Escape from Tarkov developer Battlestate Games has rolled out a balance update that reverts several controversial restrictions and restores familiar progression points. The update, shared on September 10 via the official Tarkov account, touches both trader access and the Flea Market.
The patch reintroduces the full Skier LL4 item range, alongside the reinstatement of access to the Flea Market at level 30. Purchasable USD and EUR currency returns to Peacekeeper and Skier inventories, easing currency pressure for players. At the same time, the money requirements tied to trader loyalty levels have been reduced, making it less punishing to progress through trader ranks.
The changes mean a smoother return to familiar progression rhythms and fewer roadblocks tied to currencies or locked inventory.
Patch Notes
- Returned the full Skier LL4 item range
- Returned access to the Flea Market at level 30
- Returned the purchasable USD and EUR at Peacekeeper and Skier
- Reduced the money requirements for traders’ Loyalty Levels
