New event in Escape From Tarkov introduces smugglers with unique loot

A new event in Escape From Tarkov introduces smugglers as enemies, who carry unique loot. Players can complete a quest from Skier to find and deliver locked cases, which are new items in the game. The event began recently without an official announcement, but a social media video hinted at its features. Players will unlock additional quests by defeating smugglers and opening crates. This event is simpler than previous ones, with no current plans for expansion. A major winter wipe is expected soon, bringing significant changes, including a map rework and new weapons.
