Why The Ash-12 Doesn’t Always One Shot PMCs
1,604Ever wondered if the ASh-12 can one tap PMCs to the thorax wearing Class 5? Today we run down the ASh-12 vs armor, along with the ammo and builds that make it work - and you might be surprised to find out how cheap it ends up being once you have the right trader levels for it!
All the ammo for this weapon does over 100 starting damage, which is really quite incredible when you compare it against other rounds in Tarkov, and the best round PS12B is now more accessible than it has been before. This is because it switched with 762 BP to be locked behind Punisher 5, where previously it was the reward for Grenadier.
However, there are some interesting ballistic effects - especially around damage mitigation on the higher tier armors that we look into in this video.
