Extraction shooters Escape from Tarkov on Steam: Patch 1.2.0.0

Tarkov 1.2.0.0 Brings Six Prestige Levels to PvE and Makes PMC Bots Team Up

Battlestate Games shipped Escape from Tarkov patch 1.2.0.0 on October 6. PvE Zone gets Prestige: six levels that reset your PvE profile while keeping up to 50% of skills and weapon mastery, with an easier first tier than PvP. PvE PMC bots now spawn at raid start on every map including The Labyrinth, scale gear to their level, team up USEC with BEAR more often, and pick fights with Scavs and bosses.

Discussion Topics

  1. Would you voluntarily reset your PvE character for a Gamma container skin and 50% of your skills?
  2. PMC bots that ally with each other and ignore player Scavs: harder raids or smarter ones?
  3. EXFIL Brothers pays veterans per recruit. Is that a mentoring program or a pyramid scheme with dogtags?
  4. Should PvP get the bot rework too, or keep it PvE only?
