ARMOR + HELMET GUIDE - WHICH TO USE & WHEN? | Escape from Tarkov | TweaK

Hello ladies and gentlemen, how are you doing? This is Tweek, again with another video, so today I'm going to go over the

armor

because I keep getting asked about this all the time. It's pretty simple, so in this video I'm just going to break it down. Get it down real quick, we'll check out the traders and I'll show you what I know

when

I'm at level 1 to 20 20 30 30 40 etc. and I will explain the reasoning behind the

armor

I use. and the armors that I don't use and the armors that I think are a waste of money and the armors that I think are a complete trap, the complete newbie trap, so let's get into it and the first thing I'll cover is

helmet

s, okay, the only

helmet

you should wear at the beginning of the game is these, you can even wear them after level 40, this helmet right here for 18K is a bargain, the deflection chance and bounce chance on this armor is insane for a helmet class 3. this thing has saved my life way more than 6 pieces, i have this helmet here, honestly you can use this final set.

I see people using this end game, this helmet is such a solid value for 18K that at the beginning of the game if there was a helmet you wanted to go out and buy and you don't have any visor helmet unlocked. Get this, never buy a cold compress. These things suck, they're absolutely terrible, they basically won't stop anything, so don't waste your money cold turkey. If the packs keep going, PACA 420k is pretty good, it'll save you against calves and other low caliber armor, but again, it's only class 2, so you might know it could mean the difference, you know, if you're naked and you have a pack. in it could mean the difference between living and dying in an early game scavenger or in a fight with someone else who has poor quality ammo, you know, it could save you, it's almost worth it to just not use my early game strategy, is what I What I'll do is go to the factory because the factory at the beginning of the game is full of players, calves, regular scavengers, other player spawns, guns, everything is fine, so what you want to do is poke around the factory and everything you want to do. is to check your scalp first, see if you have armor, if you have a MF UN on or a chorus or something, just abandon the raid, just save it, but if you can run around the factory, find a bunch of dead scavengers all over the place. place. that haven't been looted,

which

happens very very commonly, take a BP scab, take a piece of armor, equip it and then put as much armor as you can on the BP scab and then leave, it's a good way to collect troy zips .

MF UN choruses and stuff like that, so early in the game you can invest in the pocket if you want, but it's pretty unpredictable at this point in the game. I'd say the pack is almost useless because most players will have Hamel much better and it's only class two anyway, so now move on to level two Ragman, if you can get scopes for the LZ sh early in the game and you can get a decent piece of armor, this will save you a lot in the early game, what I usually do is rush. to level four peacekeeper and I'll just run quick empty advisors for a long time because it will save you from all the low caliber rounds before everyone has all the good ammo unlocked, so h LCS with scopes are worth it, it's just finding the visor is the hard part because I think it's just the peacekeeper that sells them.

We do a linked search in this filter by article. Can't? I set this up for merchants only. Yeah, here we go, so yeah, peacemaker and. This is, I believe, at peacekeeper level four, so if you can find the visor, use yes, please keep it level for three hundred and fifteen dollars for the initial game. These visors are worth it. You can get other visor tournaments from Rochelle as a bodyguard,

which

is usually where I got mine early in the game, so if you can kill a couple of her bodyguards, get yourself an Alton or even one of these helmets or is it this DLC or sorry zsh, these helmets are also awesome for early play and face shield.

It's also there for 18k, but you have to be level 30 to access this, so if you want to get your hands on these helmets early game, farming Rashanna is the way to do it, you can farm or follow up pretty easily with the Keter method . all you have to do is follow them into a room and just kill them one by one with the Keter, just shoot them in the legs and it's pretty easy to do so continue from there, other helmets with visors are good if you buy them. a score from OP using it without a visor, it really is a game.

