Escape From Tarkov

Escape From Tarkov has today launched its June 29 update across all platforms, bringing with it plenty of new things and fixes.

- Added rotations and tilts of the body when moving and sprinting. - Added slots for special items in the PMC inventory, in which you can put a compass and a rangefinder, a wi-fi camera, a marker, and other special items. - Updated the Airdrop mechanics – added 4 types of containers with unique contents (weapons, medicine, supplies, general purpose). Added countermeasure flares when flying in and dropping the container. - AMD Fidelity FX Super Resolution (FSR) – an image scaling technology in modern 3D games that allows you to increase performance with minimal loss in the quality of the final image. We are currently reworking this function and will re-enable it in the nearest updates. Before this change, the hearing radius increased by 0.7% and up to 35%. - The number of co-op servers may be limited under heavy loads. Shooting red signal flares will call in a plane with an airdrop to fly to the nearest possible location. - Bosses maintain contact with each other and with the other Rogues, however they don’t stick together and instead keep their positioning distances. - The bosses’ habitats are Lighthouse, Shoreline, Woods, and Customs. They do not stay in one place and instead wander through these locations all the time. With the checkbox unticked, all players will spawn like in the online mode; Birdeye maintains distance between him and the enemy, setting up ambushes and choosing positions with a clear line of sight to the area.

The latest update is here and it has a lot of new changes and additions for the game. The biggest highlight of this update though is the Escape from Tarkov wipe, which is a full reset of the game.

Escape from Tarkov patch 12.12.30 is live, bringing with it new content, a wipe, and more questions regarding Russian developer Battlestate's silence.

This is likely in response to the fact that when the war started, the in-game Tarkov economy, which is built on the Russian rouble, suffered a big hit. However, it's also true that Battlestate has, according to Ukrainian news platform Babel.ua, worked with the Russian military-industrial complex extensively in the past. The full Escape from Tarkov patch notes can be found here. Escape from Tarkov patch 12.12.30 also brings a whole host of animation tweaks and reworks, as well as new weapons like the MP-18 rifle and the SAG AK carbine. With this update, the Escape from Tarkov co-op mode finally launches (albeit only for players with the Edge of Darkness pre-order pack). Co-op raids work identically to online raids, but progress won't be saved and gear won't be lost on death. These bosses will contact one another and will assist each other in combat, too, so they should add a new level of challenge for thrill-seeking players.

Escape From Tarkov will expand the Lighthouse map, rework certain skills and add new weapons with the upcoming 0.12.12.30 patch.

It’s been confirmed there will be a wipe with the patch. If the bosses have moved to one of the maps, they will be absent on the others. There will be a wipe with the patch#EscapefromTarkov Check out the full patch notes here. According to the notes, whenever an enemy is detected by any of the bosses or rogues, information will be transmitted to everyone by radio. The game will not be accessible during this period.

Bosses help each other, use all available weapons, and are hostile to everyone: players of any faction, Scavs, and Raiders. They don’t communicate with the rest of the bosses and Fence, so they attack any enemy immediately. - Added three new bosses: the commanders of the ex-USEC PMC group known as Rogues. Bosses maintain contact with each other and with the other Rogues, however they don’t stick together and instead keep their positioning distances.

Hit Reload is a weekly column on everything first-person shooter. This week, 'Escape From Takov''s latest wipe is under the microscope.

For the next two weeks, that’s going to be a valid way to play and I’m intending to enjoy every second of it. Don’t be scared, right now the brutal city of Tarkov is the glittering land of opportunity. Worse, the joy of getting to loot one of the game’s rare boss scavs or even another player is diluted by the fact that anything you loot is probably just going to get flogged off to a vendor anyway, as you desperately try to keep track of both your spiralling ammo costs and sprawling stash. With each fresh start bringing a collection of new cosmetics, weapons and even game mechanics into play, it’s also a nice chance to try something new. I’m already glancing furtively at the clock to see when I can get away from the office to scurry around Tarkov’s collection of beautifully decrepit eastern European battlegrounds in hunt of a grenade, helmet or even a bottle of drain cleaner. For the hardened players, it’s because Tarkov with a ton of gear is fucking boring.

Escape From Tarkov's new content update is adding a big Lighthouse map expansion, half a dozen new weapons, AMD FSR, and offline co-op multiplayer.

It seems likely, then, that the newly announced Escape From Tarkov: Arena will launch before the dedicated offline co-op mode is fully developed. Escape From Tarkov is no stranger to massive, game-changing content updates that feature additions both surprising and not. Low-spec players will, however, be happy to hear that Tarkov now also supports AMD's FSR upscaler, though it doesn't seem to include FSR 2.0 support, specifically.
