Escape from Tarkov patch 0.12.8 notes: Heavy Bleeding, SV-98 buffs, more Battlestate GamesAfter a decent break, Battlestate Games is back with a brand-new Escape from Tarkov patch and we\u2019ve got a full rundown on the 0.12.8 update notes for you. [jwplayer FcWdjVVq] Fans have been anxiously waiting for the next big EFT update and the developers are coming through in a big way. The 12.8 update comes with dozens of major changes, a heap of new content, and plenty to sink your teeth into. While the developers couldn\u2019t quite get the patch live on time, we\u2019re just hours away from the latest changes landing on the live serves. You\u2019ll be forced to change your playstyle and adapt to all-new gameplay mechanics. Make sure you\u2019re fully brushed up on all the biggest additions before dropping in and being stumped. Here\u2019s everything you need to know. First and foremost, all-new content is coming in hot. There are multiple new skills, items, mechanics, consumables, and more. When it comes to new features, the new \u2018heavy bleeding\u2019 function might be the most important to take note of. This addition requires a special treatment item in order to stop the bleeding. Additionally, if you have been hit with the effect, you\u2019ll leave traces of blood. Moreover, there\u2019s a ton of new equipment to sort through as well. Clothes, weapons, and of course, what EFT patch would be complete without new weapon mods? On offer this time around is a new M45A1 pistol, a KS-23 Shotgun, along with an RFB Rifle. Well over a dozen quality of life changes and bug fixes have also been highlighted in the patch notes. You\u2019ll notice that the lobby screen will be clearer than ever before. You\u2019ll be able to automatically arrange your stash with a new button. And you can accept invitations to join friends with greater ease. Alongside all of the fresh content and overall improvements to the game, you\u2019ll notice some adjustments under the hood as well. Perhaps most notably, the SV-98 will no longer have a delay before pulling the trigger. This has long been a frustration among the community but it\u2019s finally in the rearview mirror.
