Extraction Points

How Extraction Works

1. Locate an extraction point on the map
2. Activate it (takes 3 seconds, can be interrupted)
3. Defend your position for 15–30 seconds until the chopper arrives
4. Board the chopper to extract with your loot

Extraction Point Types

Type	Wait Time	Risk	Notes
Standard	20 seconds	Medium	Most common, well-known locations
Fast	10 seconds	High	Rare, often contested
Covert	15 seconds	Low	Hidden, harder to find
Emergency	5 seconds	Very High	Only appears in final 2 minutes

Extraction Tips

1. Never activate extraction at full health with no ammo — you’re a sitting duck
2. Check surroundings before activating — hunters camp extraction points
3. Use the 3-second activation time to scan — you can cancel and reposition
4. Covert extraction points are worth finding — less traffic, safer extraction
5. Emergency extraction is a last resort — everyone converges on it

Veteran Tier Loot Route

• Expected loot: 4–8 Rare items
• Time: 8–12 minutes
• Risk: Moderate

Elite+ Tier Loot Route

1. Spawn → High-value zone (boss loot)
2. High-value zone → Secondary loot area

PvP Hot Zones

Where Hunters Fight

High-traffic areas where PvP is most likely:

1. Boss spawn locations — Hunters converge for boss loot
2. Extraction points — Ambush capital of every map
3. High-value loot buildings — Multiple hunters target the same containers
4. Chokepoints — Narrow paths between zones

Avoiding PvP

If you want to extract safely without fighting other hunters:

• Use Covert extraction points — Less traffic
• Loot low-traffic areas — Skip the obvious high-value buildings
• Extract early — Don’t wait for maximum loot
• Move during combat — When you hear fighting, go the other way
• Listen for gunshots — Audio cues reveal hunter positions

Engaging PvP

If you’re confident in your build and want to fight:

• Camp extraction points — Hunters carrying loot are vulnerable
• Third-party fights — Engage after two squads have weakened each other
• Use elevation — High ground gives ranged advantage
• Track footprints — Blackarrow’s Tracker talent reveals enemy paths

Map-Specific Strategies

General Tips for All Maps

1. Learn spawn points — Know where you and other hunters deploy
2. Memorize extraction locations — You’ll need to find them under pressure
3. Identify chokepoints — Avoid or ambush depending on your playstyle
4. Know loot density — Some areas have more containers than others
5. Learn enemy patrol routes — Avoid unnecessary PvE fights

Early Raid Strategy (0–5 minutes)

• Move quickly to your first loot area
• Avoid other hunters — they’re also heading to loot
• Don’t fight unless cornered
• Fill your Safe Bag with the first good items you find

Mid Raid Strategy (5–15 minutes)

• Focus on high-value targets
• Watch for other hunters who may be loaded with loot
• Keep track of extraction point locations
• Maintain ammo and health supplies

Late Raid Strategy (15+ minutes)

• Extract immediately if you have good loot
• Emergency extraction points become available
• Other hunters are more desperate and aggressive
• Don’t push for more loot — extract with what you have
