23x75mm Shrap-10 buckshot: 87 damage (8 pellets per shot) 11 penetration.23x75mm Zvezda flashbang round: 0 damage 0 penetration (it's just a flashbang).If you are goofing off though, you might as well go all-in with the high-damage but wildly inaccurate Devastator slugs. Unfortunately, it’s pretty bad and you probably shouldn’t use it outside of Scav raids. 20x70 Devastator slug: 198 damage 5 penetrationĢ0x70 shotgun ammo is currently only used by the TOZ shotgun.Slugs also pack enough punch to one-shot players with a thorax hit, if they can get through the target’s armor.

12 gauge shotguns aren’t exactly meta, but buckshot to the legs can still be very lethal. More commonly known as 12 gauge, 12x70mm is used by most shotguns in Tarkov.

All stats here are sourced from the official Escape From Tarkov Wiki. If you’re just looking for some of the best overall ammo types, the best ammo calibers in Escape From Tarkov patch 12.12.30 are 7.62x51, 7.62x39. Now we’ll go through the best ammo of every caliber in Escape From Tarkov. Guns over 90% durability are extremely unlikely to malfunction, so stay on top of repairs to mitigate this. Generally, armor-piercing rounds drain your weapon’s durability faster and have a higher chance to cause malfunctions. These are stats inherent to your gun that can be affected by your ammo choice. The effect is modest in most cases, but you may still feel the impact.Īmmo types also have modifiers to weapon durability and malfunction chance. These stats are set by the weapon itself, but high-powered rounds tend to increase recoil and reduce accuracy. Some ammo also affects the recoil and accuracy of your gun. Most barrels and muzzle attachments have an impact on muzzle velocity. Your gun and its attachments may have bullet velocity modifiers that affect this stat. A faster bullet requires less lead against distant, moving targets, and less compensation for bullet drop. Muzzle velocity determines the travel speed and arc of your shot.

Other ammo stats have some interplay with your gun and its attachments. Generally, high-penetration rounds also have better armor damage and will shred durability faster. A round that bounces off of an armor piece will deal far less damage. This is also affected by the armor's material. Essentially, a bullet that pierces armor will deal that percentage of its damage to the armor’s durability. Against level 3 armor, however, most hits will deal closer to 45 damage.Įach ammo type also has an armor damage percentage value. So, our 50 damage 35 penetration bullet from the previous example will lose little to no damage when punching through level 1 armor. There is a bit of randomness in how much damage is lost, and the range of outcomes depends on the penetration chance of the hit. Penetrating through armor also reduces the damage a bullet does. Penetration chance also increases as armor durability drops, so that same round will have a better chance against level 5 armor that is at 50% or lower durability. So, a bullet with 50 damage and 35 penetration will do well against level 3 armor, but struggle to penetrate level 5 and 6 armor. An easy rule of thumb is that an ammo type will be effective against armor of level equal to the bullet’s penetration divided by ten, rounded down. Armor in Tarkov is divided into levels 1-6, with level 6 being the toughest to get through. This is where we have to get into a bit of math.Ī higher penetration value means an ammo type can penetrate higher-level armor. Penetration is a bullet’s ability to penetrate body armor and helmets. Damage is mostly self-explanatory this is how much damage a bullet will deal to the body part it hits. The most important ammo stats are damage and penetration, neither of which are affected by your gun. There are several types of rounds in each caliber, each with its own stats.

Instead, damage is tied to each individual ammo type. Unlike most shooters, damage in Escape From Tarkov is not determined by the gun you are using. Watch on YouTube Escape From Tarkov ammo stats explained
