Escape from Tarkov Prepares for Major Wipe with New Events

Battlestate Games teases imminent wipe with a series of pre-wipe events, including cheap hideout upgrades and increased loot spawns.

The first pre-wipe event allows hideout upgrades using only Pevko beer and accelerates skill leveling.
A second event has removed access to the flea market, hinting at an imminent wipe.
Players report increased rare loot spawns in certain areas, though this is not officially confirmed.
The wipe is expected to occur on August 15, resetting player progress and introducing new content.
Upcoming events may include discounted trader items and increased boss spawn rates.
