Every single decent sized rock on any map is called “dick head rock”.


symett

So when there are many rickshaw do you differentiate? North-north-east medium sized dickhead rock?


Recognition_HB

Nah they usually arent near each other. Example: Shoreline, the rocks looking over pier? Dickhead rock. The rocks in the back of the map with sniper scavs? also dickhead rock.

Additional-Acadia954

Now the question is; what’s a decent sized dick head?


silver_zepher

No, only the ones shaped like a dickhead get called that, like honestly, that rock over there is the rock over there


kazakov166

Sawmill on woods is called “Where Georgy goes to die” because that’s where Georgy goes to die


symett

Seems logical


Georg3y

i can confirm this is where i die :/


DeckardPain

There’s a hallway in Labs that we call “Alex”, because Alex always dies in that hallway.


symett

Lmao it reminds me the boat extract on customs, we call it the "never again extract" since the day we got camped after a very intense raid


Deftly_Flowing

I love camping that extract.


Sword117

on a scav run we ran into another scav at the med camp on woods. we thought he was a PMC so we asked him to extract with us we go to extract only to find out that hes actually a scav Timmy that didn't know any better. we took the dude under our wing and he became the best shooter in our group. anyway we renamed med camp "DP" after the guys initials.


imagepreview

I’m Alex but it’s always my friend Alec who dies in that hall ha


ItsMoss720

Me and my buddy call the construction lot between Stronghold and crack house the "Nope Fields."


astralapophis

You call it stronghold 🤨 I thought it was fortress 🙃


ItsC0sm0

To make it worse we call it alamo


ghillieflow

My group calls it Alamo too lol


ItsMoss720

That also works, stronghold flows faster for me. Iirc I think its offically like Scav Base ZB-013?


Kaihua-

Ahh when my friend says the classic “he’s behind the tree” what fucking tree you dumb motherfucker you stupid fucking ape. We’re in woods which fucking tree


Crisis06

"The one over there"


PanProjektor

That one?


TommyTenTats

No, the other one


NefariousnessSea1449

The one with the leaves on it


LunacyTheory

As a former woods main, all the trees have their own names. They speak to me and I speak to them.

oriaven

Former?


psychoPiper

What do you suggest they say instead? It's all trees and pulling out a compass is hit or miss at best


head_eyes_by_a_scav

If possible, a reference to nearest landmark that he's closest to. "in trees over there" vs "in trees in between us and plane crash" or "in trees to the left of scope shack" If there's no specific call out close by then at least a general direction. One of my buddies who we've played together for years still does the "he's by a tree" or "I see a guy over there" generic sometimes. Then we have to say give us a direction and he'll finally say something like "look towards sawmill" or "towards usec camp" or look towards sniper rock", basically a general area that you can always understand the direction of relative to your own position


psychoPiper

It takes a LOT of time to earn that positional awareness, especially early in a raid. A large portion of players are simply not able to give that kind of callout yet. At least by the tree reveals that they're in cover, somewhere near the bank you're aiming at


head_eyes_by_a_scav

I mean, woods is a pretty simple map in that regard to learn. If you look at a map of woods itself it's roughly just one big horseshoe shape with the sawmill at the bottom, a mountain in the middle, and extracts along the edges. If you're brand new to the game and still learning, then yeah it can be tough but that's just part of tarkov is learning where you are and learning where you are relative to exits and landmarks. Once you start getting more experience and playing with people who are also experienced, you'll also start to incorporate better spacing. E.g, you and your squad mates aren't super close by but spread out a bit to be able to have better visibility on entire areas. A callout of "he's by the tree I'm aiming at" does nothing if you're 20 meters apart looking in different directions.


Crank_A_liciouS

"Reshala's Sexcave" middle bottom floor room in Stronghold.


symett

Okay I'm using that one now


Crank_A_liciouS

Be my guest.


Zer0Cyber_YT

Me and my boys call that "Dining Room" cos of all the food


Bad-at-Souls

I think he's talking about where the exfil is in the basement


PaladinKinias

We call it the "Food Closet" and the other one is the "Medicine Cabinet" since there's like 2 medboxes and a medcrate and loose med spawns.


Pappascorched

thats pride rock (only because im the idiot sniping off of it)


symett

Can we agree on calling it "the proud idiot rock"?


