The 'Double Projectile' Bug has been stated to be fixed as of 12.6.7 However I havn't had a chance to check. Igolnik will now be 3 shots for every armour (not including frag)
Thanks vox really handy info any chance on doing tests for NATO rounds too ?
I'd say its a bug IMO
strongest ammo in the game lps gzh why are we arguing 5.45 cannot compete.
no round in the game beats lps gzh
The 2 hit 1 bullet has been around for ages (at the very least last wipe). I just assumed it was entry/exit fragmentation
Should report it friend
As a new player, this completely changes how I see ammo. I didn’t realize the difference was so dramatic and I was constantly wondering why people were dropping me in 2 hits when I couldn’t do the same. Thank you
Ammo>Fancy gun
Same bro
spend money on ammo...forget gun attachments, armor ect....
Ammo is everything in this game. Unlike other shooters, the gun itself is only relevant for base stats / modability and does nothing damagewise (at least until they implement barrel length). Don't cheap out on ammo.
@@jasonr.9520 that makes this game retarded
Sometimes at the end of raids i was getting almost double my hit count with certain ammo I used and have been confused, this explains a lot
nope, thats because you shoot through the arm and hit the chest or it fragments
Same, I remember I got out of woods once and it said "Ammo used: 1. Hit Count: 2." and i was like "uhhhhhh"
this also applies to shotguns, the ammo used is going to be 1 and say you used a 12 guage, most shells have anywheres from 8-12 pellets in them, and each individual pellet counts towards hitcount, so in the summary, if you were to have shot 1 time with a shotgun and everyhting hit, you may very well have anywheres between 8-12 hitcount. same goes for fragmentations, a fragment counts as 2 extra bullets, each bullet does an extra 25%, so in short, a frag bullet does 150% damage compared to a standard non fragmented round.
Died to Killa and the after raid report showed six colatterals from my left arm. I was hit 3 times by igolnik. For every round of igolnik that hit my arm it fragmented twice. What even happened?
I got double hits with SNB, super confused
You can bet if 5.45 is doing this then the other calibers are probably doing something similar. This might indicate a major issue with the core coding for ballistics.
Heres the thing, this game is about shooting things with bullets. If those bullets are broken it breaks the core reason for playing the game.
BSG need to get all over data like this and do their own foot work to boot where they can spawn things ad nauseam for testing.
Well done Vox mate
The fact that the most fundamental feature in an FPS (bullet damage calculation) works in such incomprehensible and weird ways, its infuriating.
I seriously don't understand the reasoning that makes them not want to disclose the code behind it, especially since it's full of hidden stats that require datamining to be (partially) understood.
@@v0ldy54 the main reason they do such things is so so the players have to figure it out
@@MilesHoppus I'm sorry but that's dumb.
It's IMPOSSIBLE to understand how gun damage works in this game by playing normally, there are too many hidden variables, and even after the datamining many mechanics are fundamentally broken like fragmentation, armor penetration etc.
doubt it, since it does not happen with lower tier ammo. i just went out and did some testing, for 5.45 it only happens on BS and 7n39
@@v0ldy54 well the idea is for the player to learn and discover these things rather than being handed the answer to everything and going straight to the best of everything, skipping the process of progressing
Good shit man always pumping out the good content
Been waiting for this since when you talked about this on stream
I hope this video gets a lot of attention from the community.
It really shows how broken bs and Igolnik is in current meta with what it seems to be a bug, people should know about it.
At the same time, a lot of the community will finally see how much of a good channel this is and hopefully ur channel grows significantly with this.
love ur vids man, helped me out a lot ever since I just started the game. keep up the good work
Nikita removed BS from prapor
Appreciate this. Been questioning a lot about 5.45 recently, this answers a few of them
This was a great video. I saw you go over it a bit during your 24 hr. stream. Honestly one of the better Tarkov streamers who are underrated.
So THAT'S why I get more hits than shots fired all the time.
due to fragmentation?
@@RotaruCosminLeonard Why did he consistently get two hits then? Is fragmentation bugged? The fragmentation chance in 7N39 is supposed to be 2% as it's all about armor pen. 🤣
@@Accuracy158 I have no ideea. I was multitasking and could not pay enough attention
@@Nazrel98 Wasnt the case in the video. They all looking straight up and hes shooting them in teh chest 1 tap at a time.

