Leave your mark on the history of #TarkovArena!
We know there are plenty of talented designers and customization enthusiasts in our community. Today, we're launching the #TarkovArenaStyle contest - your chance to bring your idea into the game.
Create a PMC outfit concept for a chance to see your design added to the game. The best entries will become part of #TarkovArena.
⏰ Submissions are open until August 7 at 9:59 PM BST / 4:59 PM EDT.
Update 1.1.0.0 in #EscapefromTarkov will introduce a variety of QoL improvements across several game systems.
Notable changes will improve the availability of equipment in the early stages of progression. Many entry-level ammo types will become available much earlier. For example, 7.62x39 T-45M1 will be purchasable from Prapor right from the start of the game.
The character level requirements for earlier trader LLs will be reduced, and the total trade volume requirement will be removed entirely.
The early Hideout development is also being streamlined, with construction times for the initial modules getting reduced. Also, there will be less dependencies on other modules and “Found in Raid” items.
As we've previously mentioned, insurance will be unavailable in Kord Breach season, but it will become more convenient in PvP and PvE Zone. Insured items will be returned more quickly, though the cost will increase slightly. In addition, Jaeger will now offer his own insurance service. While significantly more expensive, it will return lost items in just a couple of hours.
These changes will make character progression smoother, allowing players to spend more time on active gameplay and pursuing long-term goals.
We’re continuing to improve matchmaking in #TarkovArena. With Update 0.5.2.2, we’ve optimized the match connection process, making it faster to get into the game.
Matchmaking improvements:
● Match persistence during loading.
If a player disconnects while loading into a server, the match will continue for everyone else, and another player may join to fill the vacant slot.
● Join matches already in progress.
Players can now join ongoing matches if there are available slots. This feature is only available during the first few minutes of a match.
These improvements are already available to test in Last Hero and will be rolled out to additional game modes in future updates.

In this video we customize an AKS-74U. A shortened version of the famous assault rifle developed in the early 80s for combat vehicle crews and airborne troops, it also became very popular with law enforcement and special forces for its compact size.

Classified materials from The Lab are gradually making their way beyond the facility's walls. Those with few moral scruples have already lined their pockets, while Mechanic is working tirelessly to restore power to the underground complex and prevent highly dangerous equipment from falling into the wrong hands.
The in-game event "Blackout" in #EscapefromTarkov will end on July 27. Complete the associated tasks to earn a unique achievement.
The in-game event "Blackout" is live in #EscapefromTarkov.
Skier has discovered a vulnerability in the Lab’s security system and plans to strip the facility clean. Information this valuable was never going to stay secret for long, and now all kinds of interested parties are converging on the underground complex - each with their own motives.
However, someone else was already one step ahead: a team of unidentified operatives in black had infiltrated the Lab. What they're searching for remains unknown, but their presence poses a serious threat.
The event's end date will be announced later. Complete the associated tasks to earn a unique achievement.
In the sixth episode of #TarkovDevTalks, @Mr_pudlik_ Lead Graphics and UI/UX Designer for #EscapefromTarkov, joins us to discuss the changes to the game's interface, the design process behind it, and, of course, "The Chronicles of Ryzhy".
One question still remains: should the beard stay or go? Leave your suggestions and any questions for the team in the comments!
We would like to remind you once again of the key security guidelines to help prevent account breaches, theft, and any potential data leaks.
Do not click on suspicious links If someone sends you a link from an “admin,” “friend,” or “service,” make sure it leads to the official game website. Fake pages may look convincing but are designed to steal your data.
Never share your login or password with anyone Administrators, moderators, and support staff of Battlestate Games will never ask for your account credentials. If someone does — they are a scammer.
Do not enter your data on random websites Authorization forms on third-party sites are a direct path to losing your account. Only enter your information in official applications (#EscapefromTarkov & #TarkovArena) and on official Battlestate Games resources.
● To protect your accounts, we strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) using an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.).
● This is one of the most effective ways to secure your account against unauthorized access. Even if someone obtains your password, logging in without the code from the app will be impossible.
Please set up two-factor authentication as soon as possible.
How to enable two-factor authentication:
1. Log in to the Battlestate Games Account Center — https://t.co/cydlL4q08L
2. In the "Security Settings" section, click the "Set Up" button next to two-factor authentication.
3. In "Available account protection methods," select “Authenticator App — Set Up” and enable the option.
4. To configure the authenticator app, install an app such as Authy.
5. Scan the QR code using the app or enter the setup key manually.
6. Enter the unique code and click “Save.”
Thank you for your attention and for taking care of your account security.

