My personal list for newbie friends if anyone is interested. Most of the time I'm swapping plates to VI from Kiba. Tiers based kinda on neck protection. Armored Vest: S Tier - FORT Defender-2 / IOTV Gen4 / FORT Redut-M A Tier - BNTI Zhuk (Digital Flora) / BNTI Gzhel-K B Tier - NPP KlASS Korund-VM Lightest - Hexatac HPC Chest Rigs: S Tier - Velocity Systems MPPV Multi-Purpose Patrol Vest A Tier - LBT-1961A Load Bearing Chest Rig / ANA Tactical Alpha chest rig Armored Rigs: S Tier - CQC Osprey MK4A plate carrier (Protection, MTP) A Tier - NPP KlASS Bagariy / Ars Arma CPC MOD.1 / Crye Precision CPC Face Covers: S Tier - Atomic Defense CQCM A Tier - Tagilla's welding mask Helmets: S Tier - Diamond Age Bastion + Slap / Crye Precision AirFrame + Chops & Face Shield A Tier - HighCom Striker ULACH / Team Wendy EXFIL Headsets: S Tier - Peltor ComTac VI A Tier - Peltor ComTac V / IV / Safariland Liberator HP 2.0
My favorite strat for Tier 4 armor was the ANA M2 rig, which still only takes 1 plate and gives you 2. That gave me a nearly unlimited supply of midgame armor. Later on, my go-to is getting the hexgrid from Ragman's barter for 3 Rolers I believe? And then chucking those into whatever armored rig or body armor I want for the loadout I'm using. Usually I still just use an ANA M2 rig, but with the Tier 5 GAC UHMWPE plates. And yeah, then I'll use the TacTec craft to repair those plates.
The number of times I have been killed from 150-200+m away by some scav with a SKS soft point into my neck means that I will be rocking neck/throat protection till BSG fixes scav accuracy, that being never.
I saw the same thing; it could be doing a weird thing where it's adding all of the available rigs together because the game considers them all to be in one spot.
@@calebmartin843This is exactly what is happening, if you examine stuff in traders it considers it to be a “stack” like how stacking backpacks adds their weight, but if you check in your stash it will appear correctly
tarkov(dot)help has a quest map id most likely recommend (hit EN top right to switch to english language and then the quest map is at the very top of the screen), with the one shown in the video being from the official wiki which has since been taken down due to being outdated (i only noticed this because i have the link in my search history and when revisiting, it doesn't show it.)
grumpy key (5 uses) can be obtained from Ref lvl 2 for a Lega medal (8% daily chance, 100% weekly chance) Shatun (woods) ref lvl 1 Voron (shoreline) ref lvl 3 Leon (lighthouse) ref lvl 4 imo shatun and grumpy are the best as the car on woods is 100%, and the car on interchange is a gamble but might be a safe way to immediately exit with good loot. (every one of those rooms spawns lvl 5/6 armor and/or plates, meta ammo and modded weapons as well as bitcoins, ledx, gpus and also coloured keycards.
One of the unique parts of Tarkov is how long you can spend overthinking your loadout, so I think they could balance in a little more depth to the plate system. Lightest weight + decent durability + best repairability makes Monoclete / GAC / KITECO plates a no-brainer in almost every situation. Given that Tarkov's okay taking artistic liberty with armor's stats, maybe ceramic plates could become lighter or the ultra-repairable UHMWPE plates become heavier or more breakable, given the rest of the stats. Most of the steel/titanium/aluminum plates feel like they'd be solidly balanced against each other (in weight/durability/repairability) if polymer didn't exist.
@Gigabeef, inquiring minds would like to know what the task chart you're using at 4:21 is, been trying to find something similar for a while but the only ones i find are very old/outdated.
Well well... So much for Ref 2-4 not being OP - as even with the free weekend it is still out of reach for people who don't have Arena and he just happens to be the only trader to directly sell the CCP rig, class 6 plates AND the stash keys that give you plenty of lvl 6 plates plus top ammo plus top weapons...
You still have to level up his rep. Took me 260 games to get to lvl 4 rep. That's 200h plus of gameplay. As you don't own Arena you have no idea how much of a grind it is to level up his reputation. Plus time you are putting in Arena your not doing main Tarkov quests so you fall behind trader rep there instead,its a trade off. Just buy it and see its not that easy.
@@tobyFOTS I saw it during the free weekend. 4-5h of play time for 3 sets of dailies plus weekly. 0.11 rep, 2 lega medals 3 million rubles and about 300ish GP coins? Truly a horrible time/reward ratio... NOT. Also 260 games never take you 200+ hours. Especially with last hero being an easy way to do 3 dailies in 25 mins.
wait so i guess im confused on what "sides" mean in regards to soft armor. i thought that after the armor change that any soft armor thats on thorax does cover all the way around your pmc like they made the plate, so any plate carrier in the game that has a plate and thorax soft armor by defualt covered underneath your armpits wrapping around your body with the palte. Are you saying that aside form those couple tactical rigs you mentioned the front soft armor actually still functions like when they initially added the new split up armor system? So that while plates will wrap around to your thorax sides the soft armor wont?
