The change makes the Kappa Container realistically achievable for experienced players, lowering a long-standing endgame grind just before the introduction of the season system.

Battlestate Games announced changes to the task system in Escape from Tarkov's upcoming update 1.1.0.0, significantly relaxing the conditions for obtaining the Kappa Container. The new requirements reduce the prerequisite tasks to four, demand higher trader loyalty and Fence reputation, and lower the effective level to 40. The update is due by the end of July, and the current "Kappa Path" achievement will become unobtainable after Season 1 begins.
The Kappa Container is the largest secure container in Escape from Tarkov, currently awarded for completing the Collector task. That task has long required clearing most side tasks, reaching level 45, and collecting rare streamer items, often leaving players stuck on the last few. According to the July 16 announcement, the task system overhaul in patch 1.1.0.0 will drop many of those requirements. Only four tasks-Chemical - Part 4, A Shooter Born In Heaven, The Tarkov Shooter - Part 4, and Sew it Good - Part 4-will remain mandatory, alongside a Fence reputation of 3 or higher and loyalty level 4 for other traders. The required level appears to be 40. Players who obtain the Kappa under the new conditions will receive a new achievement, while the current "Kappa Path" achievement will no longer be available after Season 1 starts.
