Escape From Tarkov - Overhaul 2.0 (experimental early release) w/ Patch for v2.5 is mainly worth checking through enemy spawns and pressure, food, water, farming, or medicine route, class, perk, book, or level progression, crafting gates and workstations, loot and trader value, and enemy and blood-moon pressure. Do that in a copied save or test server before changing a main world.
Use 7 Days to Die Mods listing for exact file names, branches, screenshots, and update notes, then confirm the in-game behavior listed above still works after a restart.
- Check normal POIs, night travel, blood moon, loot bags, and server spawn limits before raising difficulty.
- Check early survival, recipe unlocks, trader value, crop growth, and server restart behavior.
- Compare the first week with vanilla: where recipes unlock, which books matter, and whether early roles change.
- Check whether core tools, stations, vehicles, food, weapons, or late-game materials move behind new gates.
