Battlestate Games has taken Escape from Tarkov offline to roll out the 1.1.5.0 update, which introduces the huge Lighthouse map overhaul, among other things.
As with all Escape from Tarkov updates, the game has been pulled down in its entirety, blocking both PvP and PvE players from accessing it for several hours. Read on to learn when Escape from Tarkov is coming back online today following the 1.1.5.0 update.
When is Tarkov Back Online Today?
Battlestate Games has advised players that the 1.1.5.0 update will take around five to seven hours to deploy, and it started rolling out the update at 8 AM BST / 3 AM EDT.
This means that Escape from Tarkov should be online by the following times today:
- 1 PM – 3 PM BST
- 8 AM – 10 AM EDT
- 4 AM – 6 AM PDT
- 1 PM – 3 PM CEST
As always, the team has advised that the maintenance window could be extended if needed, which is typical for Escape from Tarkov updates. You should always expect a delay, unfortunately.
Escape from Tarkov 1.1.5.0 Patch Explained
The 1.1.5.0 patch introduces a substantial overhaul for the Lighthouse map, adding new points of interest, relocating the Rogue enemy faction, mixing up PMC spawns, and changing the loot pool. It also adds the BTR to the map, introduces a new task chain, removes all landmines, and adds a bunker complex to the mountainous area.
Lightkeeper access has been updated, his tasks have been rebalanced, and the map’s marked room has moved to his island.
This patch also changes how you access Icebreaker, the game’s newest map. You don’t need to pay rubles now, but you do need a Sudak-tudak repair kit for one-time access. Oh, and you can access the hovercraft from both Shoreline and Lighthouse.
