The new location will offer players combat in tight corridors and large open areas, but will also bring firefights above and below as multiple floors within the laboratory walls keep enemies together. There is also a new consumable called Stimulators which will increase player skills but at the cost of affecting hea

Developer Battlestate Games has stated that the hours after the update goes live, servers may experience overload, which can increase matching wait times and see network delays. However, they say there will be no wipe of saved d

For those unaware of the game, Escape From Tarkov was released all the way back in 2016 as an early-access title. Back then, it could never really find much traction, however, time and popularity with streamers meant that the game finally managed to find a wide audience. These days, it’s one of Twitch ’s biggest ga

Escape from Tarkov also has been graphically optimized with this new update and fixes some stuttering issues. There are also new quests available for you to take on. You’ll find most of the above equipment featured in the video below and they certainly look pretty g

Live streaming video games is an ever-changing landscape, with new games skyrocketing to the top only to be swiftly overtaken by another new game weeks later. Though incredibly popular and impactful games like Minecraft and Fortnite will remain near the top of the most watched games on platforms like Twitch, there are plenty of instances where games come out of nowhere and claimed the most viewed s

As mentioned before, Escape from Tarkov is currently dominating Twitch’s most viewed games list. However, the game is not just dominating Twitch, but is also seeing huge numbers on other streaming platforms like Mixer. While Twitch still has a firm grasp on the live streaming landscape, streaming platforms like Mixer and Facebook Gaming are slowly but surely building a solid foundation for themsel

To unlock Jaeger, players are going to need to do a few things in the world of Escape from Tarkov first. Right off the bat, players are going to need to level up their PMC to level 10. Additionally, players will need to complete the ‘Gunsmith – Part 1’ quest. This quest can fairly easily be completed through another NPC called the Mechanic. Players will need to have three Elite Plier items to barter for the MP133 shotgun. Mod the shotgun to the specifications for the quest and it’s compl

According to an interview from 2016, Buyanov has said Escape from Tarkov will be "a traditional, full-purchase," so players won't have to worry about any new content, equipment, or updates being hidden behind a paywall. A pretty surprising move considering this is the same developer that just a year ago took down YouTube videos en masse for being negative about Escape from Tarkov server Issues . So, how much will this full-purchase cost? There are currently a few editions available for pre-order on the official website. The Standard Edition costs $44.99 and comes with a few starter it

While the game provides plenty of action, role-playing, and loot drops , some players are worried that once the full game comes out it will be riddled with microtransactions, like so many other modern shooters. Coming as a surprise to many, Escape from Tarkov 's project lead Nikita Buyanov has said this will not be the c

Streaming Escape From Tarkov, the tactical first-person shooter that has been gaining traction on streaming platforms very recently, Dr DisRespect openly admitted to really enjoying the game, claiming "I'm not going to lie man, this game is kinda sick." He went onto further his praise for the title, stating "It's not the fastest game, we're not jumping out of vehicles, ponytail flapping in the wind, getting struck by lightning while we are AK-ing somebody, two-tapping them using proximity chat. I know it's not that type of violence, speed, and momentum, but there's a certain level of intensity and build-

The studio also teased what's in store for 2019 with new game mechanics such as offraid healing, character clothing customization, VOIP, and more weapons with a system to create and share weapon presets.

After finishing ‘Gunsmith – Part 1,’ another mission called ‘Introduction’ will be unlocked. This mission is the first step to unlocking Jaeger in Escape from Tarkov . The quest requires players to do a handful of things. First, players must find Jaeger’s camp on the ‘Woods’ map, collect his message, and extract from the m

Bucking the more common trend amongst many other AAA shooters, Buyanov and the rest of Battlestate Games seem confident that the full price of the game alone should be enough for the studio to turn a profit. Of course, this means the Russian studio will be relying entirely on initial sales of Escape from Tarkov . Despite it's current popularity with streamers like Dr DisRespect , the MMOFPS could end up getting overlooked by other shooters once the full game finally releases. If sales aren't high enough, it could mean significantly slower development of updates in the fut
