Escape From Tarkov might get another wipe soon

Escape from Tarkov

Battlestate Games’ new shooter has been around a while. The hybrid MMO-FPS has been in a state of testing since 2017, and has had a rough road at points. Although, despite bugs and other issues, the game still has a growing fanbase. The game has been waiting to get a console port for a while, but that’s probably not happening anytime soon.

There are other questions that players have, and one ever-present one is simple. When is the next Escape From Tarkov wipe?

When is the next wipe?

Every time the game gets a major patch, there’s a chance for a wipe to occur. The developers will often perform one if the character customization or gear options change significantly in a patch cycle. This happened when the most recent update, 0.12.9, After that version released the changes to character options prompted a wipe.

The last wipe was very recent, since that version of the game is so new, as it took place on December 24, 2020. So it’s very much unlikely that a new one will happen this month at least. There are no plans from the dev to release a major update anytime soon, so another wipe will probably happen around that time. We will have to wait until Battlestate Games reveals more information to get a more concrete idea of when another Escape From Tarkov wipe might happen.
