Over the past month, the Escape from Tarkov community has been in an uproar over the state of the game and the drama surrounding the new Unheard Edition that Battlestate Games announced in the latest patch notes.
Update on The Unheard Edition – Escape from Tarkov
Many players are typically against pay-to-win elements in video games, and in an unforgiving world like Tarkov, buying your way to victory is going to be felt in the worst way. With multiple different items, various character level boosts, and unique items with huge in-game benefits, the new Unheard Edition sets a bad precedent for the future of the franchise.
Moving forward, more decisions were made by the developers to appease the community, but ultimately, more fires were lit as the player base continued to demand change. If you’re not up to date on all the drama surrounding Escape from Tarkov, here’s everything you need to know.
On Thursday, April 25, the developers of Escape from Tarkov announced the launch of a new version of the game: the Unheard Edition. This edition offers players a ton of gear, resources, weapons, and a bunch of extras, such as bonus character levels, unique items, and even better status at Fences.
