Escape From Tarkov is probably the most realistic shooter on the market — or is it? More and more players are complaining about the supposedly too strong “realism”, which had turned out to be nonsense more and more often. The developers of Tarkov are now accommodating the community and fixing the biggest points of criticism within a few days.
What is the problem? The developer Battlestate Games has been trying to improve Escape From Tarkov for years. However, many changes lead to the opposite for the fans. Just recently, a criticism video by YouTuber Veritas appeared, which makes it clear: Tarkov’s claim to realism and balanced mechanics has long since overshot the mark. But the development team is not deaf and apparently listens to the community. Now comes one of the best updates for Tarkov — ever.
Tarkov update erases community criticisms – these are the changes
The biggest criticisms of the current version of Escape From Tarkov concern the recoil of weapons, the movement and the compulsion to eat and drink constantly and a lot. All this has now been improved with a patch:
- Recoil angle for weapons reduced.
- Stamina is less affected when you get hit by bullets.
- Maximum weight has been increased
- Consumption of energy and stamina has been significantly reduced.
- Emphasized high reduction of disadvantages when wearing body armor.

What does the community say about the changes?
The fans on twitter.com can hardly believe it. According to their own statements, the user TheFriendlyGuy had to make sure several times that it was not the fake account “BatterStateGames”. Others write that this patch will simply change everything for the better. However, there are also voices that report bugs:
In PMC runs, I keep getting frame drops. Every time I get into a firefight, the game crashes. But hey. Recoil improved.
