@News An in-game event has started in #EscapefromTarkov. Ref needs Factory to hold Arena fights - and he intends to achieve this goal by any means necessary. A cleanup crew led by Killa and Tagilla is already on site to eliminate anyone who is disrupting the show. You can challenge them on daytime Factory, in both PvP and PvE Zone. Scav access to the location and transiting there are temporarily restricted. The event will run until May 4, 6:00 AM BST / 01:00 EST

Based on the community feedback from ETS server we have made adjustments to the aiming system: we will continue looking for players feedback and making changes as the testing goes. Please restart the game for the changes to apply.

@News ETS testing is back! ETS is now open to all game owners, including Steam users. With the start of this phase, the NDA has been fully lifted. You are free to share screenshots, record videos, stream, and openly discuss new features with the community. This new testing iteration includes: ● **Transition to a new Unity engine version** to improve stability and performance, as well as enable new features in future updates. ● **A rework of the aiming system**. Our goal is to make shooting mechanics more realistic and immersive, while finding the right balance between weapon behavior and control comfort, so every shot feels fair and effective. ● **Updates to data storage systems**: improvements to how player profile data is handled, such as trader standing, PMC skill levels, and weapon mastery. We invite everyone to join the testing and share feedback [on Discord](https://discord.gg/UFeFZ9tK9Q), as well as through the feedback form in the #EscapefromTarkov launcher. Please note that the number of servers in some regions is limited, which may result in longer matchmaking times. We are aware that users may encounter an error when submitting feedback via the feedback form in the launcher, and we are already working on a fix.
