Tarkov squad map: share a destination and stay together

Your next three steps

1. 01

   Create or join a group

   Share the group code with your teammates. Locked groups use join approval.

2. 02

   Agree on a destination

   Choose a meeting point, quest objective or extraction and check that everyone is looking at the same map.

3. 03

   Read teammate status

   Check paused or offline states and the latest available positions before assuming a marker is current.

Share the destination, keep individual progress

A marker gives the group a common point to discuss. Use it for a meeting place, a next objective or an extraction plan rather than relying on several different descriptions of the same building. Check floors when a destination is inside a multi-level area.

Common quests can guide the team, but each player still manages their own checklist. One completed step in a teammate’s plan should not overwrite another person’s progress. Agree on the next step and update your personal completion after doing it.

Use group controls deliberately

Keep the group code within your squad. Lock the group when you want new members to require approval, and use the available leader or moderator controls to manage the roster. Squad chat provides a compact place for messages and quick reactions.

Windows notifications can alert you to join requests and squad messages even when the app is in the tray. Notification types and sound are configurable, so you can keep the signals that help your group without leaving every alert enabled.

A last known position is still a last known position

Position sharing depends on each teammate’s available screenshot updates. Pause state, offline status and update age are important context. A marker that has not moved is not evidence that the player is still standing there.

If you use local sharing for a phone or tablet, open the address shown by the app on the same trusted network. That view can contain minimap and group positions. Stop the service when you no longer need it and keep the address within that network.

• Pick one next destination before moving.
• Check map and floor when a callout is ambiguous.
• Respect paused and offline states.
• Keep group codes and local map sharing within your trusted squad.
