Factory is a location in Escape from Tarkov. It is the first location to be added in the game.

Description

The industrial estate and facilities of the chemical plant No.16 were rented out illegally to the TerraGroup company. During the Contract Wars the premises of the plant became a scene for numerous firefights between USEC and BEAR that determined control over the industrial district of Tarkov.

Later on, in the wake of chaos, the plant facilities turned into a shelter for remaining civilians, Scavs and all kinds of straggling military and armed forces, including scattered remains of USEC and BEAR.

    Strategies

    • Despite the fact Factory may have an insane difficulty, the location is best for starters as it has the most action as well as its loot can be easily found.
    • It is suggested to not go kitted in this map, as ambushes are more common in this location than any other. If you die, you lose all your stuff. It is suggested to bring this:
      • A shotgun, AKS-74U, or a standard handgun
        • If you bring a shotgun, do not bring a vest (unless you are using a Saiga-12), and put shotgun shells in your pockets. Same for the handgun, put magazines in the pockets as well.
        • If you bring a weapon that uses 1x2 space magazines (such as the AKS-74U or the Saiga-12), use Scav vests, as they are extremely common around the game.
        • Bring PACA armor if you have some.
    • Factory is a favorite for players who use hatchets to gain loot without any loss of equipment. Be careful of ambushes by these "hatchlings" (players who commonly use hatchets as a main weapon) as they are quick and mobile, and without preparation, can kill you easily in a few strokes.
