How do extraction points work?
Before the beginning of a raid, acquire a map of a particular location - you will find it at the Therapist merchant. This allows you to see the extraction points on the map before the start of the game. In addition, you will be able to get some information about each exit point at any time during the game.
When you are already participating in a raid, hold down the "O" button - you will see a list of all extraction points available in the raid, as well as the time remaining to the end of the raid (as in the picture above). At each extraction point you will see a blank field or question marks. An empty field means that you don't have to do anything extra to use this extraction point - just find it. In turn, question marks mean that escaping from a given point requires certain conditions. You may need to acquire a special item on the map or have a specific amount of cash.

You can find all extraction points in our guide to Escape from Tarkov. In the "Maps" section we have included special location maps, where you will find marked extraction points and all the most important information needed to escape from a raid.
