Patch 0.12.9 Patchnotes

December 23, 2020

Escapers, here are the patch notes for update 0.12.9, Planned for tomorrow, December 24th:

THERE WILL BE A WIPE

Tomorrow, at 11.00 Moscow time, we plan to start installing update 0.12.9. It will take about 4 hours, but can be extended if necessary.

Added and changed:

“Woods” expansion.
Reworked PMC initial gear sets.
Added customization of head and voice when creating character: for now it’s only two new heads for each faction added. You can’t change head and voice after the character is created. You will be able to do it only after profile reset or wipe.
Added skill “Immunity”.
Reworked “Metabolism”.
Reduced the volume of steps and interaction with vegetation.
Added chance to cause bleedings to the ammunition. Now some ammo can cause heavy or light bleeding more often than other rounds.
Now some face shields and glasses will reduce the time of blindness effect from flashbang rounds and grenades.
Players will be receiving letters with a supply package for the first 7 days of playing.
Added “All” button in the purchasing menu when buying from dealers via Flea market. Now you can select all available items with a single click.
Filters in the W-List tab are now modified separately and do not affect other Flea market tabs.
“Enter” button now confirms the action in most dialogue windows.
Slot highlighting when dragging items in your inventory can now be turned off.
Equipped armbands are now unlootable and can’t be lost upon death.
The letter with the reward for the exit in cooperation with the scav will now come with a slight delay.
Containers will apply restriction filters to mods installed on the transported object. I.e., putting a mount with a thermal sight installed on it into a secured container is no longer allowed.
New equipment and clothing is added: PMC tops and bottoms, body armor, rigs, Smoke balaclava, and tops for the Scavs.
Changed the characteristics of a large number of weapon mods.
Simplified the Jaeger quests.
Updated some quests: changed execution conditions, starting conditions, rewards.
Reduced bonus of recoil reduction from the recoil control skill and weapon relates practical skills.

WHY WIPE?

This patch doesn't justify enough to declare a wipe.

I'm guessing there will be wipe again with streets of tarkov update.

Can we just get this patch without one?

What's the point I mean look at the changes there is literally no need for it

@ShiroTenshi

Is this x-mass joke?

December 23, 2020

Well, that sucks. I don't like the wipe with no notice thing... At least give us a week or two heads up before a wipe.

I'm not looking forward to totally starting over from level 1. Seems like a pain in the ass, to be honest. Not really happy about this. And on Christmas? Why??

cause its been way too long without a wipe, and a map rework and new guns is going to probably the biggest update we will see in the next 3 months or so, so its a good time to wipe

December 23, 2020

What about RAID ep 5?

The plan is to drop the 12.9 update tomorrow in the morning MSK time.

That is really for the DEVs to decide, not the players. With the amount of changes that affect how the game plays, specially the changes to how weapon modding affects the stats of the weapons then this is more then justified in my opinion.
