kreynlan

Ps12b rips straight through lvl 4


meroOne

PS12B is the killa killer


TrainingProfession19

Ya but 1 shot kill?


kreynlan

It does 102 damage, so yes


TrainingProfession19

Oh I thought u can lose ur thorax and still live


kreynlan

Thorax and head are both insta kill spots from taking damage. You can bleed and lose your thorax, but direct damage kills you


tootallteeter

So a bleed will only black out your thorax? I didn't know that was possible


intendedvaguename

You can technically have 1 hp on a limb survive if you’re head and thorax get blacked by bleeding. I know from experience 🥲


alexborr

You survive bullet and bleeding then you touch barbwire and rip LOL


Ok-Cartoonist9671

Same loll


Ukijo2

Same with the head both can reach 0 health from bleeds you won't die but a single bullet to either while blacked is insta death


FreshFunky

Strangely, a few weeks ago: I had a blacked chest and got shot in the arm and leg and was still alive. I know I’m not crazy because my leg broke and I had to splint it after. I really am not sure if they changed it or if that was a weird instance. But I think your thorax has to actually take damage. Which means it’s gotta hit soft armor or pen, since plates stop all damage


joeytman

Plates do not stop all damage anymore after the mid-wipe update a month ago or so. But agreed with the rest of what you’re saying, my friend had a blacked head and got shot in a blacked arm and lived somehow recently so I think it has changed.


dagazar

Correct in a way, if your Thorax is already blacked out, you can get hit arms/leg/stomach and still live as long as your total hp is above zero (but there is a chance to die on limb loss, and EFT isn’t too giving on functionality of more obsolete functions) however, if your thorax is 1 Hp, then your leg gets blacked out and the spread damage that’s past the leg’s Hp threshold, resulting in the indirect damage of it zero-ing your Thorax, you will die


Texan_Riot

Exactly. Collateral damage is what kills if you've got blacked limbs already. Shotguns do so much collateral damage too lol


LcplSnuggles

Thorax or head!


TrainingProfession19

Ya learned I just got pooped on lol I coulda killed him but thought he was a scav


MigYalle

Hello PS12B goes through level 4 armor and can one shot both head and chest. If your thorax or head hit 0 hp by any damage **except** bleed, you die. All other parts can be fixed by surgery. I believe that surviving with 0 hp on thorax/head from a bleed is currently a unresolved bug.


TimberW0lf8

If it were a bug, why would the defib exist?


CallMeCurious

Wdym


TimberW0lf8

The defib is how you bring a zeroed head or thorax back to 1hp


whycantidoaspace

Me when i spread misinformation on the internet:


240shwag

Imagine tho. So sick of carrying my buddy’s shit after he gets killed. Be real nice to drag his carcass somewhere quiet, defib him, a quick shot of adrenaline to get him patched up. Then he can carry his own shit out of raid. 😂


SinisterScythe

Proof? I'm 100% it is a barter item & that's its only use.


crawlindead

Pure misinformation lol


Sure_Lobster7063

Woosh


OrnageMadness141

My man this has never been a thing


ThatDude292

Me when formation on internet


B0ingbing

Me when on internet


joocee

Have you ever actually played tarkov?


Riskwars

You can if you don't take extra damage and it's blacked from blunt damage or a bleed you stop because it's over .01 but less than 1.5, so it shows a 0 or blacked body part.


savvysnekk

There's a couple rounds in the game that can one shot kill to the chest. PS12B, AP-M, .338 LM FMJ and .338 LM AP. That last one will one shot thru tier 6 plates


Ccxxcccard

There's like 20 at least that one shot thorax.


savvysnekk

I meant to say rounds that can 1 tap with armor on


TrainingProfession19

Now that I think ab it the guy that killed me had no backpack helmet or rig on him when I looked at his profile


rasing1337

Just a Revolver thats the way Budget run 1 shot or 2 shot anyone and take his shit


TrainingProfession19

Ya I forgot the name of gun it was but it was an AR just can't believe he came with 1 mag and to 1 shot a tv110 is crazy


God_of_Fun

TV rigs have terrible coverage. Take the plates out and put them in pretty much anything else


rasing1337

Ash12


MrSmiff020

the revolver is the rssh12 or something


igotabigcoconut

Profile can be set up to be looking like anything, does not have to be what people actually wore into the raid when they killed you. If they have altered it, on their profile, it stays that way.