nope, thats because you shoot through the arm and hit the chest or it fragments
There was a point a week or two ago when 7n39 was actually the same price on the flea as BP
yeah cuz a week ago no one needed high pen armor cuz noone ran armor
and now the bs is 2x more expensive
@@lvic4 Because the barter trade was removed from Prapor.
This looks incredibly thorough to me. Nicely done.
This is the testing level of detail I would love on my software. Keep up the good work.
I am soo much looking forward to the "offline with friends" mode - I hope the feature will make it alot easier to do private testing and helping to report bugs.
Shoutouts to you and nofam for trying to fix the game!
I've been noticing this weird shit for a while, glad someone in the community has looked into it.
Dzięki za materiał vox_e!
What an awesome breakdown. I appreciate this video a ton.
Please test M995 and M855a1 and the rest
They just received changes today
@@101mattymatt What are the changes though?
@@bogdanpatru2742 google it if you want the exact numbers but M855 was slightly buffed in dmg and pen and M995 was slightly nerfed the same way
@@SwanChairUh M995 hasn't been nerfed. It has the same pen as before and its damage increased from 40 to 41. But this is the only difference I've noticed
@@bogdanpatru2742 LOL wtf are you looking at then. 995 got nerfed to 39 damage. it needs 3 bullets to thorax now unless it frags of course. literally look at NoFoodAfterMidnights google docs and everrything is there.
VoX_E out here with the big brains once again! Thanks for the great video my dude.
I was seriously hoping someone would do a video just like this yesterday-- thanks
Thx for the test and pls MOAR !
This whole game is broken
This whole game is also under development and bugs happen
@@mrsobelek well, they HAVE made a pretty good game, it just has its flaws..
@SharkTank well, a bullet doing damage twice is not nessisarily classified as a big mistake.
@SharkTank they will aknowledge it and fix it, it's a beta, cry somewhere else
oh boy now they "fixed" igolnik and all other bullets now have broken near 0 fragmentation chance again like last wipe, (meaning they just reverted everything)
call me when toddler call of duty mode is over
This was awesome man. Thanks for the video. I'm super new to tarkov and this helps me better understand the ammo.
YO this is really informative and well produced video. Thanks for the content
This explains a lot, ive recently been getting 1 tapped to thorax where on my end i only appear to be shot once but end game screen shows like 4 hits, been thinking i was getting 1 tapped to the head but it always shows 2 or 4 hits in my thorax when i only got hit once
Great recommendation after being gunned down on factory and interchange by chads with igolniks
This was really useful man, thanks for doing this
Thank you very much for this video, you have clarified many doubts!!!
You should test 5.45 PP as well, you can get it early from Prapor lvl 2 and it's really competitive with BP
So im a level 4 just bought it 7 days ago. can’t believe that I thought 7n39 was bad because it had lower damage and I sold all of it to buy ps rounds.
nice
You're very smart
don't worry - this is my third wipe and i'm only just now starting to dive into ammo/armor stats. 😆
@@SpaceMissile third wipe ?!!
@@th.m6718 I dabble here and there. I play a lot of different stuff
Would really love to see 9x19mm and 5.56x45mm videos done similarly. Thank you for the information and the content!
Quality Vid keep up the good work vox just here to help you out with the algorithm :)
well it stacks up to all the problems of this game good job dude well done testing.
Awesome video; deeply appreciate the time and effort placed in testing, editing, and even having the willpower to retest repeatedly to ensure your tests were valid. My question is did this only affect 7n39? And what if the bullet fragments? Does it only count as one hit with bonus damage or two with bonus damage (potentially allowing 7n39 to one shot through class 6).
It's possible this is due to tarkov's system of hitting multiple limbs being bugged for these rounds, so it's allowing two thorax strikes. I don't think it's an exit wound, as in many cases an exit wound is preferable to none (irl) to prevent internal damage, like the game's fragmentation system.
Anyway, spectacular video! Look forward to more content and a comment from Nikita.
can t one tap with igolnik imo. 37*2
Thanks for the video man. I like running 545 bullet ak because they’re really underrated in game.
Great video voxe. This appears to be a relatively game-breaking discovery, hopefully no one notices because of drops lawlz
thats the reason why are we have small amount of time to react.. I'm pissed! p.s. great work!
