Tomorrow, October 6 at 8:00 AM BST / 3:00 AM EDT we are planning to install patch 1.2.0.0 for #EscapefromTarkov. The installation will take between 5 and 7 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will be unavailable during this time. Official Escape from Tarkov website as well as Battlestate Games' Account center may be unavailable during this time.

Last time, we discussed the Lighthouse rework, and now it's time to talk about its main inhabitant. Many of you may have noticed that the Lightkeeper access task chain is currently inactive in Seasonal PvP mode - this is because it will be completely reworked with update 1.1.5.0. We know that the previous requirements for starting it felt like a series of barely connected tasks, both gameplay and story-wise. And then, the chain itself required finding an excessive number of rare items to complete. The upcoming changes will address this, making accessing Lightkeeper a more straightforward and intuitive process. After the update, the requirements for receiving the first task of the Lightkeeper access chain will look as follows: ● Unlock access to Lighthouse as part of the "Tour" storyline; ● Reach LL3 with all traders (except Fence and Ref); ● Ask Mechanic about working with Lightkeeper. This will become possible after unlocking access to Lighthouse. The tasks required to gain Lightkeeper access will be completely reworked - they will now focus more on testing the player's skill rather than repetitive, similar objectives. Furthermore, the Lightkeeper’s own tasks will also be adjusted, making their objectives better align with the new format of side tasks introduced in update 1.1.0.0. #EscapefromTarkov
