One of the main highlights, however, is a new map called Ground Zero. Unlike otherEscape From Tarkovmaps, Ground Zero is restricted to players under level 20, working as a useful way for new gamers to be safe from higher-level ones. Another important addition to the patch is the introduction of a new boss called Kollontay, who will be present in the Streets of Tarkov map and will patrol the area around Klimov Shopping Mall and the Tarkov Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

WHERE TO PLAY
Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore and realistic online first-person action RPG/Simulator with MMO features and a story-driven walkthrough. With each passing day the situation in the Norvinsk region grows more and more complicated. Incessant warfare in Tarkov has sparked massive panic; the local population has fled the city, but those who stayed are looking to improve their fortunes at the expense of others. Having accepted the new reality, savage Tarkov locals - “Scavs” flocked into well-armed gangs and started the redivision of the city. Nowadays, Tarkov is separated by unseen borders, controlled by different groups. Gain-greedy gunmen would go to any length to have their way, including the murder of civilians and direct confrontation with the two private military companies. The players will have to experience living in the skin of one of the mercenaries who survived the initial stage of the Tarkov conflict. After choosing one of the sides – USEC or BEAR – the player’s character starts to make his way out of the city. Tarkov is sealed off by UN and Russian military, supply chains are cut, communication with operational command is lost, and in these conditions everyone has to make his own choices of what to do and how to get out of the chaos-ridden metropolis.
