Woods Map Guide - New Players Guide - Escape from Tarkov

[@JosephAgrane]

This whole map: There’s a rock here, and a rock here. Sometimes there’s a rock here and if you go prone in this rock right here you might see another rock right... here.

[@Saeblundr]

Use the rock as your reference point. To the left of that rock, through the trees just there, aim for the rock, to the left of the other rock, and then rock on forward until you rock on out.

[@LuzuVlogsGamer]

[@sirplayalot1020]

Now behind that rock is ZB-016 that you could extract from and die in trying because someone is camping the entrance

[@mozar94]

I saw what you did there 17:03 , poor Anton XD

[@JesterWhoHelps]

I bought this game over a year ago but never played it, was waiting for it to flesh itself out more. I wanted to finally get into it and searched for new players guide, wasn't expecting one to be uploaded only 7 hours ago! Nice video, very informative, thank you!

[@MongooseTacticool]

It's worth spending some time playing :) Hope you enjoy it!

[@RealHypocrisy]

talk about timing lol

[@slaaneshi4197]

The rock he mentioned at 8:20 next to the bunker has an ammo case, not a weapon case. Also, at the end of the video when he was next to silencer shack there is a dead guy on the waters edge you can go to. It has a chance to spawn batteries, lion statues, and cat figurines.

[@v1.61]

"Ok, so the spawn is hiya. and the rock is hiya"

[@voteZDLR]

I was exploring this map in offline mode and stumbled across Shturman. I know it was him because it took like 20 ADAR shots to his face to bring him down. That and he had some pretty sweet weapons on him. I was like "damn it if only this was actually online"

[@Revilerify]

If it was online, you would've been mosine'd the second you started putting rounds on him

[@voteZDLR]

@@Revilerify I've since beaten Shturman twice on Woods and I didn't notice he was any more or less difficult in Online mode, but granted when I practice Offline I always practice with Scavs and I always set their difficulty to "As Online" so maybe that's why. I dunno. He's not that hard of a boss unless you allow him to get shots on you, the closer the range the better. I can't even imagine fighting him truly close range, I always end up in sniper duels with him basically lol

[@lolhavefun9201]

voteZDLR he’s talking about other pmcs lol

[@voteZDLR]

@@lolhavefun9201 Oh yeah in that case lol that happens all the time. Not even just mosin, any long range rifle is fair game on that map...

[@jamesfrye8753]

Nice, had time to watch this entire video while waiting on a match.

[@kebman]

Awesome! I did a test run just now, for the 2nd scav quest from Prapor. Yeah, once the first wave spawned and started spraying my ass, I ran straight into a second wave that pinned me down from some rocks. Bloody hell, that's some scav army going on there!

[@thelonewanderer69]

GENERAL SAM! More seriously, thank you for the overview. I think I spawned near sniper rock and had no idea where I was. Couldn't find an extract but I thought I was near the Abandoned town...Made my way down the coast and got blown up by mines next to a gate lol.

[@AsterixVonTWC]

Pestily m8, could you please don a flashlight tactical on your pistols for when you are jmin dark areas? Awwsome work thanks

[@KinKaray]

There is also a Loot Box left at the Pick Up truck @ 2:35

[@mellotron_scratch]

I know its late but i want to update you with some spawns going from UN roadblock to RUAF roadblock. 1. Next to that military truck,closer to RUAF roadblock, sitting on a tire MBSS backpack spawns sometimes. 2. Next to the blue container beside the wall Paca armos spawns sometimes. Its cool to know if you spawn without armor or a backpack.

[@DrunkScout]

Dude, amazingly detailed videos. Thank you so much for these. Now I low crawl around Woods with confidence =D

[@NotSoLuckyDucky]

At 11:35 is that a gun on the ground next to the pile of lumber?

[@tomnook15]

Lucky Duck seems so

[@howdy4786]

at ZB-14 key ive pretty much every time found 1-2 60-round mags either in the shelves or on the floor right infront of them

[@Deverseeee]

Very solid content helped me alot in EFT :-) Keep on your good work

[@tylermosley9972]

He says its the worst map for loot but I personally disagree, I think its the best map to loot as a scav, there are tons of bodies from geared players and the amount of scavs that are on your side really help you deal with geared pmc's. There is also the lumbermill where you can find valuable items such as paracords and you can luck out and loot shturman and his guards to sometimes to find blue keycards as well as his key and take his awesome weapons with no risk to your own gear. It has been almost a year since he posted this vid so maybe a lot has changed, but I believe it is the best map to be a true rat scav.

[@zyos11]

After playing this map for a while(was doing Skier USB quest) I realized that it is great for Scav hunting and a really chill map. Player pop is super low and I the loot in the middle of the map is not that much but I got a ton of expensive attachments from the crates so it is weird... not that much loot at all but high quality loot in the middle. But I still hate this map since the reference points kinda suck to be honest when compared to other maps.

[@anxietydisorders5917]

Player pop super low that why i die after 1min at start if ride lol

[@heymateymate5976]

@Pestily I found a purple keycard yesterday on woods, it spawned in the back of the SUV from 10:52.

[@baptm727]

Woods is my favorite map yet, discovered it via the scav quest and had so much fun pvp since.

[@v4ll3_tv80]

Awesome m8! Keep up the great work! I'f learned a lot because of your Videos!

[@Jaysson83]

Pestly your awesome explaining maps👍

[@dontask3613]

I'm terrified to run this map. I did a few dry runs just with scavs and I always run out of ammo/meds before I get to the other side from scavs alone..

