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! 👋
