When Is The Next Escape From Tarkov Wipe?

Whenever you hear the word ‘wipe’ in Escape From Tarkov, it just means that players would eventually have a reset in their characters. A wipe happens from time to time in EFT.

The multiplayer FPS by Battlestate Games does this as a way of levelling every player equally as much as possible, although this could also be an opportunity for the highly skilled to rank up faster and win games more often.

Fans seem fairly convinced that the next big update - which many believe is due to arrive on December 12 - will coincide with another EFT Wipe. However, until anything official is confirmed from the developers, this is just speculation for the time being.

When is the Next 2021 Server Wipe in Escape From Tarkov?

As the time of writing, there is still no announcement about the next EFT server wipe coming in 2021. Battlestate Games would most likely announce this a day or two prior to the wipe, so we will let you know as soon as possible once the server wipe schedule is already revealed.

The last wipe in EFT happened earlier this year on June 30, 2021. This came as part of the 0.12.11 patch. The wipe schedule is usually based on historical data, and it is safe to say that it could happen every six or ten months. So a wipe in December 2021 sure makes a lot of sense.

What Happens During a Wipe in Escape From Tarkov?

Aside from resetting the players’ characters in EFT, wipes usually coincide with the release of updates in the game. There is a big chance that there would be new maps, features, tasks, and objectives once a wipe would take place.

Additionally, new items can also be up for grabs whenever a wipe is scheduled in EFT. This would not just boost the existing players’ morale to grind in the game, but could also attract new players to try and somehow be hooked with the game’s tactical shooter nature.