It would not bother me. I think you're wasting your time. Simply run SSH and then go to level 4. You have your lock. Blocking is great. It is enough. It's expensive, sometimes it saves your life. I've realized recently that no matter what helmet I'm wearing, I get through it with a touch unless I'm wearing an Alton, so blocking depends on what your blocking is like. With it, mine is pretty terrible, but it's class 4. You know, it has a good bounce chance, just like the level 1, but as I know, it's just not like that, it just doesn't save me. as much as I used to, but that's what always happens

when

we get to this point in an early game cleanup.

Yeah sure, it's a good helmet if you can unlock one fast enough or you can collect a couple of them in lucky labs or under something. so it's probably worth keeping and using it instead of just selling it killer helmets the mask is all that no vision no hearing no good I really don't like rolling them at all The Altons are great The Altons are awesome reduce your hearing but at least At least you can see out of it and Alton's can be picked up pretty easily from Rachelle's guys, so it's pretty much all helmets covered.

I'm going to go straight to the peacekeeper, so yeah, down here we have the father, you know, the fuselage that everyone likes. run and exfils. I have used the exfils with the visors. Visors have very rarely saved me. I mean, I know it's only class 3, but it's the same as the other one, but it has a high bounce probability for me, it doesn't really. It seems to make some difference, the only way we will know if they are good is at the beginning of the wipe. You know, it will save you for the beginning of the game because of the high bounce probability it probably will, but at this point in the game. clean up or just everyone has monster ammo and everyone is using all the stuff in the game like all the ammo they are using flies through these hulls like butter so yeah I don't really recommend quick emptying the fuselages and all that other stuff of things.

For the early game, in my opinion, I think helmets are a total waste of money for the amount you invest in them compared to how many times they actually save your life. I think everyone should run without helmets, but that's just me. I mean, you might be very lucky with helmets and what they do for you, with the sole exception of, like the Alton, all the other helmets. It seems like I only get one touch. Maybe my friend saves me once or twice a day. helmet and if I die 10 times a day and spend, you know, $1,300 on the helmet and then $315 or $50 on the ears and then make the change for the chops and then the visor and all that other stuff, is that really the case? ?

It's worth running this every raid if he only saves you once or twice a day. You know that if you die ten times you probably won't get that money back. You know it's like a chance to save a load of three 400k, but. you know, more than 1/4 of that is how much you spend on the helmet. I still use them anyway just because the chat says when I don't wear headphones, but you can go back and see my vodkas and hummus just don't save me. I don't think there's any point in using them and I know the comments section will fill up, but that's an adjustment.

I use this helmet all the time and it saves me a million times a day. good for you, good for you, I'm proud of you, I'm happy that your helmets work for you, but not for me, I think they're a bit of a waste, so let's get back to the armor real quick, so yeah. We talked about the Packers, we talked about this helmet being probably the best one you can wear in the game, plus the cost versus cost versus efficiency of the Altan. I guess moving on to level 2, we have this armor that is class 3 and repairs terribly.

Overall, I would avoid this one if you are going to use class 3 armor. I would suggest running the MF UN and purchasing it from peacekeepers. It's about the same price as this except it repairs better and there really isn't much of a difference like there are more armor points yeah but I just don't think the repair factor with the other armor is worth it because you'll ruin it very fast compared to the MF UN, tak-tek trade. I mean, if you're farming, rush early, do it, if you have a bunch of gold tees hanging around, do it with the 6b2 flora armor, this might be fine for the early game, but I mean it's class 2 armor. probably not worth it, you know, spend the extra 13K and get an M fun from a peacemaker level tube.

This is usually my favorite armor. This is the one I use at the beginning of the game all the time. I'll just buy dollars and then. I'll just run this with the peacekeeper every raid, but you are, and then this armored platform here is also a very good class three, except it has 80 points of armor, obviously it also works as a platform, so the good thing about this is if damaged. or you want to trade it for someone else's, you can just drop it off in a raid, hide it in a corner, grab its armor, grab its gear and then you'll make a profit because you'll get it back the next day just by doing insurance.

