New Event Hits Escape from Tarkov: More Airdrops, Weapon Cases, and Boss Spawns
The intense boss hunting continues in Escape from Tarkov. Following a recent series of mini-events that featured a 100% boss spawn chance across various maps, Battlestate Games has unveiled its next significant in-game event.
A new event is now live in EFT, introducing a fresh quest from Peacemaker titled "Bulldogs Under the Rug." To successfully complete this challenging quest, players are required to:
- Eliminate a contrabandist (smuggler) on any available location.
- Locate the contrabandist's hidden camp on the "Shoreline" map.
Observations from the dedicated "Tarkov Metamovement" community indicate that airdrops are now frequently delivering sealed weapon cases, which can be opened directly within the player's hideout (stash).
Furthermore, this event ensures that all bosses (with the specific exceptions of the Goons and Killa) are guaranteed to spawn on the "Reserve" map, offering players ample opportunities for high-tier loot and intense engagements.
