In today's video we'll be discussing how upcoming changes to armor hitboxes and modular armor plates will affect the way that we think about ballistics and penetration in Tarkov.

When this feature will be added to the game exactly is still up for debate, but it's going to be one of the key game-changing features along with inertia, exfils, streets and other elements to be added before the game reaches version 1.0

However, once this gets implemented this will have a significant impact on the way that ballistics and gunfights play out, as it will critically change the performance of many weapons and ammunition types by adjusting the way that penetration effectively functions with the addition of gaps in armor.

This means that low pen rounds may still have a chance to hit armored hitboxes, as player protection will no longer cover the entirety of PMC hitboxes, adding another layer of complexity to the choices that we have to make in game when choosing our loadouts.
