Escape from Tarkov’s Kord Breach Follow-Up May Have Lowered Airdrop Chance and Changed Boss Spawns
Unverified August 4 records also point to two Therapist removals and a Jaeger insurance-coefficient change across several maps.
Escape from Tarkov may have received a batch of post-Kord Breach configuration changes on August 4, 2026. Dated change-log records point to a lower airdrop chance, a higher per-raid airdrop limit, new boss spawn percentages across several maps, and two items removed from Therapist. Battlestate Games has not confirmed the entries, so they should be treated as unverified for now.
The entries carry three August 4 timestamps: 04:43 AM, 05:00 AM, and 10:43 AM EDT. No Battlestate Games confirmation accompanies the records.

Therapist and Jaeger Changes
The earliest entry, timestamped 04:43 AM EDT, marks two Therapist items as removed: eTG-change regenerative stimulant injector and Item case.
A second entry at 05:00 AM EDT changes Jaeger’s Insurance-coefficient from LL from 45-43-41-4 to 45-43-41-39. The record does not explain whether the setting applies across modes or why the final value changed.
Airdrop Settings Favor Fewer Rolls, Higher Ceiling
At 10:43 AM EDT, the airdrop values change in opposite directions. Airdrop chance is listed as 0.2, down from 0.9, while Airdrop max rises to 5 per raid from 1. If active, that combination would make airdrops less frequent while allowing more to appear in a raid that triggers them.
Boss Spawn Percentages Across Tarkov Maps
The same 10:43 AM EDT entry assigns the following rates:
- Factory day: Tagilla — 30%
- Customs: Reshala — 45%, Goons — 15%, Partisan — 10%, Cultists — 10%
- Woods: Shturman — 45%, Goons — 15%, Partisan — 10%, Cultists — 10%
- Lighthouse: Goons — 15%, Partisan — 10%
- Shoreline: Sanitar — 45%, Goons — 15%, Partisan — 10%, Cultist — 5%
- Reserve: Glukhar — 30%
- Interchange: Killa — 45%, Tagilla — 25%
- Streets of Tarkov: Kaban — 45%, Kolontay — 45%
- Factory Night: Tagilla — 45%, Cultists — 4%
These values are presented as configuration entries rather than a confirmed Battlestate Games announcement. They also do not establish whether the same settings apply to every game mode, so players should wait for an official clarification before treating them as final.
For now, these entries are best treated as a snapshot of possible live settings rather than a confirmed announcement. Share your thoughts in the comments, and follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram.
