Let’s get into it – here’s our Tarkov Streets map guide.

How to Learn The Tarkov Streets Map

If there’s one thing we can advise to new Escape from Tarkov players, it’s that doing something is the best way to learn. It doesn’t matter if you run ‘offline’ raids, Scav runs, or simply run around the Streets of Tarkov map as a thinly-kitted PMC, you’ll learn best by exploring the map with your boots on the ground. It’s a daunting map with dozens of points of interest, exfil sites, and loot spots, and it’s fraught with danger at every turn.

There are resources that you can make use of to better learn the map, though. Here are some of the best Streets of Tarkov maps and resources that we’ve found online:

• Here’s the best Streets of Tarkov map you’ll find anywhere: Streets of Tarkov map by RE3MR
• Here’s an interactive map of Streets of Tarkov, along with patrol routes for the BTR and other information: Tarkov Wiki (Streets of Tarkov)

Everything To Know About Streets of Tarkov

• Streets of Tarkov has raids that last 50 minutes and it accommodates between 12 – 16 players
• It features two challenging bosses: Kaban and Kallontay
• It features a roaming ‘BTR’ APC that offers a range of services, like a mobile stash, armoured taxi, or cover fire

Streets of Tarkov also boasts some of the best verticality in the game, with basements and multi-storey buildings being open and explorable. It has more interiors than any other map and features everything from nightclubs to restaurants and from shopping malls to hotels.

Streets of Tarkov Tasks

There are 36 tasks to be completed in Streets of Tarkov, ranging from simply finding one item to planting devices in tricky locations. Fortunately, Escape from Tarkov’s gameplay loop will see you dip in and out of Streets of Tarkov as you progress – you won’t get those tasks handed to you all at once. Also, several tasks require you to extract from a certain location, which will help you get the hang of the Streets of Tarkov exfil sites.

Most of the tasks on Streets of Tarkov aren’t too tough, and you can find specific guides for them on the Tarkov Wiki (see above). What’s difficult is navigating this sizeable map and avoiding all the bosses and pitfalls littered around.

How to Stay Safe on Tarkov Streets Map

If you’re going to learn how to play Tarkov, you’ll want to make sure you’re keeping your eyes and ears open at all times. In a game where a single shot can mean the end of your raid, it’s important to be aware no matter what map you’re playing on. Here are some things to watch out for when you’re exploring the Streets of Tarkov map:

• Kallontay (the newest boss) spawns in the Klimov Shopping Mall or the Ministry of the Interior Academy – he boasts 1050 HP, can have four tough guards, and has an 8% spawn chance
• Kaban spawns in the LexOs car dealership, which is surrounded by anti-personnel mines, and he has a whopping 1300 HP. He also has four guards, and two or three sniper guards, and has an 8% spawn chance.
• There are Snipers dotted around the map – at the Cinema, the Theatre, the Shopping Mall, the Terragroup Building, and the LexOs Car Dealership.
• Around LexOs, there is a dense minefield, here’s a map to avoid them

Bear in mind that AI Scavs (and player-controlled Scavs) can appear almost anywhere at any time – so keep your finger on the trigger.
