What is your favorite armor to run this wipe?

Something the game also doesn't tell you is that wearing the Dr. D armor vest gives you a bonus to your Violence, Speed, and Momentum stats.

Kirasa is blue So best to paie it with the white shirt from ragman and the tan ulach to really show drip

i really disagree with the green uley, i was buying for like 50 to 60k and i know its only aramid but the actual coverage of the lvl 4 is way bigger than any plate. it did wonders for me, the only downside was limited rig space

I love the edit that shows what spot your talking about super ez to understand keep it up❤

Top notch, as always. This did help me thanks Jesse 👍🏻

My biggest issue this wipe related to the armor change is the "shot in armpit". Had this happen several times by scavs while running, I dont want them to be potatoes but it seems kind of busted.

The reason a slick is so expensive on flea is because ragman buys them with no plates for like 155-160k depending on the color, I really wish they would make them buyable for cheap from level 4 ragman, its not even a good armor tbh

Would love to similar a similar video about the next step up in armors.

Great video definitely helpful!

Stoked to be able to rock the goon plate carriers off flea once I get some plates unlocked.

I already know this is going to be a great video

Re: Uley rigs - when you mouse over them, they read "insert and plate;" does that not mean they have both a plate and soft armor under them? If not, that's pretty ambiguously-worded.

Regarding plates: Durability and effective durability are very different things in tarkov. You have to reference the material coefficient to be able to compare headline durability.

The 6b13 on rag 2 is quest locked. Should mention that

Hey Jesse. Thank you for the video. It could be useful to have time stamps for each trader level so that we can return to the video and find it easily if we forget what to buy, like for level 1 traders, watch here, etc. It would be awesome to see helmets too. More guides, please!

I like the green Ulley, that class 4 all over bar the neck has saved me a couple of times. The problem with the plates is it gives you a false sense of protection. If someone sprays your torso and it misses the plate and hits the armpit/collarbone you can get one shot of through class 2 soft armour They need to redo the hit boxes so those areas take half damage imo because you aren't dying to a collarbone shot, maybe an armpit if it goes into the torso..

I can't prove it but it feels like all of the lower level armors offer more protection. It has made the early wipe much more enjoyable.

That green level 4 uley rig is actually great because its the only one that doesnt allow you to get one shot by apm 366

Bro thanks im no longer completly lost when getting armor thx 🙏

fence has been a godsend for while slogging through the first few levels

I found a spot on Shoreline where you can make the entire fence disappear on your side and still shoot through it and see players on the other side. I'd love for a bigger content creator to showcase it or send it to BSG to get it patched!

annnnd now the price of kirasa’s will be through the roof😂 ‘twas bound to happen eventually. Very solid video and good info!😊

The Uleys clearly say 'aramid and ceramic plates'. They aren't just soft armor. Granted, they share a durability pool, which makes them innately less desirable than removable plates. But they are still viable and cover more compared to plate carriers

Why don’t I have the Thor barter at Ragman two? Is it quest locked?

I get tap to thorax by scav like 4 times,(always by sks ) its making impossible to extract in some instance

As a casual PACA enjoyer I find this video fascinating.

What's the name of the outro song? Sounds like pretty chill DnB

The uley isnt terrible I like to grab it if I find it on a scav and I have room

For new/returning players Can you equip found plates mid raid?

Does anyone what quest gives access to the m1 rig barter trade now? The wiki hasnt updated it yet. The one for aquamari and kvass

Did BSG remove the concept of material destructability, thus making the durability directly comparable?

Informed!

I honestly feel this video is a bit backwards, armors with plates feel like paper and armors with just aramid are absolute tanks. I’m lvl 50 and I’ve been field testing zabalos, korunds, reduts and more, but tier 5 plates no matter what seem to never protect me and I usually just get 2 tapped by ps, but when I wear rat rigs, as long as they don’t pen the tier 4 you can actually tank shots. Just in my Past 2 deaths btw: zabralo 2 tapped by lps in thorax, osprey tier 5 2 tapped by ps 7.62x39. The one thing I will say is plates are very good against bosses as they will usually aim dead center

ALGUNA ARMADURA DE BUENA CALIDAD? DA IGUAL EL PRECIO, NECESITO CALIDAD EN ARMADURA

What the music on the video?

