The Merchant won't carry every single item, however, so if you want to get some of the rare weapons and equipment, you’ll have to venture out into one of the four levels and get them from enemies. The press release for the announcement only said that adding insurance increases the chance of retaining your items.Įscape From Tarkov will also feature a new Merchant who will let you buy, sell, or trade loot, medicine, and other useful items. However, the added insurance doesn’t seem to be a guarantee that lost items will return to you. By paying an unspecified amount of in-game currency, you can insure the weapons and equipment you take onto the battlefield. In the closed beta, the developers are adding an insurance system. In the game, your “loot” is determined by the weapons, armor, and additional items you pick up from downed enemies, but if you die all of your loot and equipment will be lost.

When we played Escape From Tarkov, three maps were available, and a fourth area, called Shoreline, will soon open up for players. The advancement to beta brings some new features as well.
