Furthermore, some players have discovered a strange counter on the official Escape From Tarkov website’s Halloween section. When it reaches 666,666, the live raids are engulfed in a dense-dark fog, which causes the environment to become extremely dark and gloomy. You can also see the transformation while in-raid.
As you can see, there are a lot of interesting changes, with a special emphasis on enemies of the silent variety. Tagilla and the Cultists are the only two enemies in the game with no footstep sounds, allowing them to easily sneak up on you and drop from anywhere.
Why not try some night raids if you haven’t already, and enjoy the increased fear factor of a game that was already quite frightening to begin with? This is also a good time to finish any quests that require you to kill Tagilla or Cultists, as their spawn rates should be much higher.
As of this writing, it’s unclear when the Escape From Tarkov Halloween event will end, but it’s unlikely to last much longer than Halloween itself.
That concludes the current information about the Escape From Tarkov Halloween event.
