Escape From Tarkov Arena will be getting a new update that will wipe the database and allow players to start anew. Player ARP (ranking) will also be reset, including the player progression. As per the revealed information by Battlestate Games, many things are coming with the update on February 28.
First, there will be a new and improved preset tier system for players to enjoy. We now finally know why Battlestate Games pushed an event in the game and gave away tons of roubles to players. We estimated that there would be a wipe, and it truly happened.
The image revealing some of the features coming with the patch can be found below. Previously, Battlestate Games said players can link their PMC characters in Q1 of 2024, but that doesn’t seem possible per the revealed image.
Overall, there will be plenty of improvements, and we cannot wait to see the full patch notes, which will most likely be revealed when the patch lands.
On Wednesday, February 28, we are planning to install update 0.1.5 for Escape from Tarkov: Arena.

The developer has also revealed a teaser revealing new skins, which seem to me like microtransaction ones.