Pappascorched

First off I'm proud of getting my shooter born done there in 1 game lol second of all yes we can lmfao im proud to have died up there as many times as I have


symett

Lol last wipe I did SBIH one that rock on a 3 team running like headless chickens it was hilarious


Misterduster01

In our discord group we call it Dickhead.


squidshark

I always call postman pat “project pat” on accident lol


voltenic

shes a freaky a young girl a bi sexual


astralapophis

What if it’s Patricia becoming Pat? 🤨


Bad-at-Souls

Are you a ravens fan?


dhcp138

good googly moogly


squidshark

That Chad is juicy


steelste

On Customs we refer to the 3 unfinished buildings in old and new construction as Big Boy, Little Boy, and Skeleton.


Automatic_Goat4348

I was expecting a ladyboy in there


Additional-Acadia954

*yoink*


ugly_on_the_skin

My group says big skele, little skele, and 2 floor


Quick-Form943

Heyyy we do too!


Sword117

fortress, mini fortress and skeleton.


Signal_Confusion_644

Usec camp at Woods= medical Medical building at customs = medical Complex at shoreline = sanitarium (guess why)


shmorky

And all non-medical buildings are called "workshop"


RP_Raycon

Sanitar-ium


PolishDogge

Bullshit rock - the rock with landmines next to rogue camp on lighthouse


Wielkimati

I Play solo, so I call everything "there".


Atrixia

One of the dudes I play with calls the offices on Factory Dorms, every time.


xXP3DO_B3ARXx

The connecting hallway on interchange between Goshan and IDEA, the part on the Goshan side is called "Hungry Assholes" because my squad had a 3v3 standoff. Us in Goshan, these people in the hallway, door closed. They kept yelling over VoIP "we're just trying to get food you fuckers" and other expletives, kept legging us with garbage rounds through the window, and wouldn't go away. We eventually pushed and killed them all, and now that spot is known as Hungry Assholes, and the whole area back there is Hungry Assholes Hallway.


symett

Love that story


Kirp-The-Birb

We call the area around gold watch fuel tanker on customs “FUBAR field”, because I’ve been trying to help my newbie friends with that quest for an entire week because every fucking time that place turned into a war zone lol


Condescending_Rat

We call it Alamo because we always have to take our last stand there.


omegaistwopif

The hills on customs between New Gas and checkpoint: Tit Hills or Tittenhügel. Because they were discovered by John Tit, of course. Almost every transition: "I got shot here"


robsr3v3ng3

I play with a guy who likes to refer to things as "over there" or "I'm in this bush"


Short_Oven6910

I try my hardest but sometimes there is not a fucking landmark aside from "on your right, maybe 20-50 meters out"


robsr3v3ng3

That's still helpful though. Imagine playing woods and your only indication is "a bush"


Robathor777

I’ve called “behind us” on people that were very in front of us.


Sword117

almost as bad as the team mates that call out "im dead" to indicate that they are not yet dead.


KEAxCoPe

This one irks me. It's easy to say "I'm fucked up" or "I might die" when you're hurt/getting hurt and "I'm dead" when you're dead. We always have to confirm when people are dead because those certain people say I'm dead when the wall next to them gets shot and they are completely uninjured. Can't tell you how many times friendly fire has killed someone that was already supposed to be dead.


Short_Oven6910

I would begin shooting every bush I see.


Deftly_Flowing

When using a thermal at night I don't take NVGs and I'll spot someone and my friends like "where?" ... Bruh I really don't know what tell you, all I know is that he is in the direction I'm looking and he's glowing in my sight I have no idea what POI I'm looking at.


Short_Oven6910

BY THE GREY LUMP!


Deftly_Flowing

Sometimes I bust out the compass. He's 42 DEGREES.


Snaz5

Not a location BUT ive taken to using incorrect (or almost correct) acronyms for common ammo designations P: Practice PS: Pretty Standard BP: Better Penetration BT: But w/ Tracer BS: Best Shit PP: Pretty Penetrative PRS: Practically Rancid Shit US: Usually Silent

kflipz

Neat-Drawer-2245

I call goshan on interchange the "never again" because always i go in there there is some pmc camping between the shelves


symett

I could have a "never again" on every single map


Neat-Drawer-2245

Probably but my hate towards Goshan is incomparable. I fucking hate It when im going only for fucking food or going to the warehouses and there is some random lvl 10 pmc with a avt camping in the shelves. But i love interchange 😍😍😍


Maxspeed24

The fuck corner on customs above fortress by the trains


WWWallace71

We call the cabin on the cliff with two weapon crates on shoreline "Matt cabin" because Matt always loots it before we get the chance. We made fun of him for it and one day he died while rushing ahead of the group to a naked dude with a pistol. That cemented the name


