the neck protection doesnt matter.. its only lvl 2.. so this armor is D/C.. but this one have also neck protection (guess 2lvl bcs its one of first armors) and thats why its a S tier.. this one is too heavy and i am forest gump, so this one is must be bad at all in "neutral" category armor tier list for everybody knowledge.. and this one is very good, but it only cover back and front, so its garbage.. yeah.. becoming close to real is always feel like shit, tell me please why are soldiers check evry shot they get? because nothing is 100% safe, and finding in reality imortality armor is joke.. its also about luck, if somebody shot u in neck u are done.. and wait until they add 50. bmg sniper rifles.. then u can make new "tier list" with only one number.. shooting range paper armor.. 50. bmg sniper rifle even go through some trees, also armored parts of helicopters and army armored vehicles, including "bulletproof" glass when it only take few shots to disapear like also tank driver small glass which is thick as hell, but take 2 shots and you can say hello from driver view.. when the game reach the final realistic level and have all the promised weapons from past, it will maybe force to people think more about tactic play and dont rush everything like imortall rambo.. wanna see the face of chad in best armor die for one shot and rage because reality check isnt sweet.. 50. cal. make a revolution..
well would we look at that another armor tierlist. best one tho :D
Pay my bills so I can play tarkov all day FOR FREEE
I am humbly requesting a armor tier list based purely on 'Drip Factor'
This
rivals paca is s tier.
drd is a tier.
everything else is vendor trash.
yes
please do it
YES!
Fun fact, the tagilla armor rig actually protects HIS neck
Source: fucked around and found out
hahahhahahahas
We appreciate your contributions to science
Rig doesnt cover throat but his mask should cover it
@@boilingman4357 makes sense
I don’t think his mask covers it either. I was able to one tap him to the neck with .366 FMJ
As a gym rat and probably Tarkov rat I have to say your description of the armor being the gym shirt some guys wear is spot on and I'll never look at that armor the same, lol.
are u lifting mr leviticus? cuz ur shoulders look like they seen lateral raises with 10kg each

The best armor in the game is not to be seen and attack to the legs
-Sun Tzu
I love all the armour changes in combination with moving around what kinds of rounds are available to people on traders and on the Flea. Plus the Recoil changes, This has been my favourite wipe since I started playing in 2021. Maybe I only feel that way because I've learned the game over the last few years and now that its approaching a "playable" state I can take full advantage of my knowledge. I bet some of the new guys still feel like it's an absolute meatgrinder for masochists.
Its a meat grinder were u get one shot 6 times in a row with ap rounds while your trying to do signal part 1
i dont understand how you like the ammo changes. every single lv1 and lv2 ammo from traders fucking sucks ass and doesnt pen anything. im a new player and i get like 1000 damage blocked by armor every single fucking game while getting one tapped over and over with M995.
@@sodapopp4451 HAHAHAHA. Yup I understand why you feel that way. However once you get used to how tarkov PvP plays and flows you start to understand where to aim and when. Plus these new recoil changes make it way easier than it was to hose someone down with some rounds. Aim for the head obviously but once you start to learn the different armors in the game and where they cover with what level of protection you start to know where to shoot people or weather not it’s even worth trying to fight them in the first place. As someone who has played the game for years now you have no idea how good it feels from my perspective to have 7.62 PS be where it’s currently at in the pecking order.
@sodapopp4451 aim for the head and slow down your play a little I killed two pmcs lvl 30+ with an iron sight adar as a scav yesterday. Just keep playing man you'll get better. Don't give up this game is great after you take your ritual beating.
Then don't shoot the armor, and use all ammo that has high damage and you can 1 tap to the chest through armor@sodapopp4451
Just to note. Thor armor has tier 3 aramid inserts instead of tier 2. For a cheap armor, its really good at stoping tier 4 penetrators that hit your plate and get soaked up by the inserts. Amazing early-mid wipe armor.
Neat advice.
The 6b23-2 (mountain flora) can actually take Western and eastern plates
Wiki only lists western plates like the other 6b23 vests though.
Based if true
nope, both 6b33/korund plates are from russia
@@fazhenghan8123to be fair 6b33/koround can use wester plate(irl) if you look at the back plate is very similar to 10x12 plate but in tarkov there is a smaller plate right underneath front plate but the main part are identical
In game 6b23 can use 6b13 plate or any that fit into a korund but koround are similar to western plate
Never have I been so informed, intrigued and kept up to date with a game that I will never play, thank you tall balaclava man.
Funny how airwingmarine and gigabeef (the two dudes doing the most for in game armor research) are complete opposites. Ones a burly marine from the US, and the other is a cute little twink from the Netherlands.