Hope someone submitted this to BSG.
yeah he probably did this shit ton of work and a 10m video about it but didn´t take the responsible action of forwarding this to the devs. sure
Fantastic work. Does explain a whole lot
amazing content as usual love the format comparing ammo and armor! seriously best way to do it.. a 7.62 version would be cool to see also as well as maybe mosin and m80 calibers also
**launches out of bed seeing this at 6am to buy every igolnik round I can off the market**
BS and BT no others needed unless we're talking about poor people ammo
7n39
I only use 7n39 because when you do finally encounter that slick plate carrier bs will kill a fraction slower and every millisecond counts in combat.
@@freddiet8639 liar
@@Jerry_Bean youre entitled to be wrong but ok.
@@freddiet8639 no I'm not liar
thanks you! really good video, i had to know this
Great research!
That’s why my bs ammo is so good
BS- BullShit ammo
this happens with snb too. The amount of time ive gotten 1 tapped by snb and it telling me ive been shot twice (mosling) despite only hearing one shot is insane.
Pretty sure with SNB its working as intended with fragmentation. There's always a chance for multiple hits with fragments, and I know that SNB doesnt do it 100% of the time like it does with 7n39 and BS here, so I'm pretty sure its just fragments
@@SomeDerpyGuy Irl snb won't go through level 5 armor. The armor in this game got nerfed drastically compared to what it used to be and compared to reality.
Maybe hit count is 2 when the bullet passes through body?, ie there are 2 bulletholes in your body. So hit count is the number of holes on your body(except asshole, mouth etc)
@@Turgz You say that like its universal, but for some ammo its the other way around. 855 and 855a1 is heavily underperforming in game compared to what it does IRL, so are helmets and faceshields. You wont find a faceshield IRL capable of stopping multiple round sof 855 like the altyn. Its a game. There's some stuff in there for balance reasons
Very interesting.
Love watching experiments in Tarkov
thanks dude it helped so much
And then you do 20 hits of Igolnik to two guys straight in their chests while in ambush. One guy falls dead, another kills you. GG, Nikita.
i feel like this extra damage has been happening for me on mosins too. I've been onetapping people in the chest with SNB while they wear armor but it doesnt even do as much damage as the thorax has hp ?
I heard SNBs frag chance is really high
SNB frags very well.
Very good find
Thanks, this is helping me a lot as a new player :) Appreciate the effort!
No problem! 🍻
this needs to be fixed i know it wont make every fight longer with this fixed but it would definatly open up doors to longer fights between players and we all know the chaos fights are da best
weird scavs seem to tank about 3 to 4 shots with 7n39 even tho most of them dont even wear armor
No flesh damage dummy use bs
@@xiopia3940 bruh did you not watch the video?
Maybe the issue is tied to either being a real player, or the need of having any armor on you. At times I feel like I can tank more bullets when I am without any armor at all when meeting the high tier ammo compared to when I have full armor against the same ammunition.
@@KentuckyFriedJohansson i know what you mean but then you get one tapped by CHAD scavs with m80 and buckshot :(
@@KentuckyFriedJohansson I suspect it's because rounds only fragment after hitting armor.
Fantastic project. You just earned a sub. Top-notch content.
great work man.
where's PP ammo?
Exactly. Does he not know PP is 30 pen and PS is 25 pen?
PP may only have 2 less pen than BP but that’s pretty significant as it has 1/2 the chance to pen lvl 4 than BP (~9-10% rather than BP’s 20%, which will significantly increase the kill time)
@@BooStairs the point was that PP is better than PS
@@BooStairs Yes but PP is also less than half the price of BP and goes clean through class 3. That's why it is my budget AK bullet over PS.
ThatUglyGuy just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s good. by halving the price, you also use double the bullets needed to kill
In real life 7n6 ammo cant be imported anymore to the U.S.(cause the atf hates freedom and common sense) but you can still get it for 20 cents a round.
Why would anyone need armour piecing rounds? Law enforcement service should be able to wear body armour and feel somewhat safe. They protect your freedom
@@studog7851 what if a home invader or an invading army invade or break in.
Everyone should be able to stop a threat even if they spent 300 bucks on armor
@@magustrigger9195 Yeah didn't think of that. I don't live in the USA though. Where I live no one has guns. Body armour just slows the criminals down in my country. Plus it makes it easier to hit a slower target with a cricket bat. Good luck living in fear mate, peace out.
@@studog7851 no fear just a reality of where I live. Body armor is as low as 150 bucks for ar500 class 3, 7n6 wont get through that unless your with in like 20 ft and you have a 21 inch rifle berral.
