An Updated and "GeNuIneLy PeRfeCt" Armor Tier List | Escape from Tarkov

The face mask made this impossible to listen to.

"This is a weighted vest for a crossfitter" 🤣 🤣 🤣

you get buffer my man

Nah here's a better tier list none of them are good becuase 95% of the time your gonna get one tapped to the head making the armor useless.

Armor is heavy..

Mak and Cheese

Honestly agree with the Karisa. I run that thing with LVL6 protection in the plate slots.

I love the fact that your not like any other tarkov content creator, your channel have its own personality, just chill and lets talk about this random shit in tarkov. Love your vids <3

I know this might sound odd.. but keep in mind I'm new to Tarkov have only been playing it for about a month or so.

Would love to see a video like this for bags/backpacks from you seeing as you like to use mobility, been trying to work out what bag I should run, but it's hard to find something light that also offers reasonably good storage space... been using the mbss recently but I'm not too sure. Also been toying around with no bag and just an absolutely enormous tactical rig haha. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Can you do a pistol rank and ammo for them??

Literally been running pacas all day doing the setup quest and it's basically perfect for just getting that first kill and taking the korund

I don’t care what anyone says I’m always gonna were armor for style

player hitboxes gotta change.

Top left shoulder is exactly where an artery sits, on top of that a shot to anywhere around the shoulder region has a good chance to penetrate straight to the shoulder blade and shatter it. Pretty dangerous if you ask me

I cant belice you are putting the 60k, t4 armour with groin and neck protection in C teir becsuae heavy.

Your focus on the armpits is pretty funny.

Tier 2 and Tier 3 is massive difference.. placing Kordun this high is wrong imo as it has just T2 soft. Kirasa is similar issue,.. but I guess if you mix economy in best in slot list.. you get wierd results.

Warmage/quakemaker and leg meta with paca and bank robber chest with welder googles says hi to you chads with iron man armor ...

This video is F tier.

Lovely video, well explained and reasonable picks imho. I appreciated the “chat” vibes of your speech!!

Since the armour update, most armour is easier to get with plates veing harder to get. Most PMCS look like PMCS now because you can run armoured rigs for budget. Its making the game look better too, less ww2 helmets, rigs and civ bags everywhere. Its crazy

RIP video with new patch

Airwing Marine's video on this topic was extremely well put together. Cool to see you shout them out as the effort they put into the videos is unmatched in terms of testing and explanation

I hate how most armored rigs absolutely suck now. Always my favorite thing to wear for red rebel extracts, etc.

I've been getting level 5 rigs with nothing but a scoped vpo, 7.62x39hp, and a dream. its been great. keep those armpits exposed folks

Where is ana

My friend buys plated + soft armour and removes the plates for lightness...

The Goons Crye Precision rig has front back and side plate slots, plus integrated front back and sides- not too bad.

it would be nice to hear you without the muffled face mask on...

I often forget just how many armors are actually in this game. I only use about 4-5 different ones and have forgotten about most of the others.

I don't use any of this, I go bare skin into lab like a true man. (End up dying a lot but its the point)

Leviticus should wear a full plate carrier kit when recording I think that would be cool.

I like the press armor more than the blue armor you put in S. With the press you can put t5 protection on the sides and you get t4 plates from traders pretty early

AVTOY CHMO

One time i was doing factory run for prapor's quest, and i was in kirasa (that blue non-press armor) with 4 class, and it stopped a two mosin rats with its plates, when i just didnt got any damage i just spareyed them with pp-19




(My reaction was ambatukam basicly, all of the time i was destroyed with good ammo, and i tanked good rounds for first time in 4 wipes, lul)

I'm pretty sure that soft armors all cover the same hitbox, so all neckguards cover the same thing etc. The plates tho, all have a unique shape

F

Is there a spreadsheet version of this? Really need something to be able to reference quickly.

Generally how i feel for the most part except a few

you can get the red paca for 30-35k and take it to factory. same with untar, horrible for being stealthy but great protection to price ratio

6B5-15 ( the lv4 green camo armor rig ) and to a lesser extent but still decent the 6B3TM-01M ( lv4 puke yellow rig ) the 6B5-15 is fully lv 4 front and its not a plate and class 4 handles blunt damage pretty well. with far greater durability then last wipe, survived a crazy amount of shots in a few raids so i took it into co op raid and had a friend mag dump me with pst 9mm ( 20 pen ) 30 rounder ( he spread out the shots a bit on the armor ) and i survived lamo, 30 hits and lived

And id rate the 6b2 higher ( the lv 2 20k body armor ) its only front and back but its only 20k, its the minimum armor you should wear even for rat runs.
people love to say armors worthless till a nub or scav with .336 fmj one taps them dead center of chest because they didn't wear any armor

And lastly armors like troopers, so ive killed quite a few people with troopers while memeing on Ground zero. the suppressed kedr/ppsh with most ammo is a 2 tap when you torso hit where the armor doesn't cover and its not unrealistic to quick drop someone with a 900-1000 rpm 30-35 rounders on the trooper, when i make it back to hideout i just rip out the plates and sell the rig for 30?k

Who needs armor when you have good and positive attitude?

I kind of feel like the argument you use for "plate sources" could surely be used for your "B" tier (light and fast). Even more so due to the plates they come with. The idea for them is that you're not expecting close contact so you just cover the most likely hit area for long range, your chest.

In addition, as far as I know any armor that doesn't take plates allows blunt damage pass through. So that would apply to the UNTAR and the two russian integrated rigs. They run on the old armor system essentially, sans the gaps and hitboxes. Any plate that blocks a round will just tank it completely and you will not get any blunt damage. Just some blur and a little aimpunch.

the press armor is simply the best armor that you can craft/buy before lvl 15. it's also quite light for the protection, especially its standard tier 3 back plate is incredibly light. i prefer a press armor with 6b13 front plate (tier 4) over the 6b13.

cant fuckin undertand ya

I dont even watch or play this game, good vid tho.

It's kind of insane that Tarkov has this mechanic because the only other game that I know of that takes armor coverage mechanics this seriously is a top-down turn-based roguelike that uses the entire keyboard for normal gameplay.

Bagarly my beloved how you've fallen

Pacca has saved my life against scavs more times than I can count, and it has good coverage

personally ive never gotten armpitted since the start of wipe