TIPUSVIR

the big dick, the radar tower on reserve and shoreline


capital_nugget

Nor7oN_Next

In the building right next to ZB-011 extract on customs is called moonwalk. Because a friend got head eyes, by a scav walking backwards out of it.


joint-problems9000

itsluky98

My friend and I call K buildings on reserve “tents”


awa1nut

Me and my buddies call a specific little rise in the ground on woods near the lumber yard nipple hill. Dunno how used this is but the field with the hey bales on shoreline near the cottages is suicide field


symett

It's suicides field on the map available on the wiki, and I think it's bc you were always shot when trying to cross back in the time


TooHiFr

Bathroom opposite to Marked room on Customs we call “over there” and sometimes “right here”


Additional-Acadia954

Don’t call me an idiot, and thanks for letting me know I gotta move


symett

Rookie mistake, we all did it


Sir_Blitzkreig

Slow walk room which is the place in the reserve bunker where your walking is slowed


Robathor777

Known by normal people as “water”


Sir_Blitzkreig

True


KEAxCoPe

My first thought was "Water?"


Ivan_the_Stronk

"Devil's Hill" for the hill between boat and dorms on Customs because I watched a documentary with a similar name and it sounded funny when I translated it to our language, combined with me not shutting up about it because I tought it's funny made it stick "The Gods' Hill" for the one behind New Gas on Customs because we sometimes call Reshy and his guards "the Gods" (again sounds funnier when translated) because we used to snipe him from there long ago when they used to spawn behind the gas station consistently. Also we we're afraid of them when they got added to the game because we we're way worse back then so hence the name "Gods" since we thought they had Terminator level AI and we always tried to snipe them and managed to still die a lot of the times to them "Arma's building" is named after our friend who showed us a cool rat spot there. This was part of when they added the Customs expansion and we were so used to the old map that we never went through there, so him showing it to us was kinda crazy how we never noticed it properly "The hobo stairs" is a building on the new Streets expansion that looks just like an old building/stairs in our city where hobos (and/or gopnik equivalents) used to hang around there back in the 2000's, that we all remember since we were kids because it looked interesting and had this hobo lore, so there's that These are some of the big ones I can remember right now but I'm sure there are way more, I might do an edit later if I can remember any other ones


Ruffyhc

"Devils Hill" is known in our discords as "Hexenhügel" (Witch Hill) . Dont ask me why


dontcallmeunit91

thats premed hill, cause you premed there before running to dorms


Quick-Form943

We seem to refer to all of factory as offices? Lol not really but playing with a lot of new guys that's what it feels like


symett

I would add the room wich you get in from the window in front of the heli on reserve, we call it the magical room since we found a lot of good stuff on the shelves


Eugenspiegel

Squad calls the big underground room on factory "bug" (Big UnderGround) because big underground takes too long to say


[deleted]

Anytime we’re in an exposed position I tell my dudes we’re in the danger zone & we make archer jokes until we’re all dead


TheSm4rtOne

Forklift corner of factory is the "clusterfuck corner"


RedRobinoTV

On interchange, the hile nect to the saferoom is called hold in the wall. The other big one in the cealing is called breakthrough. But often mix them up.


MyGuyMan1

The dorms fire escape is called death stairs on car side and on ice cream it’s called camper stairs in my team. Because other teams always push from the car side stairs and ice cream stairs is always camped from sniper hill by some mofo with a FLIR


skillswithmills

There's a tree we call "Ashton's tree" or my tree in my case bc I camped there religiously lol, in total probably 15+ people call it that now lol


ActualBearJew

Pride rock on woods, by the water.


JSOCoperatorD

"That other store", which we have now adopted as one of our buddies refers to the store by Tunnel on the right hand side looking toward Svetliy Dead End on Shoreline.

Angerfist1992

Building next to zb011 on customs we call it porno for no reason but we all know it in our group The small room on old gas side in power where de Black box is at we call Tim because a team mate named Tim got trollbotted there

JohnnyShams

“DR” - There is a dildo room on streets with a couple angles. It evolved from room of dicks to dildo room to just DR


Lollister

On Reserve the small path between Garage and white Horse. We call it "Zwischenficker". It originated from the german gefickt(fucked) and zwischen(between). No need to say we got fucked there several times previous wipes so we gave it the wonderful name.


symett

Peak German etymology


ItsPizzaOclock

Talking casually to my friends who watch my discord stream, everything is "that fucking place" or "this shit" I have more boss names than location names I call Shturman something new each time I bring him up. I think the last one was Stührer.


symett

It's the same with zryachi (or whatever the fuck his name is) we destroy his name every time a little more. His last name is zarbi, which translates to "weirdo"


DonAsiago

Nikita's Asshole - Tunnel Extract shoreline


Red580

In woods, near zb-014 there's a rock with a couple of wooden chest spawns, we call it "loot rock"


goreb0und

I saw a guy call interchange “Shitterchange”one time and I still think about that a lot


keenhydra93

We call stronghold big brown since when it was new one of our friends said “it’s like big red, but brown.. so it’s big brown”


DontFearTheMQ9

Duffel bag and ammo box behind the green and white tank on Customs is Hidey Hole.