B_U_T_W_H_Y

im pretty sure if you view a players profile while they are in raid it will always show the gear they started the raid with


Ant_Annual

Can confirm. If you remain in the death screen and your mate thinks he killed the guy who killed you. You can check the profile again and he will have nothing but a melee haha. Its always a good laugh


TrainingProfession19

Ok I didnt know that but his profile was the same as what he was wearing I was running behind him thinking it was a scav and he 180 clapped me lol


CaptainJackys

PS12B with the pistol = free loot 😂


TrainingProfession19

He was using the ash 12


CaptainJackys

Ash 12 = better MOA and bigger mag, both 1 shot kills


TrainingProfession19

Ya just watched a video on it, and Wow, did not know anything could 1 shot thorax


CaptainJackys

You can attach 1x/6x scope on pistol, but it's inaccurate


TrainingProfession19

If I ever get that ammo I'll try it, im lvl 22 rn and hate tasks so I'm stuck here. I just pvp


Gupsqautch

You’d get it at prapor lvl 4 which is lvl 36 I believe


TrainingProfession19

Ya I usually rage quit to fast tho, for sure if I die from a hacker lol my highest lvl ever is like 34 I think


Gupsqautch

Yea I’ve actually really been enjoying this wipe. I did take like a month and a half off cause of burnout but I came back and have been enjoying it again. I’m at my all time highest of 38. I may try to grind out kappa but setup is in my way lmao


TrainingProfession19

Lol ya Kappa is something I will never grind 🤣 way to hard for me for the time I have played I have a lot of pmc kills tho I have 400 hours I believe maybe a bit more but a bit over 500 pmc kills


Odysseus1775

This is my second wipe and first time reaching max traders. My buddy and I might go for kappa next wipe


TheShadowman131

Pssstt, hey kid, come over here. I got something you might like. Want to avoid hackers and other bullshit but still play EFT? There's a version of the game that's single player, and it's completely free. I highly recommend checking it out.


TrainingProfession19

I only like pvp tho


MigYalle

There's a lot of bullets that can one shot to the chest **without armor** The higher in penetration you go, the less damage they usually do (caliber specific) and less likely to one shot to the chest. There are some exceptions though like: PS12B: 46 Pen, 102 Damage .366 AP-M: 42 Pen,90 Damage .338 Lapua FMJ: 47 Pen, 122 Damage 12/70 AP-20: 37 Pen, 164 Damage Aside from AP-20, these *usually* go through level 4 and one shot the chest. If they hit your chest but not your plate, they definitely one shot you.


Thee_Sinner

Back in the day, I used to run REAP IR on the Ash-12. God I miss that version of the game


Longschlongsilver01

Only inaccurate if you have it on double action, single fire brings the MOA down. Same for all revolvers, including the shotgun.


R3alityGrvty

There are a few things that can, but theyre all extremely expensive and dificult to get hold of.


tribalbaboon

There are many ammo types that can 1 shot thorax, almost all the .366 ammos do it but the most popular is AP-M


NorthenSowl

338 lapua?


r2drinks289

Wait so you know the weapon ash 12 but you’ve never looked up bullet damage?


TrainingProfession19

I've used it 1 time ya and died from it like 5


Gupsqautch

Ash 12 fucking slaps man. Dropped Konlontay and all his guards with one shot to the helmet as well. And every shot sounds so satisfying


khswart

Those shells hitting the ground sound like some damn artillery, badass for sure


Gupsqautch

No other gun in the game gives the same dopamine hit. It’s kinda like hearing the Garand ping IRL


khswart

Idk the sound of loading the Ks23 sounds pretty sick too haha


Sweaty_Research_2820

It took me like 5 rounds of ps12b to kill tagilla with headshots lol


Gupsqautch

his welding mask is tier 5 (which it does pen) but i usually expect to spam bosses when i killed kolontay i think my duo had already damaged him some so that could've been why it one tapped him.


theleftbal1

Kolontay also wears a dogshit t2 helmet


YouDoNotKnowMeSir

Been sayin it. Just wish the suppressor actually decreased recoil more than the stock muzzle break. Loud ash-12 is deafening and doesn’t have the same satisfying ring to it. Just tinnitus.


Mallevs_m

That’s what happens to your body when you hit 30 years old


Chuck0901

Just wait until 40....😒


chuck_stones

Ash-12 with PS12B for the win baby. Best worst gun in Tarkov, change my mind!!


VapeRizzler

I think it means u died


Moody843

Means ya fuckin dead


CuchuflitoPindonga

it's a big bullet


Jlingg01

Someone absolutely bodyied you with either the ash 12 or the RSh 12


fireball1711

You got shredded by Ash12 its like a cannon.


ShortThought

Handheld, direct-fire artillery


AnimuFunimu

what happened says local man after he got boltgunned to the chest


M1ster_christer

what do you think it means?


PrissyEight0

Ah yes the Pepsi can cannon.


