Mts-255-12 shotgun, another weapon added to the repository of upcoming weapons, is expected to arrive in Escape From Tarkov soon. All of the weapons revealed but not added to the game are expected to be added with the next major update, which is deemed to introduce Lighthouse and/or Streets of Tarkov.

I could imagine what actually is going through the minds of the developers of Escape From Tarkov as they tease new weapons. Recently, the guy behind JustEmuTarkov has managed to outshine BSG by adding tons of new content such as weapons and other stuff in its single-player EFT emulator.
JustEmuTarkov, or JET for short, is a self-hosted backend server for Escape From Tarkov, which allows players to play on their own terms. The project was started by one guy and allows modification of every server-side parameter and supports modding that would allow players to play different game modes. The emulator is free to download and play, which is not very polite towards developers, even though the person behind the emulator supports the original game.
