Escape from Tarkov Adds Weekly Leagues That Can Demote Seasonal Players
Battlestate Games installed update 1.1.5.1 on September 15, adding a competitive League system for Escape from Tarkov's seasonal PvP characters. After your first raid you drop into a group of 50 players of your rank, sorted by weekly experience from kills, tasks, and item examines (Arena XP does not count). Each week the top 25 rank up, 15 hold, and the bottom 10 get demoted. The first time you reach a rank, its rewards are yours permanently even after a later demotion.
