Escape From Tarkov 0.15.5.0 Changelog

Escape From Tarkov 0.15.5.0 Changelog

As a longtime Escape From Tarkov player, I must say that today’s TarkovTV previews have left me both excited and slightly bewildered. On one hand, the addition of winter camouflages is a much-needed breath of fresh air for those of us who’ve been trudging through the digital Siberian tundra in our urban gear. The Customs map upgrade brings a sense of familiarity back to one of the game’s original maps, and I can’t wait to see how the new recoil visuals will change the way we approach automatic firefights.


In the update 0.15.5.0 of Escape from Tarkov, you’ll find a multitude of significant enhancements to gameplay experience, which gamers have been asking for quite some time.

The success of this update wouldn’t have been achievable without the September-published roadmap. Originally, we aimed to transition to Unity 2022 with version 0.15.4.0, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen as planned.

The Tarkov update 0.15.5.0 has arrived, yet the anticipated new engine remains absent; developers confirm its introduction will now occur in update 0.16.0.0.

Initially, the developers aimed to transition in May 2023, but the unexpected debacle concerning Unity runtime fees caused them to postpone their plans.

The Halloween 0.15.5.0 Patch Notes Explained

Escape From Tarkov 0.15.5.0 Changelog

Today, the popular game “Escape From Tarkov” received its standard Halloween update. Overlooking the lack of Unity 2022, this update brings significant ease to players managing full storage spaces or crowded inventories.

Matching Inventory Management

Players can now access their inventory, quest interface, and the Flea Market during the load-up phase for raids, streamlining the process of organizing items before the next gameplay session.

The system right now only handles the server-based aspect of matching, but we’re optimistic that it will eventually encompass the entire process.

Achievements Have Permanent Rewards

From this update onwards, instead of being based on completed quests during this reset period, some rewards will now be connected to your character’s profile accomplishments.

In simpler terms, if you’ve previously achieved the “Master of ULTRA” title in any server reset (wipe), and you no longer have trader restrictions, then the Adik Tracksuit, often loved by Tarkov Gopnik, is now accessible to you.

Stash Management Tools

With the addition of Pin and Lock features, our auto-sort tool is now more practical than ever. These options allow items within your stash or secure containers to be fixed at a specific location, while the Pin function also enables manual rearrangement.

Fall is Here

According to the recently implemented seasonal system, the game’s settings have been updated to reflect autumn. This implies that the terrain is now wet and muddied, making footsteps louder. Be aware of this when moving stealthily on the Woods map.

Map Travel Makes Sense

When navigating different regions using the travel map, you’ll find yourself appearing near the corresponding entry point in your next destination, making it more convenient for frequent users.

New Shotgun and Attachments

Escape From Tarkov 0.15.5.0 Changelog

In simpler terms, the tight spaces have become quite frightening due to the introduction of two versions of the MPS AA-12 shotgun. This high-powered 12 gauge weapon is known for its rapid fire rate and the availability of drum magazines, positioning it as the top predator in its class.

With the addition of new rail mounts, the bipods that were launched in the last update can now be used with a majority of firearms.

European gunsmiths are thrilled to learn that the G36, SCAR, and AUG rifles now boast numerous innovative accessories for enhanced personalization. Additionally, the AUG A3 model has been introduced in a sleek black finish.

Bug Fixes

As with any early access game, even a perpetual one like Escape From Tarkov, patches mean fixes.

0.15.5.0 addresses several issues in the enhanced Factory map’s cellar for DLSS users, such as water artifacts, excessive weapon weight at the flea market, remaining geometry problems, and dog tags failing to display the player’s name when an enemy dies from a single shot.

A Tarkov Halloween Event

Escape From Tarkov 0.15.5.0 Changelog

It falls upon you to investigate the origin of a mysterious outbreak at The Lab’s isolation unit, as Jaeger ominously hints that it’s causing people to become infected and behave erratically.

Engaging in a task connected with The Lab can be just as exciting as observing paint dry, given its exceptionally steep learning curve. However, if the temporary removal of the keycard access is implemented, it might draw in more casual players and add some variety to the experience.

Today’s TarkovTV Previews

Escape From Tarkov 0.15.5.0 Changelog

Following the update, the developers moved on to Twitch for their regular broadcast, Tarkov TV. During this session, they showcased some new features, an updated version of a well-known map, and a debatable alteration in the shooting mechanism.

Winter Camouflages

Ever since the game’s latest update unveiled the new seasonal system, I can’t help but feel a strong longing among fellow players for winter camouflage. The existing selection seems to cater more towards urban landscapes and dense greenery, leaving us with limited options when braving the snow-covered battlefields.

A few gamers discovered that the light desert attire was sufficient, though far from perfect. However, this issue is expected to be addressed when they eventually incorporate authentic winter clothing and gear.

Customs Upgrade

Escape From Tarkov 0.15.5.0 Changelog

Following renovations at both the Factory and Shoreline locations earlier in the year, BSG is now focusing on enhancing the Customs map. Although the extent of adjustments isn’t as extensive as with Factory, the updated lighting and textures ensure it remains comparable.

New Recoil Visuals

The only item in the showcase to get a negative response from viewers was the new recoil visual depiction.

Using automatic fire causes the iron sights to lose their alignment due to sideways recoil, making them less effective. Consequently, this situation often highlights the benefits of using red dot or holographic sights instead.

Amongst the Escape From Tarkov gaming community, recoil is a sensitive issue, and any potential adjustments are met with resistance.

New Boomsticks Coming

Escape From Tarkov 0.15.5.0 Changelog

After wandering undisturbed for several months, the BTR-82A in Tarkov’s Woods and Streets has finally encountered its counterpart. The game will soon introduce the one-time use RPG-26 rocket launcher, equipped with a HEAT warhead that causes trouble for both armored vehicles and infantry.

After a significant number of years, the game is introducing just its second rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, the Finnish SAKO TGR M10, specifically designed for those working remotely.

In addition to refining the SIG MPX submachine gun, BSG is planning to equip both AR-15 systems and the Uzi with 100-round magazine drums.

The Prestige

Once they finish an undetermined future mission, players’ profiles and dog tags will display their Prestige level, although the specifics of the presentation are still being worked out.

EFT: Arena Gets MVP, Grenades, And Fort Map

Escape From Tarkov 0.15.5.0 Changelog

At the start of the event, the competitor known as EFT: Arena received some attention. This included the introduction of the Fort map, improvements in MVP dynamics, and the introduction of two new types of grenades – the compact V40 mini-grenade and the M18 yellow smoke grenade.
