Reduced PMC limits mean your first few minutes are usually cleaner \u2014 but that window closes fast once Player Scavs start spawning in. A well-geared PMC can sweep Sawmill, Med Camp, and Scav Village and extract before the map fills up.

New Sawmill (Lumber Mill)<\/strong> \u2014 the single best stop. Shturman spawns here every raid. Shacks 1, 2, and 3 have heavy Moonshine, Superwater, whiskey, and vodka activity, including chairs outside. Alcohol and provisions add solid value even when keycard spawns miss. Inside the cabins, check beds, coats, shelves, tables, and open crates \u2014 players have reported alcohol, jewelry, figurines, rare keys, and Labs keycards around these surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the gray warehouse, slow down around the woodworking machine and lathe area, the chair behind the machine, shelves, floor near crates, and boxes outside the building. Also scan concrete barriers, green crates, truck-side surfaces, and office-adjacent barrels \u2014 the event loot table rewards checking flat surfaces that players normally walk past. Blue, Violet, and other Labs keycards have been reported around cabin and warehouse surfaces (community-tested, not guaranteed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community reports also note that Moonshine and Superwater volume during the event can temporarily push flea prices down \u2014 a useful window if you&#8217;re preparing for expensive barters like the THICC Item Case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Checkpoint opener (spawn-dependent):<\/strong> If you spawn near Checkpoint, use it as a quick first stop before dropping into Sawmill. Check chairs, sandbags, the corpse\/crate area, and nearby car and floor surfaces, then move quickly into the Lumber Mill before Player Scavs start filling the raid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Optional Detour: Blood Car \/ Therapist Vehicle<\/strong> \u2014 between Sawmill and Med Camp. Check the open briefcase area, grass, and dirt around the vehicle for loose valuables, provisions, med items, and reported rare key spawns. Not a core priority, but a fast check if it&#8217;s on your path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Med Camp (Emercom Camp)<\/strong> \u2014 packed with loose valuables. The green canvas tarp inside the camp is a consistent high-value spot. Additional spawns near the stuffed deer head. Check every barrel, crate, and bench surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Scav Village<\/strong> \u2014 multiple residential structures with new valuable tables. The six-bed area has been upgraded for the event. Figurine and poster spawns tend to indicate nearby keycard or key spawns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Old Sawmill<\/strong> \u2014 wooden cabins with active event tables. The Abandoned Factory Marked Key has been reported here. Check both floors of the two-floor wooden house, including walls, floor corners, beds, and coats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Optional: Scav House, USEC Camp \u2014 <\/strong>worth a sweep if your spawn or extract route puts you nearby. Colored keycards have been reported behind the blue truck at USEC Camp and on the eastern side. Lower priority than the top stops, but not dead zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Scav Bunker<\/strong> \u2014 no active event tables confirmed.
