BSG has once again overhauled Tarkov's armor and how it works. This upended my previous armor tier list, and it made what were some of the worst armors before some of the best now.
We are updated and ready to go with the latest patch so you know which armor is best to use.

Love how it’s split now. No one is ever happy. They fix the armor coverage, now everyone is complaining people are too tanky, revert it back you die to easy. There’s no winning. I personally like how it is now. Survived things I usually never would
the rats are not happy
I personally don't enjoy it a ton. Makes some of the less used ammo types almost useless, like 5.45 and Pistol rounds. Even 5.56 has been messed up by the changes. It feels like you have to run 7.62 x 51 if you want to compete.
@@FaeFactorbut at the same time that’s more a problem with what ammo is available in the traders and how’s that’s balanced rather than the new armor
I'm with ya. I really like it how it is right now. More Tanky
@@FaeFactor That was already the case before. 5.56 has always been dog.
Whenever you make these edits its a major missed opertunity to add all of the plates themselves, in the future you should do these tier lists with the plates as well factored by: Weight, reparability, how many carriers can use them, and ease of acquiring in my opinion. Thanks for the info as always
I'm already working on a separate video for plates.
You can't smush that much stuff into a single video. People just get lost and the narrative is 10x harder to maintain.
@@Airwingmarineout of curiosity, what's the average watchtime on vids longer than 20 min?
Depends on the video, but figure about 50%, less as they get longer and longer
The rat rig is class 2 in the back, making it a contender for d-tier
Rats dont have there backs to people
Best Tarkov youtube content creator out there. Keep it up man, been with ya since the crafting profit series. Loved watching you grow
great stuff brotha! woldys need this info lol
For PvE, i can not stress enough the desire for throat protection. I'm always running a face shield on my Zsh helmet as well because so SOO often you'll get a group of pmcs rush you around a corner in close quarters.
Their ammo can be pretty bad on normal maps so even having a second to finish my reload animation or start my pistol quick draw; it's VERY much needed. But even with a face shield, there's the ever present chance that their headshot aimbot ends up hitting your throat. IF a scav or a pmc with a shotgun does this, then you want this, and EVERY vital hitbox covered by armor. For that reason i agree and appreciate Airwing's armor tier lists because of his understanding of the armor system and its a purely personal reason if you think sacrificing throat protection is worth an upgrade to t3 aramid in other areas.
So again, for these reasons and my playstyle of PvE this is my recommendation. Until you hit lv 4 ragman to barter for a Fort Defender (you also get access to a t4 face shield at rag4) (and then subsequently do tasks to unlock S tier armors with throat)
i'm only running my Zsh helmet with the 6B13 armor or it's class 5 default, but aramid equivalent, Korund. Any scav you run into, you'll hear shout. If you are around a PMC that doesn't shout, then you can typically hear them sprint towards you through a wall or they're aim botting you through a window, in which case you always take cover and try to out flank.
Does the craftable armour still come with tier 5 armour plates? I thought they changed that to tier 4, but might be wrong
the tv raider bear armor rig do have class 2 soft armor
Could you make the tierlist available for download or sharing?
Thank you
You did it again! The green bear rig does have aramid! Its not a plate carrier, last time youvsaid tge same thing, its a good little rig.
Thanks pal. This was helpful a lot. Yesterday me and my buddy argued over Osprey's, like which one is better and we totally missed that soft armour has a difference.
Also i have a question is there any point to invest into neck protection, or we can skip it ?
It'll save you from svavs and pistol rounds
When are we getting a Bizon? Unplayable /s
Heyyy everyone!!
This list just doesn't make sense sometimes. How is the MMAC and Banshee a C tier when the A18 is a B tier when they have the same protective properties? The MMAC and Banshee actually provides more armor with soft side armor than the TV-110 and it's still C tier rather than B. There's more like this but I'm just naming this one for the example.
The PACA is actually good in my opinion. It is very lightweight like 3.5kg
a vest that stops almost no ammo is not good no matter what it's weight is....
Something to say about the rat rig
Its trash but last i was looking it was 45k fresh and 4 of them trade for a freshie
Tier 4 for adjusted 36k roubles is what it is...
to me this is how I'd rank the armors myself but I noticed in my own opinion neck armor is useless ASF :)) I've almost never tanked a neck shot with neck armor only being lvl 3 at most i've died to scavs using anything, I think zhuk 6 is very good overall even just putting lvl 5 plates in it I actually treasure protecting stomach a lot more sometimes cause if you get blacked stomach the multiplier is insane from some shot gun scavs
Putting the korund in C is diabolical 😂
Personally love it as its only 9kg compared to other class 5's that can be 14+
But why wouod you run it if you have the b nd a tiers
Tier list is incorrect its based on his opinion not the armor rating
Thanks for the tier list, wish we didn't have to get a new one again. Changing from realistic plates to unrealistic plates is backwards progress. We have had this meta before, and we know where it leads. This change will push the meta to anything but big caliber and high pen ammo will be relegated to meme/scav tier, better shoot legs Timmy. Are we going to go full circle and have them also adjust ammo availability at traders to combat the forcefield armor and make all calibers feel viable? That's irony. This change was a PR decision to appease certain streamers after the Unheard Edition backlash, instead of game design decision. Disingenuous people call it a 'fix', when they made the plates comically large and unrealistic.
This tier list is incorrect its based on his opinion not armor stats
It would behoove you to not even try to repair the ceramic shit
Early on, class 5 or 6 is fine to repair once. It still provides a little better protection than class 4
what lol...? Makes absolutely zero sense to refuse to repair ceramic. When im running a Ghzel, Zhuk, or Killa armor and have a tier 6 in the front you bet im repairing it because the t6 plates for them are quite rare and hard to obtain, ive never ran into an issue repairing it if it gets shot down to 25/50 or something. Sure it doesnt repair well, and usually can only repair a certain amount, but you should still absolutely repair it if you can repair it to >50% of the starting value.
only critique is you shouldn't of put so much weight on the pockets of the rigs
Personal preference my man. This is 'my tier list' as I can't do one that takes into everyone's diverse view points.
I hated the new armor system at 1st now I think it's dope your armor class means a lot more
no slick?
In B tier.
Wish I could buy good armor. Woods main and don’t do quests. All the good stuff is locked behind degenerate quests and leveling up traders. It blows my mind people have that much free time to unlock all that shit 😂
One of the reasons I play pve only. No cheaters either. And no wipes
Quests are fun and force action
So you should make the title "my opinion on armor" instead of incorrectly labeling S tier armor as A tier
Every tier list video ever created is an opinion
@Airwingmarine not true 😂 there are opinions and then there are statistics. Just cause you don't like an armor or the way it looks doesn't mean it doesn't tank bullets
The Dr Kidinspect armor should be removed from the game.
They should change the name and maybe the color
Really wish they nerf the armor durability, hitboxes are great but people are too tanky now.
blunt throughput is the root of that issue
Fuck the armor... Fix the audio and cheating issues.
first
They broke armour so bad XDDDD It was perfect with new old system, and they messed it up XD
It was deff not perfect.... But this is the pendulum swinging to far for sure.
Really wish they just stole mechanics from mods, instead of trying and failing to do something.
