Knight

, also known as "Death Knight" is a Rogue Boss in Escape from Tarkov. He is the commander of the Rogue squad "The Goons". The other members are Big Pipe and Birdeye.

Location
Contrary to popular belief, the Goons do not "roam" between locations. They can be encountered at all the below locations at all times.

Lighthouse
At the water treatment plant and at the chalet. 

Customs
At the Scav base (ZB-013 extraction) building with the numerous mounted weapons. 

Woods
At the Scav bunker with the antenna. 

Shoreline
At the weather station. 

Behavior
When a player is spotted by any one of the goons, Big Pipe and Knight both rush the player.

Customs Fortress
The best way to deal with The goons on customs is to gain their attention while you are at crackhouse (medical building west of fortress). This can easily done by just waking around near the second story windows.

After gaining the attention of the goons your best choice to kill them would be to sit in a room such as dining room in the first floor and close the door, as this will create a small time period of them opening the door allowing you to shoot them with no repercussions.

Keep in mind that Birdeye will stay behind and wait till the action is over to show himself. In order to get Birdeye to show himself you either can wait for him to push you after you kill Knight and Big Pipe, or you could throw

grenades in his direction in order to pinpoint his location.

Shoreline Weather Station
You first want to want to get the attention of The Goons. This can be easily done by playing a game of "Chicken" with them by quickly running up and down the hill until you hear voice lines or you start getting shot at.

Once you gain their attention you want to run down the hill a little bit and wait for them to push you. Make sure not to hold an angle where only your head is exposed, such as leaning behind a tree.

Both knight and Big Pipe will rush towards you, giving you a chance to shoot them. After Big Pipe and Knight are dealt with Birdeye will reposition to find an angle on you, or he will rush you.

Birdeye is an extremely easy kill if he's out in the open and in close range. If he decides to reposition your best options are to throw grenades to find him or try to get him to rush you by continuously re-peeking him until he pushes you.

Woods Bridge Overlook
Due to The Goons extremely long spotting distance it is a hard task in order to fight them at this location. This means that trying to fight them at this location is a very high risk decision. It is advised to not engage them if the are present.

Lighthouse Chalet
Try to push into the chalet and wait in the first floor sauna room for them to push you. Use the rocks on the east side in order to safely enter the building.
