Location features a large number of infrastructure facilities of the modern city: banks, cafes, restaurants, stores, pharmacies, and so on. All this is towered by the skyscrapers of Tarkov. In the very center of the location is the main Russian branch office of TerraGroup, where the original conflict began. The most violent clashes between USEC PMC operatives and OMON took place on the facility’s premises.

  • The location is intended for beginner players from level 1 to 20;
  • PMCs of higher levels (20+) will not be able to access the location;
  • Scavs will have access to the location at any player level;
  • New starter quests have been added to the location;
  • Visual cues for new players have been added to the location;
  • Quests “Debut”, “Checking” (renamed to “Background Check”), “Shortage”, “Supplier”, “Gunsmith – Part 1” received updated text descriptions.

New Boss – Kollontay

A new boss Kollontay has been added to Streets of Tarkov. He is a former officer of the MVD (Ministry of Internal Affairs), during his service in law enforcement he had a reputation as a vile man, whose behavior was sometimes feared by his coworkers. During his work, he often resorted to his favorite method of interrogation – a rubber baton, as well as other non-statutory pressure on someone who was not to his liking. Thanks to his physical strength and bold temperament, after the events of the TerraGroup scandal, he formed a gang and began to do what he himself was recently supposed to combat – looting and banditry. However, even before the conflict, he often provided protection to local “businessmen”. For example, his good relations with Kaban are well-known.

Kollontay has a small number of guards, prefers to stay in one position and occasionally patrols his territory. If he feels he has the upper hand, he may switch to his police baton. He lives in the area around Klimov Shopping Mall and the Tarkov Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Kaban’s new guards

Boss Kaban is joined by his closest associates, Basmach and Gus. Since the time of Kaban’s active involvement in business, they have served as his loyal associates, solving many delicate issues for him. Their loyal service and their exuberant character made them his most trusted confidants. In their spare time, these two “dandies” liked to dress up at Ragman’s place and organize illegal street races through the streets of Tarkov in tuned cars from Kaban’s dealership.

Basmach and Gus always stay close to Kaban and charge into battle for him. They prefer their unique clothes to their battle gear, though there are occasional exceptions. Basmach has a special fondness for machetes, and Gus for crowbars.

    • “Loop” – How many and which cartridges will be cycled in the magazine/belt; 
    • “Bottom” – How many and which cartridges will be at the bottom of the magazine/belt, i.e. which cartridges will be last.

Escape From Tarkov

Battlestate Games is developing Escape from Tarkov, designed for Windows computers. Set in the fictional Russian locale of Norvinsk, the game depicts a war between two factions: United Security (USEC) and Battle Encounter Assault Regiment (BEAR). Players engage in “raids,” confronting real players and AI to acquire valuable items and strive for survival and escape.

Commencing closed testing on July 27, 2017, Escape from Tarkov falls under the category of a first-person shooter, promoting online multiplayer interaction. Nikita Buyanov leads the development at Battlestate Games, overseeing both the game and its music production, achieved through the Unity computer program.

Escape From Tarkov Gameplay

Escape From Tarkov immerses players in a harsh survival experience. Choose between a soldier (PMC) or a Scavenger, scavenge gear, and engage in offline practice. Each raid places you on a map, challenging you to reach the other side for escape. However, it’s no easy feat – face off against both players and AI enemies. Discovering valuable weapons is crucial, yet death means losing everything. Insurance can aid in recovering lost gear.

The game offers a hands-off approach, providing minimal on-screen information. As a Scavenger, receive random gear for ongoing raids, with a cooldown before the next entry. Between raids, trade loot, buy equipment, and complete tasks to unlock better items. Expect realistic combat with in-depth weapon customization, health management, and monitoring energy and hydration levels.
