Beloved tactical shooter, ‘Escape from Tarkov’, recently launched the beta phase for a multiplayer Arena mode, sparking frustration among veteran players who report being unable to access it. But is this truly the case? Let’s find out.
Escape from Tarkov Arena Beta access
The Escape from Tarkov Arena beta launched on December 17, 2023. It is a standalone game project that offers gladiator fights in hidden arenas within the Tarkov setting.
Players require an official invitation from the developers, Battlestate, to gain access to the beta. However, according to multiple reports, veteran players are still not receiving invitations, causing significant discontent within the longstanding player community.
However, in reality, there is still hope for many players. According to available information, it appears that invitation distribution is ongoing. They are reportedly being issued in waves, and those who haven’t been invited in the first wave may receive an invitation in subsequent waves.
If they still don’t get an invite, fortunately, there is another way…
How to get the arena access?
Players who are less likely to be invited, such as newcomers, can potentially gain access to the Arena mode by purchasing the “Edge of Darkness” version of the game, currently available for pre-order on the official website.
The “Edge of Darkness” edition currently carries a price tag of $150. Here’s everything the pack offers:
- Guaranteed instant access to closed beta
- Digital copy pre-load
- Large stash size (10×68)
- Additional equipment and resources in the stash
- Initially good standing with all in-game traders
- Unique in-game ID
- Free access to all subsequent DLCs (Season pass)
The pre-order is only available for a limited time. However, there are still some reports that claim even after owning “Edge of Darkness”, they are not getting access to the Arena, so purchase the pack on your own caution.
