The latest Escape from Tarkov patch has seen some positive changes. Find out what changes have been made in patch 0.12.12.
A huge number of players around the world who play Escape from Tarkov are looking forward to the moment when the game is developed to the end. Although the release of the game took place more than 5 years ago, the game is still under development.
Because of this, players face various difficulties such as resetting. They have to start over when the game has a new patch. Nevertheless, the game captures users so much that they are ready to put up with such challenges.
The game has received several patches, the latest being 0.12.12. There have been some changes in this patch that every player needs to be aware of. We will talk about how the new patch differs from patch 0.12.11.
Trade
Since the beginning, each player has had a great opportunity to acquire various items, as well as the necessary weapons. They could do this at the flea market in Escape from Tarkov. Players can purchase everything they need from other players or exchange goods with them using in-game currency.
At that time, the flea market was available to players who had reached level 10. It could be achieved by playing for only 1-2 days. Then it was easy to sell goods that players found in raids.
The advantage of the flea market is that weaker players could make money quickly, which is important for many. However, the lack of an in-game currency is not the end of the world, since each player can buy rubles Tarkov, as well as access new weapons at the flea market, and other bonuses.
Players, instead of fighting in battles, could walk around quieter locations, looking for valuable loot, and then sell it. In addition, the flea market helps users access the best armor without spending a lot of effort.
There have been significant changes in the latest patch as players can no longer sell their best gear at the flea market. This was done to make players more interested in finding valuable items and weapons in raids on their own. In raids, players can not only search for items in weapon boxes or office boxes but also take valuable items from dead soldiers.
Weapon
The main feature of Escape from Tarkov is the behavior of weapons. It can break and overheat, so players will not be able to endlessly use the same weapon.
The changes that took place in the penultimate patch caused an uproar among users since the behavior of the weapon was quite strange. Finding weapons that were previously used, players received weapons of not the best quality. The life of the players depended on the state of the weapon. If the weapon jammed or was rusty, then at the most important moments it could let you down.
Overall, it conveys realism. However, in addition to this, players were faced with the fact that weapons in good condition could jam. After a couple of shots, players could observe that the weapon used was good for nothing. Moreover, the players were faced with the fact that the accuracy of the weapon began to fall sharply. After several fired magazines and repairs, the weapon behaved as if it had been used for many years without proper maintenance.
There are positive changes in the new patch. Negative stats have been rebalanced. In addition, players can observe that with prolonged use of the weapon, it begins to overheat, which subsequently leads to technical malfunctions. If the weapon is in poor condition, then the shells can get stuck in the chamber, which forces the players to repair weapons right on the battlefield.
Such changes have added more realism to the game. The behavior of weapons in the game is very similar to how they behave in real life, which is noted by many experts. This cannot but cause admiration. Due to such changes, new, previously unused weapons have greatly increased in price. That is why weapons have become as valuable a resource as ammunition or food.
The reputation of the Scavs
In addition to playing as the main characters, players in Escape from Tarkov can also play as bots called Scavs, which are usually controlled by artificial intelligence. This opportunity appears for each player every 20 minutes.
The goal of the game for the Scav is to find as many useful and valuable items as possible at the location. This is a great opportunity because after finding valuable weapons or items, you can eventually save them for your main character. It is also noteworthy that other Scavs will not touch you. They will shoot at you only if you open fire on your own.
Initially, many players playing as Scavs opened fire on their own to take weapons and other things from them. Killing their own, the players went unpunished.
However, in the penultimate patch, there were radical changes. Now every bot has a reputation. By having a good reputation, the reload time of weapons is greatly reduced and at the beginning of the raid, you will get good equipment. In addition, bosses begin to treat you more condescendingly, and other bots follow your commands.
With a low reputation, you face multiple fines. The waiting time of the game for the Scav increases, other bots treat you aggressively, and the bosses do not give any mercy. Also, you start playing with low-quality equipment. This change had a positive impact on the game as aggressive players started getting what they deserved.
Conclusion
Although the release of the game took place in 2017, the game is still under development. Players face a variety of challenges, but each new Escape from Tarkov patch brings positive changes to players and improves their gaming experience.
