Patch 1.2.0.0

v1.2.0official notes ↗

TL;DR

  1. Added the EXFIL Brothers Program to the game. As part of the program, experienced players (Operators) can receive bonuses for playing together with friends who have just started their journey in Tarkov (Candidates).
  2. Candidate rewards are designed to make it easier for new players to get into the game. Operator rewards are intended to help during the later stages of progression and allow Operators to stand out with unique customization.
  3. Significantly increased the chance of USEC and BEAR PMC bots teaming up and remaining non-hostile to each other;
  4. Added a small chance for PMC bots to remain neutral toward a PMC player until the player approaches or attacks them;
  5. Reduced the chance of PMC bots being neutral toward Scav bots;
What do the tags mean?
  • Buff green = made stronger
  • Nerf red = made weaker
  • Fix yellow = bug fixed
  • New blue = added content or feature

Lines are quoted from the official notes; on cards, the › bullet and left stripe use the game's colour, not a tag; tags are auto-assigned, so check the full notes for edge cases.
