The end is near, Tarkov warriors. Pre-wipe chaos has arrived, and with it comes the kind of madness only Battlestate Games could dream up. This time, the infamous rivalry between Prapor and Peacekeeper is taking center stage as both traders slash prices on under-barrel grenade launchers and their devastating ammunition. It’s an arms race on steroids, and we’re all invited to the fireworks show.
For those out of the loop, pre-wipe events are the ultimate send-off before the inevitable reset. The game’s economy spirals into insanity, traders throw their usual rules out the window, and the streets of Tarkov turn into an unrelenting battlefield. This time, the discounts on grenade launchers signal that the devs want every encounter to go out with a literal bang. If you’ve ever wanted to lob explosives like it’s going out of style, now’s your chance.
So Far, Here’s What Pre-Wipe Events Have Brought Us:
- Fence Quest for Kappa: Fence made a rare move, offering a direct path to that elusive Kappa container. But don’t think it came easy, it’s Tarkov, after all.
- Cultists Spawning Everywhere: If the dark corners weren’t scary enough, cultists are now spawning 100% of the time, armed with marked keys and NVGs. Sleep with one eye open.
- Dogtags for Good Ammo: Traders are rewarding those who hunt down their enemies, offering top-tier ammo for every dogtag turned in. If it wasn’t personal before, it sure is now.
- Melee Barters for Gear: Mechanic has gone wild, trading helmets and plates for melee weapons. Got a knife? Get some armor.
- Labs Access for 1 AI2: Labs is open to anyone with a spare medkit—and the AA-12 shotgun is dirt cheap. Chaos guaranteed.
- PVP-Only Frenzy: No scav runs, no peaceful looting, just pure, unfiltered PvP.
- Grenade Launcher Galore: Prapor and Peacekeeper are practically giving away underbarrel GLs. The result? Explosions on every corner.
The kill count is skyrocketing, with grenade launchers in almost everyone’s hands. Dog tags are being snatched up faster than loot in Dorms, but neither Prapor nor Peacekeeper shows any sign of stopping. Both traders seem more interested in one-upping each other than in controlling the carnage.
And yet, this chaos is precisely what makes pre-wipe events so legendary. It’s not just about survival anymore. It’s about going out in the most ridiculous, explosive way possible. Tarkov’s streets have become a high-stakes playground for those who thrive in the madness.
So, what’s your play? Stockpile grenade launchers, farm those dog tags, or dive headfirst into Labs with an AA-12? Whatever you choose, remember this: Tarkov is a cruel, chaotic mistress, and she doesn’t forgive easily.
Until the wipe comes, enjoy the chaos. And as always, see you on the other side.
