Current Tarkov wipe status
Bottom line: there is no scheduled mandatory wipe of your main PMC. The last full server wipe landed with Escape from Tarkov 1.0 on 15 November 2025 (patch 1.0.0.0). That 1.0 era is still the live main realm. 
Season 1 is a separate queue.

Seasons vs Traditional Wipes (Post-1.0)
Before 1.0, Battlestate ran roughly half-year mandatory wipes: every PMC, stash, and trader progress reset together. At 1.0 the studio split that into a persistent main realm and an opt-in seasonal realm that starts everyone together. Patch 1.1.0.0 shipped that split as Kord Breach.
| Topic | Old wipe | 1.0 season |
|---|---|---|
| Who resets | Everyone, forced | Only players who opt into the seasonal queue |
| Main character | Wiped | Untouched |
| Stash / economy | Server-wide wipe | Main persists; fresh economy in the seasonal realm only |
| Modifiers | Mostly the same rules each wipe | Global season rules plus optional personal easier/harder rules. Insurance is off in the seasonal queue |
 Cadence | ~4–8 months historically | A new season every 4–6 months. Seasonal rewards that stay locked at the end of Kord Breach become unobtainable |
Season 1 name: Kord Breach. Global modifiers apply to every seasonal character and cannot be toggled off. Personal modifiers are optional: harder rules grant points, easier rules spend them, and the balance must stay at 0 or above. The live list sits on the seasonal character-creation screen.
The official 1.1.0.0 note also added a free Battle Pass shared across PvP Season, PvP Zone, and PvE Zone. Progress comes from TerraGroup documentation found in raids, from the Kord Breach task line, and from certain Black Division operatives. A daily find-limit applies. Classified Documents can stand in for any other document and sit in the Expansion Hub. Seasonal rewards that you unlock stay on the account in every mode. Rewards still locked when Kord Breach ends become unobtainable.
Trader prices rose about 25 % in 1.1.0.0. Traders pay about 20 % less for items you sell. The flea fee moved from 3 % to 5 %. Several common FMJ loads got cheaper at the traders. Those economy lines apply in every mode, including the persistent main realm.
Tarkov Wipe History. Last 10 Wipes
Completed full-wipe lengths below. The 1.0.0.0 row is the live main realm. A new season is a different character. The main stash is already past the old 6-month clock.

Among the 9 completed rows the lengths run 128–236 days. The old “every 6 months” line was a rule of thumb. Battlestate never posted a recurring weekday for those resets.

What Happens on a Wipe (and on a Season Start)
Classic wipe checklist (what veterans mean when they say wipe day):
- PMC level, skills, trader standing, quests reset to wipe-start values.
- Stash gear / currency / hideout progress wipe (editions may keep some stash size).
- Flea Market locks until the usual level and reputation gates.
- Map meta restarts: pistol and SMG early fights, then mid-wipe kits, then late-wipe lasers.
On a season start the same fresh-character feeling applies inside the seasonal realm. Your main profile stays. Seasonal characters live on separate servers. Insurance is off in that queue. Locked Kord Breach rewards become unobtainable when the season ends; unlocked rewards stay on the account in every mode.
Day one of a season or wipe, the same skill is an EFT carry after wipe: quests and raids on the fresh character.
Stash ₽ on the permanent profile is roubles after the last wipe. Seasonal characters are a different clock.
The task list that actually flips is which Tarkov quests reset.
1.1.5.0 also changed Icebreaker access: the map now opens from Shoreline and from Lighthouse. The rouble fare is gone. You spend a one-time Sudak-tudak marine repair kit, unlocked through Ragman’s Pay the Fare chain, then topped up by operational tasks. Lightkeeper’s To the Light chain now wants Lighthouse access through Tour, Loyalty Level 3 with every trader except Fence and Ref, and a question to Mechanic. None of those lines reset a main PMC.

A new seasonal PMC starts at 1. A PRO levels the character you just opted into.

Trader standing resets on the seasonal character. Mechanic is how mods and late ammo come back.
FleaFlea Market Unlock - Level 15
The flea locks again on a fresh PMC. Level 15 is the usual gate.
When Is the Next Tarkov Wipe / Season?
Official answer: Season 1 Kord Breach is live. It launched on 3 August 2026 with patch 1.1.0.0. Servers were down 6–8 hours for that morning’s deploy, which is why some clocks date the season from the 4th. Patch 1.1.5.0 on 8 September 2026 was a Lighthouse patch. The main realm stayed.
| Estimate type | Window | Why | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Next season | 4–6 months after 3 August 2026 | Official season cadence. Seasonal progression resets with the next major content update | CADENCE |
| Historical 6-month from last wipe | ~May–Jun 2026 | 15 November + ~180d. Already passed without a forced wipe, because seasons replaced it | OBSOLETE MODEL |
| Exact next wipe day | No Battlestate day-lock in public notes | NOT ANNOUNCED |
