Escape from Tarkov gets new map and new weapons – But fans celebrate a simple gadget

Der Hardcore-Shooter Escape from Tarkov gets new content. The trailer for the latest patch 0.12.12 shows a new map, many new weapons and some lovely details for weapon nerds. The fan base is particularly happy about a simple gadget. MeinMMO tells you what it’s about.

The Russian hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov is still in beta, but has built up a large and loyal fan base since 2017. This is also due to the unique gameplay offered to players in Escape from Tarkov: It is so different from most shooters that it is even difficult to assign a clear genre to the game.

With the next patch, the game will get one of the biggest content updates in its history. Many new weapons, attachments and gadgets can be seen in the announcement trailer, as well as a large new map. But it is precisely the small features in the trailer that give the fans the greatest pleasure.

What’s the new map? The new map in Escape from Tarkov is probably called ‘The Lighthouse.’ The trailer shows many different zones from the map, at different times of the day: In addition to the coast with the eponymous lighthouse, a large forest and an industrial zone can also be seen.

Rangefinder is the highlight in the Tarkov community

The highlight from the trailer seems to be a comparatively small feature for the Tarkov fans: the rangefinder. With this high-tech yardstick, players can quickly find out how far away an opponent is. This helps snipers in particular to find their shots easier.

This inconspicuous gadget from the trailer delights Tarkov fans more than any new weapon

On reddit, the joy of the fans is shown above all by the fact that several of the most popular comments write the rangefinder entirely in capital letters. reddit user Koogei1998 tries to put these emotions into words: “I was just about to say how much I’m looking forward to the range finder. It’s so unnecessary, but so cool at the same time ”(via reddit).

It is currently unclear how far the release date is from the patch. Developer Battlestate Games has not given a date.
