@News The technical update installation in Escape from Tarkov is complete. Please download the update via the launcher.

@News @Updates We have started the installation of technical update for #EscapefromTarkov. The installation will take approximately 4 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will be unavailable during this time. ● Fixed an issue where players were unable to join a raid and remained on the raid drop countdown screen.

@News @Updates Tomorrow, June 16 at 8:00 AM BST / 3:00 AM EDT we are planning to install technical update for #EscapefromTarkov. The installation will take approximately 4 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will not be accessible during this period.

@News A quick reminder about various expansions available on the #EscapefromTarkov website and Steam page. https://tarkov.com/s/eft_expansions_discord_en You can purchase: ● In-game apparel sets for USEC and BEAR, with owners of The Unheard Edition being able to wear either. ● Access to PvE mode with persistent progression. ● Additional inventory lines for your stash. ● Unique PMC voiceover. Please pay attention to the purchase region when purchasing an expansion.

@News The global XP bonus is back - it's time to set new records on Icebreaker! This weekend, XP earned from raids in #EscapefromTarkov will be increased by 25% - both in PvP and PvE. This is a fixed value for all players and is applied instead of the edition bonus. The bonus will be available from June 12, 5:00 PM BST / 12:00 PM EST, to June 15, 11:00 AM BST / 6:00 AM EST.

@News Ref's expansion has ended in success, albeit a limited one. First, the smugglers' camp was brought under his control, and Arena fights are already being held there. Now, the EMERCOM base in the nature reserve has also been added to the roster, with final preparations nearing completion. However, the resistance put up by Jaeger's allies did not come without consequences. Conversion of dorms on Customs into a combat arena was significantly slowed, and Ref is unlikely to maintain a long-term presence at the newly secured locations. The "Tarkov Hospitality" event in #EscapefromTarkov has concluded. As a result, Base and EMERCOM are now available in #TarkovArena. The Dorms location will be unlocked later. The max number of player Scavs on Shoreline, Customs, and Woods has been restored to normal values.

@News TarCoins have recently started appearing in raids, and during the latest TarkovTV we discussed the Expansion Hub and the TarCoin currency, which we plan to add to the game. Today we’d like to explain in a bit more detail what this is all about. TarCoin is a new type of in-game currency that will be used exclusively within the Expansion Hub. TarCoins can currently be found in raids, and we have increased their spawn rate. Opening a marked room will not only bring a substantial profit to your PMC, but also bring you a step closer to purchasing your desired expansion! For a limited time, you can also list TarCoins with the ‘Found in a raid’ status on the Flea Market – trade them for valuable loot, earn in-game rubles, and help other players acquire this coveted currency! The ability to trade on the Flea Market is temporary and will end when the Expansion Hub launches.

@News @Updates We have installed a technical update for #EscapefromTarkov. The game will not be stopped, but on updated servers, raid time may be reduced to 10 minutes. ● Increased the time it takes for Rogues to spot an enemy; ● Black Division will now spread out more evenly when moving towards players before spotting them in the engine room; ● The Wedge boss will now deploy more gas grenade tripwires; ● Black Division will now use grenades more frequently in the engine room and on the helipad; ● Fixed an issue where Knight boss could enter the deck through a door; ● Fixed an issue where Black Division would not move towards the player in the engine room and would remain stationary.

Recently we have rebalanced the requirements for early Prestige levels. What Prestige level are you currently at? Share the screenshots of your stats in the ! YT: https://youtube.com/shorts/82ySSqnMh5o

@News We closely followed your reactions to the Streamer Challenge finale and saw how strongly part of the community was rooting for Magiik777. Throughout the entire tournament, Magiik777 and H4RD were neck and neck. Friends, teammates, and at the same time the main rivals of the Streamer Challenge, they traded the lead right up to the very end, finishing with only the slightest gap between them. We simply couldn't ignore such an incredible rivalry! We're happy to announce that Magiik777 will also receive their own streamer item in #EscapefromTarkov! Congratulations to H4RD and Magiik777 on one of the most exciting and intense finals in the tournament's history. And to all participants, thank you for the great gameplay, sportsmanship, and determination to win.
