Update: The full patch notes for update 0.13.0.2 can be found here.
Shortly after the recent weapon recoil and stamina tuning, Battlestate Games announced a new update coming tomorrow morning, on January 27. It seems that the game will receive further changes for the better, and everyone is looking forward to it. Per the announcement, the maintenance will last approximately 4 hours and will likely be extended if necessary. The game won’t be playable during this time.
The installation of update 0.13.0.2 will begin at 6 AM GMT/1 AM EST.
4 hours is an extended maintenance period, which could indicate yet another major update. If I were to guess, this update could be related to the fluidity and performance of the new Streets of Tarkov map, including an improvement to the binaural sound system. Furthermore, it could include a joyful satisfaction to some community-related demands.
Escape From Tarkov’s official Twitter profile has relayed the announcement for this update. As for the patch notes, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow. Shortly after the announcement, it was confirmed that the camera recoil had been reduced by 20% on all weapons.
Tomorrow, January 27, at 6AM GMT/1AM EST we are planning to install patch 0.13.0.2 . The installation will take approximately 4 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will not be accessible during this period.#EscapefromTarkov
