The overhaul replaces the linear, chain-like task progression with a loyalty-level-based system that gives players more freedom and reduces the risk of getting stuck on a single task.

Battlestate Games announced on July 27 that update 1.1.0.0 for Escape from Tarkov will overhaul the task system. The new system ties task unlocks to trader loyalty levels instead of a linear chain, lets players skip disliked tasks, and shifts rewards toward currency. The update is scheduled for the end of this month.
Battlestate Games detailed the task system overhaul for Escape from Tarkov update 1.1.0.0 on July 27. The current chain-like progression, where clearing specific prerequisite quests unlocks the next tasks, will be replaced. Under the new system, task unlocks depend on each trader's loyalty level (LL). At LL1, players can accept basic tasks, and clearing some of them allows progression to LL2, with higher-level tasks being more difficult.
Task rewards will shift from barter items and equipment to in-game currency like rubles. Most barter assortments previously unlocked as task rewards will now be tied to loyalty levels, such as the Tri-Zip backpack at Ragman LL3 and the DevTac Ronin helmet at Mechanic LL2. Some tasks remain chain-like and unlock rare barter assortments and crafts, with rewards visible before accepting. The update also introduces a season system with customizable modifiers and relaxes conditions for the Secure Container Kappa.
