0.12.11.0 Patch Notes!

[tobiassolem]

Dear friends! We present the Escape from Tarkov 0.12.11 full patch notes.

Please report any found bugs via the launcher by pressing the "Report bug" button.

Added:

• “Factory” expansion.
• New scav boss Tagilla. Killa’s brother. He’s chosen “Factory” as a place of his own and actively exercises his past sports and combat experience. When in close combat he may switch to his favorite weapon - a sledgehammer. When someone gets hit by it, the best case scenario would be disorientation and broken bones, but usually it will cause inevitable death. The boss can set ambushes, open suppressive fire, and breach if needed.
   
• First iteration of weapon malfunctions and technical deteriorating
  • You can now have a misfire on almost every gun in the game
  • Misfire can be resolved in different ways. Not only via the “Resolve” hotkey (Shift+T by default), but also by any bolt related manipulations
  • We reworked the technical condition of the guns and their deterioration from firing. Certain ammunition and weapon mods will affect the deterioration speed. We added a new stat in the inspector menu called “Durability burn” which will show that.
  • Different ammo now has increased or decreased chances of misfires.
  • Technical condition of weapon influences on base accuracy, offset of the center point of impact and general misfire chance.
  • We also added NVIDIA Reflex support. And decreased ingame input lag.
     
• Fence reputation. Being the representation of Scav karma. Now players can lose reputation by killing non-hostile scavs and gain it by helping scavs and scav bosses to kill their enemy. You can also gain Fence reputation by using “a friendly scav” exfil or by using car exfil.
   
• What Fence reputation level will affect:
  • Player-scav cooldown, scavbox “craft” time, amount of exfils for the player-scav, car extract fee, player-scav kit, and the prices when selling items to Fence.
  • The higher Fence reputation is - the more often AI-scavs will agree to help player-scav and respond to his commands (Follow, hold position). With very low reputation AI scavs will attack player-scav. With very high levels of reputation AI-scavs will help by attacking player-scavs’ enemies, and bosses will be considered allies.
  • Players will be able to purchase uninsured items lost by other players by reaching Fence’s max loyalty level.
     
• Sorting table - additional expandable space, which will be of a great help when organizing the stash.
  • Sorting table is not supposed to be used for storage, but only as a temporary buffer zone.
  • It will be available only when out of raid and it has no size limitations.
  • You will be able to open the sorting table by clicking the icon in the bottom of the stash.
  • You can quickly put items on the sorting table by pressing Shift + left mouse click hotkey combination. This hotkey will work only when the sorting table is opened.
     
• Full rework of in-game ballistics parameters for objects on all locations (penetration chances, bullet deviation and fragmentation).
• New equipment, several body armor vests, chest rigs, backpacks and other items.
• New weapons.
• New quests.
• New barter items.
• New PMC face customization options.
• New weapon mods.
• Ability to report a suspicious player in the flea market.
   
• Special player status “Streamer”. It will hide various user information from the game client. You can activate this status on the main page of the game settings. This setting will be available only by personal requests. More details on how you can submit a request will be given later.
   
• Out of raid voice commands settings.
• “Top-up” option of the context menu. This option will allow you to fill the stack of items by items of the same kind.This option will not mix items with FIR(Found in raid) status with non FIR items.
• New main menu background.
• New skill "Weapon maintenance".
• New skill "Troubleshooting".
• TAA anti-aliasing at weapon presets menu.
• First iteration of the EN localization rework.
• Maximum level of character changed to 79.
  
   

Changed:
 

• Optics rework.
   
• The aiming camera will now always be at an equal distance from the weapon. The distance does not depend on the sight installed and the way it is mounted on the gun: on the receiver, on the handguard, etc. The change affects mechanical and collimator sights. Including those used in hybrid sights.
   