Fraud, this armor is a pretty good armor class, but it only has 40 armor points. I think it's always worth looking for something that protects you a class higher than one thing to keep in mind, although this covers your chest and your stomach, this also covers your chest in your stomach, so the tactic only covers your chest, so you have to remember that with some of these armored platforms, some of them don't actually protect your stomach, so that's something to keep in mind while you're running them, but yeah. In my opinion, for the early game, once you get to Ragman level 2, these two armored outfits are really good for the price and you can just get rid of them and trade them for other people's armor.

Constantly build on your armor. The armor fight at the beginning of the game is the biggest. something to overcome early in the game, at least in my opinion, the weapons are kind of like what you can do on a scav road, you can go and grab a couple aks and then leave, you know, it's not very difficult get weapons. Armor is gold dust at the beginning of the game it's gold dust, the more armor you can accumulate the more money you can save, that's why I always tell people to use your armored search runs, you know, always get rid of your armor to take it, here's how The next day you will receive a free set of armor.

Do it as much as you can. Insurance fraud. As much as you can. Collect as much armor as you can at the beginning of the game. I prioritize it being pretty much number one and number two over the mission. Items would obviously be a little bit more important than picking up armor because you're trying to complete your missions quickly, but yeah, insurance fraud and then these two armors here are cool. The MF u n armor is great. I usually tend to prefer the MF u n because I don't know, I have this weird thing with game carriers where I don't really use them much, but there sure are solid options and then this chorus, a commercial chorus, is really good for the early game class 370 health. points armor points I'm sorry, but the problem is tar, cola milk and coffee.

You're more likely to find them in cars and stuff rather than going out of your way to look for coffee tar charcoal and milk charcoal, it's actually expensive because it's better. trading for the holodniuk coffee bag is also relatively expensive so I would rather find it in the scabs and then like I said about the helmets, Kimber's advisors can be very good with the Kimber visor, although there is something about it. It says it's class 3, which is the same as peacekeeper 1, but for some reason I've run this a lot early in the game and I get one much more covered through this visor than the one in the far 70s, though It says here, you know, class 3 armor, high bounce chance.

I've had very bad luck with the Kevlar face shield and the Kevlar helmet itself early in the game, so you understand this is up to you guys to decide if you want. I want to try this or not, maybe if you buy it from someone and don't end up buying it, maybe it's worth running, but for me, the Kevlar visor I haven't had the best luck with it, so normally I would sell it, but If you want to try it, do it and then here is the fara too. It's a class 3 helmet with a hundred points of armor that costs you 70K.

Don't waste your money. waste your money on something that doesn't cover your face and costs 70K. It's a total waste of money. Because I knowchange this also for two Plex? Both Plex are good for idiot visors if you can get them like or If you already have an addition that you can't repair, it has a big crack in the middle, you can use two Plex to exchange it for a new visor. Now we move on to level 3 peacemaker. This helmet is really cool. I ran it a lot. at the beginning of the game and it saved my life a lot it is very expensive it has many different parts the cover is just cosmetic this is the visor and then if you go to level 4 there is the neck guard and then that For the Vulcan, which is this helmet down here, which I'll talk about in a minute, but yeah, this helmet, if you can afford it early in the game, is pretty good.

I enjoyed using it, it was pretty good. I feel like you can hear better with that item and the high communication striker wouldn't waste your money on a visorless helmet specifically early in the game if you're going to buy a tall one. A communication striker, you're looking at an alarm or class 4 with a high bounce probability, so it's basically the same as a U-lock, except it's a little cheaper. You get a bit of appreciation for the old stat bonuses, but it's not. It's really a big deal, so the high communication forward is not about helmet but early game.

