Escape from Tarkov Update Unleashes 100% Boss Spawn Rates

Escape from Tarkov just got a major update that’s making waves in the community. As of May 10, 2025, Battlestate Games rolled out a weekly boss spawn rotation event, guaranteeing a 100% spawn rate for a different boss each week. If you’ve ever spent hours chasing down a boss for a quest, this change is a big deal. Let’s dive into what’s happening, how it affects your raids, and why players are so excited about it.

What’s This New Boss Spawn Event All About?

The Escape From Tarkov event kicked off with Reshala, the Scav boss on Customs, who had a 100% spawn rate from May 10 to May 16, 2025. That means he showed up in every raid on that map for a full week. It’s a first for Escape from Tarkov, and according to Insider Gaming, it came straight from player feedback. Whether you’re playing PvP or PvE, this event applies to both modes, which is great news for everyone. It’s all part of a series of updates building toward the game’s Version 1.0 release in December 2025.

How the Weekly Rotation Works

Each week, a new boss gets the 100% spawn treatment on their home map. Reshala led the charge on Customs, making quests like “The Huntsman Path – Trophy” a lot less frustrating. That quest asks you to kill him or grab his Golden TT pistol, and with him guaranteed to spawn, it’s never been easier. After May 16, the rotation shifted, but as of May 17, 2025, we don’t know who’s up next. Sites like Goon Tracker are a good bet for staying updated. Players are guessing it might be Glukhar on Reserve or Killa on Interchange based on community buzz.

Meet Reshala: The First Boss in the Spotlight

For those unfamiliar, Reshala is a Scav boss on Customs, usually found at the dorms or the new gas station with four or five guards. The official Tarkov wiki says he hangs back while his crew takes the fight to you, so focus on them first. His Golden TT pistol is a hot item for quests, so he’s a prime target. With a normal spawn rate of around 38-40%, having him guaranteed for a week was a game-changer.
