get no neck protection to add even more bad news.

HEADPHONES
You get one of the best headsets currently in the game being the Tac Sports so at the very least you can hear better that a majority of the enemies making getting kills a lot easier.

EXTRA COMMENTS
No helmet and pretty bad gun only saving grace is good ammo but even then you will be outgunned/outclassed in most situations.
The 6B2 flora is level 2 Titan a middle of the road material but it doesn't matter as most if not all bullets can easily pen L2.
I'm giving this a C because you get PBP which is very good at this tier.
The problem is the fire rate is a little too slow.
So If I fight armored enemies they could theoretically ricochet a headshot and kill me in their first shot.
