Escape From Tarkov Account Wipe coming with 0.11.7, Preliminary Patch Notes Revealed

One of the most realistic milsim shooters is about to wipe all the player’s accounts. This will clear all the player’s inventory and acquired weapons, alongside previously accomplished quests given by the game’s traders. The account wipe will occur with the release of patch 0.11.7. According to the preliminary patch notes, Escape From Tarkov will also include a bunch of new features and weapon arsenal.

The upcoming patch is still in preparation, according to Battlestate Games’ recent tweet. Even if the patch was scheduled to deploy at the beginning of the week, it will not deploy today. Considered as a big patch before the “Tsunami” arrives, the upcoming EFT patch will also optimize the performance of the game, fixing many issues such as game crashes and stutters.

All maps will receive changes individually, as well as the known Scavs, which Artificial Intelligence can be considered as “inappropriately high” sometimes. All of the Tarkov fans are very pleased with the listed changes, but never ruled out the possibility of having a bigger amount of improvements.

The patch will most likely develop on Tuesday, tomorrow, 9th of April. The preliminary 0.11.7 patch notes can be found below:
