Reserve has been very disappointing throughout this wipe. At the beginning of this Escape From Tarkov season, the raiders were not even spawning, leaving players without a chance to complete their No Place For Renegades Quest. Not to mention, the loot table was dumped down hard. Players didn’t have the opportunity to loot valuable items, and everyone was eager to receive some loot buff.
Battlestate Games heard the outcry and decided to provide a change to that. First, they made the Raiders at the underground control room spawn at the start of the raid (before it was an event trigger). In that way, players were finally able to eliminate raiders and complete their quest. But there was more story bringing sadness to all the action on Reserve. Once the most beloved map, now full of hatred and agony. Players had to find another map to bolster their earnings.
Raider Loot Buffed on Reserve
For that reason, Battlestate Games has decided to make another change: to increase the loot table on the Raiders, which further incentivizes players to engage with them. While we were skeptical about the change, we had to ensure there’s a benefit of killing them, especially once you reach the tedious quest to kill plenty of them on Reserve. It’s not the shiniest, but still a lot better than it was before.
Well, both of the spawns differ from each other, and both of them have been buffed to the same extent. From today and on, you will have a reason to stay longer on Reserve, or at least wait for the ones at the Train Station to spawn. They can also be spawned earlier by pressing the Hermetic Door Power Button, or waiting for the arrival of the armored train, which makes them spawn by default.
Other than that, the developer decided to buff the Global Loot Tables, increasing the loot delivery and tier on all maps. Lighthouse might have been nerfed, but now it’s time to try out something else.
