Battlestate Games has deployed a new Escape from Tarkov event that has introduced rampant instability across the game’s world. This event has boosted boss spawns on all maps to 100%, and as a result of the carnage, night raids are now riskier – but we don’t know how.
Also, the update has suggested that Scav Bosses are more heavily equipped and that the equipment you take from them cannot be listed on the Flea Market. This event is taking place mere days before the arrival of the hotly anticipated 1.1.0.0 update, which is set to introduce the game’s first ‘season’ patch.
Escape from Tarkov Bosses Are Everywhere
When you raid into Escape from Tarkov today, you’ll find that every map has a 100% chance to spawn boss characters. Not only that, but the bosses that do spawn are more heavily armed than ever before, thanks to new instability across the game’s regions.
This is a new event set up by Battlestate Games as the company begins ushering in the 1.1.0.0 update, which is poised to change the face of the spearhead extraction shooter yet again.
On August 3rd, the first Tarkov season will be introduced, dubbed Kord Breach. It’ll offer an entirely new way to play the game, and it’s coming in alongside stacks of other changes and improvements.
