[GameSpot] - Escape From Tarkov's Wipe Patch Is Now Live, Details Yet To Come

[343iBot]

Patch 0.12.11 for Escape From Tarkov has launched after days of hints and teasers from developer Battlestate Games. The patch includes a full wipe of player inventories, setting everyone playing the hardcore MMO first-person shooter back to square one. However, a full list of patch notes for update 0.12.11 has not been released yet.

It's no secret that a wipe for Escape From Tarkov was coming up. The game has long been due for one, with its last wipe arriving last December. Escape From Tarkov issues player inventory wipes twice a year. Battlestate Games also implemented some in-game changes to prepare players for an inventory wipe, including the deactivation of secure containers, which players use to keep precious equipment and cargo between runs, and hefty discounts at the game's vendors.

As for what else is coming in Escape From Tarkov's 0.12.11 patch, it's a mystery, and that's on purpose. In a tweet, Battlestate Games said that it wasn't releasing a full list of patch notes on purpose. Instead, "We want to give you some time to discover the new features of the patch. We will post a full list of new features and changes later," wrote the developer.

For the time being, the only details of patch 0.12.11 made available by Battlestate games is a long list of fixes players can expect to find. That list can be found down below and will be updated with the update's full list of changes when it's made available.
