Escape From Tarkov received update 0.14.1.0. This patch introduces plenty of changes but also adds microtransactions to the game. For the full patch notes, check below.
The latest patch update of 0.14.1.0 includes several improvements and fixes aimed at enhancing the overall player experience and game balance. One of the most significant changes in this update is the reworking of damage through layers of armor. This update will affect the bullet’s penetration power and damage as it penetrates each layer of armor. The damage and penetration power of bullets will depend on the characteristics of the armor penetrated.
Additionally, the update addresses a previously reported issue with missing blunt damage when hitting a ballistic plate and adjusts blunt damage to decrease when there is soft armor behind the unpenetrated component. Another practical addition is the “fits existing” text to the ballistic plate inspector, which displays compatible armors, enhancing player equipment management.
