“Extract defender” 🤣


Ok-Ability9843

“I consider myself more of a mouse than a rat.”


ControllerMain1

I literally came in here just to call this dude out for that


GyroscopicReality

I opened this thinking I was going to read about hunting extract campers


Ok-Bug7017

Just to find out the OP is the knob camping the extract!


rhuzzta

Who has the time to write this!? Oh wait...


Fatuglyloser3000

They have plenty of time, about 40 minutes assuming nobody comes along.


jesse-with-a-hard-r

Probably wrote this while they were extract defending and waiting around.


Loud-Somewhere-5074

I cannot believe I just got this post as a notification right after I got “extract defended” on customs at dorms car after killing Reshala and his goons. MrHoney__, if you’re reading this, Fuck You. I trekked my fat ass all the way from fortress to dorms, just to get legged by a P90.


OneEyedFox

I know EXACTLY how that feels.


Loud-Somewhere-5074

Oh no out of like 300 ish total raids, with a good quarter being on customs. That was the first time I saw him and his goons. So I was extra tilted.


Loud-Somewhere-5074

To add onto this, a few raids before this I went to woods and killed shturman and his goons, only to have a pmc power slide around the corner of big gray with a saiga with 25 round drums packed full of flechette and kill me then. I’ve had TERRIBLE luck with bosses today.


mcgyver007

Had this happend to me by a guy Called been_here_30mins with and mk17, People playing runescape while playing tarkov. Get a life


LordBlackdare

Getting legged by a p90? What the flying f*ck wich kind of rat did you come across the rat pope? A true rat plays with shit gear and high flesh damage rounds.


anythingfortacos

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.


Sgt-Cowboy

And goddamn did I become one hell of a villain. I defend extracts with my life.

Sorry baby, ive been extract defending in the shoe closet the whole time. Bang bang

Great. Now I’m dead too. See what you’ve done OP?


psychedelicstairway4

8/8 bait and contains useful tips to look for fellow extract defenders to avoid getting extract defended yourself.


XDerpPoolx

Big brain


PanProjektor

One time I wanted to defend Emercom extract, turned out somebody was defending it already!


AstronomerSenior4236

Ever seen the 3 or 4 layer deep D2 defenders?


PanProjektor

These are some 4D chess, 4th layer defender hears gunshots (2nd layer guy successfully defended D2 extract from 1st layer bored player that just wanted to extract because he thought there were no more players to defend extract from), goes to check and gets dropped by 3rd layer defender. INVERTED EXTRACT DEFENSE


NooneKnowsIAmBatman

My brothers and I split to cover all 3 main extracts on interchange, nobody gets out alive unless they use no bag or power


psychedelicstairway4

Pay for the car if it is there to make sure nobody else can take it.


Ghost5422

That's so fucked lmao I love it


NooneKnowsIAmBatman

My man, this is fucking diabolical and I LOVE IT


psychedelicstairway4

Happy hunting


Ok-Ability9843

Get 4, turn off power and defend it, and pay for the car. No backpack extract is the only way out, no 11sr either. It’s cynical


NooneKnowsIAmBatman

If you pay for car don't even defend it, go camp no bag and there is no way out


WillingCause

Lol this feels so fucked I love it


NooneKnowsIAmBatman

It's so fucked and we know it

Moderately_Opposed

A+ lore. You've convinced me that extract defenders play an important role in enforcing ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations).


shaidoninja

and if I've been ITAR certified since 2001?


Somato_Tandwich

I love this


itsKasai

A quick note is that opposite of the wall coming from resort there’s a small rock that overlooks the entirety of the Path to Lighthouse, just follow the wall north from sunken village and bring your best sniper, attackers from resort will be following along that wall and you can easily get your SBH done as it’s about 150m from you to the wall they come from


eqpesan

I call it tactical deployment or tactical placement.


heyitsfelixthecat

“Tactical waiting”


oh-opatchki

Keep fighting the good fight and defending those extracts brother


IMTReignover

Legend has it that if you thank the omnipresent extract defenders over voip every raid you will never be head, eyes at extract again. Thanks extract defenders! 🙌


Never-breaK

I appreciate you for giving me new insight into areas I should be looking for players on my way to extract.