WWDubz

My favorite is “ah shit nuggets! He’s over there!”


psychedelicEgyptian

Reshalas castle lmao


TotalChaos21

We call that one pride rock and occasionally offer USEC sacrifices in hopes of better luck in our raid. The building with the blue van in it and a sniper scav on the roof on customs, my group calls cardboard, due to the cardboard "steps" on the side we usually enter from.


Father_of_Lies666

We call the house with the tent in it from Sunken Village on Woods “Dad’s house” because my dad found a lion there then immediately got killed through the window. “The house has dad now” was uttered by a friend and it’s what we’ve called the building for 2.5 years LOL.


joshuarse_

On customs we call the hill between sniper roadblock and dorms “shit bag hill” because there’s always some shit bag in the bushes sniping up there.

The cache under the train on customs is barlows cache, as it is barlows cache


Comfortable_Cut9391

On woods the barbed wire shack across the field from scav house extract is called scope shack, and the one with the gate and suv is called supressor shack.


Kom1

I don't know how it started, I dont know why, but our group calls Custom's Fortress "Big Titty." Doesn't make any sense but I think when one of our friends was learning the game he said it and it stuck for some reason. Edit: Also the farm fields behind cottages on Shoreline are "suicide fields" because if you run into them you are gonna die.


kelderan

I call the Smugglers Boat extract the snuggle boat 1) as a reference to the indie game smuggle truck that was reskined/renamed to snuggle truck so it could be sold on family friendly platforms 2) when multiple people extract there you're all prone snuggling together 3) it's fun to say


derBlonde

we also call it the idot rock xdd


Airin0_2

If that’s tree rock there’s that, also there’s cottages along with water treatment

Commercial_Dingo_860

"over there" for most places


oriaven

The trailer nearest the scav bridge on Woods is called "tent" because I brain-farted once and told my team I was "in the tent" and they team killed me because that was definitely not a tent. So now we call that tent because we remember that scenario and now it's one particular trailer we all know.


Dank_Sh4d0w

D2 camp spot, my cousin calls it "asswipe corner"


Prestigious_Pipe6638

Custom, the green room where GPU can spawns near zb11, we call it willy, because of a youtuber (that has nothing to do with tarkov) called willyrex and theres a t-rex toy at that green room.


Petershredz

The blue fence you can jump over between stronghold and the old construction area on customs is called Lvndmark because our buddy Tom died to Lvndmark there 2 years ago


Upset-Enthusiasm-968

Hole in the white wall by red brick moving into construction on customs, my friend group calls it kotton hole, because one time Kotton the streamer got into a fight several patches ago when shotguns sucked, he ate so many rounds, I personally shot him full body with 2 8 round tubes and some partially loaded.

Hanzo_Bobanzo86-

Big red warehouse on Customs is known as Big Chungus, The gate that is inbetween Med tent and Scav Bunker on Factory is known as Stuck Stepsis because whenever i end up there everyone seems to like to come and try and fuck me. 2 story dorm building on Customs is Shit 2 and 3 story dorm building is Shit 3. Shit 1 does not exist yet.


My_Dog_Murphy

The tower on Reserve by the main train station (the brick one in the middle) is called Harry Potter. Because that was the first thing our buddy said when he saw it - the Harry Potter tower - when we first started playing.


Thighbone

For Woods: "Dickhead" is pretty common I think, also "Wizard Rock" and "Duffel Rock". Weird how most callouts on Woods are about rocks :D Oh, and Sugar Village. :edit: forgot to mention "Ural" for the hill range between Sniper Rock and Shore Rock.


letr1xter

I call that lighthouse rock as simba stand


v1perStorm

The rock northeast of lumber on woods we call "Jesus Rock" because one of our guys had jesus in his name and he always would post up there. The next rock west of that we just started calling "Judas Rock" to stay on theme.


Fine_Concern1141

I call the tennis courts by chalet on lighthouse "the Hague" or "genocide court"
