A small Escape From Tarkov patch was released yesterday, which mainly contained fixes for some issues that had arisen over the past few weeks, but it appears there was an undocumented change that will disappoint many players. Shortly after the release of the latest patch, players of the controversial PvE mode noticed a significant drop in loot levels in key areas, even though the patch still has many issues.
On social media and community sites like Reddit, players have reported that loot levels have been significantly worse in high-value areas such as lab rooms and marked rooms that are locked with keycards. The KIBA weapon shop in the Interchange has also gone from having a wall full of weapons to only having one or two weapons for players to loot.
Though the patch notes didn't list any changes, it appears that loot levels in Tarkov's PvE mode have been toned down, with some saying they're now in line with what's seen in the PvP mode. There is also speculation that the change that allowed AI PMCs to collect loot as they move around the map may be a factor in reducing the loot, but this doesn't explain why locked rooms have lower loot levels if the AI doesn't have the ability to move it. Locked doors.
Overall, this appears to be an undocumented change from Tarkov that reduces loot levels, but this could be a response to a bug that allowed PvE players to freely join empty raids and loot. This was ruined the economy because the player continued to raid with almost no death and gained a great value of a great value.
It is unlikely that the loot level will return to the PVE mode state. This is because almost all cards have a lot of high -level loot, so the progress of the quest and the progress of the mode cocket were slightly pampered. It seems like a good choice to align with PvP, but considering the feedback from PvE fans in the last 24 hours, it seems that many players would like a return to higher loot levels. Some issues are still unresolved. For the PvE mode, it would not be surprising if another patch is rolled out in the coming days that could bring further changes to PvE loot levels, hopefully improve performance, and fix other issues. In the meantime, it is unlikely that the option to purchase the mode will be added, and many fans of the standard edition of Tarkov are still waiting for it.
