In Escape from Tarkov, the Lighthouse map is the latest addition in 2024. Along with a wealth of good loot locations, the faction of "Rogues" was also introduced with it. This guide will show you how to best deal with the aforementioned Rogues and provide all other information on spawns, exits, loot spots, and keys.
TLDR-Guide for the Lighthouse map:
Like all other maps in Escape from Tarkov, Lighthouse has different spawn points. There are a total of 12 points where your raid can begin on the Tarkov map Lighthouse. With a maximum player count of 12, you can expect to encounter an enemy player at every spawn point in many raids.
The Lighthouse map features almost all known types of exits. The armored train arrives between 16 and 10 minutes before the end of the raid; you recognize its arrival by the double horn sounding. It stays at the station for about 7 minutes and horns again about a minute before departure. The Mountain Pass can be used by anyone without armor in possession of a Red Rebel Pickaxe and a Paracord. To use the Side Tunnel exit, you need a friendly Scav, and for the Road to Military Base, you should always have 5,000 Rubles on hand.
To navigate Lighthouse, there are several distinctive points. From the southernmost point up to the north, the main road stretches across the entire map. West of the main road is the beach and the bridge to the lighthouse island. To the east, you find a small mountain with two large holiday homes. Further to the northeast, there's a small village, and north of that, the water treatment plant and the station.
Fun Fact: The lighthouse on this map is based on the real Aniva lighthouse off the coast of Sakhalin in Russia. For the Shoreline map as well, the developers used a real location for the Resort.
Bears beware: Scavs are located near almost every important point, but often later in the raid. There are also several Scavs along the main road. The water treatment plant area is particularly dangerous, where you find the more dangerous variant of Scavs, the so-called Rogues. BEAR players should be especially wary of them, as the Rogues only target them. Rogues are equipped with heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. One of the reasons to carefully consider your faction choice.
Normal Scavs can spawn again on the Lighthouse island, and in rare cases, Raiders as well. As USEC, you will not be immediately attacked by the Rogues if you enter the water treatment plant, but after a few warnings, they will also open fire. If you have fought against them, you will be marked as "enemy" for some raids and immediately attacked if you are within range.
There are four bosses on the Lighthouse map. The newest of them was introduced with the unlocking of the peninsula and is called "Zryachiy."
The bosses you can encounter on the Lighthouse map are the "Goon-Squad." However, they are not always on Lighthouse; they can also roam on various other maps like Customs, Shoreline, or Woods. On Lighthouse, they are either in the area of the water treatment plant or at the Chalet. The best ways to encounter them are not yet fully known and will be recorded in an additional guide, which we will then link in all affected map guides.
The Tarkov map Lighthouse offers many
good loot locations. Besides the new area around the lighthouse, there was already much to collect before the last patch. You should definitely visit the following spots.
In these small hideouts, you can find almost every item in the game. Thus, every stash you loot brings the possibility of making a really big catch. Not only as a PMC can you increase your loot, but as a Scav, you often still have the chance to take some very sought-after items out of the raid. On the following map of the Escape From Tarkov map Lighthouse from 2024, we have marked all stashes.
Of course, Lighthouse also has some locked doors. We will list below which keys you need to open all locks you find. (Beware, keys to areas from patch 12.12.30 are not all known yet.)
