Escape from Tarkov Beta 0.15.0 Patch trailer teases introduction of grenade tripwires and players are already dreading it

Escape from Tarkov is set to receive a wipe when Patch 0.15.0.0 rolls out. The upcoming patch will be released on August 20, Think of a wipe in Escape from Tarkov as a complete reboot, where players lose all progress and loot that they have managed since the previous wipe.

While the wipe was expected by fans, there’s a new feature coming to Escape from Tarkov which has fans worried. A new trailer for Patch 0.15.0.0 was released on August 14, which teased everything new that’s coming to Escape from Tarkov.

Among those upcoming features, was the ability to set up grenade trip mines. These trip mines can be placed anywhere, allowing players to set up traps, lure people in, and wait for the eventual bang.

While grenade trip mines are not something people have not heard of, their inclusion in Escape from Tarkov does raise eyebrows. Players are worried that they are now in for some of the most annoying and frustrating moments while playing the game. This is due to the gameplay of Escape from Tarkov where players lose all their equipped items when they die.

There's no fucking way you're allowing people to set grenade tripwires.

The toxicity and rage-quitting is about to be beyond understandable. 😂Can't wait for Spawn camping to be augmented with "Let's set up 26 tripwires and rake in the loot!"

I am really not looking forward to trip mines. Sounds unfun and frustrating to be on receiving end…

Some players are also worried that the addition of grenade tripwires will lead to an increase in toxicity and rage-quits. “The toxicity and rage-quitting is about to be beyond understandable”, commented a player under the official trailer post.

There’s mixed feelings about the upcoming grenade tripwires, with some players looking forward to making use of the new strategy. Here are some of the best reactions:

Well, it remains to be seen how the introduction of tripwires will really turn out, but one thing is for sure, you really need to be on your toes at every corner more than ever now in Escape from Tarkov.
