Woods Map Guide (including expansion) - New Players Guide - Escape from Tarkov

This guy is a legend to us noobies

[@RuanFourieStix]

His videos are great for me as a new player that has only been playing for 3 days. But the whole "crrrrrack right into it thing is so lame" it puts me off completely. It's so cringy and akward it makes me anxious and uncomfortable. Like I'm watching someone who can't sing, try to sing on one of those "talent shows".

[@ToddHoward3]

@@RuanFourieStix tf is wrong with you? Why are you so annoyed by literally two seconds of video? He makes great guides and I honestly don’t find it that cringy since it’s something he’s always done. It’s more cringe how you’re so offended by it lol.

[@RuanFourieStix]

@@ToddHoward3 well,seeing as I'm subscribed to his channels (all of them) and I also pay monthly to watch him on Twitch, clearly not that much is wrong with me and the two seconds didn't annoy me that much. But why are you so annoyed by me simply saying that his intro quip makes me uncomfortable? You ok there my dude? You seem a little tense.

[@ToddHoward3]

@@RuanFourieStix sorry but if you re-read your comment you made it seem like you are very annoyed by it. “it makes me anxious and uncomfortable” and “it puts me off completely” is what your wrote. That’s the issue with commenting, you can’t tell the tone of the person who’s commenting. Like I’m not that annoyed and I could care less but maybe you are the same and I just took the comment the wrong way. Either way forget it lol

Sir, you have helped me so much in getting my bearings with maps. I had practically given up on Tarkov, but I found new interest and watched your videos to get me an idea of how Customs works. I just so happened to start seriously playing again less than a week before the wipe. I still have a lot to learn but I greatly appreciate your tutorials and feel more confident that I won't get hopelessly lost in the next raid. Have a good one!

[@kaeru-o1d]

I had been lost on this map for a long time and had never made it back alive. But with your video I found my way home. It was very, very, very helpful! Thank you. Sorry my poor English.

[@mateusz_0]

Im Happy to hear that you learn the map😁👍

[@samjcarine]

Honestly man, woods was warming up to me last wipe around the end, with some sick night raids and such. Now, its my favorite map because of the expansion. So much loot and the pvp is so enjoyable. They really did a good job.

Haha, same! It was up until now pretty much always available!

[@dad4life269]

Found two pmc guys as a scav. One was looking at me and leaned. I leaned back thinking it was a scav. His buddy then popped out and dropped me a svd with a scope and mags. I couldn't believe it. We then made our way to factory gate. They killed scavs when necessary but I just kept my knife out and let them fight. Every time I'd pull my weapon they were watching me so I felt it'd be better to keep the knife out. They fed me along the way and gave me two quest items I needed as well. Best experience yet.

[@lowieeeeeeetn]

Been avoiding woods due to the expansion and being comfortable else where lmao, definately gonna jump in and give it a try now. Another great vid pestily!

[@narhwallord6985]

With how big it is now it is one of the safer maps once you get to know it! If you have trouble with fights it is really easy to disengage on this map, and there's so much loot to be had. It has easily become my go to map. If I feel like sniping I can go almost anywhere and just chill out with a good LOS on a high traffic area. If I feel like making money, I have my loot run down to a T (plus lots of scavs to kill on the way for XP and fun ;]) If I want some PvP I go to Lumber Yard and just get sniped in the head lolol

The boat - near the boat "seat" - that connects to the sunken church and inside the church tower - at least 2 spawns - can also spawn rare(ish) stuff, at least horses and goldchains, personally found, have also been told of a roler but can't confirm. Think this wasn't specifically refered.

Spawned out of bounds. Started blowing up. Nice

One of the FOB watchtowers has 2x wooden boxes and the stacked containers have a stair leading up to them. The containers have iirc 5 ammo spawns (found a ton of snb, bs, bt, 7n1, 7n31, 762x39 bp, ap6.3 and many many re) as well as 3 weapon boxes. One of each size except the green big one.

[@jensmo5188]

In the Foward Operating Base there is a long container, which has a medspawn in the end. I believe you can find ledx there. I found Grizzlys and Ophthalmoscopes there. So basicly same loot as in Ledx spawns. Would be nice if some of you check the spot and see if you find any :).

hey Pestily, firstly i want to say thanks for the effort you put into these videos its been a big help for me as a new player learning woods, but if i can give you some valuable feedback from a new players point of view that watches your videos to learn these maps, i realize when you make these videos you try to cram in as much information as you can in as little time as possible which i guess is one way to make these videos and obviously your very successful with your method, BUT it would be nice especially for new players like me that are trying to learn the maps if you might be able to consider just slowing down a little bit like when you are moving through an area showing the loot crates you open them but then move on without searching or showing the loot inside, i know this is for you to save time but for new players learning it would be nice for us to see what is in the crates, honestly if it means the video is going to 5 mins longer because of this then thats ok man dont worry we are still going to watch the whole video even if its a little longer and at the end of the day that also means you get more watchtime on your videos which also helps you video with the yt algorithm, not only will it help us but it will help you too, also if you think about it how viewers learn and take in information, when the information is very fast and alot of info comming in thats alot to process and retain, i think new players are going to retain alot more of that infomation if you take just a little extra time and slow it down a little, i hope you take this feedback as me trying to give you valuable feedback from a new players point of view, apart from that the video's are very good and ive learnt alot even though ive had to pause and re watch sections to help retain the info i still appreciate the effort you put in to helping us learn, but yeah it would be nice for us to see whats in the crates, not every single crate but mainly ones that are going to have items we need to upgrade our hideouts and items we will need for tasks, for example on woods there is the yeagers hideout task where you have to find a letter at his camp, and the plane item for a task ect... it would be nice if you took a little extra time to show exactly where things like that spawn, anyway ive rambled on enough, cheers and thanks for the videos you gained another subscriber
