A Reddit user claims to have found a previously unseen item in Escape from Tarkov: a Bottle of YMC Water inside Dorm 206. The discovery was shared on August 3, 2026, but the post does not confirm whether the item is newly added, limited to a specific event, or available anywhere else.
The attached in-game screenshot shows the bottle under the Provisions and Drinks categories. It weighs 0.750 kg, takes three seconds to use, restores 100 hydration, and unlocks on the Flea Market at level 15.
The item’s description gives the bottle an unusual backstory. It says the limited-edition YMC water was released for the first international marathon held in Tarkov. According to the description, a runner from China won the race after reaching the finish line at the southern port terminal first.
For now, this remains a player discovery rather than a confirmed addition from Battlestate Games. The screenshot shows the item and its listed effects, but it does not establish how often the bottle can be found or whether Dorm 206 is the only location where it appears.
