Escape from Tarkov Patch 1.1.5.0 Reworks Lighthouse Map
The rework directly answers the complaints a streamer raised to Battlestate Games at TGS 2025, where the developer's representative told him to get better instead of promising changes.

Battlestate Games began maintenance for Escape from Tarkov patch 1.1.5.0 on September 8. The update reworks the Lighthouse map. The water treatment plant, formerly the Rogue base, has all mines and fixed turrets removed, and the Rogue base moves to a mountain villa. Underground passages shorten the route to the southern extraction point, cover was added along the open road, and a BTR now patrols the area. Marked key rooms moved, transit to Icebreaker was added, and Lightkeeper tasks were fully reworked.
The rework answers a request made in public. At Tokyo Game Show 2025, Battlestate Games representative Nikita Buyanov held a Q&A where streamer Elutone asked for a Lighthouse rework, citing a lack of cover, frequent engagements, and a disadvantageous spawn on the sea side. Buyanov's reply was "You need to get better." The patch appears to deliver what was asked for.
The balance changes extend beyond the map. Armor was removed from face masks including the Shattered lightweight armored mask and the DevTac Samurai Menpo Mask. Maintenance for the patch is expected to run 5 to 7 hours, with completion projected between 21:00 and 23:00 JST.
