Located on the western part of the map, finding the Smuggler’s Tunnel Extraction point can be slightly confusing. Moreover, you’ll also have to bring a Green Flare in your inventory to complete the extraction.

Where is the Smuggler’s Tunnel Extraction in Escape from Tarkov

The best landmark for the Smuggler’s Tunnel Extraction is the mall (if you’re playing in the dark, use the mall’s signs as an icon).

If you take the rail tracks in the forest, going east will get you to the Railway Exfil. Instead, go opposite, and the mall will be on your right.

Go opposite to the entrance of the mall (the signs), and you’ll find a bunch of containers. Go through the containers, and go up the hill and turn left. Go straight past the crane lift, and you’ll find a path going right in between two rocks. You’ll find a truck with a sign on it.

Go right by the truck and follow the path. You’ll reach a green container (image below) with a marking on it. Equip the flare from your inventory, and watch out for the signal flare alarm at the bottom of your screen. You’ll find a guard shack by the container, and this is the best area to use the flare.

If you’re trying to use the flare outside the correct location, you’ll be gunned down. Hence, be careful about where you’re using the flare.

Before you escape, the camp by the marked truck has plenty of items to loot. But the location also has Scavs, so be mindful of that. If you manage to put them away, the loot is all yours, and you can carry them back safely via the extraction.