Bruh this comparison killed me 🤣 poor Giga
@@galaxyproductions2076 ? they just said he's cute so why poor him?
I just thought bro was European and polite...

Blunt damage is not determined by whether the armor is "soft" or "hard"; it's whether or not it has two layers of armor (i.e. plate + soft armor) covering the same area. If you have a plate + soft armor, and the plate stops the round, you receive no blunt damage. If the plate is penetrated but the soft armor behind it is not, you receive blunt damage. If you have a rig that is just a plate with no soft armor, you always take blunt damage. The behavior of this feature likely means it is a bug, and should be treated as such until BSG give an official confirmation.
The visual coverage of the armor does not matter. Armor does not have a separate hitbox from the player-model, the player-model was just given more hitboxes. Soft/integrated armor covers hitboxes like "thorax", "stomach", "upper & lower back", "left & right side", "throat", "neck", "groin", and "buttocks". These areas are covered the same across all armors with those hitboxes labeled in their coverage area. Note: there is not a single armor in game that protects the armpits; these hitboxes will always be unarmored. The only differences in coverage are between eastern(Granit) and western(SAPI) style plates. Again, these do not have their own physical hitboxes, but have a defined hitbox shape on the player-model. You can see which form-factor a plate covers as some display "FR. Plate" or "BCK. Plate" and some display "F. Plate" or "B. Plate"; I cannot recall which is for SAPI and which is for Granit. There are only these two form-factor hitboxes, despite there being a handful of unique plates like those found in the Korund and 6B23. This also means that certain rigs with poor models are not affected by their visuals. For example, the AVS rig hangs extremely low on the player model, leaving a large portion of the area around the collar-bone exposed visually. This does not affect its actual protection, and will protect the same areas as more accurately modeled rigs.
True, op should fix his video
Yes, that part where he says an armor covers the throat less than another is false, either throat is covered 100% or it's 0%
@@HellGatefr2 There are two hitboxes there. "Throat" for the front and "Neck" for the back. He was correct; that armor does in fact only cover the "Throat" hitbox while most with neck protection cover both hitboxes.
@@NatoStorm Ok my bad, I do use the Defender-2 a lot because with the lvl 5 plates from the HPC it's only 7.45 Kg with decent coverage, can get 4 of those plates each restock
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
Best armor is no armor
Edit:the comments do be funny.This joke might be funnier then the one I posted.
Why need armor when I don’t plan on being hit?
Big agree
ks-23 runner approve
True
@@justsomeplantcells- KS-23M goes Kr-Kr
Until you run into a psycho that only runs warmage
Honestly I've been having a great experience just cramming a level 4 into the front of anything and it works great.
On the note of the Tagilla rig, people pay absurd amounts of money for them on flea without any plates :|
Found a level 4 UHWPE plate early on, and threw it into a kirasa because it fit and I might as well. Gotten it back in insurance 2-3 times so far because nobody bothers picking it up.
People need to start checking the plates in armor, ive gotten a double class V plate Kirassa back twice now from lighthouse runs
If I am not mistaken, the size on the hole on the sides doesn't matter. If the armour says it covers the "left side" and "right side" than that whole hitbox has armour.
They haven't coded exact hitboxes into each armour just added more hitboxes on the PMC.
The Plates do matter how big/what shape they are, but the "soft" plates you can't remove from armours doesn't AFIK
I thought that was what they exactly did
From what I've researched and have been told the integrated soft armor works exactly like the old armor where if it says it covers an area that entire hitbox is protected. Only the modular hard plates have specific hitboxes which are the "FR PLATE", "BCK PLATE", and the "LEFT/RIGHT PLATE" areas. So no, the holes on the side should not matter, the exposed "Armpit" hitbox should be the same across all armors that protect the sides.
@@UnrealFreak354 There are quite a few armours with plates that act the same as "BCK PLATE" etc. that you mention, those will act differently.
@@MsArchitectschannel For the plates, the hitboxes are also technically separate from the 3d model. It's different based on if it's Russian diamond style or western square plates.
I can not express how much I love your tier list videos. Thanks my dude.
6B13 is the most OP sleeper armor this patch. You get this from scavs frequently, for free, it is class 4, it repairs insanely well (that's the most OP thing in my opinion), cheaply, and it is common, heavy and bulky, so noone takes it from your body. Also you can easily buy class 5 plates for it, and they are heavy and bulky as well, so even taking them out of your armor is usually a nuisance for person looting you. Most of my insured 6B13s return to me, even with class 5 plates, and I have to spend 10k max to repair it, and I'm ready to go. And it covers you pretty good, has neck and groin protection, it is ultimate versus scavs, and ok versus players. In meta where you usually get sprayed into face anyway there is no point in taking more expensive and rare armor, especially spending like 200k on them.
