Escape from Tarkov’s latest pre-wipe event introduces a massive change inside the war-torn region.

Event Details, TL;DR:
- Player Scavs spawn with good gear
This move by the Scavs is particularly noteworthy because, as the post suggests, no rare equipment or weapons have surfaced on the market, which sounds like the event itself. This indicates that the event could be related to Scav players, hinting at a gameplay event where Scavs might be unusually well-armed. “Scavs spawn with high-tier gear,” respectively, reflecting both surprise and acknowledgment of the game’s evolving narrative.
