Escape from Tarkov has a long list list of fixes in the current update, the installation should take around four hours to complete.
Escape from Tarkov is a multiplayer first-person tactical shooter set in the fictional Norvinsk region in north-western Russia as war is ongoing between two private military companies.
Among the long list of changes and fixes, players can now expect to experience a rework to damage through layers. As a bullet penetrates each layer of armor, it will lose some power and damage depending on the characteristics of said armor.

Blunt damage will also decrease when there is soft armor behind the unpenetrated component; the issue of missing blunt armor when hitting a ballistic plate has also been fixed.
There are also reworks to recoil for several weapons in the game, including the SKS.