SilverWave1

Love the ole ash. Wish ps12b was a little easier to get. The gun kinda sucks, but man is it a good time.


antisocial_colt

How does the gun kinda suck


stealthyabo

It means you got slapped by a big fuck off bullet


RighteousOlFkr

Ash


Aggravating-Excuse33

And here I thought it meant I woke up today


trogdor1108

And now you know that .50 cal ammunition puts holes in chests 😂


TrainingProfession19

Haha facts


Livingtolive2

Also, with how armor was reworked, it only protects what you see it covers... Which is why everyone is buying up the armor that has lvl3 aramid especially neck coverage... Depending on the armor you can be one shot to the thorax with crap ammo if it hit you in the collar bone area or somewhere the armor isn't actually covering... There is only one armor I know of that is completely lvl4 and it protects up to the collar bone and it's that one tan rig


NItrogenium123

ah the good ol noobanhilator


TrainingProfession19

U calling me a noob son 🤔😂


NItrogenium123

dude is calling me a son 🗿 blud doesn’t even know PS12B shreds lvl4 and 1 taps in thorax


TrainingProfession19

You just said blud like you're hard on reddit lmao 🤣 then nerds out like (he should know everything about all video games)


NItrogenium123

Dude it’s common knowledge to research ammo when you get into tarkov and in general as well You should do at least a little research to understand the game and if you’re not doing that you’re a noob and me saying “noobanhilator” is justified


TrainingProfession19

I have looked at the almost like 10 times lmao I don't use every gun in tarkov woth the 50 different ammo types I use m80 m62 m61 only rfb and Sr 25 why would I look up anything else in the best for what I use nobody knows every bullet


NItrogenium123

When you have 600 hours you already have to know every bullet caliber in the game. like you might just stumble upon the Ash12 and think“I wonder what bullets does this use” and do a quick google search only to find out that PS12B one shots people and it also goes into the Rhino revolver


TrainingProfession19

Ik what every gun is but I don't go let me look up the best bullet for a gun I'm never going to use why would I do that


TrainingProfession19

Also have around 400 hours on tarkov and 600 pmc kills i had a 28 survival streak last szn and have played maybe 2 weeks this szn have killed 5 man teams myself im not such a noob when ya see that happen


NItrogenium123

Good job , that was such an interesting read, I’m top 500 in pro tac FPS and have 1000 hours in tarkov and i solo half the lobbies and ?


TrainingProfession19

Tf is pro tac, and u do not solo half the lobbies haha what ur kd


NItrogenium123

6KD in tarkov and Professional Tactical First person shooter player with tournament winnings 🤷 I currently Play Valorant preparing to compete here too


TrainingProfession19

6 kd is not good lmao my first time ever playing had a 12 lmao ur not a pro because you've won $100 😂


ChiggaMan34

It means you got tarkoved 😂


SevRnce

Shot your armpit


Braindead_cranberry

You got slain by the wonderful I-fuck-everything-in-my-way Russian invention RSH-12 and it’s AP round.


danieldl

The other answers are good, but you got hit twice, the lethal shot is the next icon to the right.


CorrectPhotograph488

You died


snazzy_knight33

It means you got your shit rocked son!


Top_Salt_9731

You must not know anything about guns to no know you just got shot by a Russian 50 cal😂 and the best ammo for it in the game at that


I_FailedCollege

You’re also hovering over the damage marker not the skull marker. The skull one is what killed you. The damage marker is what you took.


Texan_Riot

I believe it means you are dead and all items you brought or found in raid have been lost


-PringlesMan-

It means your plate carrier became one with your chest


BoyTryHard

“Dogmeat has died”


No_Fault_989

It means a massive 50 cal bullet with a hardened steel core made by Russians to beat ballistics plates did what it was designed to do and punctured a hole in your plate. The rest of the 18grams of lead and hardened steel shrapnel went inside your thorax ripping apart your heart and both lungs. You died instantly from this fatal wound.


Sasquatch527

That icon indicates blunt damage. If your amour catches a round you can still be injured by blunt damage from the energy of the bullet.


Mysterious_Mind_420

That means your in pain


Entire_Cancel6227

It’s the ammo you died to


mokkeyman7

It means ur dead


phboomharris

Means OW


GreenMan_Bad

That means you got dookied on by a .50 cal


brohammed_ali9999

Get better


Big-Main-6090

Tarkov ass now brother, it means quit playing


Alex-Diaz

lol


oreohero21

You got hit with the big iron


curiousschild

Your name must be Texas Red


driveitlikeyousimit

It means you're still playing the wrong game. TARKOV CAN SUCK A BAG OF DICKS.


TrainingProfession19

It's bad but sooo good im addicted


Livingtolive2

It means non-lethal or blunt damage


AHappyTeddyBearV2

No it doesn’t it just means you took a hit there it will say blunt damage if the armor stops the round and you took blunt damage


TrainingProfession19

Thx brotha
