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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
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
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
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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?
Holy shit how can a man remember all those loot spots. Thank you for this 8) but do you have idea about the new boss there? Is bosses harder to kill than scavs?
So that’s a rock and the Other rock to the rock is another rock.The rock to the right use it as a reference point and the Dick Head rock is a sniper point.Explainasion +100 rock
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
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
@@magicalfungi3206 Well not negate, but important info will be left out. It might also switch up the map meta a bit as people will try to go for the boss. Who knows, maybe the loot gets changed a bit? Never said the video will be useless after the update, but it will be outdated.
@@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. I'm more interested to see the cultists added than a new boss really.... In any case, new content is new content and i cant wait for it to get here. lol.
@@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).
lol what a waste of time creating this map if there is almost no loot there, some people will like it for sure but why wouldnt you put more loot for people who dont enjoy camping
@@ossihurme7572 I feel like I'm learning how to swim and everyone is laughing at me via gunshots because I can't let go of the edge or I'll drown (get lost)
Circles on a zoomed map give no indication of current location in aspect to other locations on the map. Viewers need to know direction of travel.... Sry, nice try but thumbs down x5....

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

Pestily m8, could you please don a flashlight tactical on your pistols for when you are jmin dark areas? Awwsome work thanks
There is also a Loot Box left at the Pick Up truck @ 2:35

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

@Pestily I found a purple keycard yesterday on woods, it spawned in the back of the SUV from 10:52.
Very solid content
helped me alot in EFT :-)
Keep on your good work
Woods is my favorite map yet, discovered it via the scav quest and had so much fun pvp since.
I always learn something new from you brother.
Awesome m8! Keep up the great work! I'f learned a lot because of your Videos!
Pestly your awesome explaining maps👍
Awesome vid dude thanks so much !!
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..

Loots bad here, best is interchange or reserve. Or even customs loot caches
Thanks, I've been playing for a year, and I only found that "not zb-014" bunker 2 weeks a go!
ty so much man its realy good toturial

Great vid, just wish you would have pointed out shturman spawn and his loot chest
It's a year old, this is probably before that.
learned something thanks
Thank you!
So my objective is to loot and not get killed and wait till the end? Like hide in bush if I found good stuff?
la sail Go to an extract point and extract with what you go. Kill people and take their stuffs
la sail hiding is tough because there’s less of a guarantee of extraction
do you think you can do a labs map guide? or have you already done it
I forgot I haven't done this. I'll get it done this week!
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?
Yeah it is disgusting. Full of people with thermal scopes sniping people from who knows where
dude, this game is amazing. I'm starting out right now, i would love to stream the game too. What do you think is a good ideia to do that ?
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)
It looks like it is patched out.
Yesterday I saw to lvl 50 guys trying to get to the spot and died trying

This helped a lot because I’m just starting out and in my first episode I died every time because I couldn’t escape
If you edit this video with unzoomed map picture with marks will be great for begginers i believe.

why i cant extract nowhere wtf pls help?
