About Bullet Penetration in BattleBit

In the chaotic, large-scale battles of BattleBit Remastered, understanding your environment is just as important as your aim. One of the most critical mechanics to master is **bullet penetration**. Unlike many arcade shooters, the bullets in BattleBit can tear through softer materials, allowing you to suppress and eliminate enemies even when they think they're safe behind cover. However, not all bullets are created equal, and not all cover is the same. A high-caliber round from a sniper rifle can punch through a wooden wall with ease, while a pistol round will barely make a scratch. Knowing what you can and can't shoot through is a massive tactical advantage. This calculator is designed to be your personal field guide, taking the guesswork out of the equation. It helps you instantly see if your weapon's caliber is strong enough to penetrate a specific type of cover, turning you into a smarter, more effective soldier.

How to Use the Calculator

Figuring out your penetration capabilities is a quick and easy process:

1. Select Your Weapon Caliber: Choose the general category of the weapon you're using from the dropdown menu. This determines the penetration power of your bullets.
2. Select the Surface Material: Choose the type of cover you're trying to shoot through, like Wood, Brick, or Concrete.
3. See the Result Instantly: The calculator will immediately update to show you whether your bullet will penetrate that surface. It also gives you an estimate of the damage your bullet will retain after passing through, and the visualizer will show the bullet either stopping at the wall or passing through it.

Tips for Effective Wall Banging

• LMGs are King:** Light Machine Guns (LMGs) typically use "Heavy" caliber rounds and are fantastic for suppressing enemies behind weaker cover like wooden walls or sheet metal.
• Don't Waste Your Ammo:** As this calculator will show you, trying to shoot through thick brick or concrete with anything less than a sniper rifle is usually a waste of time and ammunition. It's better to reposition.
• Damage is Reduced:** Remember that even when your bullet penetrates, it loses a significant amount of its damage. It might take several more shots to kill an enemy through a wall than it would in the open.
• Listen for Hitmarkers:** The best way to know if you're hitting someone through a wall is to listen for the audio cue of your bullets connecting. If you hear it, keep firing!
