Escape from Tarkov is notorious for its merciless level of difficulty and its high demands on realistic and immersive gameplay. With Patch 0.12.4 two new features coming in the Survival shooter that again promote this principle to the extreme: The mechanics "overweight" and "fatigue".
The two new systems in patch 0.12.4
1. What does the new fatigue effect entail?
The fact that characters have a stamina bar that is emptied by actions such as sprinting or jumping is not something new in Escape from Tarkov or video games in general. For patch 0.12.4 developer Battlestate Games came up with a new trick.
Escape from Tarkov divides your stamina meter into "arms" and "legs". Actions such as aiming, throwing grenades and close combat empty the arms bar, while jumping, sprinting and changing body positions affect the legs bar. As soon as the arm stamina is used up, the leg groin also begins to wane.
The fatigue effect takes effect when the endurance of your character is kept at a low level for a longer period of time: the higher the fatigue effect, the further the energy consumption of your actions increases - a vicious circle of efforts.
2. What does being overweight entail?
The principle of overweight in Escape from Tarkov should be familiar to players of titles like Fallout 4 or The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim: If there is too much stuff in the inventory, running and sprinting are no longer possible, comfort functions such as fast travel are also deactivated.

In Escape from Tarkov, certain weight values for weapons, equipment and loot with patch 0.12.4 also bring effects that are far more serious: For example, your own noise level is increased if you carry too much stuff around with you. The speed of one's own movements is also restricted, while the consumption of endurance skyrockets.
Incidentally, these are not the only major changes in Patch 0.12.4 for Escape from Tarkov: We recently reported that developer Battlestate Games is making important changes to the popular Map Interchange with the new update.

The character's stamina display is now divided into "arms" and "legs". The endurance of the arms is used up when aiming, throwing grenades and in close combat.
