Be aware of Scav house as it usually has a high population of Scav AI to contend with, but during the opening minutes of a raid few are likely to have spawned. Most enemies will be heading towards the lumber yard to the east of these spawns, so you’re most likely to take contact from the west. Try to move quickly ensuring your path is clear or find a spot to bed in and wait for players to come past you. If your spawn is close to the Scav house and Outskirts then be aware that players will likely be rotating around your position, however the dense foliage can mean that engagements will happen at close range. These spawn points are centred around the Outskirts extraction point and wrap around from The Boat to ZB-014. Try to stick to the trees where possible and maintain concealment to ensure you take the first shot.

These spawns are near some of the most open parts of the map, where the rocky trenches clear out the trees leaving long sight lines and plenty of players who can rush forward and get some early distance kills. Spawns on the west side of the map start at the west Border extraction point, and are interspersed along the west wall, with some near the UN Road Block near the north wall. This means traveling in parallel with those who spawned close, while colliding head on with those who didn’t. Players arriving at these spawns will need to cross to the opposite side. A cluster of points on the east side, near the roadblocks, and another grouping on the west, near Outskirts. The insertion positions on Woods follow the usual template of Escape From Tarkov. Whether you’re going after Shturman, other players, or just ticking off a few tasks, this guide will give you all the tools needed to survive your trip to the woods today, and come out with some rare guns, armour, and barter items via the Woods extracts. However, this feels more prominent in woods, where death can come from across the map in a single shot you never heard.

Surviving any raid in this Hardcore FPS can be a momentous task if you’re unprepared, so check out our guides on Escape from Tarkov ammo, how to extract from Customs, and our general tips on how to escape from Tarkov. Woods is probably one of the least forgiving maps, with limited loot available to those who don’t want to fight for it, incredibly long sight lines, and plenty of foliage to give enemies concealment. Knowing the spawns, extracts, and boss’s location and loadout can make every run far more profitable. Planning an excursion to woods? Worried about the dense tangle of trees and enemies? Knowing what you’re going in for is key to making the most of your run.
