Tarkov Prepares To Wipe As ‘Fire Sale’ Event Goes Live

Escape From Tarkov is set to experience a global ‘wipe’ in the coming days as the ultimate event goes live – ‘Fire Sale’. This is a traditional in-game event that sees everything that is sold by Tarkov’s traders plummet in value to mere pennies, which means that players can suit up to their heart’s content and play the game with the best equipment. It also pushes every trader to the maximum level – something which would typically involve a long, tough grind.

It’s the final sign that a wipe is close, and many are expecting that Escape From Tarkov will reset on Thursday, December 20. That would follow the traditional pattern of Tarkov hitting the wipe on a Thursday, and usually, it does land merely a day or two after the Fire Sale event hits. It’s time to load up, get back into Tarkov, and appreciate the Fire Sale for the short time that it’s going to be live.

It’s Time For Tarkov to Wipe

Every time Escape From Tarkov wipes, it rockets to the top of gaming charts the world over. It’ll sit at the top of Twitch, with millions of players coming back into the game to experience it all over again from ‘Level One’. For a short time, every player has the same abilities, opportunities, tasks, and almost the same weapons. It’s the most balanced time to play Escape From Tarkov, even if some players will grind monumentally to hit as high a level as possible as quickly as possible.

In July, Battlestate Games – Tarkov’s developer – published a roadmap highlighting some of the features expected in this all-new wipe. It includes a new location – which is a fresh map for low-level players – optimisations, and improvements to the game’s anti-cheat system. We’ll also see new weapons introduced to the game along with a host of quality-of-life changes and fixes.

It’s a highly anticipated event that marks a special occasion in the calendar of Escape From Tarkov players everywhere. For a time, it’ll ensure that Tarkov is the most talked-about game in the world, even if the hype will flatten out in a couple of weeks ‘post-wipe’.

Fire Sale Is Live Now in Tarkov

If you’re eager to get involved with Tarkov at the most chaotic time, then you should be booting it up right now. In Escape From Tarkov, the ‘Fire Sale’ event is live, making everything in the game just a few roubles to purchase. That means that you can build the weapons and run the strongest armour and equipment in every raid. They’re the last raids you’ll run this wipe, so make the most of them before everything is reset.

It’s almost certain that Tarkov will wipe on Thursday – have fun!
