The Lab is possibly the hardest Escape From Tarkov map in the game, mostly for the fact it contains six to ten souped-up PMC players and supercharged AI Scavs. Many players enter The Lab, but very few manage to escape. You’ll also want to keep an eye on the time – especially if you find yourself on the edge of the map towards the end of a 35 minute raid. Since this map is quite big, use the power lines above as a way of keeping tabs on where you are. While this map, which hosts ten to 13 PMCs, offers a room with a view, going further inland reveals a dense sprawl of woodland and seaside towns that you can easily get lost in. Shoreline is another mid to late-game map that’s quite diverse in terms of its offerings.

Since situations in Reserve can get complicated quickly, we’d recommend running the map in offline mode before you play it for the first time. The outside of Reserve is pretty easy to navigate, but things get complicated as you venture further and further inside. In other words, if you’re not well equipped and prepared to sit patiently on the roofs of buildings and fight off Raiders, then chances are you won’t survive on this map, which hosts nine to 12 PMCs during 30 minute slots. Once you’ve got that down, extracting is a doddle. You’ll need to look for bigger points of interest here or unusually shaped rocks in order to get around. Woods is probably one of the worst Escape From Tarkov maps to get to grips with because it can be quite hard to distinguish one tree from another, but stick with it. Raids here last 25 minutes, but they can contain anywhere between eight to 14 PMCs at any given time, so it can get pretty heated. Woods is a sniper’s haven, with lots of big rocks and dense woodland covering their tracks. The maps for Factory can be pretty confusing, but once you’ve worked your way around the underground tunnels, the Factory layout is pretty easy to get to grips with – just be patient. It’s usually the place to go if you’re after quick raids and close-quarters combat, although a new boss armed with a sledgehammer is certainly making people think twice about playing here. These are pretty easy to find and should be your go-to extract points while you learn what’s what.įactory is the smallest Escape From Tarkov map in the game, hosting just four to six PMC players during 15 minute raids. There are a number of extracts inside the mall, but the two most popular are outside on opposite sides of the map.
Interchange hosts 10-14 PMCs during 35 minute raids, but the majority of players will head inside to fight over the good loot. Set in and around a big shopping mall, there are plenty of places for people to hide.
Interchange is usually a map you’ll find yourself playing early on. You’ll usually spawn on one side of the map in Customs, forcing you to traverse pretty much the entire map to extract.
A lot of the early game quests take place on this map, which hosts 8-12 PMCs during the 25 minute raid. Customs is one of the most popular Escape From Tarkov maps, and it’s also the one you’ll become best acquainted with as a new player.
