Escape From Tarkov Arena's first major patch, version 1.5, has been released, addressing numerous player concerns since the game's launch. This significant update, set to go live today, marks the initial major patch following Arena's late last year debut and includes a full reset for all players' preset unlock progress and ARP levels.
Players with an ARP below 2000 will have their new ARP set at 1500, while those with an ARP above 2000 will see their new ARP set at 2000. The patch introduces a revamped preset system, categorizing presets into three tiers based on gear strength. Before matchmaking, players will select a tier, ensuring balanced gameplay by matching players with similar presets.
