Escape From Tarkov update 12.1.5413 is undergoing as the servers are under maintenance. With a couple of healthy changes and bug fixes coming to the game, Tarkov is estimated to introduce more refined gameplay. The most realistic survival shooter will open its doors for everyone after the maintenance, but will also somewhat punish the strenuous hatchlings.
After observing the 12.1.5413 patch notes we can confirm that Battlestate Games are looking to stall things down with the character progression. Due to the cheesing factor, players were able to level up their skills very easily. Well, that is no longer going to happen with the “exhaustion” tag per match.
Bur from, what it seems, BSG is also trying to tackle on the very famous hatchlings. They are no longer going to recover as intended and per the hideout medic level, if they die without a weapon throughout the raid.
List of changes:
- While leveling skills, the character will now have “exhaustion” of skill per raid, this means that skill will be leveled more slowly during the raid after every repeat. If you do not level a certain skill for a while (a few minutes), the character will recover and will be able to level this skill with normal speed again. This change is directed against skills abuse (targeted and consecutive leveling of the same skill)
- Skills now have a maximum level that can not be overcome even with stimulants-60
- Secured containers can no longer be discarded during a raid
- Secured containers can no longer be put inside other containers, it can only be put in the slot of the secured container of the character. If you’ve had your secured container inside another container, it will return through in-game message system after the update
- Special optical devices, helmets and helmet mounts can no longer be placed in secure containers. If you’ve had your devices inside a secured container, it will return through the in-game message system after the update
- Added a limit on the amount of money that you can carry in the inventory of the character (no such limits in stash) – 150,000 rubles, 1000 dollars, 1000 euros (limits can be changed for balancing purposes)
- If your character died without an equipped firearm (any kind of), then after the raid he will recover only 1% of health, not 30%
- If you left the raid prematurely (through disconnect), then in the main menu you will recover only 1% of health, not 30%
- If you entered the raid in a group and you were killed by a member of your group, then in the main menu you will recover only 1% of health, not 30%
- If you kill yourself in a raid, then in the main menu you will recover only 1% of health, not 30%
