Extracts

An extract is a marked zone that takes you back to the hub with everything you're carrying. Walk in, stand still, wait for the countdown.

Finding one#

Extracts are on your map around the clock, with a timer on the marker. Their names are hidden — on the map and here — so a marker doesn't give a location away to someone reading over your shoulder, and learning which marker is which is part of learning the map. On the ground an extract burns smoke and shows a green light.

Using one#

Stand inside the zone. The countdown runs on its own; you don't press anything.
Taking damage does not cancel it. An extract under fire is still an extract. Get in and stay in.
No vehicles. You can't extract while in one. Get out first.
Once an extract fires it needs a moment before it can be used again.

The explosives rule#

Claymores, mines and charges can't be placed or armed within 30 m of any extract, and anything already there is swept. Trap-camping an extract isn't possible. Blocking one with a vehicle is against the rules.

The Lab's exits#

The Lab has its own extracts, and they behave like the rest:

Cargo Gate
Parking Gate
Med Elevator
Labs Elevator

The Lab has the detail on getting in.