So the idea 7n6 is ap is a misnomer.
@@magustrigger9195 Fair enough
Good job on this research mate 💪
Hey it's out! glad to chat with you on stream that day
He really leaving out my boy pp ammo
PP > 7N39
@DijnX no
@DijnX Its BP but like 1/3 of the price
@@einfisch3891 how? It only 30 pen?
@@vgamedude12 and BP is 32, you gonna pay double for 2 more pen?
realistic milsim btw
look forward too more testing on this matter.
TY for this video! More interesting
I think fragmentation should just be removed. Unnecessary RNG
Soooo you’re saying something in Tarkov is broken or bugged? Crazy. Don’t tell bsg though because they’ll just say “ the games supposed to be difficult so get over it.” Nah fam, games fundamentally broken.
i.imgur.com/GdZ1UZW.png 7N1 does this had 3 kills that game 2 were headshots to scavs and one was a player shot one guy 4 times he just eats it....this games beyond fucking broken. love the part where im apparently in every potential twitch clip running head shot moving erradically headshot. I get headshot more in this game in 3 days then i did in a month playing CSGO during its peak lotta pro gamers in tarkov i guess
Dude i knew something was off with 545 GREAT JOB MAN! Liked And Subbed
At the moment, I stick with BT. It's still pretty early in the wipe so not many people will be running anything beyond class 4, and BS / 7N39 are both so much more expensive.
I really like this kind of testing, it really help me understand the power of different ammo type rather than someone just list a damage and penetration table. Would you also like to test 5.56?
Thanks for the effort.
Love the videos!!
I'm pretty sure the double bullet bug applies to some other ammos as well. Maybe not as consistent however. I've encountered a concerning high amount of one taps through brand new level 4 and 5 armors this wipe by SVDs (Not mosins, but hey, same round, might apply as well). Great vid!
I remember when this bug was in full swing and Pestily was still recommending BT over 7N39 because of the low flesh damage
Shoot in the heart and don't die, very good Nikita!
Great vid, i like the content.
is there a video that tests body armour in comparison of ceramic to other armour types?
thx that was useful!
nice job Nikita!
NICE VIDEO! Please continue :)
Good video! Would like to see every major caliber in the game.
Would be awesome, cuz what is better than an ammo chart on a paper! A real test! :D
Wow thank u for this video man this helps a lot becouse I am thinking something wrong with it I am sure not tested as u did thanks again
This really seems to only happen with players but i noticed it too, scavs seem to be much more forgiving (without implementing arm shots )
This could be due to the real life results on armored targets , by penetrating the armor the damage is increased due to the ballistic result in a human body and in a body without has an huge exit wound.
Love how this is the only game we’re damage is based on ammunition you use despite the guns that take it
Its doing it with all ammo types. ive run 9mm, 5.45, 5.56, 7.62x39/54r through a variety of weapons, and regularly get more hits than shots fired. i always though it was because i'm hitting an enemy from the side, going through their torso and then maybe their arm or something.
this explains a lot.
Great video, you might want to send your findings to the devs in case they are not aware of the bug
Very good video, pls do the armor helmets test !!!
That makes a lot of sense now, there were raids where Id get more hits but less ammo used on my AKs and I thought I mustve hit his arm and the bullet penetrated to his chest or something to that effect. Good to know that I should be way more afraid of igolnik rounds now lol
Do more armor tests. This is awesome
I really hope you bring this to Nikita's attention as this is very game breaking
Great finding with the bug bro
Holy crap that’s crazy!
Keep this up!!!
Well.... one has to consider, penetrating rounds have a copper jacket most of the time with a hardened core. The jacket usually departs from the core. Maybe that the reason it counts a double hit and not one
That explains a lot.
The wackyjacky101 of Tarkov. Good work
Amazing video
Nice, I know what I am using next.
awesome vid
I made a post asking why it was coming up as getting hit twice in the thorax when I was only getting shot once sometimes. The same thing happened with some of the bigger rifles as well. Hearing one shot go off, and I instantly die, then see it says two hits to the thorax. The only response I got was from people saying it was either a hacker, or it was counting as fragmentation
I'll take Igolnik 7n39 over any other round in the game. It's by far my fav.
Even level 3/4 armor absorbs some damage from high pen rounds, unless it's extremely high pen like over level 60.
