Escape from Tarkov · BTR routes · patch 1.3.0.0
On Lighthouse the BTR does not show up every raid, but when it does it comes out right at the start. It drives the whole length of the map, from the water treatment plant down to the lighthouse road, and waits about a minute at every stop.
Arrival times are estimates. The BTR comes out at a different time each raid and waits a different time at each stop. In the tracker, tap or hover over a stop to see when each route gets there next.
"Comes out at" is the raid timer, counting down from 40:00. That is 0:30 to 1:00 into the raid.
The map shows every road the BTR uses on Lighthouse, every stop, and where it comes in.
Each raid the BTR picks one route at random. It comes in at that route's entry, drives the stops in order, waits at every one, and then starts the loop again. The colours match the tracker.
The road in from the top of the map, past the Northern Checkpoint exit. Nobody can get in until it reaches its first stop.
The mountain road at the top right of the map, by Passage by the Lake and the Road to Military Base exit. Nobody can get in until it reaches its first stop.
On the small maps the numbers are the stop order and the blue diamond is where the BTR comes in. A dashed road is the part outside the playable map. A thin hook at a stop is where it turns around. It pulls forward, backs up, then drives back through the stop and on.
Lighthouse has 8 BTR stops. At each one it waits 1:00 to 1:20, about a minute, and the wait is different every time.
| Stop | R1 | R2 | R3 | R4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Checkpoint | 1 | 1 | 2 | 8 |
| WTP Building 1 Parking | 2 | 8 | 3 | 7 |
| WTP Building 2 Parking | 8 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Village Crossroads | 7 | 3 | 8 | 2 |
| Construction Site | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
| UN Checkpoint | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
| Road to Lighthouse | 5 | 6 | 6 | 5 |
| Southern Road | 6 | 7 | 7 | 6 |

One sighting of the BTR driving from one stop to the next usually tells you.
When you spot it, tap "I see it" in the Lighthouse BTR tracker. The tracker drops the routes that don't fit and restarts the times from that moment.
The leaving warning, paid rides and the rest of how the BTR behaves are the same on every map. See how the BTR moves in the BTR Driver guide.
In about 7 raids out of 10, between 0:30 and 1:00 into the raid. On the raid timer that is between 39:30 and 39:00. It drives off to its first stop right away.
Between 1:00 and 1:20, so about a minute. The wait is different at every stop. About 15 seconds before it leaves, the driver says it is about to go.
There are 8: Northern Checkpoint, WTP Building 1 Parking, WTP Building 2 Parking, Village Crossroads, Construction Site, UN Checkpoint, Road to Lighthouse and Southern Road.
Four. Each raid it picks one at random and drives it in a loop until the raid ends. R1 and R2 come in at the north entry. R3 and R4 come in at the north-east entry.
No. It shows up in about 7 raids out of 10. When it does, it comes out between half a minute and a minute into the raid, so if you do not see it early, it may not be there at all.
