ARMOR CHART

Every body armor, plate carrier, and armored rig in the game, all 97 of them: class, effective durability, materials, penalties, and live prices.

Reading the chart

Higher class stops hotter ammo: a round needs penetration around 10x the armor class to beat it reliably. Eff. Dur is durability divided by material destructibility, the real measure of how long armor lasts. Cross-reference any round on the ammo chart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best armor in Tarkov?

By protection class and effective durability, the current top armor is the 6B43 Zabralo-Sh body armor (EMR) (Class 6, 2720 effective durability). Best is situational though: higher class means more weight and bigger movement penalties, so many players run Class 4-5 for the mobility.

What does armor class mean in Tarkov?

Armor class 2 through 6 determines which rounds an armor reliably stops. As a rule of thumb, ammo needs penetration around 10x the armor class to punch through consistently. Check any round against every class on our ammo chart.

What is effective durability?

Effective durability is raw durability divided by the armor material's destructibility. It measures how much punishment armor absorbs before it stops protecting. This is why aramid soft armor with a modest durability number often outlasts ceramic plates.

Pick your plates, then pick the round that beats everyone else's on the ammo chart.
