We have installed a technical update for #EscapefromTarkov.

Please download the update via the launcher. On updated servers, raid time may be reduced to 10 minutes.

PMC bot behavior adjustments in PvE ZONE:
● Reduced the distance at which PMC bots react to gunfire;
● Reduced the amount of time PMC bots spend in cover when reacting to gunfire;
● Reduced the amount of time PMC bots spend near points of interest while covering teammates when searching for loot.

Fixes:
● Fixed an issue that could cause Black Division bots to teleport in some cases;
● Fixed an issue that allowed the RShG-2 to be unloaded, which could cause a player to softlock during the raid;
● Fixed an issue that prevented the task "...for the Good of the Chosen" from being automatically accepted after completing the previous task.

Didn't realise BSG had changed the ZB-1013 extract to require a specific ZB key... found that out after killing reshala and his guards at fortress with 10min to go, dashing to turn the power on, get back with 4min and phat bag only to see BREACH.

No worries, RUAF is another extract closeby so popped a stim and chugged along... Ruaf isnt open and theres 2mins left. (Edit cheers for the comment letting me know ruaf is gone)

MIA

Give us the sharpest sword of the scav hordes. The mighty PMC Slayer.

Without fail every single time I spawn there it's either next to goons or there's a full squad of PMCs there. Coinflip if I load fast enough to duck or die before my screen even goes into the map.

This is the first time I have found lvl 6 plates on a PMC. All the lvl 4 slicks, zhuks etc have been junk and then this finally shows up just now. I thought maybe they couldn't spawn with lvl 6 but I guess it's still possible!

I have recently been going lighthouse to do quests and such and was wondering if it was better to actually challenge the chalets instead of going across the street? I just got hunted down by the goons when trying to evade and they shoot me through the bushes and trees. I was wondering if it was better to challenge the chalet instead of evade or snipe them from across, but is that doable since the latest patch?

I load in and headed for sniper rock to pick off saw mill. I ran up on a pmc and he about made me shit my pants with his voice line. He was hidden behind some brush and tree so I fired off one round. Ran back, threw a nade, no more voice line - found him and his buddy laid out.

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new and was wondering when Tarkov typically rolls out a Halloween event. I'm not sure when it has been rolled out in previous years and was hoping a seasoned player might know. Thank you, appreciate your time.

I have always played this game alone finally convinced my brother to get it, i have seen a few posts about people getting banned saying it was after they dropped a new player a bunch of stuff is that true? Is it just some items they dont want you giving away?

Finally reached Prestige 3

Now grinding for Prestige 4

Guys I am stuck on this step. Any youtube video I watch the camp looks different than the one that I am finding. Across the road from resort, just on top of that hill. Did this task change?

I just wanted to know if anyone wants to uhh play or whatever I don’t really play other maps apart from ground zero and interchange (cause I’m ass and too scared of other maps)

Tried repairing armor with a kit but it’s saying I don’t have lavatory 3

The second time i got no one marked room key out four times I opend that room
That's so disappointing when you think how rare it is to got one of those....

Literally the title, these all happened in the same 20 minutes of a recording clip even between restarting the game multiple times. It's been so bad for the last hour or two.

Put about 400 hrs in PvP and really didn't get anywhere. Loved the tasks/progression but I won't lie I've always had insane gear fear and honestly just terror when it comes to enemy PMCs (players).

Anyway I picked up PvE about a month ago and have been loving just being able to progress at my own pace and actually using to the decent kits that I'm able to put together. Hit level 25 the other day and WOW the game really opens up in terms of what gear/ammo/weapons you can use. I refused to run Streets a single time until today (mainly because a vast majority of my tasks were for this map). Been learning it today and wow... this map is genuinely awesome. I never touched it even once when I was on PvP either so today is legit my first time.

That's all. Just wanted to share idk why lol. Streets is dope and I wish I had tried this map out way sooner. Kaban is a scary mf tho only managed to fully wipe him and his guards once so far.

Hey y'all, after seeing multiple prestige threads and people mentioning they hit P4, I wanted to know how everyone else is finding prestige so far. What prestige are you guys at right now? Do you prefer to prestige to P2-P3 and then stop, or do you just keep going?

Im at P2 now hitting P3 today (waiting for Falling Skies and proper as i need to wait 3-5 hours between quests)

Does anyone know which drops qualify for PVE? I claimed day 2 drops and they only went to my PVP account (no seasonal). Does that mean day 1 drops are also PVP only? I heard some of them are PVE, but I don't want to claim them yet because I am close to prestiging.
