The multiplayer tactical first-person shooter Escape from Tarkov wants to end the year with a bang with Patch 0.13.0.0. This update introduces new content, including a map, as well as some weapons and equipment.

A new map is added in the latest update for Escape from Tarkov, just situated at the intersection of Primorsky Avenue and Klimov Street. Most inhabitants had already left following the conflict between the USEC PMCs and PMC BEAR. The only people remaining are criminals and the poor, and they will do everything to take what's left of the city.

BEAR and USEC operatives must now do whatever they can to find their way out of Tarkov. The new map includes some key points of interest, including the news agency building, an abandoned factory, Pinewood Hotel, and Concordia Residential Complex.

Patch 0.13.0.0 also adds new weapons and equipment. The new SR-2M “Veresk” 9x21 is a submachine gun with a relatively lower rate of fire than other SMGs, but it does pack a punch. Players just have to control the recoil if they want to maximize this weapon, though.

Fans of the Steyr AUG rifles might want to get their hands on the new Steyr AUG A1 and A3 5.56x45 variants. These guns come with modifications that increase their magazine size to 10, 30, and 42 rounds, meaning players will have enough ammo to kill their enemies before reloading.

New Weapons
  • Added GP-25 "Kostyor" 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher for all AK family automatic rifles with a compatible barrel mount.
  • Added M203 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher for all AR-15 rifle family with appropriate barrel length and compatible handguards.
  • Added Glock 19X 9x19 with 19, 24, and 31-round magazines.
  • Added RSH-12 12.7x55 assault revolver.
  • Added new equipment.
New Skills
  • Added new skill: Light Armor
    • The skill progression reduces the penalty to mobility, wear of armor when repairing, and damage from melee weapons when struck in the armor.
  • Added new skill: Heavy Armor
    • The skill progression reduces the penalty to mobility, blunt damage to parts covered by the armor, and wear of armor when repairing.
  • Reworked Charisma
    • This skill's progression affects the price of insurance, paid extracts, replacement of operational tasks, price of the Scav Box, and the Therapist's healing services.

Escape from Tarkov Patch 0.13.0.0 is available on PC.
