The next Escape From Tarkov wipe and patch are expected to arrive in just a few days, with game director Nikita Buyanov revealing new details about the upcoming update. Two significant additions have been confirmed: a prestige system and hideout customization.
Hideout customization has long been a topic of discussion among players, but its arrival is still shrouded in mystery. The game’s director hinted that this feature could be the hidden “hideout robot” or the eagerly anticipated “hideout cat.” However, a more exciting aspect of this update is the ability to visit friends’ hideouts, which could revolutionize social interaction within Tarkov.
Another major addition is a new type of extraction, but details remain scarce. While some speculate that it may be related to the BTR or involve new quests from the driver, there’s currently little concrete evidence to support these claims.
The upcoming patch promises significant changes, including winter weather in the Norvinsk region and visual improvements to recoil mechanics. Other features include updated locations and a solid foundation for future content updates.
