The highly anticipated next Escape From Tarkov wipe is just around the corner, set to launch alongside the massive 0.15 patch. The official announcement from the Escape From Tarkov development team has confirmed that the patch and wipe will be rolled out tomorrow, August 20.
The installation process for the 0.15 patch is scheduled to begin at 7 AM BST / 2 AM EDT. This process is expected to take at least eight hours, with the new patch and wipe becoming playable at 3 PM BST / 10 AM EDT, provided there are no unforeseen issues during installation.
Players are advised to log into the Tarkov launcher ahead of time to avoid potential server congestion once the patch goes live. The influx of users trying to access the new update may cause temporary disruptions, such as the password reset system being overwhelmed.
Once the patch is live, players can look forward to a host of new features, including new weapons, the addition of the factory map, and a formidable new boss character. However, PvP players should note that their progress will be reset with the new wipe.
During the installation period, starting at 7 AM BST / 2 AM EDT, the Escape From Tarkov servers will be down for approximately eight hours. This downtime will affect both PvP and PvE modes, as the game will be inaccessible until the patch installation is complete.
Upon the servers coming back online around 3 PM BST / 10 AM EDT, players can dive into the new content and experience the changes brought by the 0.15 patch. It's important to note that the PvE mode will also be unavailable during this time due to its reliance on connecting to the Battlestate Games servers.
