3000hrs of arena here. I played since day 1 release. I think some of us are just build different 🙈 like @RapidEFT said, I think we are clinging on to the hope that it will feel good again. The past year in eft arena has been …. Interesting. I’m not taking a breake for the first time since it came out 😂

Gladiators, as part of the playtest in #TarkovArena, we’ve temporarily adjusted the TeamFight mode!
Our team has reworked the timing of all key match phases to make rounds more dynamic and reduce downtime between fights.
● Key changes:
- The Capture Point now appears 20–40 seconds after the gates open, depending on the Arena size.
- The Cleanup Crew spawns 60 seconds after the Capture Point appears.
- The Poison phase begins 20 seconds after the Cleanup Crew enters the field.
- Total round duration (from gate opening to Poison activation) has been reduced from 155 seconds to 90 seconds.
● Additional changes:
- TeamFight no longer has class restrictions within a team.
- Capture time has been reduced to 7 seconds (except on the “Bowl” map).
- Capture speed now scales with the number of players involved, similar to the CheckPoint mode.
💰 During the event, all TeamFight rewards are increased by 50% (including BattlePass XP).
⏰ The playtest will run until May 12, 10:00 BST / 5:00 AM EDT.
We’re looking forward to your feedback in the comments — your input may shape the future of the mode.
My 9 years at @bstategames and @tarkov have come to an end.
Thank you, @nikgeneburn, for the exciting challenges and for the incredible project we built together.
I still remember the first quests, the first boss — Reshala, Hideout, the massive Flea Market formulas, every patch, and every sleepless night as if it all happened yesterday. It was a difficult journey, but it was absolutely worth it.
All of it mattered because I got to see millions of players experience the game I helped design. I met so many fans and streamers at events along the way. Thank you all for being there — truly.
Now it’s time to move forward.
See you around
