A limited-time Escape From Tarkov code lets you add its controversial director to your game

Escape From Tarkov game director Nikita Buyanov has always been a divisive presence, unafraid to speak his mind and ready to give much as he gets from the extraction shooter's hardcore community. He's long been the face of Tarkov, but now you can also make him the voice as well. Previously available as a free Twitch drop for watching streamers play, the Nikita Buyanov voice pack can be yours if you missed it thanks to a new EFT code.

The voice pack, which adds Buyanov's custom-recorded lines to both the USEC and BEAR factions in Escape From Tarkov. If you're playing as USEC, you'll hear him speaking English, while the BEAR dialogue is in Russian. It was originally one of three free Twitch drops that could be earned to celebrate the 1.0 launch of what's become one of the most influential FPS games on PC, popularizing the format that has expanded into everything from Arena Breakout Infinite and CoD Warzone's DMZ to the likes of Arc Raiders.

Due to some issues with the Twitch drops campaign not registering as intended for everyone, developer Battlestate Games has extended its subscriber offer. Alongside this, however, Buyanov himself has a treat for anyone that missed out. "Ok, due to crazy demand on my voice pack (thank you for that by the way), I made a promo code for those who are still without it. It will be active for three days."

You can unlock the Nikita Buyanov PMC voice pack with the promo code WILWILBE. This offer is expected to expire on Wednesday December 3, so be sure to use it before then. Codes can be redeemed via the official website or in the launcher. You should get a 'code activated' message if it works correctly.

Alongside this, the Escape From Tarkov Twitch drops campaign is being extended from its conclusion. The new program runs from Saturday November 29 until Saturday December 20, with three drops available if you buy, renew, or gift subscriptions to streamers that are currently broadcasting in the Escape From Tarkov category.

• 1 Subscription: Hideout customization set, including unique wall, ceiling, and floor variations.
• 3 Subscriptions: Twitch logo PMC dogtag for USEC and BEAR.
• 5 Subscriptions: Escape From Tarkov patch cap, Miller Bros. Blades M-2 Tactical Sword (brown), and 3×2 Secure Container 'Loui Peeton Belt Bag.'

Battlestate notes that "no changes have been made to the rewards themselves," so if you got them the first time around there's nothing new to unlock. Rewards are only available in PvP mode, but will persist even after wipes.