Beware of playing Tarkov Arena on the Chop Shop map if you hug the corner or wall on the edge of the map your more than likely to see players spawning right in front of you happen to me the first time on that last hero mode
@@cameraman1234567890aI can approve that. I lose my arms constantly in PvE but was quite lucky to not get shot in the throat. Yet, I tend to present more mass to the AI so that they have more to aim for. Seems to work fine for me.
Wouldn't the ANA M2 also be on the shortlist you have @14:55 ? At least in the UI it says the soft armor matches the plates. Gen 4 Assault also shows front, back, left side, right side just like the AACPC does (doesn't mention Thorax). But you are saying this doesn't match to the front plate / back plate area?
Is the Soft armour above the plate or under it? If something has like 20 pen and hits level 3 soft armour, does it damage the plate aswell or what? I dont get what soft armour does.
So, I’m glad to hear the APCPC is still the best plate carrier, but what about the best dedicated armor? I prefer to run a chest rig and armor combo. Also, do you have a sheet that lists the weights of the different plates in game? Would be fun to try and run different combos to see what’s the best mix
Slick has best thorax protection for the same reason as the CPC, but it does not have soft armor on stomach sides or side plate option (which protects stomach only) so you sacrifice stomach and neck protection for extra thorax armpit armor. Other than that basically any armor with class 3 soft armor that also covers the sides and can take side plates could be considered the best. Thor CRV is probably the lightest, while the Ghzel and Zhuk (green) provide neck protection and still don't weigh a ton, but you will have a ceramic front plate which means bad repair and lower effective durability than other options. Fort Defender and Killa armor don't take side plates, but give throat protection (defender only from the front) and still have acceptable weight, and then comes all the heavy chonker armors like Gen4, Zabralo, samurai redut, tan THOR, etc, which are usually considered too heavy.
@@DutchGuyMikeit’s not just weight but that does play a factor the really heavy duty vests like the Zebralo have large turn speed movement speed and ergo debuffs the Gen 4 has the least from what I’ve seen though
You can get the same best class 5 from ragman. But yeah you have to level 42 for lvl 4 ragman, which means you can EZ spam one of the best players from lvl 25 all the way to level 42. Level 25/Ref lvl 3 spamming free CPC is crazy. It’s busted. And the only class 6 being on ref is busted too
Unfortunately, since last patch the preset-system is not working properly, because I have to buy every items I already have, but are in a container/case. So as long as the needed items are not in pure stash slots and not in a container/case, the system does not find them and flags them as "not in stash". I love the preset-system, because I found a way to use it very efficiently. But a lot of famous and impactful streamers don't use this system, so my fear is, that this bug never gets fixed like many others in the game over the years. Maybe and hopefully you can set the focus on that with your reach. 🙂
I literally just ran into this myself as I started using the preset system again - you're quite right, Salewas in Med cases won't pull to the PMC for some reason. Will see what I can do
Probably Zhuk Digital or Gzhel due to neck, side plates, Class 3 soft armor, alright plates and low weight. Osprey Protection is also pretty decent, bit heavier though, and for "routine" raids the Korund isn't a bad option although the soft armor is only Class 2, which might matter for neck shots
@@Gigabeef Thanks much, I definitely have favored the Killa armor in the past but the plate durability left a lot to be desired. After watching your plates video I'm thinking the Osprey Protection or the Defender 2 are going to be my armors of choice! Thanks for the info! Now if only you had a helmets video to watch next!
He does mention your strat at 4:39 There is nothing wrong with it, having a class 5 front plate is the most important thing, so probably the best you can do at that level unless you have leveled ref and can get the CPC, etc.
IMO, 'titanium' front and 'polyethylene' back armor is best to use it. skier sells titanium 5 class by 1 golden rooster, and get 'polyethylene' by buying hpc front plate will get less damage cause titanium and back plate get less weight cause polyethylene
This is the way. Poly can tank enough shots for you to turn around or at least run away quick to cover. Then most of the time your front will be facing the target.
@@Sparrowthebird I'm level 40. Didn't realize the ghzel barter doesn't include plates. I can't be bothered with messing about getting plates that's for sure.
