A "Completely Serious" Armor Tier List | Escape From Tarkov 

Hey, the UN armor is pretty useful... for making splints.

You can use the UN armor if you wear a scav vest to cover up most of the armor.

I'd argue any tier 5 armor is currently at least B tier with the good ammo off the flea and all and I've never seen tagilla without his tier 6 rig. Never seen the strandhogg or whatever

Mostly agree with the entirety of this, well done, could I maybe suggest optics tier list for the next video? Unless you already had one planned

Thor (level 6) 420k from Ragman lvl 4 and its not very bad it has lower ergonomic reduction than the zabralo(green one)!

Hey, I'd like to recommend something for future tier lists; in my opinion you shouldn't go tier by tier, but rather some other category or even random, because I personally like to be surprised and guess a bit where you'd put certain items. When you go tier by tier that entire aspect is lessened after each tier and by the last few tiers we know too much and that is quite unfortunate. I'd like more if you talked about the things, pros, cons, and then slap 'em wherever you'd like.

You can buy that class 6 Thor armor for rubles. It's apparently part of the "Cheater's Kit of Choice", because the only people I've ever ran into wearing them were cheaters wearing it with Gilla's mask.

Scav's can spawn with Flechette, M62, 56A1/55A1, etc. TKM AP is the least of your worries

This man gave the UN is own spot

Howdy, loved the vídeo. Even that I prefer random tier itens, like the guns video. Not like F to S. But by you showing something and telling their spot on the list by random. Liked the video a lot anyways, keep the good work going. English is not my first language. Sorry any mistake

it's incredible how not one content creator takes blunt damage into account, like if the buff never happened. You will get killed through a paca with 12g and 20g slugs, 5.45ps, any .366, etc..even without penetration. I even got killed through a killa by 5.45 bp in a few shots, blunt damage only

The thing i love about watching your videos is that you keep urself very genuine , like c'mon .. u barely cut the recording man that's awesome ... keep it up .. keep it genuine , i swear i never played tarkov but tho i love it and love your videos for sure 👌🔥

The first armour on the E tier I found on a player thinking it was the level 5 version, immediately dumped on the ground realising what it was

Been waiting for this one, love your content

11:05 Thats the tagilla armor your mom says you have at home

actually unlucky dying to a scav head ears with a exfil because usually if u already pay 1300 dollars for exfil and faceshield u would also pay 30k for the ear protection which has the same protection as the faceshield lvl 3 and high ricochet but i get ur point last few day i ran zabralos and suddenly i get killed by nades multipile times xd

I don't play tarkov that much and I'm addicted to your tier lists! Keep it up man!

Glad to see that you have your priorities straight, and good luck man.

Speaking on the whole Ceramic debate. With BSG adding interchangeable plates I really hope they add in spall with steel. So, while you have better armor it also has a chance to injure or even kill you when it stops a round. Different carriers could have different level of spall protection too. That way, it increases the value of Ceramic armor plates.

Watching this makes me wanna play so badly, I have 600 hours in the game but I stopped playing regularly like 2 wipes ago. The furthest I've gotten was like level 36. But ever since then I just cannot bring myself to play this game. I still had gear fear and what not back then but sometimes I managed to overcome it and I got as far as I did as a result. But now I just can't do it. I've never had a wipe as good as that one. Just constant deaths from nowhere and for a while there was a blatant string of cheaters using an exploit for easy radar at the time. Completely killed my love for the game. Losing gear I can deal with, but it's my time being stolen with zero gain that makes me not wanna bother. But I still watch these videos since Tarkov is really fuckin close to my dream game I've always thought about since I was a kid. I play spTarkov sometimes but it just isn't the same

Keep them coming bro. Great content@!

Hey leviticus, thanks to you i am now waiting on my ssh-68 helmet to arrive in the mail. Thanks dude.

Peacekeeper has a barter for the first Thor armor, also the Ospreys and gen 4’s can spawn on Rouges in Lighthouse, and the “Tagilla Rig” that is tier 4 can also be found on Rouges

At 2:02, you stated this armor was hard to find, which is pretty funny considering the customs raid I went on right after this video I found that exact armor in a duffel bag in the lockups next to big red.

