Escape From Tarkov has just become a lot more balanced

Well, fellas, our favorite first-person shooter has become much more balanced after enduring a few flea market changes. It seems that Battlestate Games had it enough, and according to them, it’s more entertaining to see long-lasting battles rather than one-tap phenomena. Today, Battlestate Games has removed a couple of ammo types from the FLEA Market, including the top-notch ammo from the traders.

Besides the overpowered ammo types like M61, M995, and PS12B, the change also obscures the M855A1, which can no longer be purchased from Skier. As for the FLEA Market, the 12.7x55mm P12B, 7.62×51 M80, and 9x21mm BT have all been banned.

The ammunition that has a one-tap capability is no longer accessible by those who sleep on the game for countless hours after a wipe. According to the latest datamine by LogicalSolutions, the following changes have taken place:

Years after its existence, there’s yet another reason to grind for in Escape From Tarkov besides the one and only Kappa secure container. Would you be indulging the grind this season, or are you going to wait for the next one?
