In Escape from Tarkov: Arena, Battle Pass: Season 0 introduces a brand-new progression system for players, designed to reward skill and determination with generous prizes. The system includes 150 progression levels, which can be advanced by fighting in the Arena and completing daily and weekly tasks.
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.
Weapon Camouflages
The highlight of Battle Pass: Season 0 is the Weapon Camouflage system — a new customization feature allowing 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
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 EFT: 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.
