New Tarkov Boss Teased As Next Wipe Draws Closer

New Tarkov Boss Teased As Next Wipe Draws Closer

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours invested in Tarkov, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation upon witnessing the unveiling of the new boss character, Partisan. The prospect of a PMC-hunting boss has been a topic of much speculation among the community, and now it seems our predictions are coming to fruition.


Battlestate Games has unveiled an image hinting at the potential new ‘boss character’ in Tarkov, named Partisan. On their social media platform, they shared a sneak peek of Partisan, an elderly yet formidable-looking combatant who seems prepared with a robust AK and what appears to be a grenade connected to a tripwire.

Certainly, this update brings to life the long-standing speculation about the introduction of a character in Escape from Tarkov who is known for setting up ambushes or traps for unaware players. This figure has been rumored for several months now.

Who is Partisan in Tarkov?

Beyond the information we can gather from his appearance, little is known about this individual known as Partisan. His image suggests he’s in his late fifties, and his attire hints at a proficiency in combat situations. He carries a robust AK-style assault rifle equipped with an underbarrel grenade launcher of the GP-type.

According to the picture, it’s highly probable that he can set up tripwire-triggered explosive devices. In his grasp, there appears to be a grenade connected to a long, slender cord, indicating that such a device is indeed prepared for use.

  1. Battlestate Games is making true to the promise to introduce traps
  2. Partisan is almost certainly the ‘PMC Hunter’ boss we’ve heard about in recent discussions

It’s been proposed that a PMC Karma system may debut during the next Tarkov reset, and this new boss will target players with ‘low karma,’ which is earned through actions like camping and using underhanded strategies. The specifics of how karma will be tallied or what factors will influence that tally are still unclear, but it adds another layer to the various gameplay elements that players engage in when they launch Escape from Tarkov.

What else do we know about Partisan in Tarkov?

It seems he has some influence over nature, with a bird resting comfortably on his hand. Is it possible that he’s using wildlife as a scout to detect PMCs from afar? In the scene, he’s hidden among foliage in a thick forest, and there’s a signpost indicating a minefield behind him – suggesting he’s on maps similar to Shoreline or Woods.

Additionally, he sports multiple dog tags dangling from his neck and carries both USEC and BEAR emblems on his pack, indicating a flexible allegiance with either faction.

The exact timing for the next EFT (Tarkov) wipe isn’t set yet, but we can anticipate it happening within the following fortnight.
