Woods is a location in Escape from Tarkov. It is the third map that was added to the game.

Description[]

The Priozersky Natural Reserve recently became part of the state-protected wildlife reserves of the North Western Federal District.

Features[]

Be aware of Border Snipers and Minefields!

BTR patrol[]

A BTR-82A is traveling between different points on the location. It's neutral to all players, unless a player starts attacking it first, or someone has purchased the "covering fire" service recently. Traitor Scavs are considered hostiles.

It stays for 2 minutes at each stop while on patrol, and honks twice 10 seconds before departure.

The driver offers various services to his up to 4 passengers. Service cost depends on faction, Scav karma, Charisma level and travel distance.

Taxi service[]

Players can travel to any available point on the location in total safety.

Available stops: Emercom Base, Junction, Old Sawmill, Sawmill, Scav Bunker, Sunken Village, USEC Checkpoint.

BTR stops marked on map

Covering fire[]

PMCs can order covering fire with the help of BTR weaponry, which provides the safest possible drop-off at a stop. Only available after purchasing the taxi service.

If someone purchases this service, the BTR becomes hostile. When the service ends, the BTR becomes neutral to all players again.

Item extraction[]

PMCs can send items with the found in raid status to their stash when placing them in the BTR trunk. Items will arrive after 1 hour via the mail system.

The size of the BTR trunk is influenced by your Scav karma.

Scav karma	Trunk size
0-0.99	5x2
1-1.99	6x2
2-2.99	5x3
3-3.99	6x3
