Construction: A common through area that is also home to two deadly sniper Scavs on that map and several Scav spawns in general.It’s proximity to two hidden stashes/caches makes it an attractive option to loot on your way but should be carefully cleared of Scavs first with as many as 5 spawning here while also being generally low on PMC as traffic as they tend to take the Northern routes.

RUAF Roadblock: Serving as a sometimes open extract this high point of the map can be deadly to those crossing the river below.If you do find yourself spawning here as a PMC your best bet is to move across to RUAF roadblock quickly. As a beginner you’ll want to avoid this area entirely (unless trying to complete the quests located there) as the multiple entry points and low concentration of loot means there is little purpose to fighting here. Big Red: A hot spot for combat during the early to mid stages of Tarkov progress and in the first 5 minutes of a raid in particular due to the focus on quests and spawn points in this area.In terms of loot Customs is squarely in the middle offering neither the best or worst loot of the Escape From Tarkov map pool meaning there is enough to offset your deaths in the long run but won’t be making you rich in Roubles. The map layout is also one of the easier ones to learn due to its basic design and size compared to other game maps (except for Factory). While one of the more dangerous maps for combat given the large number of early quests that are based here beginners will not want to entirely ignore Customs given how vital quests are to your PMC character level and thus unlocking flea market and trader access alongside a sense of accomplishment.Īccordingly you’ll want to sprinkle in some Customs raids in between my second and first suggestions to slowly build map familiarity and make progress towards your core quests. Ranked number three on my recommendation for Tarkov beginner maps is Customs, an industrial themed map with difficult choke points for new players.
