Escape from Tarkov Kicks Off New Event with Quests, Increased Airdrops & Weapon Cases

The hunt for high-value targets continues in Escape from Tarkov as the developers roll out another significant in-game event.

Following a recent series of mini-events that offered 100% boss spawn chances on various maps, Escape from Tarkov now introduces a new major event. This event features a fresh quest from the Peacemaker titled “Bulldogs Under the Carpet,” which challenges players to:

  • Eliminate a smuggler on any map.
  • Locate a smuggler camp on the Shoreline map.

Beyond the new questline, the community has reported exciting changes to airdrops. Players now have a chance to find sealed weapon cases dropping from airdrops, which can be opened in their stash for valuable gear.

Additionally, the event reintroduces boosted boss spawns: “All bosses (with the exception of the Goons and Zryachiy) are now spawning on Reserve with a 100% chance,” offering more opportunities for high-tier loot and intense engagements.
