• Escape From Tarkov Updated Bullet Damage

Battlestate Games announces the upcoming release of a big update 0.11 for the closed beta version of its multiplayer online FPS Escape from Tarkov and shows a new trailer, dedicated to the new features. The developers have specifically noted that in the first hours after the update, game servers may experience overload leading to possible increase of matching wait time and occasional network.

In today’s Devblog#3, which was live streamed on Twitch, Nikita stated by himself that Battlestate Games are going very deep in detecting cheating gameplay. Before or with the next update 0.12, which will most likely be the engine upgrade to Unity 2018, there will be a reporting system in-game.

This will allow players to report strange encounters, for which they believe it is a word about cheaters. Nikita, the CEO of Battlestate Games has also stated that programming a cheat and anti-cheat is a very advanced process, and thorough support throughout the same is very much needed. The Report system is here to help the developers determine suspicious players quicker. However, the new anti-cheat code will be much more advanced than this one, and will just receive a little boost by the new Reporting System.

The saltiness and toxicity caused by hackers are about to be resolved, as the developers behind Escape From Tarkov are doing an exceptional job to deal with it. Throughout the Dev Blog, the new map Streets of Tarkov has also been discovered, for which many players believe it will be the next best map in the game.

However, first thing’s first. The upgrade to Unity 2018 is at a point of no return. To transition smoothly the developers have to deal with all of the challenges. Nikita confirmed the transition is going smoothly despite some encounters of obsolete scripts that should be addressed as well.

After the Unity 2018 upgrade, the game is meant to improve the performance by quite a lot, as new premises are going to be introduced in the form of tools. Escape From Tarkov is still one of the most unique and realistic video game in the world. A game like never seen before, and most likely a game that has been quite a while in a Closed Beta.

New Items and Features

New items will also be added with the 0.12 update, as well as a Surgery Kit, P90, .50 BMG weapons and more. Skills system will also work differently, but one feature will surely take place into the heart of newcomers but also veterans in Escape From Tarkov. There will be a feature to create some sort of Loadouts that will cover various Weapons Builds created by players themselves.

They will also serve to easily equip a pre-made Weapon Build, despite the fact if you’re missing the right mods or not. The items to choose during the creation of the build will be taken from the HANDBOOK, which keeps track of all the examined items in the game. That will contribute to a much easier Weapon Modifications, and once completed, players can assemble it. If the mods are missing in the player’s inventory, the player will be taken to the market to purchase all the missing mods and equip them on the Weapon.

This will also save players a lot of time, and Raid preparation will be a lot easier. Thus, less prepare time, more game time. Something players were looking for and finally received. You can take a look at the feature, as well as other leaks that were discovered today. Below is the full DevBlog.

The priority is very simple and Battlestate Games is focusing to develop the promised content. With a ban ratio of 100+- cheaters per day, EFT slowly becomes a vital game to enjoy playing. The upcoming changes noted in patch 0.12 aren’t that prominent at this rate of bans.

If you’re eager to try out EFT but still doubting whether or not should you buy it, check out our article and note some of the highlights stated in it.

Escape From Tarkov Updated Bullet Damage

Battlestate Games’ first-person shooter, Escape from Tarkov, finally reached version 0.11. The game’s latest update adds tons of content, including a new map, new weapons, new equipment, new consumables and much more.

TerraGroup Labs, the new map, is based under the city of Tarkov, acting as a a secret underground facility. Another addition is a new Scav boss, Killa, equipped with all the necessities to be considered as a “very dangerous enemy.” Not only that, more than 100 new items were added to Escape from Tarkov, ranging from weapons and their respective attachments, to new equipment, like body armor, tactical vests, helmets and NVGs, and consumables. Here is a brief description of everything patch 0.11 brings to the game.

As TerraGroup Labs is considered to be closed, it has special types of extractions. New mechanics imply the need to meet certain conditions for the activation of the extraction. It is possible to activate extractions more covertly, discreetly, thereby reducing the chances of detection by Raiders, or loud, what will lead to activation of Laboratory announcement systems and will attract Raiders to the source of the noise.

Killa has good equipment, wearing heavy armor and hand-customized helmet. He is a very dangerous enemy. He uses a light machine gun or other automatic weapons to suppress the enemy while lurking from cover to cover, getting closer to his target for the final push. During the assault he moves in zig-zag manner, uses grenades, suppresses few enemies with the fire of his weapon, plants smoke cover on one enemy while attacking the other. Well, it’s going to be a tough fight to get him killed. By the way, he considers PMC’s and Scavs as his enemies.

With this patch we added lots of new quests for all traders and more than 100 new items: weapons and attachments like RPK-16, Remington 700 and some variations of Mosin rifle; melee weapons: knives and hatchets, ice axe and machete, tactical sword and entrenching tool; new equipment like body armor, tactical vests, helmets and NVGs. I want to highlight the fact, that it will be impossible to pick up a melee weapon from dead PMC’s now.

In other news, Escape from Tarkov is being adapted into a fictional book series, where the official translation of the first book can be expected as early as March or April of 2018 in the West.

Escape from Tarkov is out now for PC. You can check out the patch trailer below.
