Escape from Tarkov will receive several changes in the June update that are meant to have a positive impact on the game. One aspect could determine life and death.
What kind of update is this? The extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov has received its major patch 0.16.7.0, the June update. It is part of a series of updates leading up to the release of version 1.0.
The most striking new feature is the change of seasons – just like in our real world, it is now summer in the game as well. This offers visual variety. However, what may be more important to players are the rest of the changes that are intended to further improve the shooter.
Particularly regarding sound, players should pay close attention.
More immersion through better sound
What does the update bring? The centerpiece of the patch is the improved sound system of the game. It has been expanded and enhanced to increase immersion even more.
Sounds heard in the game are expected to sound generally better. This is especially true for sounds produced behind an obstacle such as rocks, vehicles, or walls. In Escape from Tarkov, accurate listening is vital for survival. Those who can perceive an opponent through the soundscape have a clear advantage and can better protect their own life and loot.
The artificial intelligence of opponents has also been improved. Bots are now better at opening doors and interfere less in boss fights. Smaller issues with the AI have also been resolved.
Additionally, there are some further improvements aimed at making the game more enjoyable – such as the ability to find items in the inventory using a search field. Graphics issues and several other technical aspects have also been addressed by the developers.
The exact patch notes can be found on the official website of the game.
