Patch Notes Brief (TLDR + Analysis)

This is a version of the changelog filtered down to only the stuff that impacts gameplay significantly.

NOTE: (Lightkeeper and interacting with the in-raid trader was not mentioned in the patch notes but I expect they want us to find out if that exists from playing)

​

Big changes:

​

– rebalancing trading and prices,

– time-gating quests to slow peoples progression

– shooting range is now functional to train on when upgraded (moving targets, training programme)

– Support for AMD FSR 2.1 added means AMD enjoyers can upscale resolution which gives a huge
boost to ability to distinguish enemies at distance

​

– new sound positioning system is only available on Factory, Customs, Woods and Streets of Tarkov

I AM NOT SURE how sound will work on reserve, labs. (I would expect buggy audio)

​

Weapon and armour enhancement's have been added

WEAP – increased accuracy and decreased malfunction chance

ARMR – reduce damage taken to the armour

​

Weapon systems added:

​

– 40mm AK & 40mm M4 – Under barrel grenade launchers

– SR-2M + P upgrade kit (a basic PDW that plays like an MP7 with MP5 recoil)

– (5.56 Bullpup) AUG A1 + A3 (A3 is the aug with rails everywhere)

– a .50CAL revolver (12.7 is the Russian .50 equivalent)

– Glock 19X (9×19)

​
