We actually had some pretty big changes to Escape from Tarkov today with the little patch we had this morning. Loads of bug fixes and a new change to moving items in raid to specifically target RMT aka real money transfer of in game items in turn targeting cheaters. And I would think nobody likes cheaters except for cheaters and the people who buy stuff from them so I’m down to try some possible solutions while we still can. There’s a lot of drama around this and I have a very good idea of why BSG did this change specifically so I’m going to start with that. If this is something you already understand then I put a timestamp for the actual new info in the comments, otherwise here’s how it works and what I think is happening.

Although I do sometimes get a hand from BSG and occasionally get to talk to Nikita or other members of the team, I do not work for BSG. I also work entirely off public information and past experiences of working in game dev myself, as well as following this game closely for several years. Unless I state very clearly otherwise, the information you’re about to hear should be taken as speculation. You can either get no information or speculation, that’s all we have to go off of these days unfortunately which is why it’s easier to just say Thursday whenever anyone asks for dates. If you want hard facts and dates you won’t get them, period.

Skip through RMT patch pros/cons and explanation here > 5:13 What do you guys think?
At the end of the day this game is about skill, who gives a shit if a level 1 gets gigachad gear?
so does it only delete items if they are dropped or can they be placed in a container and be taken out by another party anyway. because if that can happen its pretty pointless
What happens when people put their loot in a corpse or container and let another person loot it? Does it work the same way?
Stuff like thus just kinda sucks for new players
so if they can flag stuff why not just flag accounts dropping mass loot to people at rapid rates….
i hate that every game dev out there is fighting against boosting and irl trading
its a complete non issue. i have a hard job and work 60hr work weeks, i am not willing to play a video game like a 2nd job just to have a bit of fun
you cant tell if a cheater sold it or just someone grinding like crazy. just keep fighting cheaters in traditional way, dont fuck with the game in a way that could impact the gameplay, the market will always find a way to bypass it anyways
the only reason rmt is kinda reduced atm is that bsg increased the flea tax, just stop pretending that you don't know how rmt works.
I'm very okay with this.
well now it fucks u over if u need a stim from a teammate bc now u cant third party heal and ur punished if u try to help out ur squad , game pretty much makes ur run solo with friends just there since u cant support each other unless u die , cheaters arnt going to leave , carries are just going to be more toxic and be extreamly more commen now do to this being added to the game , good job bsg ! u just made player auction rich af
WOW, what a brilliant change! This is why I'm fucking done with this game.
i love this update but maybe they should make a new system where you pay like 1 mil to praper or someone before loading into a raid kinda like the insurance so you will be able to drop like red rebel so its not free to drop high value items, or maybe have a trading system that requires you to have a friend added for more than 30 days or something so that people will not be able to buy items. another thing to actually stop cheaters like the loot grab they should make a system where if someone moves or an item moves towards a player at a major speeds distances in seconds, like if they are using loot grab or speed hacks then the anticheat will detect this. but of course they will have to make it so that if you fall of a cliff or building. but it will cause cheaters to be more afraid of using the most effective cheats. and tarkov should put fake dummies in the ground so that aimbot hackers will lock onto them instead of players, kinda like what warzone did
There is less cheater activity because its at the end of the wipe it is always like that this is clear to me! Nobody want to pay for a boost or carry when it feels like the game is going to wipe in a month or so!
rip the friendly guy 🙁
so you cant even drop meds or food/water ?
but why isnt cheating allowed
Why give the cheaters what they want… attention just ignore them
150ms> ping limit, why not just region lock. I'm saying as a guy who bought the game and suffered being locked out of my clan thanks to the Western American screeching about lag/cheats, like, sucks I know – your buddies in UK/EU can't play with you anymore – yup sucks don't it, you forced it on us so why not FOCUS on the regions and do a little RESEARCH about "RMT" – where it is, who is doing it, how much is happening – rather than just hamming mechanics because every Andy in USA crys when one-tapped and is paranoid that he's the only one not cheating? … Maybe I'm old fashioned, like, Actually WORK on the issue is what I'm saying.
What a dumpster fire
Damn we live in a backwards ass world if you promote to look into if your friends are cheating if they really like to give away free loot to help their friends lmao, BSG is lazy af and just hurts the people who have a already rough time with this game. Now yes they cant buy stuff which is good from RMT but they can still buy carries which promotes RAGE HACKING which is the worst of the kind rather than vaccum looters. all because bsg doesnt want to find ways to hurt the cheater rather than everyone
The RMT change is kind of shitty. If I want to give a duplicate keycard that I got from a scab case to my mate, it gets deleted :/.
What if you bring shit into a match and your friend kills you for the items?
Or is there no way to lose the items basically?
What about an actual match making system where as a new player u don't get killed every 10 min by a full gear guy with 1 tap gun to low armore
Happened to me on reserve
Im glad BSG cares about cheaters problem and try everything possible to reduce them and maybe some off that things sucks but when kills me cheater that sucks much more 😀
It should be invisible/inaccessible to other players… not deleted. Sometimes I bring things in my backpack and when playing Tetris with pickups I need to drop something for a bit…
Geez, way to insult 90% of honest players… I've never paid for any RMT services in a game, but one of the best things about Tarkov was being able to trade with friends… for instance, to help each other with upgrading hideout.
I'm all for methods to reduce cheating, but cheaters and RMTs exist in games that don't even have inventory systems.
I think this is a poor change mainly because dropping key cards is pretty important for non-gamers, people who don’t play this game 8 hours a day. To get to level 40 would take you a few months when you can only play one or two hours a day I don’t care who you are. Cheaters are gonna cheat, quite bitching just play the game, tbh cheaters are kinda rare
Spawn in with friend kill them take their stuff.. problem solved?
