Escape from Tarkov's New Edition Makes Fans Feel Outraged and Betrayed

Adding fuel to the fire, other features of the Unheard Edition, such as an “enhanced stash size”, “increased Fence standing” and a “unique in-game melee weapon”, have been labeled as ‘pay-to-win’ by players. 

The uproar has spread across various platforms, with the community expressing their frustration on Twitter, the official community forums, and Reddit.

Moderators of the Reddit channel — boasting 913k members, despite being non-official — have declared ‘The gates are open’, indicating that posts about the new edition will largely be allowed. This is in stark contrast to the official Discord server, where almost all channels have been muted to prevent a flood of negative comments.
