About this converter
Armor durability in Tarkov sets how many hits a vest absorbs before its class starts failing. The Slick leads at 200 durability with no movement penalty, which is why it costs most. Zhuk at 165 and Korund at 160 follow as heavy mid tier carriers. The 6B23-2 at 156 is a budget king because it takes class 4 plates. Class 5 cluster tight: Defender-2 and Gzhel at 120, Redut-T5 at 100, Hexgrid at 100 live. Class 4 drops lower: Trooper at 85, 6B13 at 80. Starter vests close the table: PACA at 50, Module-3M at 40. Durability pairs with material and blunt throughput. Aramid lasts, ceramic cracks fast, UHMWPE shrugs blunt.
How to use it
Pick two vests and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first vest, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the durability in points. Try 1 Slick against PACAs to compare top against starter.
Durability is max stock durability without plates counted twice. Hexgrid sources disagree: older wiki mirrors list 50 while TarkovForge live data lists 100. This table uses 100 and notes it. Plate durability sits in the plate pages, not here.
