Extraction shooters Escape from Tarkov

Tarkov's 1.1.5.0 Rebuilds Lighthouse and Reshuffles the Lightkeeper Grind

Battlestate Games released Escape from Tarkov patch 1.1.5.0 on September 8. It reworks the Lighthouse map and changes the Lightkeeper questline, the endgame trader tied to some of the game's best rewards. Battlestate also confirmed the next update, 1.2.0.0, lands in late September or early October with a PvE focus: smarter bot AI, prestige, and raid reconnection. The current Kord Breach season runs until December 7.

  1. Lighthouse rework: overdue fix, or another map you have to relearn from scratch?
  2. Seasonal characters instead of hard wipes: good for Tarkov, or the end of its identity?
  3. Does prestige in 1.2.0.0 give burned-out players a reason to come back?
  4. Bot AI upgrades: will Scavs finally feel fair, or just cheaper deaths?