Also. The green uley is goated. Only armor in the game with L4 soft armor on your whole body besides neck. When you can only buy class 4 plates until high level, it's a fair argument to make other than blunt damage, the uley has the same if not better protection than a korasa with L4 plates. And the Uley on the flee regularly goes for 40k. 40k L4 armor, or 50k for a korasa and spend another 60k on L4 plates. Just seems silly.

gen4 high mobility will be go to late wipe for players with max str who arent bothered by weight barder only for 6 GP coins and it have high collar then redut-M and or defender-2 they are all barder available and use same armour plates unlike gzhel/zhuk flee only and specific plates

i cant buy the NFM Thor and the 6B13 from Ragman lv2 .... did that get changed or do i overlook something here? ^^

Press armor is where its at. Side and chest plates, with soft neck.....i run lvl 4 platts in it.

I've always liked the Thor, I'm a Thor Hipster.

I'm lvl 53 I used to run the ospreys and defenders, but now I just run pacas. Pointless buying good armour to continuously get 1 tapped by all ammo types to the chest.

Hexatech HPC Black. Looks sick af. Die to raiders 1 tapping me with a head-eyes shot anyways.

Me: buys armour, head, eyes

thanks now everyone is gunna pick up my class 6 kirasa ......... :P

I meant best armor in the game goes for 100-200k Max Early mornings 100k later in the day/night 200k

make a video about the best regardless of the price

I can't find the thor at trader lvl 2?

the best armor is 6b5, crazy how a lvl 1 can run that armor and tank 5 shots of .338 AP. 6b5 Uley on top till they figure out wtf bullets react to armor.

it all seems SO INCONSISTANT to me.

Honestly this wipe has been my best wipe overall. Been hitting rogues hard as scav and getting great armor rigs and decent weapons. Let me save alot of money on gear and has let me use those rubles for keys and hideout gear.

❤️🔥🔥🙌🏻🔥🔥❤️

That's okay level 4's still getting 1 tapped with 7.62×39us so thats fun 👍

Those rigs have very poor protection, lots of unarmoured spots. What you see is essentiallly what you get now

Plates durability is not that important, you basically want to have UHMWPE plates even thou they have less durability.

Thanks for the video man, dr. Disrespect needs your help! Take him under your wing, make him rich and show him the ropes a bit please😂. I’d love to see him keep playing Tarkov but at this rate it’s not looking good…

Another video about armor 😢

You missed a lot of important armor selections pre-level 15. There is actually an entire meta gaming behind pre 15 regarding armor. The best armor pre-15 is actually the MF-UNTAR body armor which gives you class 3 protection in your stomach, thorax, back, and sides for just 2 max energy drink. Since it's so easy to obtain, the devs balanced it by giving it huge penalties. If the penalties are too great, the next best alternative is the BNTI Zhuk body armor (Press) which has class 2 neck and side protection. You can easily craft this armor once you unlocked the lavatory level 1. You only need to find a Grand Juice to barter for the plate and Vita juice for the slickers which are then bartered for the scav vests which are then used to craft the material needed for the lavatory craft. That's two armor pieces you can craft/barter just by looting food. There is an entire meta game pre 15 and I have 100 hours into the game biding my time and I'm only level 12.

i think you really missed the mark with the green uley rig, tier 4 everywhere is so much better than a plate that covers center chest only with lvl 2 on the outsides.

Woooooooooo

you're completely wrong about the 6B5-15. Sure its soft armor, no plates, but its still lvl4 and stops the same rounds as the lvl 4 plates. the difference is it covers the entire front chest instead of just the small area of the plate. Much larger lvl 4 coverage than the rigs with plates.

I get that the armor stuff is confusing and new but you should have given this one more thought. Some of your takes here just dont make any sense.

Lol, the flea is nothing but scams right now. Pretty indicative of the main player base mindset. Tarkov attracts the worst ppl...

this bloke dun't know what iz talken abowt. Use RAC headset with Troopermask helmet (meks you invisibul) run redut or defender. ez as fok m8. then grab any gun u wont preferably a nato gun cus other guns r four puscies... An den jus click on de eds m8. Ez fokkin pz.

Wish I had that much free time to be a level 41 omg go talk to a women brother