The patch 0.5.2 installation in #TarkovArena is complete. Please download the update via the launcher.
The new S.B.E.U. HERO mode is now live! 😂
Until July 7, jump into S.B.E.U. HERO and try the wildest community-created loadouts ever seen in EFT: Arena.
The event also features:
● Double XP for matches played in S.B.E.U. HERO;
● A special task chain;
● An exclusive achievement for completing every event tasks.
No meta. Just chaos. Just S.B.E.U.
IMPORTANT: During final testing, we identified a bug that may cause a black screen to appear after a round. If this happens, please reconnect to the match. A fix is already in the works and will be released as soon as possible.
The Scav mutiny did not survive the chaos that engulfed the outskirts of Tarkov. All their commanders were eliminated, and the remaining members either went into hiding or returned to Fence.
The in-game event "Wild Wild Woods" has concluded.
The max number of PMCs and the spawn time of player Scavs on Woods, as well as the time between Scav raids have been restored to regular values. The penalty for aggression between Scavs is active again. #EscapefromTarkov
Battlestate Games is heading to ChinaJoy for the first time – the largest exhibition in China and Asia dedicated to computer games and digital entertainment, which will take place in Shanghai.
Visitors will be able to try out Escape from Tarkov and EFT: Arena, ask questions, win various prizes, take photos and get exclusive comments from the developers from July 31 to August 3 in Hall 2, Stand 9. Throughout all days of exhibition visitors will have access to the Escape from Tarkov merchandise available for purchase at the booth.
Any inquiries related to Battlestate Games' participation at ChinaJoy can be sent to [email protected].
Battlestate Games is the developer of Escape from Tarkov, a hardcore realistic story-driven multiplayer online project that combines features of FPS/TPS, battle simulator, and RPG with MMO elements, and Escape from Tarkov: Arena, a competitive first-person PvPvE shooter with tactical team modes.

Anarchy among the Scavs continues, and Fence seems to be content with it. Meanwhile, Jaeger is making every effort to clear the nature reserve of unruly gangs. Revolver shots can be heard throughout the area around the clock and with each passing day there is less and less valuables. Don’t miss your chance to claim your spoils!
The "Wild Wild Woods" event in #EscapefromTarkov has been extended until July 1st, 11:00 AM BST / 6:00 AM EDT.
Today, we would like to once again explain what TarCoin is and provide more details about how these coins will work.
TarCoin is a new type of in-game currency that will be used exclusively within the Expansion Hub. Using it, you will be able to purchase apparel sets, stash lines, and other items that were previously only available on the official website.
After the Expansion Hub is released, TarCoins will still be obtainable in raid in PvP mode, but several aspects of their functionality will change:
● TarCoins will no longer take up space in your stash. Once a raid is completed, all extracted TarCoins will be automatically converted into your account balance;
● Any TarCoins currently stored in players' stashes will be automatically converted when the Expansion Hub goes live;
● TarCoins will no longer be tradable on the Flea Market. All active TarCoin listings at the time of the Expansion Hub launch will be removed, and the coins will be automatically converted.
TarCoin packs will be available for purchase through the Expansion Hub, the official website, and Steam. Purchased TarCoins will be credited directly to your account balance immediately after purchase.