The genuinity of the character in this video is S tier.. Very well put together sir! Mostly agree with everything in here :)

Man I love this video format

Kirasa armor is honestly really decent imo. After the first few weeks of wipe most rounds still shred class 5/6. I use kirasa a lot because it has some of the lowest movement penalties, stops shotgun and low end smg/pistol rounds, is fairly cheap too. I just think it's a really well rounded armor that stops the things that most armors only have a chance of stopping anyways.

Been waiting for this a long time, glad it's finally here!

started playing EFT (escape from tarkov) and youre helping me out so, thank you im subbing

You can also find the Thor in hidden stashes, or on dead scav bodies

once you hit max strength you get no weight penalty from body armors (not armored rigs), so the heavy ones are super useful

Well done! Thanks for your work!

this may be the funniest thing ive seen in a long time. thank you =)

I will say that the fact the THOR body armor is so rare makes it terrible. But actually using it is amazing. Being a tier 6 it stops even M855A1, and it is a good bit lighter than the Russian Green counter part. I got the THOR armor once and it served me so well, it carried me through The Punisher Part 6, with 20 kills on factory (when that was a thing). Absolute dream, i only wish it was easier to get because it is a good armor.

For the zabralo ppl have been using it a lot more with lower class ammo being used more frequently alongside it being good for fighting cultists

ABOUT FUCKING TIME, FINALLY YOU CAME OUT WITH A NEW VIDEO

The Zhuk can be found in crates as well, found one on customs semi-recently the larger crate by the tedio tower on customs.

new sub . loving the vids

the thor ic armor you can buy off ragman after completing blood off war part 3 its pretty expensive and very heavy but its level 6 i guess i would put that shit in d

13:27 that scav might have been me. I died right after

Those early wipe armors also find use with those, that bought the game after the 2 weeks have passed from the wipe

Fun video, even if it is made as a joke, it's pretty accurate. When I started playing Tarkov way back when, I looked at armor with high regard, now ? It's a completely different story. I use most of the wipe tier 3-4 armors, when available and late wipe I'll go for the all mighty pakka. Late wipe armor becomes irrelevant due to ammo availability. So if I die? Ehh, If I kill someone on the other hand ? Much obliged for the kit donation, Hell, even scavs can be on the menu, if they have those tier 4 armors. PMC or scav they all go down the same when you have some good ammo.

I just want to point out how you do videos differently from everyone else. Love You, hope to see more tarkov geographic. Have a good day

I hope with the customizable plates and carriers that ceramic gets an upgrade. Ceramic plates are the single best armor for taking hits IRL. And I hope the plates are cheap enough that you're just replacing them instead of repairing them. Or repairing armor is just a thing of the past. The "Ars Arma... basically the Russian Tac-Tec" Bro don't you disrespect Crye and their CPC like that.

Great Vid. I got my Thor IC from scav case for moonshine. But its to heavy so it sits in the stash lol

The level 6 armors you listed in F tier are actually good if you have max strength and endurance. I kept watching and found more weird stuff. I'll just leave it at that haha.

Eagle Industries "MMAC" plate carrier (Ranger Green) its the only thing i wear ever, the barter is so cheap that i can't believe isn't nerfed yet. solid S+

Less than a minute in and disses the UN. Got my like and sub 😂

Man i love these tier lists

I found a zhuk-6a in a hidden stash when I started playing a few months ago. Used it for factory portion of delivery from the past.

I like this tier list. In my opinnion slick as well does the same thing I remember turning on power for ZB 013 extract and then I got killed by a scav with FUCKIN M61

Zabralo should be A teir. I ran a zabralo and altyn on factory to get my 15 svd kills and it made me invincible. I survived 8 raids in a row and completed the punisher using 1 kit. The zabralo weighs alot but makes you invincible.

Do you play tarkov?

the un gear being bright blue is like saying "im over here, shoot me!!!"

thank you know i know exactly what armour to run in order to stay meta. thanks you.

babe wake up, new leviticus upload

The UN armor gets too much hate for being blue, if you put a rig over it literally cant be seen

extract camping spots tier list when?

