Hey there, fellow gamers! If you’ve ever felt the thrill of nighttime raids in Escape from Tarkov, you’re going to love what Battlestate Games has cooked up for us this time. Imagine wandering through dimly lit maps, only to find enemies lurking in the shadows and a treasure trove of marked keys waiting to be snagged. Intrigued? Let’s dive into the details!
Battlestate Games has rolled out another pre-wipe event for Escape from Tarkov, introducing a 100% spawn rate (at night) for Cultists across their main maps: Shoreline, Customs, and Woods. The latest update has equipped many of these Cultists with Marked Keys, which, as you might know, open doors to some of the most high-value locations in the game.
So what’s this event all about? TLDR:
- Tarkov Pre-Wipe Event: Introduced a 100% spawn rate (at night) for Cultists across Shoreline, Customs, and Woods.
- Cultist Loot: Players can find Marked Keys on killed Cultists.
- Nights Only: Spawn rate applies only during nighttime hours.
- NVG Discounts: Mechanic offers significant discounts on NVGs like GPNVG-18 (43k roubles).
- PvP Exclusive: Pre-wipe events apply solely within PvP gameplay modes; no equivalent exists in PvE.
- Cultist Knives: Can be traded with Mechanic for colored keycards.
- Your chance at glory awaits before Christmas wipe!
You might recall that players were recently tackling a pre-wipe event where they had to kill 30 enemies on the Factory map to unlock Kappa, one of the hottest items around. Now, it seems things are heating up even more!
This latest pre-wipe event for Tarkov comes with quite an intriguing description on social media:
The losses of both PMC factions during night-time operations have increased. The old-timers believe that this is due to the pilgrimage of the so-called “witnesses” to their marked circles.
There are reports of many of those hooded people carrying marked keys. Despite the increased danger, PMCs are now preparing for night raids and taking advantage of the fact that Mechanic started selling NVGs at a great discount.
So here’s what’s happening: large maps accommodating Cultists (not Ground Zero or Factory) will have a 100% spawn rate for this faction only at night. Mechanic offers massive discounts on NVGs like the GPNVG-18, priced at just 43,000 roubles!
Killing Cultists gives you a solid chance of picking up a range of Marked Keys from their bodies; think about all that sweet loot waiting for you! But remember that thousands of other players will be vying for access to these coveted locations, too.
A little heads-up, though. This pre-wipe event is exclusively available for PvP players. PvE mode doesn’t accommodate forced wipes well. So, if you’re looking forward to this challenge, ensure you’re suited up and ready!
If that wasn’t enough incentive, you can secure some shiny Cultist Knives and trade them with Mechanic for colored keycards. What’s not to love?
