During an interview on Twitch on June 23 it was mentioned that Collimator red dots are being reworked. It was implied this would happen in the 'next patch', so we can imagine that the 12.11 has an optics rework of some sort. There's also been talk of an email from Battlestate Games going around which references a sale coming this weekend - June 25-26 - which arrives in time for the 0.12.11 update. Which as we all know, hasn't been released yet. More to follow, but it's possible the update is imminent. Have a watch of the video below for more details.

The game’s director and game developers Battlestate Games; COO Nikita Buyanov mentioned some information about the upcoming Escape From Tarkov patch 12.11. It was summarized by user TarkovReporter on the official Reddit page of the game.

One of the most notable things he mentioned is patch 12.11’s ‘possible iteration of weapon malfunctions which will include misfires based on durability.’

Also, the stock weapons from traders might have a ‘range of durability,’ wherein there could be a possibility of having different tiers of weapon durability.

Sights may also be reworked in patch 12.11 to make these ‘closer to real-life.’ These could be seen in red dots and other add-ons. The game’s graphics could also be ‘redone from scratch' to make them ‘more beautiful and modern.’
