The developers of Escape from Tarkov announced that the upcoming update 1.1.0.0 includes QoL improvements to several in-game systems.
For example, changes will affect the availability of gear in the early stages of progression. Many basic-level ammunition types will become available earlier. For instance, 7.62x39 T-45M1 cartridges will be available for purchase from Prapor from the very beginning of the game.
In addition, the developers will lower the character level requirement to achieve early "LL" (Loyalty Levels) with traders, and the currency turnover requirement will be completely removed from the game.
Changes will also affect Hideout improvements: the construction time for initial modules will be reduced, and the requirement for other modules and items with the "Found in Raid" status will be less frequent.
In July, the creators of Escape from Tarkov are planning to launch a season system and the first season, "Kord Breach". Within this season, the insurance mechanic will be unavailable, however, in the PvE Zone and PvP, it will be more convenient:
The item return time will be shortened, and in return, the cost will slightly increase. In addition, an insurance service will be available from Jaeger: it will be noticeably more expensive, but lost items will be returned in just a couple of hours.
Currently, an event is taking place in Escape from Tarkov on the "Laboratory" map.
