Escape From Tarkov is a very brutal game both for beginners and veterans alike. No matter how good you are at it, one simple mistake will get you killed and lose you all of the loot you had. That is why knowing the best map to Start and train on is crucial. In this guide, we will show you the Best Map to Start On in Escape From Tarkov and explain why. Let’s get started.

Escape From Tarkov – Which Is The Best Map To Start On?

The BEST map that you can start on in Escape From Tarkov is Woods.

It is as simple as that. Many players will agree with this fact because Woods is basically the best map you can go for even if you are a beginner or a veteran because of the low killtodeath ratio and the very high loot and rewards you are able to gain.

Here are a couple of other factors that make Wood the best starting map:

  • Map Layout – it is the best and friendliest map layout for new players as it doesn’t force you to get into combat as in other maps. If you wanted to ignore a combat situation, you are free to do so and head to loot something else. Also, it is open and has a lot of looting places.
  • Tasks – there are numerous tasks that you can do right off the bat. These tasks are also very simple to handle and will give you a big choice of how you actually do them since the map is wide open
  • Money – as the economy changes in the game and some prices vary and go up and down, the loot tables that spawn on Woods seem to stay very consistent through every patch and update so far. No matter the Wipe, you will be able to make very good money whenever you get here

That’s all that you need to know about the Best starting Map on Escape From Tarkov. We hope that this guide has helped you out a bit and made you a better overall player of it. Happy looting and try not to get sniped from the woods!
