What we Know About The Tarkov Patch 13 & Wipe

There's will be a wipe! In the stream we talked about at the beginning, Nikita mentioned that with the Tarkov Update 0.13, which is supposed to bring the map Streets Of Tarkov, among other things, a wipe comes along with it.

It has always been a thing that the Tarkov database be completely emptied and all players have to start over. This annoys some experienced players, but it increases the chances of success for newcomers, as they can hardly keep up with the high-level gear.

This content has been confirmed: The new Streets of Tarkov map is likely to be at the top of the players' wish-list, introducing narrow roads, wide main streets, and above all, several residential and business complexes. A map for all fans of urban firefights.

With Patch 0.13 of Escape From Tarkov you can also travel between maps within one ongoing raid. Not only should factory and streets be connected, but also labs and customs.

There should also be character creation. This will not be very detailed, because you can only adjust your face in patch 0.13 of Tarkov. Also there will be VOIP (Voice Over IP). Simply put, this is a full-fledged in-game voice chat.

Something needs to be done about thoe full wipes, just doesnt feel right. You play for 3-4 months and u lose all progress, would aprecciate some sort of permanent rewards for all those hours put int. D3Hell cant always take care of my leveling needs, battlestate games needs to rethink some aspects of the game.

That sounds like a dumb idea, forced wipe = progression for those who actually play the game to grind. No wipe = people running around bored.

Anon

I don't think it is that simple. A permanent reward like prestige in COD would be nice without giving too much advantage or progress for better players. It would keep things competitve and you could still grind without making it too challenging/pointless for worse players or people who got the game at the end of the wipe.

anon

it actually is that simple, you want to keep your pixels? go play CoD since you love it so much, kiddo

Just double tap "Z" if you want to drop you're heavy ass backpack when you get in a fight. People just need to get used to the fact that if you're going to go big, then you're not going to be able to loot big items without being penalized for it. I like the weight changes, easier to level up strength if you're always encumbered.

Shannon Bolton

im probably not going to play cuz you literally cant do anything with 28 kg. makes no sense to change it. its fine the way it is. unless they make things weigh less theres literally no point to play then, you cant loot anything.

Bill

100% this... I can't stand bein weighed down from half my bag being full. They are so bullheaded that they are going to change it, regardless of what 98% of us players want.

oliver

Mate what you putting in that bag a tank battery. LoL its not that bad.

sapphire

My build in full kit is 19.8kg right now, and I'm running basic scav stuff. That's just a gun, armor, helmet, headset, rig, and backpack. Basic meds and one spare mag.

Nikita wants the game to be really hard also, overweight is just another problem you have to deal with just like bleeding or fractures

bigdanging

if only you could like... i dont know level up your skills so you can carry more weight... hmmm

Eepeen

Put 28kg on your back and start running see how far you make it
