The latest major update for the beta ofEscape from Tarkovbrings the game to version 0.11.0 and brings a bunch of weapons, a new location, and more. A new trailer shows off all of this and can be found at the bottom of this post, but let’s get into the details.
The update will bring players to a fairly fancy looking laboratory called TerraGroup Labs, now abandoned and with various areas to explore within it. Due to it being a secret location, there is no insurance return available, and there are no usual Scav’s within it and also roaming raiders.
The new location will offer players combat in tight corridors and large open areas, but will also bring firefights above and below as multiple floors within the laboratory walls keep enemies together. There is also a new consumable called Stimulators which will increase player skills but at the cost of affecting health.
There’s also a new Scav boss “Killa”, and four new weapons: ADAR-2-15, HK416 A5, RPK-16, and a Remington 700. Additionally, there are different variants of the Mosin rifle, and there are more than eighty weapon attachments in total added. You’ll also be able to give a good whacking with eight new melee weapons being made available toEscape from Tarkov,
