How to Extract
Extraction is not the end of a raid; it is the loudest decision of the raid. This guide is structured around leaving with value instead of dying while trying to make the run perfect.
Quick Facts
Rule of thumb
Leave when you have achieved the goal you entered for.
Risk spike
Extraction can reveal intent and attract nearby players.
Best habit
Choose your exit route before your inventory is overloaded.
Extraction checklist
- Confirm you know the way back to the Trampler or extraction point.
- Drop low-value weight before crossing exposed terrain.
- Reload and heal before activating any visible signal.
- Watch for squads rotating toward the same exit.
- Do not start extra fights after the extraction goal is complete.
Why players lose good runs
Most failed extractions are not caused by one unlucky shot. They happen because the player keeps adding small risks after the raid has already succeeded.
Keep the route simple: secure the valuable item, reduce weight, reset supplies, and leave before the next optional stop becomes the reason you lose everything.
