Escape from Tarkovis a highly realistic first-person shooterthat immerses players in its challenging battlefield. The game drops players onto a map where they must scavenge for loot while battling both other players and AI-controlled enemies. What setsEscape from Tarkovapart from other games in the genre is its realistic approach, featuring complex mechanics such as detailed ballistics and an intricate health management system. These require players to stay vigilant—otherwise, they risk dying and losing all the equipment and loot they collected during that session. Since its beta launch, Battlestate Games has continuously released updates to refine the game, and the latest patch is no exception.
Escape from Tarkovpatch 0.16.1.3 is already available, and the developer encourages players to download it as soon as possible. The update shifts the game’s season to spring while introducing optimizations to improve game client performance. Battlestate has also made adjustments to flashlight and lamp illumination rendering to enhance the game’s visuals. Additionally, the new update brings a host of improvements toEscape from Tarkov’s AI behavior.
These improvements include a reworked enemy detection system for AI, meaning bots will now become aware of a target gradually instead of instantly spotting or losing sight of them. Adding toEscape from Tarkov’s realistic gameplay, bot detection speed now depends on factors like weather and distance. For instance, a bot will take longer to detect an enemy if the angle between them is wider, while bots in areas with heavy fog or rain will also have a harder time spotting enemies.
Players should also note that bots can no longer see enemies through gaps in vegetation at medium and long ranges. Now, enemies will only be visible to them when there is a clear gap between separate vegetation. However, Battlestate has noted that this system will be improved in future updates.
Much likepreviousEscape from Tarkovupdates, patch 0.16.1.3 addresses several issues to improve the overall gameplay experience. The fixes range from minor bugs related to bot behavior and shooting to tweaks in the volume balance of bullets hitting the player. With all these changes, Battlestate Games continues refiningEscape from Tarkovas it moves toward its full release.
