Escape from Tarkov’s Next Major Change Could Drastically Alter How Bosses Work

by

Enthusiasts of Escape from Tarkov are fully immersed in the Labyrinth, a fresh map introduced unexpectedly during the recent in-game event. This map has been hailed as one of Battlestate Games’ finest achievements, and while it presents a formidable challenge, it has garnered widespread approval among the player community.

After the successful launch of the Labyrinth event, the next significant shift in Escape from Tarkov might take a completely unexpected and rather radical turn. It appears unlikely that this would be a prank for April Fool’s Day.

Bold Changes

On the Tarkov forum last week, user ‘my89user’ offered an idea about how the bosses and loot in the game could be managed. They suggested a system where specific maps would have a 100% boss spawn rate for a few days, then move to another map, creating a rotating schedule.

Additionally, they suggested the inclusion of ‘heated treasure’ map rotations too. Every week, a specific map might see a 50% boost in the availability of high-value loot.

As a gamer, I aim to strategically choose my gameplay areas, hoping that action-packed Player versus Player (PvP) arenas and high Experience Points (XP) hotspots become magnetized for other combatants seeking intense battles. Simultaneously, this decision also leads me to less populated maps where the risk of encountering tough bosses or heavily geared players decreases, creating a more serene gaming experience.

Surprisingly, the ‘Lead of Game Design’ accepted the suggestion as ‘Planned’ and said:

Good idea, I think we will do it after the ‘Labyrinth’

441 votes were obtained for the proposal prior to its approval by the team at Battlestate Games, and the overall response was generally favorable.

Currently, Escape from Tarkov finds itself in a transitional phase. While it’s true that there are ongoing issues with cheating in the game, the incredible popularity of the Labyrinth event has managed to divert player attention momentarily.

In about two months, it seems we’re gearing up for another server wipe in Tarkov. However, that doesn’t impact me personally since I primarily play the Player vs Environment (PvE) mode… Of course, I’m aware of that fact.

Would you consider this alteration beneficial for Escape from Tarkov? Feel free to share your thoughts below in the comments, or post them on the TopMob forum.
