as Tarkov's seemingly only TOZ main(fully mastery'd 3 wipes running now), i'm so glad BSG added some new 20 gauge shells just for little ol me.

[takingday]

The vityas also got access to a 50 round drum mag, the 600 fire rate Uzi got access to a 100 round c-mag and on the small side note the M9A3 got 30 round extended mags.

[LexisLodge]

Hey I just wanna put out an honorable mention to the RFB, there is now a quadrail that attaches to the barrel and allows mounting of tactical devices without any workarounds :)

[PazzerGG]

it doesnt make sense for m62 to be a craft when its worse than m80 now, they should just have a trader sell it lol

[sw_tower]

Something to also note were the changes to velocity.

m80, m62, m61 have all been uniformed in their velociity which means their trajectories are going to be way more in line with one another.

BCP FMJ got nerfed into the dirt, losing nearly 100 MS velocity, which has knocked this round away from first place for "best trajectory at long range."

This adjustment has knocked about 50 ms off the m700 bringing it to sub 900 m/s with the 20" barrel.

This change likely doesn't effect many folks. but I sure as hell noticed it.

Every Tarkov patch feels like solving a mystery while being shot at—thanks for decoding the hidden changes before they catch us off guard!

[ioz-.-]

on customs you're missing an extract called railway passage where you need to shoot a green flare to get out (its up near fortress where the railway leads off the map)

[titikeeeh]

Yeah the 20 fps Drop is a hidden New feature aswell

[ashe.]

The swap between M61 and M80A1 doesn’t really make sense. M61 has a large hardened steel core. The core of M80A1 is split between a hardened steel tip, and a non-lead alloy base similar to M855A1. Neither are designed for armor penetration; just enhanced barrier penetration, and subsequent fragmentation.

The nerf of M62 is good though since it is a lead core projectile like M80, but slightly worse (tracers become unstable as the tracing component burns off). I’ve seen tracers bounce off soft, wet dirt. They’re terrible at penetrating things. It should have never been considered AP. M80, and BCP FMJ are both lead core FMJ projectiles, so they should be roughly equal.

1:11 that 2 armor pen matters a lot. It make it go over the 42 pen allowed on flea. If it isn't available on peacekeeper it would be a useless ammo like the m62 used to be. I guess it doesn't matter since these ammos have just switched roles and you can just use m62 instead of m80

[darthhuller]

There's also a new 30 round magazine for the Beretta pistol on peacekeeper 1, not sure if questlocked because on PVE I instantly got access to it.

[NoirVincoco]

There is also 1 new part for M4 called "AR-15 Magpul B.A.D. Lever bolt release"
It gives +2 ergo but don't fit all of the upper receivers

[YeeMacghyee]

Nobody else seen the new thermal optic? The shakhin? Or the old soviet NVGs for the tanker helmet?

[Th_crow]

Light switches are super usefull in nightraids. I was in the new area on customs where you had to plant the cameras. top floor, side of the building. Guy walks in from a corridor, i hit the light switch, lamps went down, he puts on his NVG, then i hit him with 2 lamps on my shotgun and a wall of lead. I quite like this feature :D

[marram]

Ahhh BSG and not telling their player base all the changes. What a combo!

It's nice for players to find the hidden extracts, new quests, and new items.

But really stupid to not list the changes to items and functions in the game already, the ammo changes, and quest changes.

[mussy]

Am I tripping or do hats fly off when you shoot them? I i shot at a scav that was wearing a usec cap and could swear the hat disappeared or dropped to the floor.

[Hondavid.]

PvE player here:
The location of the Christmas markets + trees for the quests are as follows-
Lighthouse, at the convenience store in the center map at the start of long road & near path to shoreline Village
Shoreline, in the front section of the west wing at resort
Reserve, corner near the helipad in front of white queen.
Interchange, the stage where you stash ghezel armor for ragman in front of center mall.
Customs, sniper roadblock near smuggler's boat
Woods, in lumber mill above lake dock

The x-17 is quest locked as it's still not sold by trader, there's also new higher tier quests like gunsmith, old friends request, with a purchase unlock for the new ballistic plate container, which because it can fit in backpacks is suspected of spawning in world. 5x2 container
There's also a festive loot container guaranteed spawn on each large map that resembles Santa's sleigh, one is in the back of goshan on interchange, so if you want quest items you should head there, if it's looted then make your way through the middle of the mall towards mantis for a small tree spawn, then through the front for Christmas market. Pickles barter for a new high power scope, but it alone has -10 ergo, and uses a 35mm mount with another -1 ergo penalty. it's very clean and useable so it's unfortunate that it's very harsh penalties, but since its a 5x-35x it's probably unlikely to replace the true 1x LVPOS like the vudu and razor.

Last addition, bosses have festive gear! Tagilla has an antler hat version (and a new verion of the saiga 12 called automatic saiga, presumably it's full auto, comes with new mod parts as well)
Killa has a gingerbread decorated verion of his 6B armor
And i met the goons tbat looked odd, died before i could observe their gear.

[reaper]

not seen anyone mention this, but the folding AKM's got a tube adapter so they can take AR-15 stocks now

[jacuul]

For what it's worth, I found the minefield map in a hidden stash. Did not use it as I didn't know where the extract was, but can be found in multiple places
