Escape from Tarkov
The latest Escape from Tarkov wipe was added as part of patch 0.14.0.0 on 27th December 2023. Battlestate Games released a new location along with this wipe for players to enjoy and it is none other than Ground Zero. This is notably the tenth location to be added to Tarkov and it features many infrastructure facilities that can be seen in any modern city including banks, cafes, restaurants, stores, pharmacies, and other.
Apart from the new location, the latest wipe brought forth new boss Kollontay and other major changes to the recoil system. In addition to these, However, the Tarkov player base by was caught surprise by snow in Escape from Tarkov.
However, one of the major talking points in the Tarkov online community ever since the latest wipe dropped has been "insurance." Many players have been complaining on forums that their insurance is not working post the 27th December 2023 wipe.
Here's all we know about this bug from community posts online.
What Is Insurance in Escape From Tarkov?
In Escape from Tarkov, insurance allows players to retrieve any items that have not been extracted from a raid. The only catch is that there will be a delay. Players should know that they can only insure gears including weapons and armors, containers like a key tool, documents case, item case and even intel items like paper maps. The game does not allow players to insure consumables.
Just as any other system, there are quite a few exceptions when it comes to insurance in Tarkov. The following items are exempt from being insured:
Secure containers
Compass
Melee weapons (except the Cultist knife)
Armbands
The items that you insure items have a thick yellow outline around the stash space they are found in.
Is Insurance Not Working in Escape from Tarkov?
There were multiple posts on Reddit and the Tarkov forum about insurance not working in Tarkov after the latest wipe. One Redditor posted, "Insurance not working? I haven't got a single thing back since wipe. Not even a pistol mag or mask. Anyone else?"
Commenting on this, another player explained that the insurance system is bugged. However, they speculated that it could just be bugged for some people.
On the contrary, another player wrote that the original poster [OP] might just be unlucky with their insurance. The comment added, "I have been getting mine occasionally. people are just taking everything they can get early wipe."
It is still unclear if this is a bug for all players or if it is completely random. Players are expecting a bug fix from Battlestate Games very soon as the 'Insurance not working' error seems to be live even at the time of writing this article.
