Starting May 29 at 11:00 AM EST, every action you take in a raid—from successful extractions to tactical eliminations—will yield significantly higher experience points. This isn't just a minor tweak; it's a massive opportunity for players currently grinding through the mid-game slump to finally unlock those elusive high-level trader loyalty tiers and better gear.
What makes this event particularly interesting is its accessibility. The boost applies to both PvP and PvE raids, ensuring that whether you prefer the high-stakes chaos of fighting other PMCs or the methodical progression of the solo/co-op experience, you're getting the same leg up. For those who already have edition-based bonuses, note that this 25% boost is a fixed value that supersedes existing multipliers rather than stacking on top of them, creating a level playing field for the entire community.
In a world where supply chains are cut and every bullet counts, efficiency is king. This bonus window is the perfect time to tackle those difficult tasks that require specific levels or to simply power-level a fresh character. You have until June 1 at 6:00 AM EST to make the most of the increased returns before the standard Tarkov grind returns to its usual punishing pace.
When does the XP boost end?
The event concludes on June 1, 2026, at 11:00 AM BST / 6:00 AM EST. Make sure you've completed your final extracts before the clock runs out to ensure your bonus XP is locked in.