• Added a limit on the number of items put on the flea market in one lot. Now the size of the pack of items in the lot can not exceed the size of the stash.
• The flea market is now accessible on level 20.
• The Kappa quest is now more difficult to complete.
• Several quest rewards have changed (some have been improved).
• Changed and rebalanced spawn chances for most of the items.
• Rebalanced weapon mods in terms of fighting the “meta” presets.
• Rebalanced the availability of top-tier ammunition and gear.
• Reduced the “Strength” skill bonuses for movement speed.
• Increased the levelling speed of “Mag drills” skill.
• Redone the lightning of the game interface objects.
• Updated the ingame map for “Woods”.
  
   

Fixed:

• Totally silent movement of Shturman and his guards.
• The player hung on a blank screen after pressing the "Back" button on the treatment screen after a raid.

• The difference in the actions of the character when switching between pressing and holding the keys.
• Strong and weak grenade throws now work the same way: held down by the key, thrown by releasing the key, and this does not depend on the aiming key settings.
• Mods locked behind a quest did not unlock on the purchase screen for presets even after completing the quest.
• The consumption rate of the air filter was higher than supposed to.

Honest question, will this fix the fragmentation bug on low penetration bullets ?

I feel you. Wish they add more late wipe content, more tasks, regular events, etc. It's going to be boring in 2 weeks again and every streamer gonna be crying for wipe before the month is over with.

Also I found an mk-47, it's a nice gun but haven't got to mod it yet so I don't know if it's going to be better than the .308 MDR.

People would have certainly found it by now unless BSG has made it a high trader rep only or have not enable it to spawn, both of which are unlikely

i put my bets on it being high trader rep, because they did the same thing when the MK-18 was added, only later was it added to be FIR

Nikita might make it an event thing since he knows just how much people want it. Like for example make it so Peacekeeper tells you that there is new shipment of arms you need to mark on a map, you mark it and then you can buy it, it also starts spawning after the event

[djbofke]

nothin about the bushes ?

[oshke]

You say "Kappa quest is now more difficult to complete", but you don't say how. You say "new weapons added", but you don't say which. What's the point of the patch notes then?? 

[Darkmonkeyboy]

Is it me or patch notes very lack luster ? I mean I love the factory expansion and boss, and karma system ....ok sure but won't affect me. Was expecting some gems to be listed as seemed like bsg was hiding something that wanted to keep secret untill patch notes released, yet I don't see much more than what we already know. When it says new guns/ equipment added this is what I'm interested in, maybe details what guns was added as currently having hard time leveling up, do I expect to see the scar / mutant ? 

Been playing little over 4 years, imo seems less exited I been and always love the wipe cycle. I find myself even now just cba to load into raid , slow servers matching, still cheaters shooting through walls, even use to love this game for making money ,would spend hours buying and selling items, now LV20, my passion is slipping 

[useak74]

did they mention that all bushes now slow you down?

[DBJ_9080]

awesome patch, thank you for wiping!

Be aware to those thorny bush roses.

[H4zeMnesia]

new quests? Kill 52 scav with a red caps? Or kill 27 scav with sun glasses? Or maybe kill 19 scav with red pants?

Would've been nice to know what these weapons are.

So far I've only come across the MP-155.

[EvilTheViolator]

Ohh what a big secret to discovery! LOL

[ReveralX]

 NVIDIA Reflex feature makes such a gigantic difference. Thank you for that.
With it on, I finally feel like i am in control of my character. I even see it on gun movement animation. It wobbles much less during moving my hipfiire view.
I felt like gun movement was delayed when i point my view somewhere else. Now it is realy fast and crisp movement

Some of the notes are left intentionally vague, as Nikita still wants players to discover certain things for themselves.

[ShadowZaly]

BSG you guy are rocking with this game love every single thing you add to it and change or fix keep up the great work my number 1 FPS to date. cant wait to see all the new content you all add this wipe patch notes look great

[cornercache]

I like the factory expansion but the flea market for only level 20 and up seems like a bad change for new players

The game is unplayable now that the ability to crawl through or lay down in bushes has been taken away. Even more frustrating is that it came with a nasty bug where I can't move or turn while prone if next to a bush or even some flat ground. Someone runs up behind me, I try to turn, and it locks up movement and turning. Super frustrating.
