What it is
EFT Ammo Builder (eft-ammo.com) is a loadout-building web app focused specifically on ammo: full ballistic stats (penetration, damage, fragmentation, recoil), per-weapon compatibility, and visual comparison between calibers. Also includes a gun builder and community-shared preset explorer. Free, no registration for basic use.
What problem it solves
In Tarkov, picking the wrong weapon for your ammo (or wrong ammo for your weapon) makes you lose raid after raid without understanding why. EFT Ammo Builder inverts the traditional flow: start with the ammo you want to shoot and the system shows you which weapons fire it, saving research time.
Differentiation
Versus Totov Builder (focused on the complete weapon with trader-level filters) and eft.monster (static ammo chart), EFT Ammo Builder mixes both approaches: ammo as entry point plus a builder to assemble the weapon around it. For ammo-first players, this is the most comfortable tool.
What people use it for
- Compare penetration between calibers before picking a weapon class for the wipe.
- See which weapons fire a specific ammo accessible at your trader level.
- Build simple loadouts with a lighter gun builder than Totov.
- Explore community presets to get inspired by popular builds.
Who this tool isn't for
If you want to calculate total loadout cost with strict trader progression filters, Totov Builder is superior. If you only need a fast-reference ammo chart without building anything, eft.monster is more direct. And if you need raw data without layout, tarkov.dev is the source.
How it's used in practice
- Visit eft-ammo.com.
- The home has an ammo search by caliber with stat filters.
- Click an ammo and it lists compatible weapons with visual preview.
- The builder lets you assemble the full loadout from the weapon page.
- The preset explorer shows popular community builds.
Honest limitations
- Less polished UI than Totov: effective but less visual refinement.
- English only: no localization.
- Simpler builder: doesn't have Totov's trader-progression filters.
- On-page ads: the free version has display ads.
