A brand new location, Ground Zero, has arrived in Escape from Tarkov. The latest area comes equipped with several new structures and starter quests, and it introduces a new mechanic that allows players to jump over knee-high walls. 

Ground Zero looks like a modern-day city: banks, skyscrapers, stores, restaurants, and even a cafe. In the dead center of the city, players will find the main Russian branch office of TerraGroup, where the initial battle began. 

The new area has been made with new players in mind, as it is for those just starting at level one all the way up until level 20. Those already higher than level 20 as a PMC will not be able to access Ground Zero at this time, but Scavs of any level may access the location. 

For more seasoned players, a new boss has been added to the Streets of Tarkov;  Kollontay. Once an officer of the MVD, Kollontay was known for being a volatile and vile man who was feared by many of his co-workers. A few guards surround him, but mainly roams around the same area, so he is easy to spot. 

To start the encounter with the new boss, players will need to head over to the area around Klimov Shopping Mall and the Tarkov Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where, if given the upper hand, Kollontay will switch his weapon to the police baton to render a beating nobody will soon forget.
