Escape from Tarkov extraction planning: find a workable way out

Your next three steps

1. 01

   Read the in-game exit list

   A marker shows where an extraction reference belongs. It does not prove the extraction is open, paid for, powered or otherwise available in your current raid. Read the game’s conditions and match the exit name carefully.

2. 02

   Check the approach and requirements

   Review the distance before adding another objective. Loot weight, detours and unfamiliar terrain can make a return take longer than the outbound trip. Choose an earlier point at which to turn toward extraction rather than relying on a last-minute sprint.

3. 03

   Keep a fallback route

   Keep another available extraction in mind and identify the first landmark on its route. In a squad, agree on the change before splitting directions. Update the shared destination and check the latest position age when a teammate appears not to be moving.

Separate the marker from availability

A marker shows where an extraction reference belongs. It does not prove the extraction is open, paid for, powered or otherwise available in your current raid. Read the game’s conditions and match the exit name carefully.

Plan the approach as well as the final point. A route can cross a floor transition, locked passage or exposed area. Inspect the surrounding map before assuming that the straight navigation line represents a walkable path.

Budget for the return journey

Review the distance before adding another objective. Loot weight, detours and unfamiliar terrain can make a return take longer than the outbound trip. Choose an earlier point at which to turn toward extraction rather than relying on a last-minute sprint.

Recover from a blocked plan

Keep another available extraction in mind and identify the first landmark on its route. In a squad, agree on the change before splitting directions. Update the shared destination and check the latest position age when a teammate appears not to be moving.
