How the six squares are worked out Penetration in Tarkov is a per-hit simulation that takes armour durability into account, so it does not reduce honestly to one number. What the squares show is how far a round’s penetration power sits from the threshold for each class — roughly class × 10. It orders ammo the way it actually feels in a raid, but treat it as a guide, not a promise. The underlying numbers in the table are exact.
