Escape From Tarkov Patch 0.12.6.2 Adds New Quests And Reserve Map Expansion

Escape From Tarkov’s new June 29 update, officially called patch 0.12.6.2 by developer Battlestate Games, is live. The update adds two quests that involve a new expansion to the Reserve map, along with a handful of bug fixes and technical improvements.

The new quests are available through Prapor after level 10, titled The Bunker – Part 1 and The Bunker – Part 2. Both are set in the underground bunker below Reserve, which has been expanded with previously sealed doors now open, providing new entrances to the bunker and linking up several existing routes and locations. Scav Raiders now spawn in the bunker and a new extraction point called D-2 has been added, which requires players to restore power in another part of the bunker before it can be accessed.

Below you’ll find the requirements for both bunker quests and the rewards, plus full patch notes for the update, detailing some of the aforementioned bug fixes.
