Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best ammo in Tarkov?

It depends on the caliber your gun fires. The chart ranks every round by penetration tier: S tier rounds (55+ penetration) are the only ones with a real chance against class 5 and 6 armor, while F tier is only good against unarmored targets. Find your caliber, then read the C1-C6 columns to see what each round actually beats.

What do the C1-C6 columns mean?

They are the six armor classes in Escape from Tarkov. The color in each cell shows how reliably that round penetrates that armor class: green means it goes through consistently, yellow is a coin flip, and red means the armor wins.

How much penetration do I need to beat class 4 or class 5 armor?

A good rule of thumb is penetration of at least 10 above the armor class times 10. So a round needs roughly 50+ penetration to consistently beat class 4 armor and 60+ to beat class 5.

Should I pick high damage or high penetration?

Penetration matters against armored PMCs, damage matters against unarmored targets. High-damage low-pen rounds work well against scavs and for leg shots, while armored fights are decided almost entirely by penetration.

Are the prices on this chart live?

Yes. Prices and availability come from live market data and refresh through the day, so what you see reflects the current wipe economy rather than a static table.