Point about side holes - let's be serious, almost all armor (even those with side pockets and class 6 plates there) does a lousy job at protecting you from the side, unless it is some Zabralo or Thor, which also cover your arms
This also buffed buckshot and grenades so much. Shrapnel and pellets have so many ways to slip through armour
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
Lovely video, well explained and reasonable picks imho. I appreciated the “chat” vibes of your speech!!
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
Love the video bro, respect for the muscle growth, keep up the good work
Great job Lev!
.....love the darts holding the blue screen 🤣
Osprey has been my favorite rig for a while now, it’s just a really solid choice for both protection and storage space
New gun tier lists will have to follow.
Dude nice background track playing. Super chill and vibe going on!
The goon rig with the shoulder pads is actually pretty good, it has additional lv5 proprietary side plates in it
Knights rig, and yeah its pretty good and also has bonus intimidation effects
Just found your channel, thank you for the lists!
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
where do you draw the line in a game? your leg has them too but you can't be one shot there
@@tz7763 you’d bleed out in a matter of minutes for an arterial wound
I've been waiting for this video! THANK YOU
personally ive been enjoying running the usec rig for 30k off flea, lvl 3 pure plate carrier with t3 plates, very good for budget runs which for me are all the runs
As a warthunder player who watches these videos for my occasional foray into SPT I find the plug for the snail hilarious.
Kirasa with level 4 plate gang
I graduated to the 'kirasa with lvl 5 plates' club now that I can freely buy them.
Which plates do you use?
@@dylanhecker6686 SAPI level III+ ballistic plates. You get to buy them after completing insomnia and they are really nice and light.
@@balinthehater8205nice! I'll have to try it out! Thanks
"This is a weighted vest for a crossfitter" 🤣 🤣 🤣
So glad the ospreys are getting the recognition they deserve. For the lvl 5 version its been my go to for like 3 wipes.
9:19 -- The area you're pointing out here is where the subclavian arteries and veins hang out. They are very big blood vessels and damage to them is not QUITE as catastrophic as damage to the center of the chest, but not by much. It's still extraordinarily bad news.
Best war thunder guide I've seen
Has my boy been puttin on some muscle mass? Kickass dude, keep it up
Ik
FYI where you pointed when discussing eastern plates...would be a chest shot. That's still part of the chest cavity and you're touching the upper left part of your lung. Those plates make sense in an IRL perspective becasue that cut out allows greater mobility of the shoulders forward and feel much better to where than standard square plates which in turn have to be somewhat smaller to compensate.
I'm g lad to see you ranked the press armor so high. At tier 3 prapor and peacekeeper you can load it with T4 and T5 front/side plates, it has decent protection, and lots of players wont take the time to actually look at the plates to see if it isnt a throwaway armor. Further, that armor is the cheapest you can get as well which is a major issue since the majority of the armors you mentioned are 300k+ on the flea with NO armor plates.
i think irl you are more banking on a situation of "don't get shot" or being in a situation to get shot
woaw I didn't know they changed how armor works so much... I was running with the slick for a few raid on spt(I don't and won't play live anymore) so I guess I need to research this a little lol
Plates are very good but limiting. The 6B5-15 is lvl 4 no plates. This means shoulders are also Class 4 protection. In something that uses plates that protection softarmor on the shoulders would only be class 3 even if you put class 6 plates int.
So the 6B5-15 is limited to class 4 protections but at least protects everything it coveres with class 4
Love your videos, im glad i found your channel
I don't even play tarkov but it doesn't even matter because I keep staring at your jacked arms? How can I grow those?
I feel a few of the armours you didn't consider the same way as I would. Some of them I like for reasons of they are cheep and you can stick good plates in.... the press vest,6b23 and a few other body armours are amazing not because of protection but because you can comfortably stick level 5 armour in them and get it back if you die allowing for a competent armour against lower caliber rounds for those closer quarters maps
Glad to see the high mobility take the #1 spot. I haven't been watching the Meta but have been trying different armors all wipe and when I started using this rig it improved my pvp quite a bit. Nice list
As always, entertaining and excellent details
didnt know levictus was out on customs taking backshots 4:37
just as i was preparing to go study for a math exam tomorrow, you upload, damn you
I finally unlocked flea market and I needed this guide 😭. Thank you 🙏.
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
holy shit dude you are jacked af compared to your older videos
Ikr like damn boy
As an active War Thunder player, stay out of it while you still can
i went to sleep last night praying for this video and here we are today, thank you uncle levi
Uncle???????
