Escape from Tarkov Battle Pass Documents: Locations and Spawns


Every Battle Pass document type drops on a fixed set of maps, and the item's own in-game description names them. The full type-to-map list is in the table below, reviewed on August 28, 2026 against Patch 1.1.0.0.

TerraGroup documents are the item trail behind KORD BREACH Battle Pass progress. Pick the wrong map and you can spend a raid looking for a type that is not reported there. Pick the right map, extract your document, and your next reward requirement becomes a clear route instead of a guess.

This tracker separates Battlestate's confirmed rules and official type-to-map lists from the community-mapped room markers. Use it to choose the document type, target map, route style, and daily-cap plan before loading into a raid.

The daily transfer cap is the real limit on Season 1 progress: 30 documents a day in PvP Season, 20 in PvP Zone, 15 in PvE Zone, and the days you do not play are simply gone. Our EFT documentation farm works that ceiling on the days you cannot raid. It draws on the same shared daily counter you do, so it spends today's cap on the days you cannot raid instead of letting the day expire unused. Tell us the types you still need and the farm is scoped to those. 4.9 on Trustpilot from 4,791 reviews.

📄 What are TerraGroup documents?

TerraGroup documents are Battle Pass items that Escape from Tarkov players collect and extract to claim KORD BREACH rewards. Battlestate Games says the documents come from raids, the KORD BREACH task line, and certain Black Division operatives. Battle Pass progress and earned rewards are shared across PvP Season, PvP Zone, and PvE Zone.

TerraGroup document types

Battlestate prints the map list for every document type inside the item's own in-game description, so the type-to-map table below is official rather than community-guessed. Read the description in your stash and it will name the maps that type drops on - three for every type checked here, though a balance patch can change that. What is not official is the room-by-room spawn set, so treat each map as a confirmed hunting ground and still check a current marker source for the rooms.

Not every type carries the TerraGroup name in its own description - Project documentation, for example, is credited to Tarkov Infraline - but all of them count the same way toward the Battle Pass. The useful distinction is simple. The raid documents are the normal items you loot and extract. Classified documents are a separate universal substitute that Battlestate says can replace any other required type. They are not a raid drop: you buy them with TarCoins in the Expansions Hub, so treat them as a paid shortcut rather than a route. Battlestate clarified on August 24 that they cannot be used in the Black Division gear crate exchange, work in any game mode, are not deleted on a progress reset, and carry over into future seasons. Read the official Escape from Tarkov Battle Pass announcement for the core system rules.

How they advance the Battle Pass

Documents advance the Battle Pass when the required document is in the inventory of any game mode. That shared system means a PvE Zone raid can support a reward you later use in PvP Season, and the reverse is also true. Battlestate's Battle Pass announcement does not tie document progress to a Seasonal Character, so a normal profile can collect documents. Confirm in-client before planning around it.

Choose the document type your next reward requests before you choose a map. This guide does not list reward tiers or progress math because the KORD BREACH Season 1 guide owns that decision.

🗺️ Battle Pass document locations and spawns by map

The map tracker below matches each document type with the locations its own in-game description names. The map list is official; the exact rooms are not. Check the live map, current patch notes, and your in-game objective before committing a key, kit, or group route. The Escape from Tarkov guides hub collects the map and quest pages for the locations named below.

Location table

The tracker organizes document locations by type. The standard-document rows reproduce the map list printed in each item's in-game description, reviewed on August 28, 2026 against the in-game descriptions and current item databases. Classified documents are different because Battlestate defines them as a universal substitute rather than a map-specific raid document.

The Tarkov Documents Map is a useful starting point because it labels itself community-made, shows marker details and screenshots, includes key requirements, and displays its update date. It is not affiliated with Battlestate Games. Refresh it before a route and report a bad marker rather than treating an old screenshot as a fixed spawn.

The same official item-description data, inverted: pick the map you already run, see what it drops.

