Escape From Tarkov Latest Update Fixes a Long-Existing Issue and Allows D2 Campers To Have Fun Again

Escape From Tarkov it’s slowly getting in its third month since the wipe, and the developer has decided to surprise the fans with a brand new update that seemingly fixes a plethora of issues. Titled as update 0.12.12.15.3, it also takes care of a long-existing issue that allows players to return quest items or full containers. How many of you have returned a Pilgrim full of items to Ragman?

Furthermore, this update fixes an issue with shotguns not dealing damage and an infinite loading screen issue when loading into a raid as a Scav. Another essential change in this update is removing the ability to look through the bunker walls on Reserve, which means D2 campers will thrive again. I mean, once I swore not to go there, but you cannot miss the fun, right?

Without further ado, you can check the complete patch notes below:
