We have started the installation of update 1.3.0.0 for #EscapefromTarkov. The installation will take between 5 and 7 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will be unavailable during this time. Changes: ● New Halloween in-game event; ● Switched the in-game weather season to fall; ● Changed the colliders of certain items in the Currency and Valuables categories to make them easier to find and pick up during raids; ● Added high-difficulty PMC bots to PvE Zone. They can spawn on high-level locations; ● Added new Hideout customization sets to the Expansion Hub: ● Your Own Celestial Empire; ● Once Upon a Time in Tarkov. Other themed Hideout customization options will become available in upcoming updates. Balance changes: ● Adjusted the leveling mechanics for the Metabolism skill. Skill progression is now calculated based on the amount of energy or hydration restored; ● Significantly increased the leveling speed of all skills in Seasonal mode; ● Balanced the effect of diminishing returns on skill progression calculations; ● Increased the lifetime of tripwires placed by players. Fixes: ● Fixed an incorrect calculation of the chance for Partisan to spawn in raids without bad PMC karma players; ● Fixed an issue that could prevent magazines from being loaded or unloaded after a weapon malfunction; ● Fixed an incorrect field of view when using certain optics; ● Fixed incorrect breathing volume for certain PMC voices; ● Fixed various visual issues with geometry and colliders on Icebreaker, Interchange, and Shoreline; ● Fixed an issue that prevented some players from accessing traders’ interactive scenes; ● Fixed an issue that caused PMC bots to behave incorrectly in certain cases.