I would definitely prefer to use visors to save yourself from scabs and other players with low caliber weaponry, obviously there is this one here which is one of the best helmets in the early game once you get it. In that release number you unlocked the black one, you can buy a plate for 60K which is like the best helmet you could ever invest in. I keep saying early game, but as you know, mid game once you get your merchants to level 3. and you yourself are reaching level 30. I would always be investing in these items in almost every raid obviously, If you are going to do some gun racing, don't bring this helmet, but if you are going to bring out a full size gun. that's relatively expensive as ish is what you want to bring with you, the mask can empty quickly early in the game, yes this current point and cleaning is probably a complete waste of money, as is the case with most helmets, Except for the alton, which is the issue, I'm kind.

If you go here at this point, when you are at level 30, you can buy the Carazo personally. I like wearing this armor, I don't repair it very badly, but I've had a really cool experience, this cleaning specifically with this armor, people ask me like Oh, what armor do you wear? It is relatively economical. This one for 72k is an armor class, but it has 55 hit points. It's made of ceramic, which sucks, but I made a lot of budgets using this armor and this armor saved my life a ton. I definitely would. I recommend using this armor on the gazelle.

There's something about the gazelle that just hasn't treated me well, so I avoid it. I sell all the gazelles I get at the flea market, but this armor is amber class armor specifically if you've never made it. run it first try it this is like my II I don't know my sleeper armor or whatever people glaze over I really like this uh this one I never buy why would you when you could spend the next trip, you know, 6 or 7 K and , instead, he takes the floor, he has more health, they are the same class and this one has less movement speed disadvantage and he has - 9% ergonomics, this is - 5% ergonomics now just run just run this this one is better ok it's just better ok in my experience at least the same with this one this is just a different color now read us read on the armor it's awesome if you can afford it do it but don't drive either You went broke buying this it's 226K, It's class 5 armor, but it's actually very solid.

I read a lot at the beginning of the game, it's really very good, I really enjoyed this armor. I still use it to this day, in fact, it's my main one. The armor I use all the time is a class 5 armor. I never worked the last 6 armors, so reading is a very solid choice of 420K gazelle. You can use it if you want, it is a class 5 with 65 error points, but for me, personally, gazelle. It never really treated me well so I would rather use reading because reading has saved my butt more times than I can count and unfortunately gazelle just hasn't so in my opinion I feel like reader is better.

It will save you more consistently, but the gazelle you know, if you find it in a raid, do it or if you want to invest in it, you like it or it works well for you, then do it. 10 GP Coin Trades for Gen 4. HMK, as is often the case, let's check the flea market prices to find out if this is worth it for you. I wouldn't spend more than you know the price of a reading if that's what 10 GP coins add up to and then this for the glasses. and the visor may be worth it if you find a lot of those things, shampoo and/or get at the beginning of the game or what is this called again or they tell you about toxicity if you find a lot of shampoo and braces, use the AVS riggs The AVS rigs are amazing Man, they have tons of space, you can store two helmets in them. 70 our point class covers your chest and stomach which is awesome, so if you can get your hands on vs rigs, I highly recommend bringing nice tech rigs too. well, but it only covers your chest so that's something to keep in mind and then this deck that I talked about in my barter video, if you can get some of these, they're really awesome for Lutron because they have tons of space in them they have , it's such a big platform and it trades for three bottles of whiskey, so that's up to your discretion, check the whiskey prices at the flea market and see if it's worth it for you, but a class 4 armor with 25 slots is really very good. good for learning and then the TV Tedric TV dozens are pretty awesome.

Typically what I'll do is collect them in lab tests. Early game lab testing. What I will do is grab about two TV teams, ten of the assailants. If I'm lucky enough to find them, then I'll fill those platforms to the brim with as many stims and weapon attachments and all that other stuff I can find and then I'll sell them all and You'll hold on to the plate carrier because it's a really good class for armor, 85 points of life and they are also relatively easy to find in laboratories and there is also an exchange for them at level 4 or simply a direct purchase for them at level 4 Ragman this for 4 aquamarine balls is not worth aquamarine it is much more expensive than what is this deck worth 65 armor points 20 container size plus 4 armor I almost feel like conserving aquamarine is more important in the early game because you will use it to maintain your hydration and energy.

