What is an Escape From Tarkov Wipe?

This is a process that resets every player to level one in Escape From Tarkov. This will wipe your weapons, gear, money, and more, returning them to the initial state post-purchase.

This reset is crucial for maintaining the balance in the game and makes sure every player is back on level one which provides a fresh experience and fun in the game.

Experienced players gain additional energy by ascending the ranks, completing quests, and rebuilding their hideouts.

Unlike typical game modes, Tarkov’s PvE (Player vs Environment) mode, which became more accessible in 2024, does not wipe automatically.

Signs of an upcoming Wipe

Battlestate Games generally cranks up in-game events before a wipe, indicating to players that the reset is near. Previous events in Escape From Tarkov have included:

• High-value loot appears in specified spots.
• The game has all bosses in a single area, players starting with diseases like poisoning that require a cure, and ‘Stim’ injectors for temporary super abilities.
• In-game traders offer products at drastically low costs.
• Multiple simultaneous loot airdrops
