Best ammo in Escape from Tarkov

The 9x39 is a really good ammunition caliber, but previous wipes put 7.62 in favor. Thankfully, the latest meta allowed for this ammo to shine. It is pretty expensive, but you can craft it in big numbers.

PS 7.62x54

All 7.62 ammo, in general, is the best in the game. This is the best ammunition you’re able to buy directly, and it has enough penetration force to go through any armor.

This is the best time if you want to save money but also have a reliable weapon. The only flaw of .366 ammo is the severe limitations of the types of guns that use it.

M80 7.62X51

This is one of the budget monsters available early in the game. It’s cheap, reliable, and has plenty of penetration power that is always used against all armor types.

Most accessible ammo in Escape From Tarkov

The tier list above looks pretty intimidating with all the ammunition listed. However, the highest-tier ammo types are challenging to obtain, and there are very few of them. Most of the best rounds are not available by the Traders and are banned on the Flea Market, which is why we put down a short list of the best attainable ammunition in Escape From Tarkov. you’re able to find those ammo types reasonably easily during the gameplay or buy them in Flea Markets or from Traders.
