GAMES

Battlestate Games expanded the Scourge Invasion event in Escape from Tarkov. They added a new limited achievement that can be obtained by players who manage to successfully complete the quest chain associated with the event. This is important, because the event is ending on October 26 at 10:00 AM Moscow time.

Boss health and detection speed reduced as event concludes

This means that players only have a short period of time to get the achievement. The developers will be giving the achievement to players that have already completed the quest chain. This means that they won't need to go through the quest chain again to get the achievement in the near future.

The expansion to the event picks up the storyline with PMCs that were hired by the Therapist. They interfere with Ref's operations in the underground complex. It focuses on ongoing conflicts leading up to the event's end. This means that we will see more intense action at The Lab with the increased focus on the underground complex.

Battlestate Games also made balancing changes to the Scourge boss and his retinue. This means that they've changed some things in order to alter the difficulty of encountering the boss. They have changed the health, field of view, bullet spread and the detection speed for the Scourge boss.

The health of the Scourge boss has been lowered for all body parts. This means that it may be possible for players to take down the boss quickly if they can make accurate shots. But the field of view for the boss has been lowered.

This makes it more difficult for the boss to see you at a distance. The boss's bullet spread has been raised when firing from a distance. This lowers their accuracy when shooting from a distance.

The detection speed of the enemy has also been lowered. This gives you more time to react or move before being detected by the enemy.

We talked about the last update to Escape from Tarkov where we saw many of the same themes regarding balance and stability. There have been balancing changes to the boss in the update (separate from the previous discussions about infrastructure). The event expansion and boss changes are ending on October 26 at 10:00 AM Moscow time.
