Escape From Tarkov’s tripwire update patchnotes are out, referencing weapon mounting, bipods, Deagle, Uzi, and more

Escape From Tarkov‘s hotly anticipated patch 0.15 is now out, and the official patch notes are available as well if you are inclined to check them out. We’ve got a concrete list of all new guns and gun-related features listed in the notes, for one, so it’s an interesting read.

Escape From Tarkov‘s patch 0.15 has been a long time coming, featuring a rework of the game’s very first map, a new Karma system for keeping track of the players’ in-game “honor,” a boss that spawns depending on the players’ Karma, the ability to travel from one location to the next using loading zones, and – of course – the tripwires themselves. Tripwires alone would’ve been a meta-defining feature, but they’re coming out as part of a fairly substantial content update that is impressive in every sense of the word. Be sure to check out the trailer below.

, but if you’re only interested in a short and to-the-point overview of what’s what, I’ve got you covered:

• Factory rework (featuring new areas, redesigned old areas, adjusted spawns, and more)
• Partisan hunter-type boss, which stalks players, sets up traps, etc.
• Hidden parameter: Karma
• Traveling from one in-game level to another
• Tripwire installation kit item, allowing you to turn any grenade into a tripwire
• Bipods and weapon-mounting
• Gear Rack for the Hideout
• Cultist Circle for the Hideout
• Improved PvE AI behavior via the new enemy reaction system
• IWI UZI SMG (three variants)
• SR-3M assault rifle
• Magnum Research Desert Eagle (five variants)
• US Ordnance M60 light machine gun (three variants)
• Updated various weapon models (AS weapon family, PP weapon family)
• Various new weapon attachments
• Smooth scope zoom functionality
• New grenades, armor, and other assorted loot

This is, on🎃ce again, just a broad overview of the most important improvements and additions of update 0.15. For those who are into the nitty-gritty of the new bu🐲ild, I highly recommend checking out the full patch notes using the link above.

As for myself, though? I’m still collecting all those Pokémon cards back in SPT-AKI. It’s going to take a fair few months before the single-player Tarkov mod reaches parity with Battlestate Games’ official update, so don’t expect to see any real movement on that front anytime soon. Yet, a back-porting of guns to the current version of SPT-AKI is bound to happen in relatively short order, so it’s not a total wash. Gotta wonder, though: are the modded bots going to be able to put down tripwires? If so… we’re in trouble. Here’s hoping Sulfur is on the horizon, at least!