Aqua Maria is amazing early in the game and just to check it out, I'm just going to take a look at the prices above. I know they recently cost around 50k. they've gone up for that Oh, they've actually gone down in price, okay nevermind, I thought it was about 50 cages, so the Barry vacuum is selling for about 20k, so go ahead, that trade-off is totally worth it. I wish we had a graph sometimes of the flea market and we could see how the prices of items go up and down and stuff because I swear recently Murray aquamarine wasn't that cheap now, if this is of any use, aquamarine, which I guess That is, you could have just one.

Take out more Murray Aqua than you could trade for these, so if you save them after you've used most of the bottle, you can use them for this part of the trade, which is definitely worth moving on to level four, which we've already talked about. about the helmets a Vulcan and the visor 350 K for this helmet ah nah brother no way friend no way running Alton is much cheaper is much cheaper this helmet is not worth the time, do it, it is not good, the dog Tag swapping and Plex swapping are something I do for Alton visors.

I don't do the Alton exchange, although I only buy them at the flea market because Alton helmets are relatively cheap, like one hundred and twenty K for the helmet, then the visors are usually between thirty and fifty K, or so, so, In my opinion, the Alton helmets are probably the best item in the game if you don't mind sacrificing your hearing a little, locks, we talked about this before. Your locks are pretty good, they don't save me much, but I wear them all the time and you know other people, every time I shoot someone through the U-lock, it's like they have a full face. visor on that one is class ten so now the armor Zook the Zook this armor is amazing but it repairs terribly that's the main problem with this armor it repairs absolutely terribly it's a class six armor that covers your chest and stomach made of ceramic for two vases and three teapots, which is worth a lot.

I hope you have a lot of vases and teapots because if this gets zeroed like two times three, even the durability goes down, but yeah, as long as you can get this, you're going to want to bring it. an allison or something like that or something like that this armor is amazing. I really like the Zook also the tv-10 here 495k + 484 or sorry 85 points this is definitely worth it. The good thing about this is also that you can. It also fits two helmets in it, so when you're doing lab testing, I recommend bringing those because you can fit an extra hub, but because of the slots, if you don't bring as many magazines with you and it's just more storage space, more storage space works freely which is good so 95k is pretty reasonable the evade tactic and six chains is totally worth 10 level twenty dog ​​tags if you have level twenty dog ​​tags specifically this is worth it its up to you though I probably would if I collected dog tags. but remember once the level goes over 20 you get reduced value each time so then a skull and two gold chains for a total value of 18 make that trade whenever you can this is a good awesome deck to get swag now, Jen.

I don't like running Jen at max because it slows me down too much, it covers your arms and the reason I never wear armor that covers my arms is simply because for some reason raiders and scavengers like to zero out that armor . like Killa shot a laser into your arm. The scabby boss guards will shoot lasers at your arm. I would prefer my arm to just lock on and my armor not be destroyed because if you get shot in the arm a couple of times it will reset to zero very quickly. because of Raiders that's why I stopped wearing full protection armor and

tarkov

for one it makes you a lot slower and two for whatever reason.

Raiders and other scabs and eyes like to laser shoot your arms and when they do they are going to Block your arm anyway but while they block it they will demolish all your armor and then your armor will be completely worn out which is why I completely stopped to use the Gen 4 folds and in my opinion I don't think anyone should. Have you ever been running with front armor, it slows you down so much, it's so slow, it's class six armor with 75 hit points, yes, but it must be so good, no, it's terrible, the same with this samurai armor is horrible, never use this and it's Such a waste of money will get you killed more than it will save you because you won't be able to run away and you won't be able to move when people are fighting you.

I never recommend it if you are making memes. in Factory, yeah, do it, have fun, but like you have some serious rage that you want to survive, don't use force, don't use this reading 85, the full Gen 4 isn't that bad, but it's still pretty bad, yeah, like that what gene Four-fold forward armor and T Fives. I don't really recommend the Gen 4 assault now. I no longer use this for the exact same reason as the arm armor and I just don't think it's that good in my opinion. The best armors to use once you get past level 40 or once you get to at least level 3.