Hey new player here ty for the cool video on armor very helpful ! Also I found the Gen 4 hmk high mobility armor in a ground cache today I had no clue it was the best ! Also found some comtac 4’s in a ground cache so very hype
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
Tiger rig is a really nice plate source you get tier 6 plates and it sells back to ragman for 70k without the plates in
Literally been waiting for you to make this. W
4:28 The tan 6B5 features neck protection although it is tier 2
I have to disagree with one thing. I would put the rat rig in c. It's only ~85k and you get class 4 protection on your whole front, both the chest and stomach, which is the only amour in the game that does that, some other amours might give you some stomach protection but not class 4 on the whole thing. And it repairs pretty well to boot.
yeah, I would sacrifice back armour for that. Just don't get shot in the back, duh
agreed, its actually kinda op
You have quickly become one of my favorite tarkov TH-camrs. Keep it up the good content!
Love ur vids and I love how you're still understandable in 1.5x speed lol
15:00 all of those rigs have brought me riches on reserve this wipe
I love the HPC because it’s pretty much just 2.5KGS with t5-6 plates meaning you can grab a ks23 and sprint around the map like a demon
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)
The other downside with the killa armor that I think Airwing made mention of is that the class 5 back plates that come in that armor are loot only. So if the back plate gets worn out, the only way to replace it with something equal or better is to find one in a crate or go kill killa again.
Honestly agree with the Karisa. I run that thing with LVL6 protection in the plate slots.
4:31 "goods"
9:48 you have several very large important veins and arteries that go through that part of your chest as well as the apex of the lungs a little lower
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.
The press you can get essentially for free at ll1 + lav1.
3 halfmask = paca
Paca = yellow cloth
3 scav vests = grey cloth
1 pomm juice = 6b13 plate
Those 2 cloths + a plate = press
You can absolutely pump these things out by just picking up slickers (barter for scav), half masks, and juice. Seriously you can get the mats for like 4 of these in one scav run.
9:30 what you don't know is that there are vital blood vessels going through your armpit and getting shot in there is often as fatal as getting shot in the lung.
You are looking pretty toned man, keep up that gym grind
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 difference is that the "Plate sources" are not easily accessible, nor do they tend to be inexpensive. Using a high quality plate in them is a waste and using a lower quality plate in them is needlessly costly.
i completly agree with the statment stated in this video's title
I’ve heard gigabeef say the visual representation of armor coverage actually dosent matter. like something dosent cover some of your armpit because that’s how the armor looks. If it covers a hitbox it covers it it dosent matter the physical / visual coverage. Anyone know if this is true
press vest is best vest, throwing lvl 5 plate in the front and lvl 4 in the back is actually insanely good, also korund has its own sideplates so they are super cheap because they only go in the korund (i think)
i will continue using slick and hgrid cus i am stuck in the past and they look cool
Is there a spreadsheet version of this? Really need something to be able to reference quickly.
Can't wait for the new gun tier list and for it to be completely different from the old one.
I hope we get a day where you can have a plate carrier over a softer vest.
Honestly i use kirasa on almost every single one of my setups. It's just so good for 40.000₽ and i usually have some armored rig or a worse plate carrier laying around from my scav runs that i can just butcher to beef up my kirasa
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.
10:09 Had 6b on and I was doing the jumpover on customs from warehouse to new gas, over the portapotties and a scav with BT shot me in the armpit mid-air and killed me. 27 second raid...
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
FORT Redut-T5 might actually be really good. more coverage then the zabralo, slightly less durability, and less weight
The Goons Crye Precision rig has front back and side plate slots, plus integrated front back and sides- not too bad.
4:38 "as someone who gets shot in the back quite often" Bro??????? 📷📷📷📷📷📷📷
personally id take the defender 2 with GAC 3s15m over the korund since it has level 3 aramid and the sideplates arent an issue for me personally i just combat that with good positioning. and over the gen4 hmk cus its much lighter and holding W is priority for me but great list.
I don't even have a PC to play tarkov but i love watching your tier list video 😂
Not a soul can convince me that isn't Sean Strickland
Flora 4 armor should go to B, or not in C however. Better protection than the others, plus more protected areas. Plus, it's often found on scavs.
Never thought I'd see the day where the slick was placed below F
Best thing to do: Buy press armor, insert level 6 front plate, insure it, if you die %75+ you’re getting it back because who wants to lug around a lvl “3” armor
The barg is so good especially on reserve and lighthouse.
Class five plates in a kirasa have been fantastic, and no one usually takes the kirasa because they think its class 3.
I don't even play the game, just entertained by your form of presentation and knowledge of the game, been here since the first few stereotypes and stuck around, kee0 it up and it would be cool if you got into stalker gamma
definitely completely perfect and indisputable
Great video. I couldn't see the slick? Dİd I missed it?
