Escape From Tarkov it’s slowly getting in its third month since the wipe, and the developer has decided to surprise the fans with a brand new update that seemingly fixes a plethora of issues. Titled as update 0.12.12.15.3, it also takes care of a long-existing issue that allows players to return quest items or full containers. How many of you have returned a Pilgrim full of items to Ragman?
Furthermore, this update fixes an issue with shotguns not dealing damage and an infinite loading screen issue when loading into a raid as a Scav. Another essential change in this update is removing the ability to look through the bunker walls on Reserve, which means D2 campers will thrive again. I mean, once I swore not to go there, but you cannot miss the fun, right?
Without further ado, you can check the complete patch notes below:
