Escape from Tarkov pushes the boundaries of genres and offers a new kind of gameplay based on a multitude of tactical and combat factors and the use of additional modules that improve game realism.

Events take place in a realistic setting in the Russian city of Tarkov. Main characters work for two private military companies locked in bloody conflict on the streets of the settlement surrounded by UN forces and Russian Military. Players need to find a way out of the isolated Tarkov, survive the deadly hazards and unearth all mysteries of the city. Following the wildly twisted plot, heroes of Escape from Tarkov meet many dangers – from hostile mercenaries of enemy faction to aggressive environment. Death may come suddenly in a multitude of ways: character may perish because of consequences of different injuries, illnesses, exhaustion and radiation poisoning.

To survive in a harsh and unpredictable world, players use numerous MMO system modules: users can control all actions and movements of their character and choose from a wide range of behaviors and tactics.

Escape from Tarkov's Hazardous Environment Combat Simulator employs a number of custom system modules to create incredibly immersive gameplay and make players feel the reality of what is happening in the game.

One of the main innovations of the upcoming patch will be the Hideout, a special game location, a safe place where the player will return to after each raid to treat and restore the basic characteristics of his character.

The regeneration rate will be directly related to the internal management of the Hideout: the construction and improvement of various zones, the creation and use of consumables for everyday life. Here, the player can increase the size of his stash, create first-aid kits and cartridges, as well as organize a full-fledged shooting gallery for training, use food, water, and medicine, build a bitcoin farm and much more. The functionality of the hideout will be supplemented and improved over time.

A new location “Reserve” has been added to the game, a secret military base of RosReserv, which, according to legends, contains a long-term supply of provisions, medicines, and resources in the event of total nuclear war. Located near the “Factory”, the Reserve will become the largest location in the game in terms of explorable area. The territory of the military base is surrounded by minefields, snipers and is controlled by the scav boss Glukhar and his squad. This grouping in battle uses special tactics, they often wear heavy bulletproof vests and helmets and use all available weapons including the NSV Utes stationary machine gun and the AGS-30 automatic grenade launcher, that are located on the map. You can leave the Reserve in various ways, for example, through the sewer hatch, on an armored train or by entering the bunker.

In the area of the sawmill on “Woods” players will now be able to measure strength with the Shturman.

However, he accepts only those buyers who have completed a particular quest. With the update, the remaining traders now issue new quests, and some of the existing ones have been redesigned.

Among other innovations of the update, players now have the ability to create and save custom weapon presets and quickly purchase parts for them, and they also have access to the new Ragman service - tactical clothing. 5 unique sets for USEC and BEAR are to be unlocked depending on the character level, merchant loyalty and the amount in rubles.
