New Content

Streets of Tarkov

  • This update adds a part of the city of Tarkov, located at the intersection of Primorsky Avenue and Klimov Street. This part of the location contains an abandoned factory, Pinewood Hotel, news agency building, Concordia residential complex, car dealership, Terracot Business Center, cinema, Sparzha supermarket, and other objects of urban infrastructure. This is the first part of the work on the city and later the location will be expanded.

Repair Kits and Enhancements

  • Rare enhancements can only be applied at the elite level of the corresponding skill.
  • The chance and strength of a normal standard enhancement depend on the level of the corresponding skill.
  • For body armor and plate carriers, the enhancement reduces the damage a character receives.
  • Weapons can have two kinds of enhancements at the same time. The first is a decrease in malfunction chance, and the second is an accuracy increase.
  • The enhancement is effective within a certain range of the item's technical condition (or armor points) and will be removed in case of another repair.
  • The enhancement and its value affect the value of the item - the selling price, insurance, Flea Market fee.
  • The Intelligence skill now affects the number of repair points that will be spent on repairs.
  • Now the value of the removed max durability of an item when repairing via repair kits depends on the corresponding skill. For weapons, it is Weapon Maintenance. For armor, it is Light Armor and Heavy Armor. For other items with durability points, it is Intelligence.

Skills

Light Armor (New)

  • The skill progression reduces the penalty to mobility, wear of armor when repairing and damage from melee weapons when struck in the armor.

Heavy Armor (New)

  • The skill progression reduces the penalty to mobility, blunt damage to parts covered by the armor and wear of armor when repairing.

Charisma (Rework)

  • This skill's progression affects the price of insurance, paid extracts, replacement of operational tasks, price of the Scav Box and Therapist's healing services.

Weapons and Equipment

  • Added GP-25 "Kostyor" 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher for all AK family automatic rifles with a compatible barrel mount.
  • Added M203 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher for all AR-15 rifle family with appropriate barrel length and compatible handguards.

Co-Op PvE Expansion

  • Weather condition options
  • Time configuration

Hideout

  • Added two new upgrade levels for the shooting range. The new levels allow you to set up a variety of shooting targets, including moving targets and use the training program to improve your shooting accuracy.

New Stimulants

Obdolbos 2

  • A syringe with a homemade drug, developed by Sanitar. A new version of the old classic. Looks like TerraGroup Labs' experiments did not end with the closure of TerraGroup Labs itself.

SJ12 TGLabs

  • Developed for the operatives of special units. Slows down some functions of the body and they temporarily start working with energy regeneration. The drug forces the release of vasopressin in the hypothalamus, which leads to a change in the work of the adrenal glands, lowers body temperature and increases perception. After the end of the action, there is usually a jump in temperature to 40-42 degrees as compensation for the incorrect functioning of the body systems.

Perfotoran (Blue Blood)

  • A blood substitute with the function of oxygen transfer, used as a powerful antidote capable of relieving toxins, poisons and radiation damage. It was developed by Soviet scientists in the 1980s. It is a submicron emulsion based on PFO compounds. Once in the blood, it temporarily speeds up the metabolism and regenerates tissues. Negatively affects health in case of overdose or rejection.

Trimadol

  • An opioid synthetic analgesic developed for special forces operatives. It has a central and spinal cord action (promotes the opening of K+ and Ca2+ channels, causes hyperpolarization of membranes and inhibits the conduction of pain impulses). In addition to the analgesic effect, it increases combat characteristics. Overdose leads to exhaustion of the body after the effects wear off.

PNB (Product 16)

  • A combat stimulant. Developed by TerraGroup Labs, labeled PNB. Allows a short-term activation of the inner muscles, bringing them into a state of hypertonicity, which in turn reduces the received damage. At the same time, there is an active synthesis of proteins for accelerated tissue regeneration. Used for the expansion of the organism abilities at the key moment of the combat. Allowed for use by Special Forces. Has some side effects.

Voicelines

New Voices for Bosses

  • Killa
  • Tagilla
  • Knight
  • Birdeye
  • Big Pipe

  • Some recipes for crafting in the Hideout will become available as a reward for completing specific quests.
  • A new type of extraction is available on Streets of Tarkov, to activate it you will need to fire a green flare cartridge in the area before the exit, otherwise you will be shot by snipers when approaching the exit.
