The PMM rounds are great too, but are not compatible with Kedr SMGs. We’re not including weapons that can only take one type of ammo like the TOZ-106, as there’s really no other option. Here we break down the best Tarkov ammo to use for each type so you can head into each raid with confidence. With other factors like armour class, leg meta, and whether your target has a visor or not to consider when taking a gun fight, sometimes it’s just easier to know the best ammo types in Tarkov and get to work. Those with little experience using real firearms already have plenty of hurdles to overcome in Escape from Tarkov, with most guns boasting over ten different components, so struggling to choose between all the different ammo types being sold across the several vendors is understandable.įor those Tarkov veterans who have run countless successful raids, there’s still room for improvement by learning which ammo does the best damage against thick armour, flesh, and anything in between.

With nearly 80 Escape from Tarkov ammo types for players to wrap their heads around, it’s not hard to see how tricky it is for new players to figure out what ammo to buy for each magazine, let alone what ammo is best suited for certain scenarios.