I hate how when the HMK came out, it was super cool because it was super light which was unprecedented with armour that you could run so far with armour above class 4. And now you got slicks and hexgrids that weigh nothing at class 6

I got a Thor IC from that dead body behind the train station. Its the one slightly outside the fence.

16:15 Because rats aren't just shoving it in one rig or every nook and cranny they have ON them, they utilize EVERY nook and cranny possible... even the more er- uncomfortable, places. Source: you don't want to know, my doctor knows just via prostate exam and he shudders in fear.

I understand what you mean by the scavs surrounding crackhouse. i was on it with my homie, and I got head naped by a scav sniper while wearing a ULACH and searching a dead scav in a room with only a window... the window, man. those sniper scavs be on some shit🤣 🤣 🤣

Now you need to do a Unarmored Rig tier video

I found the Thor IC as a scav in a pre-spawned scav body on reserve.

Nice content, ill watch it.

Osprey is for backpackless evac loot runs, Reserve sewer manhole for example. Only reason I'll get one, I can pull out its value in a raid and it usually comes back. Repairs better then ceramics but still kinda rough.

You can get the tier 4 osprey from peacekeeper level 3…. A little bit of this was inaccurate but still a good list. I also disagree with the f tier heavy armors. If you see someone with those armors on they are hard to kill

I am such a nerd for this thank you for showing me brother.

The MMAC is just a tacticool rat rig.

1:28 iphone notefication i thought it was mine ahahah

I didn't even know that Thor armor existed

I just got eft and I got the black concealed thor vest off a scav, full health with 2 lvl 4 plates in it. Currently my best armour paired with a ssh-68.

I mostly only really use ospreys for British Mil cosplay but the teir 5 is pretty ok. Both are ok early wipe storage for your stash but in the spawn/cost/ usefulness setting the teirs here seem fair given

14:38 scavs can have M61 in vepr hunter so you dont need armor

The protection quality Module armor tar bank=toilet paper Un=aluminium foil Paca=unhardened clay Green paca=bannana peel

Strandhogg rig is kinda situational its nice to have for those 40 rounders and 10 round Saiga mags

Once I found a thor armor in a stash at woods

No way you actually uploaded that’s crazy

funnily enough, the only time I've found another THOR IC, I got domed by a player scav

i love to use, tagilla rig, hexgrid and the new tasmanian since they have quite minimal movement, turning speed debuffs and low weight

Slick/Hex “I am immortal” *the Timmy with a default rip vector behind me*

The first armor in E tier I’ve found in a black armor box on lighthouse one time. Apart from that never seen it

I don’t even play the game (no gaming PC) but anything FPS I find fascinating so here I am watching.😂

Me knowing about the paca, that skier one, that one camo one, and the un one and being surprised by how much armor there is

What I hope is that that when they rework the armor system to have plates and whatnot that you will be able to find high tier plates (lvl 5,6) in weapon boxes which might balance out the disability of not purchasing high tier armor on the market

@leviticus, you forgot to mention in the PACA segment. M61 Vepr hunter scavs are back. XD

The heavy armor with bicep, thigh and groin protection is sweet.

I definitely agree with the assessment of UN gear

There's a BEAR outfit with blue sleeves and blue pants. With that and the UN armor, you can hide in places around Interchange like Tobias Funke.

flashlight tier list now ( completely serious ofcourse)

As a lower level player, I take every chance I get to use a level 5 Osprey, simply because they've saved my ass like 3 times, all from one single rig. I obviously can't easily get them, but when I do, I save them. They're worth the risk to get.

Aha, you missed the Killa Helmet/Masks/Altyn Fort chad with (whatever t6 gun you want normally an MP7 or a Saiga) on factory

i got the thor ic today in a airdrop on interchange. first time ive ever seen it

The thor ic I found on in a create on customs

im back to watch a completely serious video

I found one thor armor from "dead scav" thats under the playground on lighthouse

i found the thor ic in the bathtub in the cultist room with the dead guy on customs

I didnt even know the thor armor was in the game

You can occasionally buy the Thor IC from Fence if you're lucky

random question... if i have a armor with only 25 drublitly left can it still save me?
