Woods Map Guide

The Map

Woods in 2026

Major Areas

• Sawmill: Shturman and guards. Timber piles, lumber yard PvP.
• Lumber Camp: Alternative boss spawn zone.
• Scav House: Isolated cabin with safe spawn — solid loot.
• Outskirts / USEC camp: Quest hotspot.
• Plane Crash / Old Station: Rare keyed loot.
• Bunker Hermetic Door: End-game quest chain extract.
• RUAF Roadblock: Central chokepoint and extract.

The Boss

Shturman & His Guards

Shturman holds the Sawmill with two guards (named followers). Spawn chance around 35%. He and his guards hold the high ground around the timber sheds and wander the Sawmill interior. Drops his signature SVDS, a guaranteed Sawmill key (opens his stash with guaranteed high-value loot), and chance at graphics cards.

Cheat Advantages

Best Cheats for Woods Raids

• No Sway: Woods is the bolt-action meta map — sway elimination dramatically improves long-range hit rate.
• Player + Boss ESP: Low PvP density means players are spread out; ESP gives you the direction.
• Radar: Woods' size rewards external radar for extract routing.
• Loot ESP: Scav House and key-room loot is spread across the map — loot overlay avoids fruitless runs.
