Yesterday, Battlestate Games revealed that a new Escape From Tarkov and Arena patch is coming on June 13, today. The developer has also revealed that during this maintenance, the game won’t be playable for approximately 4 hours. Well, that maintenance has already begun.
BSG has also revealed the patch notes for both EFT and its Arena component, so we’re here, writing this to share them with our readers. As per the revealed, there seem to be tons of changes, including the long-awaited Armor tweaks. I mean, since it is a four-hour maintenance, it was somewhat expected that we would see all of this.
Without further ado, you can find the patch notes below.