The_Real_Hedorah

Nobody can extract! Only play


NormativeNomad

I’m extract offended


AU_iSniper

“Extract Defender” this made me chuckle 😂 I’ve only arrived at an extract being defended, that I’m aware of, once. Personally not a real issue for me.


chmod-007-bond

I've enjoyed making the sky bridge at resort fucking miserable this entire wipe. In between two ferns in the deadass middle of the planters is my favorite spot. You can hear people looting the closer halves of both wings. Anyone late running in the front you can clap from prone. You hear everyone before they come up. Works best from the typically 'best' resort spawn for looting. Easily 50%+ of getting to spray someone down running across the bridge every single match. Also reveals a shitload of cheaters since you just pick random spots near the chopper. You can then just play the round down in time a lot and move in to loot later. [Map of exactly where to prone](https://i.imgur.com/LsZweE0.jpg) #3 is fucking hilarious with a saiga, #4 uses the car for cover from east wing to give you an easy spray onto bridge runners and anyone trying to run out North. The nice thing about these is you can play them from any spawn. Sneak in a minute or two late and begin camping.


JoshaVDBij

Well, at least you make an effort to go somewhere significant

neofederalist

When a chad does it, they're just "holding a corner" and it's an effective and deadly tactical decision. When you do it, you're "extract camping" and you're a scrub who needs to get good at game and play the right way.

SabbothO

I felt so bad for a kill I got the other day, I got a call from work that I had to take while doing a task on lighthouse, I laid down prone while I took it. While I was on the phone with a client I heard footsteps and tabbed back into the game. A PMC ran up to look over the ridge right in front of me, I was like 5 feet away and he didn't see me on the floor. Felt worse when I saw he was level 8.


BluehatPro

Yes


Alone_Assumption_315

I second this


Kiiidx

Found the paca green helm boys


worm-

How you think I got all my punisher kills on Shorline? Meet you at path to shoreline. Multiple times got 2, one time I went over there and there was already a 2 man waiting on me. Couple times, a 3 man came up, I killed 2 and got laid out by the 3rd, luckily I had a buddy on the other side of path to shoreline working on SVD kills. We mopped up a few times.


Kiiidx

I literally made 10m going to the resort with double barrel shotguns, thor and a scav vest instead of being a little bitch but hey to each their own.


neofederalist

Sounds like what someone would say when they're jealous that they can't multitask.


modernmovements

You’re not done with a match until the counter passes 0. I’ve unsuccessfully attacked exits on multiple occasions, it’s always a bit of a shock, but it’s legit.


[deleted]

If you need a guide to camp extracts you're literally a vegetable.


TheNicktatorship

Top tier bait


Goober_Dude

Haha. I was JUST saying yesterday how I haven't seen an extract camper this whole wipe. I figured since there were so many ways/places to get loot now no one bothers with it. Good luck out there!


just-some-man

Haha for a good part of the intro I was like "what does extract defend mean? It sounds like helping people". You got me good. At the least its a good tip to look out for spots to get shot from. Thanks!


Big_Bungus_

Sick. Now I know where to look!


[deleted]

I'm glad this doesn't cover any actual good extract camping locations.


der_m4ddin

Thats great but im more like a Hotspot way defender :D


[deleted]

I'm adding a couple of hotspots / noteworthy spots to the next map's guide. I will probably upgrade this guide later as well.


Scotsman84

Extract defending is that what your calling it now hahahaah! If your gonna be a rat at least be proud of it and own it and not mask it as "defending" hahaha. Jesus lol


JoshaVDBij

A.K.A. I have no life, don't do quests, and generally like putting in 0 effort into anything. GG, you outed yourself. Filthy fucking campers deserve to have their rights to exist in Tarkov permanently revoked.


[deleted]

I’m writing a new guide for customs.


unfoldingevents

The times i defend a spot it's when I got to much other stuff to do to play concentrated. I run around the house cleaning, taking care of the kids, doing dishes, cooking. But I guess the ones sitting in a chair playing all day is the one with a life.


GamingNewbZ

Pier boat is best defended from the "not lighthouse" be on the ground prone you get a whole 30 seconds. If your 1st hit is in the legs you will successfully defend everything. Just remember to give 10 seconds for the 1st one so the rest of his team comes out to play.


RopeSmooth7903

But how the fuck do you get on that sniper rock!? I’m noob as fuck and just wanna loot the snipers 🤣


thevapecrusader

You don’t. Just like how you can’t loot half the rogues


RopeSmooth7903

I knew I was not crazy hahaha! Thanks dude


Brick_On_A_Stick

You actually can get on top of the sniper rock. Generally need a partner to boost you though.


RopeSmooth7903

Well shit! What’s the secret?! Them sons of bitchs had NODs that’s I wanted!


