Escape From Tarkov

"3000 hours, 10 kd and he's so shit man" Nobody's ever described me better 🥲

Here's my current Kappa progress in Escape from Tarkov's current wipe (v0.15.0.0). So all of these quests must be complete before getting the Collector quest from Fence that rewards you with the largest in-game secure container and the DEADSKUL armband. In addition to that, you have to collect all the streamer items shown in this list. I currently have 31/39 of those. Probably the most difficult ones I've already found.👍 I was able to achieve it last wipe but let's see if I have enough time and motivation to grind it! #EscapeFromTarkov #Kappa #Collector #KappaContainer #DEADSKUL #BSG #BattleStateGames #EFT #wipe #StreamerItems

So, I've been playing the new wipe a little again in Escape From Tarkov. Couldn't resist the temptation even though BSG & Nikita have done some questionable decisions during the previous wipe. 🙄 It's been as fun as usual. Quite a few nice-to-have updates, such as the new boss Partisan (pictured), cultist circle in your hideout to receive useful items through sacrifice and the newly revamped factory map. ✨ This is the first time for me to try out the updated armor system and it feels better. A nice balance between the old "strong" armor system but with more variability. 👍 Still, I was one-tapped to armpit by the Partisan even though I haven't even decreased my karma by hiding in the bushes! 🤯 The point of him is that he hunts down campers that have continuously been hiding in the bushes. There's a separate karma system for that. 😆 So there is the armpit hitbox but I think it's much smaller than before. Factory seems quite fresh and more interesting with the new additions. It's less linear but still well-recognizable. I was able to kill Tagilla and found out he had a new Viibiin sneaker in his backpack. A new streamer item for Kappa container quest, Collector, I'd assume? 🤔 There's the marathon mode too, which allows you to travel directly between maps without going to hideout in-between. Apparently you're able to stash items in-between, but I haven't tried that mode yet. There are plenty of new quests for that mode only. That's pretty much it. Otherwise pretty similar stuff than before. I'll report back once I have more to say! 👋 #EscapeFromTarkov #EFT #BSG #BattleStateGames #Nikita #Trainfender #Wipe #Partisan #Armpit #WelcomeToTarkov #tarkoved (image credit: BattleState Games)

⚠️ Tarkov Profiles Wiped in Major Technical Malfunction ⚠️ Again, shit happens in the world of Tarkov. 💩 Escape from Tarkov players are reeling after a massive technical malfunction wiped out profiles across the globe. 😱 Battlestate Games confirmed that this isn’t part of any planned event or wipe—just an unexpected bug that’s left players locked out of the game and, for many, starting from scratch. Players are reporting their accounts being reset mid-raid, losing all progress, gear, and even years of stats. With the planned wipe coming soon, the community is urging Battlestate to hit the reset button early and move forward with the update. Battlestate has acknowledged the issue, stating: 📝 "As a result of a technical malfunction there was a loss of part of the game profiles data. It is not possible to restore profiles in a short period of time. All players whose profiles have been affected will receive proportional in-game compensation in a short period of time." Apparently, they do not consider it as massive disaster as it is because the wipe is nearing its end now in August (hopefully). 🫠 This is what user /u/Arabeska claimed to have received in Reddit earlier today with the following title "Holy f*** All skills maxed, reputation maxed and shitload of cash..." 🤯 #EscapeFromTarkov #GamingNews #Tarkov #GameUpdate #bug #disaster #bsg #battlestategames #eft #gamebreaking #wipeonthursday

Escape From Tarkov devs AKA BattleState Games are at it again! 💣🐛 The latest patch introduced a nice little bug where each raid that ends reduces your trader reputation. 🫠 I’m sure it’ll get hotfixed quickly, but still it sounds pretty nasty and might slow down progress of some new players quite a bit. It is apparently related to the new arms race event in which Peacekeeper and Prapor want you to bring them western weapons that scavs drop (which in turn is Unheard of *pun intended*). #Tarkov #BSG #EscapeFromTarkov #EFT #Bug #Patch #ArmsRace #Update #Prapor #Peacekeeper

Apparently you can soon be rewarded for reporting cheaters in Escape From Tarkov 🤔 It’s still unclear what the reward will be but it’s a change they’re introducing in patch 0.14.9.5. I wonder if it’s roubles, dollars, euros or just some random items with varying rarity or value. 💰 Or something entirely different. The only thing certain is that it’s possible to become a millionaire in no time if the number of cheaters is not going to go down in the upcoming patch. 😎 #EFT #escapefromtarkov #battlestategames #bsg #patch #cheaters

🚀 Exciting news for Escape From Tarkov fans! 🚀 The devs just teased an incredible rework of the Factory map, and it's shaping up to be a game-changer 🏭. In a sneak peek on X, game director Nikita Buyanov dropped two tantalizing screenshots. While not confirmed, it's clear this is the revamped Factory we’ve been waiting for, as it shares visual and spatial similarities with the current one. The new design features a dark, enclosed warehouse brimming with machinery. There’s a big dividing wall and multiple levels, much like the existing map, but with some significant upgrades. Expect to see big metal vats and plenty of smaller items, hinting at a focus on liquid production. The space looks more immersive and should breathe new life into the map 🌟. Despite the visual overhaul, the layout remains familiar with three levels: underground, main floor, and elevated walkways. This rework should make Factory more engaging, with lots to explore beyond quests and boss farming 🔧. ETA? Likely with the August wipe, alongside new hideout areas, weapons, and performance fixes. Fingers crossed for further improvements to the armor system, too! 🤞 Stay tuned for more! 🎮✨ #EscapeFromTarkov #BattleStateGames #EFT #Tarkov #Factory #Nikita #nikgeneburn #patch #update #upcoming

Escape From Tarkov released a new trailer: On the Edge of Darkness It seems to tease the release AKA version 1.0 of the game: "Long time no see. Where you been? So you went to the Arena, but you came back anyway, huh, champ? Yes, you've changed. But we've got a lot going on here, too. The conflict in Tarkov is heating up again. And there's no telling how it's gonna end. Looks like you're gonna have to show us again, what you're worth, fighter. The one who walks will master the road, am I right? And who knows? Perhaps you will be the one to find a way to escape from Tarkov." To me, it's a bit ironic how they are showing levolution and the like instead of just focusing on fixing the current issues within their code. For example, the sound system needs rework and Nikita of BattleState Games promised that there will be no new features before v1.0. I suppose new buyers for the game are needed. #EscapeFromTarkov #Release #EFT #Tarkov #Trailer #Prapor

Today Nikita was teasing about a new simplified armor system in Tarkov in his Twitter. 🤔 They seem to be larger than in the previous "armpit implementation", so I'm feeling hopeful. 👍 And I suppose it's a good sign that the development team acknowledges that there are issues with the armor system that are being improved. 🙂 https://x.com/nikgeneburn/status/1800166205325730132 #Tarkov #EFT #EscapeFromTarkov #ArmorRework #Hitboxes #Armpit #Nikita #nikgeneburn
