And we can expect it to be very expensive – both the rifle and the bullets.įor more information on these weapons, be sure to check out our article BSG Teases New Weapons Coming To Tarkov where we review each gun in more detail. Fortunately, to balance this power he stated that it will be reserved for the end-game as it will require Jaeger at Loyalty Level 4 to purchase. Nikita emphasized that the 338 Lapua Magnum round will be “a beast”. Meanwhile, the 338 Lapua Magnum will likely be the most damaging bullet in the game when it is introduced. 300 AAC Blackout will be a harder hitting round that can be loaded into standard 5.56 magazines. In addition to the new weapons, we see two new bullets introduced to Escape From Tarkov. Just as we predicted, the KRISS Vector appears to be a fast firing SMG best suited for close quarters. The weapon used a removeable suppressor and a surprising 50-round drum magazine. The developers showed us a little bit of the 9×19 KRISS Vector in action by firing it in the new Woods expansion.

Lead game designer and COO, Nikita Buyanov, confirmed during the devblog that update 12.9 will introduce 5 new weapons to the game. Arguably, it is a period of the game that embraces the tone of Escape From Tarkov the most as a survival experience taking place in an abandoned region. It is a time where most players don’t have meta guns and gear and battles are fought with anything you can find. Wipes can be hard on players invested in their progress during the current wipe however, we have always enjoyed the game the most right after a wipe. Essentially, everyone will be starting over from scratch. All items will be deleted, quest progress reset and skills returned to zero. This means that every player’s characters will be completely reset.

Regardless, we did get an opportunity to see new lake area, many trails running through the woods and a brand new village with cabins similar to those found on Shoreline. However, they purposely avoided new landmarks to allow the players to discover on their own. During the devblog, the developers gave us a sneak preview by walking through the new expansion area to Woods. It will be the fourth map receiving an expansion this year following changes to the Customs, Reserve and Interchange maps. This expansion has been teased by Battlestate Games over the past few months. The developers have confirmed that update 12.9 will introduce the long anticipated expansion to the Woods map.
