In addition to these standard extractions, players are also given the opportunity to use 'optional' extraction points near the middle of the map, but in order to do so you must meet various requirements per extract such as paying roubles (the primary in-game currency), not having a backpack, or having certain items equipped on their character. Once in-game, the players are given an extraction point on the other side of the map, and must fight against other players and non-player characters to reach that point in order to escape. In these raids, players can choose to play solo or in groups and spawn on one side of a variety of maps to choose from in the game. In its current state, Escape from Tarkov incorporates three different modes for the players to play: online PMC raids, Scav (short for 'scavenger') raids, and a temporary offline mode. This likely means the daily pre-wipe events will continue until the new patch arrives.The developers of Escape from Tarkov refer to the game as a realistic and hardcore first-person shooter, survival video game that borrows elements from massively multiplayer online games. The date of the Escape from Tarkov wipe is still not officially announced, but players believe the 3006 damage done to the player via the Obdolbos Cocktail Injector is a hint that the wipe will be occurring on June 30. You can also no longer buy items off traders with money, as only their bartering systems are available. Or there’s the fact that every Scav boss is now appearing in Customs.

For example, the Obdolbos Cocktail Injector has been changed, providing much stronger boosts but with the caveat that the player has a five per cent chance of instantly dying upon injection.

This is just the latest of several ongoing pre-wipe events. Judging from the teaser, the Scav Raiders will likely still be a factor in the area. However, it would appear that the security system in the Lab has now failed, making it a free-for-all. Normally, a raid group would require several hard-to-find keycards to access the entirety of the Lab.

The Lab is a secret facility underneath Tarkov that can contain some of the highest-tier loot in the game.