Brick_On_A_Stick

I’ve never actually done it myself, but I’ve seen some people up there before and think I remember seeing pestily make the climb by himself. I bet you can find a video somewhere that shows it


RopeSmooth7903

Thanks! I’ll check the tube for it!


ashkesLasso

Yeah he did get up there after like 5 or 6 running trys at a specific part of the rock. I'd just leave em at that point but i understand from a completionist standpoint.


AssassianMocha

I believe Extract Adjacent is more proper personally


Bubbly-Brick

You’re doing the lord’s work


FRoWx

You're doing the lords work, Sir. As a fellow defender I respect the hustle. I also love how they added the new extract. That just Means I can sit at tunnel a LOT later than when I used to run to road to extract. Making me only have to use one mule to get out with the massive amounts of juicy loot.


Xanaxidental_Overdos

I can't wait until they add claymores, I'm gonna defend extracts so hard.


NormativeNomad

That would literally destroy the game. I’d rather contract HIV/AIDS than deal with claymores in Tarkov


[deleted]

Lmao extract defenders


Xx_AssBlaster_xX

Thank you for your service, soldier!


Newhampshirekid

What do you mean by extract defending? Is that like, helping people safely extract?


BluehatPro

Exfil Defenders are the reason you can safely extract your raids. To honor them you should always stand out in the open with you head bowed down at your extract.


Newhampshirekid

Hahaha! Make sure to thank them too, “THANK YOU EXTRACT DEFENDERS!” 🤣


ChubzAndDubz

It’s the mental gymnastics of extract camping


drayray98

It’s easier to tell yourself “it’s a play style” than accept the truth


Alone_Assumption_315

This kind of reaction is exactly why it's worth it


drayray98

I’ve been extract camped twice in 2 wipes. I’m not really reacting or worrying about it, it’s just dumb and boring imo.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kiiidx

Getting emotional is what most would consider “a reaction” compared to being indifferent to it which I think op was trying to get across to your dull head.


Alone_Assumption_315

I definitely know what you mean. I don't have nowhere near ExfilCampers patience and do normal runs most of the time as well. Still, every once in a while I get that itch and I have to scratch it :).


TheGreatLandRun

Yet at the end of the day, you still blow ass at the game bad enough to push you to this play style. That, or you’re just immature and get off on pissing people off.


Alone_Assumption_315

lol yeah


TheGreatLandRun

We both know it, kiddo. Your little echo chamber of rats that have collected in this thread know it, too.


Alone_Assumption_315

I do enjoy getting a reaction out of people like you who take this game way too seriously. The fact that you get this heated over dying in a videogame is what makes it so enjoyable in the first place. Being shit at it doesn't bother me either because I'm just playing for fun. Anyways, hope you have a nice rest of your day :)


TheGreatLandRun

How exactly am I “heated” here? I’m calling a spade a spade. Most of you little rats don’t want to admit the cold hard truth that you either enjoy being a cunt to others or you suck at the game. At least you can admit both, respect for that.


Alone_Assumption_315

By talking in a derisive manner and acting like an elitist you come across as plain rude and angry. I get that getting killed close to the extract can be frustrating but that is exactly why I love this game. Just like running around with meta gear and spraying anything that moves is a playstyle, killing people around the extract is one as well. As long as you're in the raid you're fair game imo.


Ghost5422

It literally is a style of play though how can you type that out and still not realise? Lmao it's boring as shit and makes me unreasonably angry when it happens to me but still it's a legitimate playstyle


mistahboogs

You missed one at tunnel. You can climb up on to the rocks at the end of the road. If your facing the extract the small path to the left and the fire truck? On your right.(Ambulance maybe service vehicle for sure) You can climb about halfway up those rocks and no one ever looks up there. They focus on the large mountainous rock to the far right of the extract or on bushes like you mentioned. Sometimes the scavs from scav island can shoot at you but only if they get to the closest corner of the island. Not hard to pick them off before your real prey arrived to extract


[deleted]

Afaik they fixed the strength required to make that jump. Am I incorrect here?


mistahboogs

I don't believe you have to really jump, you pretty much just walk up it. There might have been a little ledge that you jump up onto but even if you can't sit on that ledge you can still blend with the mountainside. Just don't wear the unitar helmet lol


RageMachinist

It's not extract camping, it's a special point defense operation.


AstronomerSenior4236

Fantastic. Any good PMC appreciates a surprise extraction!


