Imo customs is the best for its versatility, you can go any range you want there and find some mayhem. In terms of showcasing skill I think reserve holds the highest potential for outplaying, dorms is very limited.

Factory and customs.

Labs would be good if cheaters weren't a thing

Labs, labs, and labs

customs

Customs and Factory at first. Later on move to shoreline and reserve. Labs is okay but not really suggested. Interchange is not a good map to PVP due to the terrible lighting and everyone camping corners.

Woods is good. I pvp a lot there. Hit the depot if you clear the map of PMCs.

Grounds Zero hands down. If I want mindlessly run pvp I go there.

Honestly, I love Customs since the additions. It seems like most raids there’s boss, goons, or good PVP

I love interchange. Some spawns are crappy, but the flow of the inside of the mall is a lot of fun

Honestly, it depends on your play style. I'm ratty but I'm also willing to rotate to fights or at least pickup scraps. That said, if I don't have an optimal spawn to get into the mall "first" on my side I'll rotate through garage and loot there, and pop up where I hear the least amount of action to loot.

If I'm there to pvp specifically, I'll push into the mall and get to second floor immediately and rotate towards the side with shots first since you'll likely third party someone responding to the sound of action

Labs hands down. When there isn’t a cheater it’s the best.

Factory is best for pvp experience

customs is your best bet. it's the worst loot map (besides marked/dorms), but you will find a fight almost anywhere on the map at all times lol

Customs, fucktory.

Customs hands down

Labs, Reserve, and if you can force yourself, factory.

Livonia high pop server is the best for pvp in official. you can of course find a pvp deathmatch server, prison riot for example

I promise you Livonia high pop is what you’re looking for. Geared interactions are a little more sparse, but low-mid gear interactions are abundant. Any of the spawn towns (maybe outside Belawa and Lukow?) you’ll see folks

Find a map that has high population... even then you cans till run around for hours without seeing anyone..

Pick a Community server with High X loot so youll have full on gun fights at the coast

Livonia is great for pvp. The spawn towns are usually cracking off constantly, but the further south you go, especially towards the bunker, the higher chance you'll have of geared players ambushing you. A smaller map equals better encounters. I was hopeful for Sakahl, but it's usually just geared players on the coast killing freshies

Chernarus is fine. Just go to the hot spots constantly like NWAF, Zeleno, Vybor, VMC. 2 weeks is not long enough to learn the map and flow of where people go. Worry about learning the map and PVP will come naturally.

To ask “What is the best map in Tarkov?” is like asking “What is the best song?” Everyone’s answer will more than likely vary and it also depends on the situation.

For money, some people will say Lighthouse, some will say Interchange.

For PvP most will suggest Factory or Customs

I’d say that every map serves a purpose, and that map will fulfil that purpose better than any other.

Except Shoreline. Fuck Shoreline

For money? Whatever is the newest map. BSG purposefully puts tons of goodies on them to make people go there (Lighthouse currently)

For PvP? Factory for quick pvp. Customs for more versatile pvp.

Not my favorite map, but you're right

best loot in the game right there.

Terminal

Interchange really early on and reserve has been popping too lately.

Customs is the most fun for me, and for all the dudes I play with. Been getting in to fights there since 2017 lmao

I would say factory. Yes It usually doesn't have very geared people but you can kill 1 pistoling and exfil. Repeat until you get a good lobby or that's how I do it.

Customs usually has the geared players but if they’re not there interchange always has geared players. But there are a lot of places for rats to hide and there are tons of highly geared groups who will just run you over because of how many people they have.

Labs. For the most part it's people hunting each other immediately. It cost money but that's part of it, only people who constantly run labs are chads. You will find the occasional rat but hardly.

If you want pure PvP it's hard to beat Factory.

Some of the best PvP I’ve ever had has taken place on labs or underneath reserve. That said, I’d say factory or resort on shoreline for me.

There are other maps?

Customs always I run straight to fortress or dorms

Factory by far

Anywhere on Labs.

Failing that, usually there's a pretty good chance of finding a fight on Customs around skeleton/construction/ZB-013 area.

Streets, baby.

Sometimes, you might miss the early action due to the size of the map, but there's about an 80% chance that shit is gonna go wild within 3 minutes of raid start.

If you're looking for high chance of action, Reserve bunkers are a good 33% likelihood.

This late in wipe, dorms is like 20% on my servers, which sucks. Fortress is probably 30-40, but a lot of that "action" is player scavs.

Streets I don't play a lot because I haven't learned it, but I've seen action on 100% of my 5 raids on there lmao.

Streetz

Factory.
