Place of Interests Types

The map categorizes Place of Interests into eight distinct marker types, each serving a specific navigational or tactical purpose in Tarkov’s raid system.

Extraction Point

Extraction points are your ticket out of raid maps with your loot intact. These locations vary by map and player type (PMC vs Scav), with some requiring specific conditions like paying fees, having certain items, or meeting cooperation requirements with other players.

Transit

Transit locations connect different areas within Tarkov’s interconnected world. These points allow movement between major map sections and often require specific items or keys to access, making them valuable for players who understand the broader map network.

Sealed Door

Sealed doors block access to valuable areas and require specific keys, keycards, or tools to open. These barriers often protect high-value loot areas, quest locations, or alternative routes that can provide tactical advantages during raids.

Spawn Point

Spawn points determine where PMCs and Scavs enter raid maps. Understanding spawn locations helps predict enemy movement patterns, plan early-raid positioning, and avoid high-traffic areas during the crucial opening minutes of each raid.

Location

Location markers identify significant landmarks, buildings, or areas within each map. These reference points help with callouts, navigation, and understanding the general layout of complex raid environments.

Transition Point

Transition points mark boundaries between different map sections or areas with distinct characteristics. These markers help players understand when they’re moving between zones with different spawn rates, loot density, or tactical considerations.

BTR Patrol

BTR patrol markers show routes used by armored personnel carriers on certain maps. These heavily armed vehicles follow predictable paths and can either provide transportation services or pose significant threats depending on your faction standing.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous markers cover unique features that don’t fit other categories but remain important for navigation or tactical planning. These might include special environmental hazards, unique quest locations, or other notable features specific to individual maps.

How to Use the Map Efficiently

Effective use of Place of Interests requires understanding the relationship between different marker types and how they create viable raid routes.

• Study spawn points near your planned extraction routes to avoid predictable player conflicts
• Identify multiple extraction options before raids to maintain flexibility under pressure
• Note sealed door locations that might require specific keys for your current objectives
• Track BTR patrol routes to plan safe crossing points or potential transportation
• Use location markers as navigation anchors when giving callouts to teammates
