‘Escape From Tarkov’ disables Flea Market and makes Labs free

nme.com:

Battlestate Games has disabled the Flea Market in Escape From Tarkov, locking away the online market for any player below an impossible level 99.As what is almost certainly part of a pre-wipe event for Escape From Tarkov, developer Battlestate Games has locked the Flea Market for anyone below level 99.

Achieving level 99 is impossible as it’s far above Tarkov’s level cap, meaning the Flea Market is closed for business. This means that players will have to rely on what they can purchase from in-game NPC traders, or what they can scavenge from within raids.The closure of the Flea Market isn’t the only big event in Escape From Tarkov today (December 10).
