Woods Map Spawn and Extraction Points

There are many spawn points along the perimeter of the Escape from Tarkov Woods Map. But beware that if you were to spawn in along the north to north-east side of the Woods, then you are at risk of being targeting or taken out by the Snipers who sit along the River. However, the west and south-west perimeter is no safer, with the surrounding landscape being covered in a Mine Field that can devastate a player with one wrong step. Keep in mind that both sides of the Woods will have areas which combine both Mine Fields with Sniper Dens, so when you are in exploring the Woods it is best to avoid the edges until you need to safely exfil from the Map.
