Escape from Tarkov has conquered the gaming community. With the extreme survival shooter growing in popularity day by day. Throughout the game, you'll be tasked with making your way through various dangerous locations filled with other players and AI bots (or Scavs). As you complete missions, you find Escape fro mTarkov loot and shoot down anyone who gets in your way.

Most maps require some experience and are not suitable if you are starting. So, in the next section, we present some of the best Escape from Tarkov maps for beginners.

The best Escape from Tarkov maps for beginners

#3 – Coast

Let's start with the best conflict avoidance map, Shoreline. The Shoreline is so extensive that you can get away with just shooting long range and looting around the edges of the map. As a massive map with only a few villages and buildings, there is tons of open space for you to learn the ins and outs of the game. At the same time, some areas of the map can lead to some pretty bloody battles.

You will be able to find some decent loot in some of the more remote areas. However, some of the best places to loot and focus on learning the game if you are a beginner are;

Power Plant (south of the resort) Resort (middle of the map) Scav Island (south of the gas station) Town (on the west side of the map) Weather Station (east of the power plant)

Most players will gravitate towards the resort when they first spawn. This is because it contains some of the best loot and battles. However, the power plant is an excellent place to find easy loot. While Scav Island is home to some loot boxes, it is mainly used to practice your Scav fights. The weather station is a solid destination because it will give you a good map layout. And the town can offer plenty of covers as you go about your looting. Still, it's a good starting point for beginners.

#2 – Exchange

This single is often a bit hit and miss, with some players claiming it's too tricky for beginners while others argue that the sheer amount of loot you can acquire is well worth it. However, it is still widely regarded as one of the best Escape from Tarkov maps for beginners due to its simple spawn-to-draw cycle and how accessible loot is.

As noted above, where it spawns versus where it is extracted from is incredibly straightforward. The map perimeter consists of some parking lots and the power plant. Although the most important location on the map (and the one that takes up the most space) is the Ultra Mall. It is divided into five parts;

Oli (hardware store), Idea (furniture store), Goshen (grocery store), The Shopping Mall (two floors made up of various stores), The Parking Garage (underground lot)

Once you've gotten used to the map and its components, you can start raiding the Ultra Mall for its valuable loot. You can always try to find loot in the surrounding areas (like the power station), but most of the valuable loot is in the mall. As a beginner, you should start at Oli and Idea before moving on to the mall, where all the most skilled players will immediately go.

#1 – Customs

Sliding into our number one spot as the best Escape from Tarkov map for beginners is Customs. The map is straightforward to navigate, with a basic rectangular layout and a linear path to victory. Since you will spawn on the east or west side of the map, your extraction point will be on the opposite end. But some alternative extracts will also appear throughout the day, which will make things even easier for you.

Another reason this is the best beginner map because there are so many different ways to play it. You can play it safe and stick to the outer edges of the map, moving inside only so often to grab the loot. Or jump into the hub and engage in some epic battles. That said, some of the best places to find loot on the map are;

Customs office (on the west side of the map) Dormitories (in the center of the map) Old gas station (on the southeast side

of the map) Substation (on the east side of the map)

If you start on the east side of the map, I'd suggest heading straight for the substation. Here you will find some weapon boxes and duffel bags. It will also give you a solid view of the old gas station and the bedrooms. Therefore, you can make your next move accordingly. If you start on the west side of the map, you need to go to the customs office, which will be in a giant red warehouse just before you cross the bridge. Here you will find a safe, some computers and some jackets.

Bedrooms are where all the skilled players will go due to the quality loot you can find. However, I would wait until you are familiar with the game before taking this direction.
