From BattleState Games, the patch 0.3.1 update for Escape From Tarkov Arena has been released. Its main addition is a new map called Iceberg, now available in the BlastGang and CheckPoint modes.
Arena gladiators have already grown used to Tarkov’s harsh landscapes — after all, what difference does it make where you spill blood, yours or someone else’s? But this time, they’ll be greeted with luxury. The kind of luxury that makes you feel guilty for a missed shot that ruins the hotel’s expensive finish.

Once a forgotten Soviet resort in the Norvinsk region, the building was transformed into a VIP hotel in the early 2000s. New rumors are spreading through the city: the Escape From Tarkov Arena’s organizer has bought the hotel, and silence will never return to this place.
The developers at Battlestate Games have filled the map with generous references to Assassin’s Creed, Helldivers, Stephen King’s novels, and Tarantino’s films. Iceberg is both an action movie and a horror — players might feel like they’ve stepped into The Shining, 1408, or even Four Rooms.
In addition, patch 0.3.1 introduces ammo replenishment crates. Using them restores the loadout and pockets to their initial setup. These crates will appear in the Last Hero and CheckPoint modes, with 2–3 and 3–4 crates per match, respectively.
