The Escape From Tarkov community is sure: Shoreline is the worst map in the game! But why is this opinion so popular?
What happened? On Reddit, more precisely in the Tarkov subreddit, the players are currently talking about which map is the worst in the survival shooter. A user posts: “Shoreline is the worst. Change My Mind” and the community agrees. But why is Shoreline so unpopular among the community?
That’s why Shoreline is said to be the worst map in Tarkov
There are currently 7 maps in Escape From Tarkov. Shoreline is said to be worse than anyone else; and that despite the actually cool structure:
- To the south is the coast with a long main road
- The inland is home to a small village, swamps and a large forest.
- In the middle of the map is the resort, this is where most loot can be found.
- And to the north a river leads out of the map.
At least we like the design. But the problems lie elsewhere, as the OP of the post on Reddit makes clear.
Biggest map, bad loot: On Shoreline, the OP meets campers and rats more often than on all other maps, he says. He rarely succeeds in extracting a lot of loot from the raid. The reason for this are also the few extraction points. There are only 3 of them per raid, of which two like to stay locked. This opens up completely new possibilities for exit campers.
The resort in the middle of the map is also a huge problem: Shoreline may be the largest Tarkov map, but the loot is very poorly distributed. As mentioned above, the resort has most of the loot on the map. That attracts a lot of players – actually all of them.
You have to stop by: The Tarkov community also complains that the south of Shoreline has way too many choke points. These are points at which the map narrows and there is only one or a few accesses to a certain area.
In addition, the spawn in the east is a passage through hell that is reminiscent of D-Day. Players who spawn here have little or no cover on the way to the resort or the coast. An open field that invites opponents to camp.
So you are also successful on Shoreline
Some Reddit users give tips on how to still have fun on Shoreline. Success is never guaranteed, you have to get involved in learning more about the map and its players.
- The routes chosen by players are very predictable. Learn these easy ways:
- Players who spawn in the east run straight to the resort or the radio tower.
- Rats will run straight to the caches and hide there.
- A few take the direct route to the gas station in the south of the map.
- Wait, but don’t be a camper! Certain spawns are more likely to meet players in a short time than others. If you know this, you should set up a trap.
The safest route: In order to extract successfully from Shoreline, you should stick to the electricity pylons. At least until they hit the Killing Fields and then straight west from here.
