Is it worth using 5.45×39 mm HP?

In most cases, no. Low penetration makes it ineffective against most players.

Against which armor is HP effective?

Only against unarmored opponents. Even basic protection significantly reduces its damage.

Why is HP rarely used in the 5.45×39 mm caliber?

The main advantage of this caliber is good armor-piercing rounds. Using HP deprives the weapon of the ability to effectively combat armored targets.

Are there situations where HP can be useful?

Only in the very early stages of the game or against unarmored opponents. In all other cases, it's better to choose at least level 4 penetration rounds.

5.45×39 mm HP round

Description

The 5.45×39 mm HP cartridge is a level 1 ammunition with high base damage and extremely low penetration. It is designed to target unprotected enemies, but in practice, it is rarely used because most opponents enter raids with at least basic armor.

For the 5.45×39 mm caliber, such a cartridge seems particularly questionable. This caliber is often chosen for its good armor-piercing ammunition, so using a soft target round deprives it of its main advantage.
