Escape From Tarkov has received a brand new minor update that fixes a couple of issues that have been present during the whole timeline of 0.12.12. This update also adjusts the AI setting for Rogues and Scavs, and their behavior is yet to be determined in the coming period. The update is titled 0.12.12.3.16266 and is already available to download through the BSG launcher.
As for the Rogues on Lighthouse, their annoying close combat behavior has been tweaked, and they will no longer go prone and stand up once engaged. Better or worse, this change should allow players to react to their movement a lot easier.
Sanitar, the boss on Shoreline, has also been somewhat reworked. The other day, I had an issue where Sanitar completely disappeared and was nowhere to be found in the surrounding area. Since he has always been able to get out of Guards’ proximity in this patch, we would assume he just ran away super far. Well, today’s update tends to change that.
