The last EFT wipe introduced many new changes to the game. When will the next reset occur in 2023?
It's been days since the last Escape from Tarkov wipe, and players are slowly starting to grind their levels and items again. The recent reset also came with a new patch, introducing an additional map for players to enjoy. While gamers are already focused on regaining their progression and Tarkov Items, some are already wondering when the next wipe will be.
What is an EFT Wipe?
Escape from Tarkov implements wipes several times annually to reset the progression of everyone in the game. EFT prides itself on being a real hardcore tactical FPS game, and items and perks in this genre significantly make your gear stronger. Wipes are considered resets for the game, which means losing your progression gear.
Resets are done to allow newbies to engage with veterans on an even playing field since starting in a game where others already have powerful items is unfair. These wipes allow players with Tarkov accounts to start fresh. There is no better time for newbies to get into the game other than a fresh restart.
When is the next EFT Wipe?
Fortunately for players, the next reset won't happen for a while. While there is no official announcement yet, we can speculate the next wipe date from how Tarkov implements them. Here are all the dates of the previous wipes since 2017:
Based on the previous resets, the average interval between each wipe is around five to six months or 150 to 200 days. Since the most recent one occurred in late December last year, we assume the next one will be sometime in July 2023. This time frame gives players enough time to grind to their heart's content till the next reset. However, gamers should stay updated if the developers want to make an earlier wipe.
The Recent Wipe
The latest reset before the end of 2022 came just in time for devs to introduce a new map to the game. Patch 0.13 various new content from a new area to additional guns and skills. There were also other improvements to several other features, especially to the Co-op PvE mode. Here are all the significant updates from the recent patch:
Wipe Announcements
Since there are no official announcements for the next reset, players should wait for further details from the devs. There won't be any patch notes for this topic in quite a while, considering that there was a recent wipe. Players have a long time to collect and upgrade their Tarkov items until they need to redo their grind.
