Escape From Tarkov Patch Notes: Battlestate Games has revealed that Patch 0.13, which includes the Streets of Tarkov map and a reset, will be implemented on December 28, 2022. Before the start of maintenance, BSG provided patch notes. I’ve reviewed the update notes and pulled out your most salient points. The patch notes kick off with some new map context:

This revision extends Tarkov to the area around Primorsky Avenue and Klimov Street. Various pieces of urban infrastructure, such as a defunct factory, a hotel, a news agency, an apartment complex, a car lot, a shopping mall, and a movie theatre, can be found in this area. The city will be further developed after this initial phase is complete.

The map will eventually feature multiple bosses, but they won’t be present in the initial release. There will also be a new kind of street extraction that requires you to fire a green flare as you get close to it. If you don’t, artificial intelligence snipers at the extract will start shooting at you.

Skills

There are now abilities for both light armour (to mitigate the penalties of wearing it, such as reduced mobility and increased wear when repairing) and heavy armour (to grow the damage one can do with melee weapons) (reduces mobility penalty, blunt damage and wear of armour when repairing).

I went through the patch notes for #EscapeFromTarkov Patch 0.13 (wipe) and pulled out the highlights. What are you most excited for?

The patch notes don’t reveal any information that could help you level up your heavy or light armour skills other than maybe repairing them. Additionally, the Charisma skill, which impacts the cost of insurance, paid extracts, operational tasks, the price of the Scav Box, and the Therapist’s healing services, was reworked by BSG.

Sound

The BSG team announced earlier this year that they would discontinue Steam Audio’s support. This set of notes reveals that a replacement, Oculus Audio, has been developed. Binaural sound, which is enabled by default, is highly recommended by BSG.

The new audio positioning system is only playable on the Factory, Customs, Woods, and Streets of Tarkov, as stated in the update notes. Additionally, they note that future updates to other maps will enhance their ability to locate and display ambient noise.

Fixes

Many bugs have been addressed, from bushes making a noise on the loading screen to bots not mourning the deaths of their comrades. One change that has me scratching my head is “fixed an issue where already looted containers were left open to other players.”

I had always assumed this was supposed to be a mechanic that alerts players that someone else has already explored a given area.
