In addition, a new temporary in-game currency is being introduced — Battle Points (BP), which can only be used during the Battle Pass period. BP is required to unlock Season 0 rewards and can be earned by completing quests or exchanged for Roubles and GP. Each reward is tied to a specific level and BP cost, meaning both level and currency are required to claim them.
Battle Pass: Season 0 features over 100 rewards, including new Tactical Clothing, Masks, Balaclavas, Glasses, Gear, GP Coins, Lega Medals, and Unique Supply Crates for EFT. All items obtained through the Battle Pass (excluding currency and Supply Crates) are permanent and will not be wiped after a progress reset.
A New Weapon Camouflage System
The highlight of Battle Pass: Season 0 is the Weapon Camouflage system, a new customization feature that allows players to alter the appearance of their weapons and attachments. This feature is enabled via a new item called the Weapon Paint Kit, which has unlimited uses and is unlocked as a Battle Pass reward.
Integration with Escape from Tarkov Arena
The new Tactical Clothing will be immediately available in both PvP and PvE modes of Escape from Tarkov. While not shown in the Flea Market, it will appear during character customization. Other rewards will become available through offers from Ref. Once the synchronization system between Escape from Tarkov Arena and Tarkov’s PvE mode is fully implemented, these items will also appear in PvE.
Battle Pass: Season 0 will be available for two months, with the possibility of an extension.

What is Escape from Tarkov Arena?
Escape from Tarkov Arena combines the hardcore mechanics of Escape from Tarkov and the fast-paced gameplay of session matches, offering players a new perspective on the Tarkov universe.

While corporations and private military companies wage their war in the streets, a mysterious group, the Masters of Arena, led by Ref, operate in the shadows.