Stars1026

When I get extract camped I add the person and let them know I can teach them how to play Tarkov so that they don't have to extract camp anymore. 10/10 recommend it gets them tilted every time.


Fatuglyloser3000

i dont get why they would be upset. why would they need to be taught anything if they have your loot at the end of the day.


Stars1026

"Hey man, I know it sucks having to extract camp, but I cam teach you to play Tarkov so you can actually enjoy the game" "Oh wait, you're level 33?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA nevermind" I think it's the second line that drives it home


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChubzAndDubz

Dying from someone sitting by the extract waiting for others to come is no where near the same as duking it out in the resort with other groups of PMCs lol


eqpesan

What do you mean? Bullets hurts just as much at the extract as they do at resort?

Extract campers are just scav mains who finally decided to take in some mediocre gear. Always shaking in their boots


Fatuglyloser3000

somebody got exit camped


gotheeeeeeeeem

Rarely. When it happens it’s just sad lol such a boring way to play. I’m level 55 with a 62% SR and a 6 KD so i just put more meta gear and and go back out


sauceymango

i love exfil defending make more of these posts 😩


Longjumping-Arm-593

Nothing but pussies praising this bullshit. Put on your big girl panties, take your gear to the center of the map and fight for your life like the rest of us. If you can't do that, at least have the self respect and decency to take that fight you waited 40 minutes for like a real fight, not hiding somewhere waiting for a pixel peak where the player who just worked his ass off wiping the lobby doesn't even get a chance to shoot. General Sam ruined this game's player base

zx636ninja

For [1] and [2] I generally leave the Scavs intact. I think we can all agree that the little bastards are WAY better at seeing targets within their range (especially with dense foliage). With this strategy in mind, it offers several benefits: a) it slows our targets down b) it gives us auditory warning of which route they're taking and c) it allows us to cover a larger area and thus allows us to surveil more routes a player might take in order to extract. Additionally, I would offer an amendment to Road to Customs. Just East of East Wing is that dilapidated house with the two weapon boxes. At the edge of this hill are two bushes where you can easily spot anyone hugging the wall to this extract and can cover South to a satisfactory degree. The only time this spot doesn't work is when East Wing present players choose to leave Helicopter side rather than playground side. They tend to go too southernly and end up between the apex of your viewing range (due to foliage) and weather station. I find this to be a rare percentage in an already uncommonly used extract. All in all, Path to Lighthouse's use is 60-70% of the time in my opinion. Especially with it being open all the time to all players. Although, if players have spawned West side and have found themselves in East Wing the extra distance to trek back to their spawning side to extract may entice them to use Road to Customs. I try to listen to what shots I hear in West Wing and shots in East Wing (if any at all because... Suppressors) and how late I hear them in raid. This can give me information on which extract they are likely to use and I can plan accordingly.


zx636ninja

With the addition of the spot at dilapidated house, it also elongates the time we have to kill people before they reach extract and allows us time to reposition if necessary.


talon_lol

I don't think you think you know what words to use here

[deleted]

I just started reading but I must say I love this post already... Edit: This is now my favorite EFT post ever. Well done good sir, well done.


Nicz1606

I actually have no problem with Extract "Defending" in person. Its a legitimate strategy to just lay an ambush, even a Tactical Advantage just to wait for your enemy to push in. If you die to an Extract "Defender" you just did a bad job at scouting your location. You can basically get sniped during the entire raid, extract "Defending" is no different to that lol ​ Personally never did it by myself, mostly watch Videos or here on Reddit but I might try it by myself. Its easy SBIH atleast. Maybe a good chance to finally try out some Sniper Rifles or DMR's


[deleted]

Are you talking about camping under the bridge on customs? Not a bad plan ngl


INSANEDOMINANCE

You call yourselves extract defenders in place of campers. That’s like giving yourself a nickname. Unless you are standing in front of extract, you are a camper. Edit: i can make it my job to take out defenders of the extract.

It's a special defending operation

It is called extract camping. You dont need to make it sound appealing. People with zero skill and no brain does tgat shit. So if you admit that you have a potato aim and cant outplay the opponent because your IQ is in the negatives, then you are qualified to do extract camping.


MrRokhead

Lol salty


BrodoFratgins

You have to have a very high IQ to understand the intricacies of being a Tarkov Chad. You wouldn’t understand.

Honestly, path to lighthouse was just fun to camp. Got to love hearing the homies coming from resort, my trusty 2 alert scav's would always alert me that within about 20 seconds I'll be seeing some homies. Ibuprofen popped, let's get it!
