Escape From Tarkov 0.12.4 did reset the strength and endurance of all players, but further problems with the stamina redesign have made the developers take additional actions. Today’s Escape From Tarkov update has seemingly performed a reset of Stamina and Endurance for one more time, but only to those who have been abusing the upgrade mechanic.
Furthermore, this update fixes a decent number of bugs, but also adds new sound queue for heavy breathing (heavy breathing and shaking hands) once the character stamina drops below a particular level.
Being charmed by the benefits gained from high strength and endurance, players couldn’t resist upgrading their characters the fastest way possible. For that reason, BSG has also decided to lower the weight needed to increase a skill point in strength.
