Escape from Tarkov Side Task Overhaul Changes Countless Quests
Escape from Tarkov’s latest 1.1.0 update introduces a comprehensive overhaul to the game’s side task system, fundamentally reshaping how players engage with quest content. The revamped system presents a significant departure from the previous structure, offering players greater flexibility and control over their progression.
The most notable change is how tasks are now unlocked and presented. Players receive side tasks in substantial batches as they increase their trader levels, rather than individually. This new approach allows players to complete available missions in a non-linear fashion, giving them freedom to choose which quests to pursue and in what order.
Another major feature introduced in the update is squad-based progress sharing. Players can now share quest progress with their teammates, even if those teammates don’t have the specific task active in their own progression. This cooperative mechanic encourages squad play and enables more seamless teamwork across the game.
The update also affects the numerous side missions that players have tackled for years. Battlestate Games has implemented enormous alterations to countless base tasks, with many of the game’s most iconic missions being significantly changed. These modifications represent a permanent shift in Escape from Tarkov’s task landscape, affecting both new and veteran players alike.
