significant overhaul.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Good news, Escape from Tarkov fans: the games most annoying quest is no more. 
Well, its still included by name , but its most infuriating aspect has 
thankfully been sent into the sun, hopefully never to be seen again. 

The quest in question is A Shooter Born In Heaven. Prior to Tarkov s latest 
patch (0.13.5, which was released last week), the quest required players to 
eliminate a certain number of enemies from a set distance. As NME reports , 
originally, players had to take out three private military contractor (PMC) 
enemies at a distance of 100m or more across four specific locations. Sadly 
for anyone with a hatred of long-range weapons, the devs then decided to up 
the ante, and this requirement was later altered to 125m or more, making it 
even harder. 

As of the new patch, 'A Shooter Born In Heaven' mercifully doesnt have any 
objectives centered around the distance of your shots. Now, players must take 
to the Streets of Tarkov, Shoreline, Woods, Reserve, Customs, Lighthouse, and 
Interchange, where theyre tasked with taking out five PMC operatives with 
headshots while using the bolt-action rifle. To be clear, thats five enemies 
in each location, for a total of 35 eliminations, so its still not the 
speediest quest in the world, but the change to its objective will surely be 
a relief to some. 

 Escape from Tarkov s new patch also wiped players progress for the first 
time this year - everyones inventories, stats, mission progress, and skills 
have been totally reset. If youve been playing Tarkov for a while, the 
concept of the wipe obviously wont be anything new to you, but itd be 
understandable if newer players were feeling a bit glum about the loss of 
their progress. At least itll be easier to get 'A Shooter Born in Heaven' 
completed again this time, though.
