Battlestate Games is still pushing out updates and revealed what will be coming to the newest patch. The new Escape from Tarkov 12.5 patch notes are below detailing what is expected to change once it goes live. There are many interesting new changes coming to the game, including game optimizations, new features, bug fixes, and a change in some game mechanics.
Optics seem to be the focus of a lot of changes. Players will no longer have to worry about their FPS dropping when scoped in. In addition to that, variable zoom optics will also be making their way into the game. A shot sound delay on the bolt-action sniper has also been removed.
A new Therapist service is also coming to the game, where players can heal up quickly at the end of the raid. Player actions are also getting a change, and you will not be able to start a new action until the previous one is complete. This translates into not being able to heal and reload at the same time.
There is no official release date for the Escape from Tarkov patch, but we can likely expect it to roll out in the coming weeks.
