Is Class 4 Armor Worth Using In Tarkov…



The armor system in Escape From Tarkov is incredibly complex and oftentimes misunderstood. One of the most common questions I get in tarkov is if it is worth running class 4 armor, especially as we get further into the wipe. In this video, we take a look at how class 4 armor stacks up against other armor classes and we discuss how we are supposed to view armor in Escape From Tarkov. Check it out!

  1. before watching im gunna say yes, class 4 is worth. i think of armour as more of a tool to deal with scavs/playerscavs and lower gear players, since any geared player will either be running ammo easily capable of penning class4/5 armours and wrecking class 6 armours, or they will be building for leg meta where armour has no relevance at all.

  2. Commenting before I watch.
    I treat level 4 armor as an anti-scav measure more than anything. I never really wear sub-5 unless I'm really not warmed up. The way I see it: level 4 body armor is almost like wearing nothing in fights against the majority of players.

    I use a ton of 7.62 BP and level 4 armor does nothing when fighting against me. People drop so fast.

    After I watched: I agree with you about a lot of what you say here but being that most the higher quality level 4 armor costs as much as a korund; it's not worth not buying a korund.

  3. My opinion about armor?
    Armor is there for when you are taken by surprise so that you survive the initial rain of bullets long enough to get in to cover, orient your self and turn the situation over so that you are the one forcing the opponent to react to you instead of the other way around.
    If you constantly rely on armor to get you through a fight, you are wasting cash, it is supposed to be there for when you screw up, not as a bullet soak.
    Grab a kedr, go in with only spare mags in your pocket and practice positioning, relocating , ambushing and counter ambushing, not to mention sniper hunting.

  4. Level 4 is fine. Not ideal. But i don't feel gimped running it when I do. Rather spend money on gun/silencer/ammo. The name of the game is DONT GET HIT.

    Unless youre sprinting around the middle of the mall or resort like a tard. level 4 is fine.

  5. I think “expensive” class 4 armor like the trooper/TV is useless. The Uley and 6B3TM repair horribly but they’re dirt cheap, never get looted, and will save you from a shotgun blast from a scav.

  6. I dont understand this game. Smg 15 feet from other pmc with level 3 armor using 6.3 ap. 14 shots to the chest and head 220 damage, 49 aromor damage. He was in a box looting . He gets out of the box and turns and kills me. I don't understand. I watch the replay over and over. What is wrong??? Don't want to be a rat all the time.

  7. It matters not if I can afford Hex and Altyns', it matters I can afford rounds to make them necessary. Make ammo much more scarce i.e. everyone can get ammo from the dealers but can only get a set amount a day and make people find ammo in raid to supplement. Do that and more people will use less expensive lower grade armors more as less people will have mags full of 5A1's and 7N31's at all times. It will also make the higher grade armor mean more overall then just being the "Standard" run around gear that everyone seems to do right now. Just my two cents

  8. This game really sucks for beginner players. Not saying to make it more casual but it's a bit overboard. All these armor that you have a slight chance of surviving with are super expensive and you have to put in a lot of time to get enough money to afford it. In a video game..
