Woods is one of the oldest maps in Escape from Tarkov, and also one of the biggest. No matter where you spawn as a Scav or PMC, you’ll spend at least a few minutes heading to one of the many hot zones on the map. Whether you start in the south and need to go to the sawmill or the army camp or in the north and Scav Town is on your radar, you will have to travel a long distance to the mine. We’ve listed all sixteen Woods snippets here, along with what you need to do to use them.

Like all Tarkov cards, Woods extracts come in three varieties: Scav, PMC, and Scav and PMC. There are a lot more Scav snippets than PMC, and as a Scav you’ll have four or five options, and as a PMC you’ll have four. Which one you should use will depend on where you enter the map and will always take you through high risk areas.
Extracts from Scav in the woods

There are eight exclusive Scav clips in Woods: five in the south and three in the north.
- House Scav. At the southwest end is a ruined house. The extraction is inside.
- The place of the dead. Next to the rocks on the southwest side of the large lake are a Dead Scav and a Duffel Bag. Extraction occurs near both.
- The boat. Just north of Dead Man’s Place is a dock with an abandoned boat. Stand near the wrecked ship to extract it.
- Old train station. At the southeast end of the woods is a destroyed building. Go inside to extract
- Eastern rocks. Follow the wall north of the old train station until you come to where that wall meets a rocky outcrop. Extraction is there.
- Mountain hideout. At the southern end of the mountains, in the middle of the woods, is a small cave. You will know this by the rope hanging from the side of the cave. Stand near the crates to be extracted.
- Scav bridge. Far to the north, west of the abandoned village, there is a bridge leading out of the woods. Stand in the northeast corner next to the mining shed.
- Bunker Scav. To the southwest of the Scav Bridge, under a large communications tower, is a small facility. Look for an underground staircase. The extraction is inside.
Extracts from PMC in Maderas.
There are only three PMC-exclusive extracts in Woods, and both are on the eastern side of the map.
- Blockade of the northern UN road. Just south of Old Sawmill, to the northeast, is a hastily constructed barricade. Make yourself comfortable against the wall to shoot.
- V-Ex bridge. North of Scav Town, there is a bridge where a black SUV will be waiting. Paying 5000 rubles to the driver allows a one-time extraction, as long as you are in the area when the vehicle departs. If the SUV is not there, this extract cannot be used.
- ZB-016. A little southwest of the UN barricade, hidden in the grass, is another small bunker. If there are green flares around the ladder going down, you can mine some.
Extracts shared in wood
The final set of extracts in Woods can be used by Scavs or PMCs.
- Suburbs. At the southwest end of the woods is an old blue pickup truck and some boxes. Stand close to them to extract.
- ZB-014. Northwest of Scav House and Outskirts, in another bunker, is Extract ZB-014. It is only available if you can see green flares and you will also need the ZB-014 key to open the door.
- RUAF obstacle. To the southwest of the military camp, near the shore of the lake, there is another barricade. If there are green rockets, it’s usable.
- Factory door. Directly east of the RUAF roadblock, on the south side of the southernmost road, is a large red gate. Stand near the door to extract.
- UN obstacle. In the southeasternmost corner of the woods, there are a pair of doors. Going through the first one will put you near a white van and some debris. Stand close to them to extract.