[@Aaron.Broomfield]

Awesome vid dude thanks so much !!

[@fesheface]

I've been thinking that woods might be a pretty decent map to do a loot run, considering not many people play this map and there's a huge gap between hot zones/landmarks compared to other maps

[@50thvelocitygaming25]

Loots bad here, best is interchange or reserve. Or even customs loot caches

[@zehirlimantar33]

ty so much man its realy good toturial

[@MongooseTacticool]

Thanks, I've been playing for a year, and I only found that "not zb-014" bunker 2 weeks a go!

[@br0leg274]

Hey Pestily, could ask bsg if they limit the access to the mosins... It's nearly to only gun I hear in this game all day long, it's kind a boring right now... Killed a 3men team a few minutes ago... All Mosin, Scav vest, paca, scav BP... All was above lvl 45... They should do something on the meta game

[@zhen1763]

That just stray away how tarkov supposed to be. Why adding stupid restrictions? This is not arcade cod.

[@br0leg274]

Why adding tons of gear if no is willing to risk it to 1shot lvl 1 weapon with lvl 1 ammo... I play it since 2017 and no patch was so dead like this right now. The stupid restrictions just keep it away that everyone is an 1 shot sniper.

[@averagedamage1460]

@@br0leg274 Me and my mate had this conversation about mosins being op. The mosin is still a sniper and a powerful one but tweaks can be made to stop people using it willy nilly with no fear of loss. Make the sniper variant cost a heap more like 20k more, and only available at prapor level 2 or 3. Change the invantry version so it has damage drop rapidly to minimise the amount of 1 shots to level 3 helmets and make it not go through level 4 helmets. The mosin was a strong snipe in ww2 and i feel nerfing it to not one shot is a bad idea since it was meant to be a cheap option. Make it expensive so people will actually lose money when they die with it. Make the infantry version have some extreme bullet drop and loss in velocity over more than (example) 50 or 100 metres. Should stop people from spamming it like wild animals. Ive gone mosin raids in labs many times as its fun as hell however you can be beaten easily by hipfire if the player is skilled at knowing where their bullets are going. People who usually die to a mosin are those who arent quite good at the game to be a weapon with -2 ergonomics and end up dying to the mosin which takes a second to aim in. ive been mowed down by dudes with m4s since they just hipfire. its just how good you are at the game.

[@br0leg274]

@@averagedamage1460" it's just how good you are in the game" no its not. Pestily, Anton and worrun are super strong in this game and even they get a victim to mosins. The gun fights are not the problem for me, it's the hidden shoots out of nowhere that piss me off in the big open maps like shoreline woods and now even costums with new part. They try to slow down the game, with med animation, reload the magazines, broken leg anti sprint. But on the other hand they give an cheap sniper rifle to everyone. And since the half map Doestnt render at range ,the most effective way is a fast approaching.

[@sentientstreaming5554]

Great vid, just wish you would have pointed out shturman spawn and his loot chest

[@MetalAsFork]

It's a year old, this is probably before that.

[@lasail6312]

So my objective is to loot and not get killed and wait till the end? Like hide in bush if I found good stuff?

[@Burritos3000]

la sail Go to an extract point and extract with what you go. Kill people and take their stuffs

[@radnorio3180]

la sail hiding is tough because there’s less of a guarantee of extraction

[@johnhighway9397]

So how the hell do I play this map for prapor's garbage kill scavs quest, without getting constantly shot at by players behind me?

[@supreme_nova]

Yeah it is disgusting. Full of people with thermal scopes sniping people from who knows where

[@GISLE5959]

The south V-exit or whatever is so fucking bugged it's insane. For the 3rd our fourth time I die because the fucking car leaves me, even though I stand RIGHT NEXT to it. The last time i died it wouldnt fucking leave, even tho the timer ran out and 10+ seconds went without the car leaving, and I die. Anyone else having this issue?

[@2694jordan]

[@shawnromwell9613]

Can you still get on top of that sniper mountain or was that patched out? I might have missed you talking about it.

you need to have high level strength or be boosted up there afaik, haven't seen someone up there this patch so maybe? (unless its been patched out)

ofc it is, bosses spawn with better armor and weapons. If you are a good sniper this could make no difference, but his minions are tough to crack.

Do you guys feel like the Tarkov playerbase is dying? Feels like most raids I enter now have maybe 1 - 3 players max. Sucks because its such a great premise I just feel like it has really lost momentum and peaked ~6 months ago

[@alexanderneumann6587]

I experience that it depends on when during they day i play. Morning or late evening, almost none. Midday usually more.

That depends on time of day and your region, but EFT still peaks at about 5000 players during weekends.

[@dark.projektgaming6924]

No not at all

[@propsychoman]

If the player base is lower now, it’s most likely because people have gotten as far as they want or aren’t playing again until after the wipe, but generally right after a wipe the servers are full

@@zwykhg364 im sure he will make a video dedicated to the new scav boss when it arrives. Idk how much the meta will change though, as im pretty sure the boss is going to be in the lumber yard.. or marked circle... and everyone goes there anyway.

[@zwykhg364]

@@magicalfungi3206 Yeah i can't wait either. I mean yes he will make a video, but seeing as .12 is coming soon (and i think thats when we got the boss, i might be wrong), it's so close to the release of the boss that just waiting a bit he could put it all into one package so instead of people having to search boss specific details after watching this one when it could be part of the same video. I mean, it doesn't REALLY matter, just the timing is a bit iffy (again, assuming .12 is when we get the boss).
