The preliminary patch notes for Escape From Tarkov 0.12.4 have arrived, and we’re happy to many of the changes announced. Before we post them, we just have to say that Tarkov is about to become a more realistic and beautiful game, especially with the new Stamina/Fatigue redesign but also the rework of Interchange, one of the most beautiful maps in the game.
We had already covered a couple of the changes yesterday, and not only Interchange will get a lighting rework, but also three new exfil points. What is most probable is that there will no longer be extraction campers due to the new extraction zones, a thing that was painful for each Interchange enthusiast.
We are glad to present to you the preliminary patch notes for the upcoming 0.12.4 patch! Below you can find the full list of changes scheduled for EFT 0.12.4. Keep in mind that they are preliminary patch notes, which means some of the bulleted changes below may vary.