AACPC should be removed form traders and crafting entirely at this point. There is no way anything better than it will ever appear unless they nerf that carrier. I think it being a very rare drop from containers and cases, or from Kaban's guards, is more than a good enough source of this carrier, especially that you can buy it from flea. It wouldn't change much at all in terms of balance, but would bring back some variety in meta. It being available from Ref LL3 for mere 22 GP is just absurd, twice that amount on LL4 would be far more reasonable
@@dic-vr2mx that too honestly. If I were to balance the armor economy myself, I would just ban class 3 soft armors from the market, and remove armor plates from all purchasable vests and carriers. But I think they will do something similar anyway, considering the lates interviews with Nikita, we are in a "test wipe" right now, and the next one is to be balanced for far slower progression
Arena is so dumb. Why should the base game i payed for have any interaction thats meaningful with another i dont want to purchase and buy. You said it wouldn't be pay to win but its not even arguable at this point that the game isnt. Eod always was with its buttstash size now pockets arena. Never going back to pvp Nakkita can suck a fat one
The best overall armor (IMO) is the KlASS Korund if you plan to survive or rush somewhere. I personally almost never use it, but when i do, i feel like i'm invincible most times. I play EU so generally players are better at aiming heads but anytime they don't shoot my face, i survive. I personally just use lvl 4 armors and want them to be light. any armor that runs 1.3/1.6 kg lvl 4 plates, that's my way to go. I have 10+ K/D ratio but that's not because of the armor, it's because of the playstyle. Also, K/D ratio doesn't really mean anything because of the scavs you kill.
Feel like Arena being tied to tarkov is just a mistake. I hit level 5 in my first game arena match, and level 15 I want to say within maybe a dozen matches? If that? Its just crazy. Its obliterated the early game, this is the wipe of the level 40 Timmy. Also the new loot rooms? Just straight up better than marked rooms in many ways. All of which perpetuate the player base playing Arena. Between this and PvE base game feels kind of empty. Combine it with cheaters and normal tarkov, Its no wonder many players are either an Arena Junkie or a PvEr and who can even really blame them? Shrug.
how do you struggle for money in the game mode where the AI doesnt loot anything properly and you have a 100% chance in getting back anything insured? you can also alt f4 your deaths on every map that isnt streets. the only way to lose a kit is to either not insure it or die on labs with it

I only put level 5 or 6 front and side and light level 4 plates on the back of all my armors.
The 3s15m is the best one for a back plate, i use that when i run level 6 front. Lighter than the level 4 and more protection
It doesnt matter what armor you have it matters what armor your opponent has
Both matter.
No Ref On PvE :' )
hilarious how chikita has put so much stuff in game behind playing arena. He just cannot accept that people do not want to play his stupid arena game.
Am i the only one who noticed the weight of the osprey at 8:05? lol
It shows the weight of the whole stock when u inspect at a trader.
What's the TLTR ?
So basicly arena and ref make this game 100% pay to win. Classic russian dev logic.
It'll change by the next wipe. I heard they said they were still figuring out how the arena and Tarkov integrate together.
Please add some info about new bugs - flairs are not working properly, players may be killed because of it.
Arena is so dumb. Why should the base game i payed for have any interaction thats meaningful with another i dont want to purchase and buy. You said it wouldn't be pay to win but its not even arguable at this point that the game isnt. Eod always was with its buttstash size now pockets arena. Never going back to pvp Nakkita can suck a fat one
The best overall armor (IMO) is the KlASS Korund if you plan to survive or rush somewhere.
I personally almost never use it, but when i do, i feel like i'm invincible most times. I play EU so generally players are better at aiming heads but anytime they don't shoot my face, i survive.
I personally just use lvl 4 armors and want them to be light. any armor that runs 1.3/1.6 kg lvl 4 plates, that's my way to go.
I have 10+ K/D ratio but that's not because of the armor, it's because of the playstyle.
Also, K/D ratio doesn't really mean anything because of the scavs you kill.
HAYEECH PEE , lol
I want my lvl 6 plate trades back
Feel like Arena being tied to tarkov is just a mistake. I hit level 5 in my first game arena match, and level 15 I want to say within maybe a dozen matches? If that? Its just crazy. Its obliterated the early game, this is the wipe of the level 40 Timmy. Also the new loot rooms? Just straight up better than marked rooms in many ways. All of which perpetuate the player base playing Arena. Between this and PvE base game feels kind of empty. Combine it with cheaters and normal tarkov, Its no wonder many players are either an Arena Junkie or a PvEr and who can even really blame them? Shrug.
Not first
people buy armor? i never need to buy them after the first week of wipe
duude enough promoting CPC armor please. it is goin up to 500k for empty armor in pve time to time. Let people find out which is better daym.
how do you struggle for money in the game mode where the AI doesnt loot anything properly and you have a 100% chance in getting back anything insured? you can also alt f4 your deaths on every map that isnt streets. the only way to lose a kit is to either not insure it or die on labs with it
@@09666slayer started late and tryin to max everything as soon as possible. at the end i will get infinite currency i know that but just rushing. No need to say but GPU's are 1.5m, Military power filter was 3m, air filter absorber is 500k. the list goes on brother.
@09666slayer lol alt f4. What you playing spt?
@@Geekinofflife solo pve raids are locally run, altf4 on death = your local instance doesnt tell bsg server you died
