Escape from Tarkov has today (August 20) launched an update, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this patch. As this is just a hotfix (albeit a two-part hotfix) you shouldn’t go in expecting much in terms of flashy changes. If anything, most of this is just fixes to bugs and performance to make the game run smoothly. Some minor changes to fence reputation have been made though, and are worth noting. We’ll be covering both updates here though. Without further adieu, here’s what’s part of the August 20 update for Escape from Tarkov!
