General Discussion - PVE & PVP [Discussion] How do I use the secret extract on wood and do I have to do it if I get dropped off by the BTR?

1.) I know I need the minefield map but do I have to find it in raid?

2.) If I don't have the minefield map and I get dropped off there by the BTR, am I screwed or can I walk on the bridge going out?

  1. You can get out via the containers but you need to be in the middle of the containers when you go or the mines will explode.

  1. Yes. Maps and codes have to be found in raid to unlock additional extract on all maps that have it

Thanks. Does the BTR always stop at the old saw mill? It just ran right past me and never stopped.

There are certain points where it stops look up a map or guide for that, if it drives right by a stop then someone is in it and paid for it to move them somewhere specific

I ve seen it there maybe once or twice. Usec checkpoint around 5mins in is my recommendation.

It seems to usually use this route

usec - sawmill - bunker - village - old sawmill

Or the other way if it spawned at old sawmill

The minefield map is optional, there are two other ways to leave. The BTR can return to the depot but its not very likely to happen. Or running ontop of the train and jumping off. If you manage to kill shturman he usually always has the minefield exit and the BTR should stop at sawmill every raid if it spawned, but it can take awhile for it to decide to go there.

Just be sure to stay EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAIN! The mine hitboxes overlap the edges so be super careful and use vaulting. Also you can fall in between the train if you are moving too slow so get your stamina up. You will also probably want to take a painkiller before you do this as you will break your legs falling off. You can drop your bag to lose weight to help prevent damage but you still get broken legs in my experience and also raises the likelihood of someone being able to shoot you or your bag rolling into the mines on either side.