Ragman is the Gen 4 high mobility t5 holdout and I'll show it to you here real quick for those of you who haven't seen it. I said it before, so if any of you know who Killa is here, this is the armor I use exclusively. This is the armor that Killa uses. It is class 5 armor. It has very few movement speed modifiers. The same goes for the speed of rotation. ergonomics, in my opinion, is the best armor in the game. What I do is go to the flea market and write in conditions like I usually do. I think I usually like 80 80 percent and then we turn off our trades and then you can pick up this armor for about 190K up to 220K for almost full health.

Now for the reason I like wearing this armor and I will buy one here just to demonstrate it. just come on let's do like 30 to 100 so let's find one here that's a little worn out doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo this one's a little worn out so 29.4 out of 56 now you normally never want to repair a good one armor. pretend because it destroys it true, it really destroys the armor now by proportion here to repair I will sell like 26 points of armor you are looking at 23 K well you do it from the mechanic you are looking at 54 K now look how much thisThe bar down here moves when I switch between them, it doesn't really matter who you repair this armor with.

I always port this armor because if you get this armor and it starts with 60 HP, you might like it because the odds are you're going to survive maybe five six maybe seven eight raids with this same piece of armor even if it gets damaged. zero, each raid will only cost you, as you know, between a hundred and a hundred and forty K and armor repairs if you're always repairing with meaning or maybe a little more than uh if I was actually zeroed, but it costs very little to fully repair , armor degradation is the best in the game, you can practically buy them at the flea market from 180 to 210K it's much better than the OSH reading.

That's why this is the only armor I use. I even have a couple here. In fact, I also need to resupply, but yes, in my opinion, assassin armor is the best you can do. Get it, it's saved my life countless times if you're really looking for a good endgame armor that you want to wear all the time and that's relatively reasonably priced, assassin armor is really good and then save your trades for the shits and then save. Trade for Gen Form Skills or purchase Gen Form Skills for about the same price at the Flea Market. The reason John Fours are the price they are is because you can get them from the Raiders and people collect them and sell them. on the flea later so yeah in my opinion my general loadout on almost all raids is killer armor along with maybe an exfil helmet depending on how I feel or unu-lock with clark ports or an exfil with swords and then for raids where I'm pulling out really big things and I really don't want to die and I want to try to survive as best I can.

I always bring Alton with me, so yeah, I feel like we've gone over everything, so yeah, a quick recap on the super early game. I would always recommend using mfu wingers and these two carries played here are really awesome for early game givers. see if you can get a visor for an LCS age. I feel like these save you more consistently than the givers. I know it's weird of me to say this because they have the same stats and in theory they should be exactly the same, but that's just me. own personal experience I only base it on personal experience.

I'm not going to rely on the statistics of these helmets because in my opinion there are many other statistics and the information behind all of this changes the outcome of what happens when a bullet hits. so yes, Alton's are your best friends, scoped plates are the best value you can get early in the game once you complete the mission. I keep saying at the beginning of the game, but once you reach level 30 you unlock Ragman, always pick them up from the scab. us and gather grass wherever you can so yeah for lab runs and stuff you always use high level stuff or try to do cheap gun runs with a game carrier if you don't mind sacrificing the card if you just die instantly and then the Packers are up to you, you better buy a packer if you have absolutely nothing, a packer will save your life against calves and stuff, so yeah guys, it will be a boo to do it for me.

I keep getting asked like oh geez Mon cam I keep wondering what my favorite armors are one of the best armors you know what I should buy what I should wear I just wanted to post this and put all my points out there so you guys can see it and understand my reasoning as to why I use the things I make, guys, without further ado. That will do it for me. If you enjoyed the video, please be sure to like it. Leave it now.
