Escape from Tarkov Factory Map: Extraction Points, Best Loot Spots, Boss Guide

Escape from Tarkov’s Factory has a special place in every player’s heart, bringing us back to where it all started for most of us. Factory offers a small, gloomy, yet a diverse PVE experience within a space that feels comparable in size to a Call of Duty map. Don’t let its size fool you though, Factory offers wealth, intense PVP, iconic quests, and great loot that every player can access.

Most players, of course, overlook Factory as a map and continue onto what they perceive as better spaces, like Streets of Tarkov or another fan favourite, Customs. But Factory is the best place to transcend from rags to riches due to the turnaround time of raids, you can complete a task, kill four players, and a scav boss, obtain epic loot and extract in a matter of three minutes. 

Within this guide, we’re going to show you how to really play Factory. Teaching you the best loot locations, keys, killing the scav boss, appropriate weapons and how to operate around the map in general. Often this map can be unforgiving, allowing players with the Altyn bullet proof helmet, flashlight and MP9 to demolish the entire server, but no more! 

The Best Loot Locations On Factory Map

Factory is great for its locations, having players get from point A to B within a series of seconds, amplifying the combat, intensity, and finally, the reward. Now, the best loot locations in Factory are going to receive a lot of traffic, but if you get there fast you can throw everything in your container and then hold the fort and reign death upon the server.

The following locations obtain the best loot:

• Top floor of offices – contains safe, two coats, two filing cabinets – BTC/GP/GPU/Vase/Lion/SVDs, RSASS, AS VAL Spawns
• Locker room (second-floor office) – Items spawn within lockers – West 306 Key/pumping station key/car battery/helmet spawn
• Expansion area medical tent/underground – rare medical spawns, weapon crate, fuel conditioner, grenade crate

The loot within these areas will vary depending on the raid, as you’re aware, spawn chances are different and each raid will supply you with different loot items. But each raid will most definitely supply you with over 200k roubles if you loot each location thoroughly, even if the game presents you with awful loot. On the contrary, you can make quite the turnaround on Factory if lucky, receiving Bitcoins, high-value weapons and other priceless miscellaneous items.

Players who are experienced in the art of Tarkov are already fully aware of these spawn locations and will strike you down with an act of great vengeance and bountiful fury, therefore you’re going to have to be quick on your feet and fast on the trigger. Despite the negative connotation, players rushing you is beneficial because they are just after the loot, they are often easy to gun down and catch off-guard.