Evidence status

The table uses two evidence labels, and one more applies to everything below the map level:

  • Official (in-game item description): the map list is printed in the item's own description in your stash. That is Battlestate's own text, not a community guess.
  • Confirmed by Battlestate: the mechanic is stated in a Battlestate post or patch note. Personal raid spawns, shared Black Division drops, the Classified documents rules and the daily transfer limits all sit here.
  • Community-mapped: not a table value. It covers the room-by-room markers that current player resources report for each map. Good for route planning, never official.
  • Check in-game: Exact rooms, marker counts, key needs, route timing, and reset behavior can change first. Confirm them in the live client and current map source.

Battlestate's launch post gave only broad map examples: "one type can be found on Streets of Tarkov and Customs, while another appears on Factory and The Lab". No shipped document type actually pairs Factory with The Lab, so treat that post as pre-release marketing copy and read the item description in the client instead.

Last verified

Reviewed on August 28, 2026 against the in-game item descriptions and current item databases, Patch 1.1.0.0 of August 3 plus the technical updates through August 21, the official free Battle Pass announcement on Steam, Battlestate's document balance update of August 13 and its Classified documents clarification of August 24. The official balance values and community markers can change after a technical update, so recheck after every Tarkov patch.

🧭 What are the best document routes?

The best document route starts with the type you need, then uses a current community map on a location you can survive and extract from reliably. A fast-looking route is not useful if it skips the documented markers, requires a key you do not have, or ends with an avoidable death before extraction.

Low-risk route

For a lower-friction route, select one document type and one familiar map. Open the live tracker, pin a small group of marked locations, and make extraction the priority after you find a document. Ground Zero is named in the in-game description for both Medical documents and User documentation, but the exact marker set is community-mapped and needs a current check. Icebreaker is the one map on the list that is not a free pick: it needs the Boreas and Hangover questlines plus a paid Shoreline transit in and a paid extract out, and community reporting on the August 6, 2026 technical update put those fees at 700,000 roubles in and 4,000 euros out, up from 400,000 and 2,400. Reserve or Lighthouse for PMC personnel files, and Shoreline or Woods for Test documentation, are the cheap routes to the same types.

Do not turn this into a full-map sweep. Your goal is a clean document extraction, not an hour of unplanned loot detours. If the map needs a key or the reported marker is in a dangerous sightline, choose a different reported map for the same type.

Squad route

A squad can coordinate the route without competing for ordinary raid-document copies. Battlestate says each player has personal raid spawns, so another player cannot take your assigned document before you do or loot it from your PMC body. Each player should still check and extract their own copy.

Black Division documentation works differently. Battlestate says qualifying drops from defeated Black Division operatives are shared among players. Call out that exception before the squad starts, then keep the group focused on surviving the extract rather than assuming every document interaction behaves the same way.

Catch-up route

Use a catch-up route when only one or two types remain. Pick the needed type, choose one reported map, refresh the marker source, and take the shortest route that still gives you a realistic extract. Factory can be a compact Project or Blueprints option, but it is not a guaranteed quick clear and its current markers may include high-risk or key-dependent rooms. If Factory is the map you keep dying on, a Factory raid carry is a way to bank the run instead of repeating it.

For a visual example, this community Factory route video shows how one player approaches a fast loop. Use it for landmarks and route ideas, not as a promise of a three-minute run or a fixed number of documents. Your lobby, route knowledge, and live marker set decide the actual raid.

Do not know the map well enough to extract? 🚀

A document you found and did not extract does not count. If the reported map for the type you need is one you die on, that is a route problem, not a spawn problem, and the fix is map knowledge. Our EFT raid carries cover the main document maps, run on your account by a booster who knows the route and the extracts. Check the service page for the maps and modes live right now.

🤝 Are document pickups personal or shared?

Ordinary raid documents are personal, while qualifying Black Division document drops are shared. This difference lets squads move through reported document areas without racing for the same normal item. It also means a Black Division encounter needs a different pickup plan and clear communication.

Personal pickup rules

Personal document spawns compared with shared Black Division drops in Escape from Tarkov
Two rules in one raid. The Black Division drop is the stated exception.

Battlestate describes raid documentation as task-item-like. Every player receives personal document spawns. Another player cannot pick up the document intended for you before you do, and other players cannot loot that personal document from your PMC body after you die.

That rule removes one common source of squad friction. It does not remove the need to extract. The official balance update says the document transfer counter begins once at least one document has been taken out of a raid, so treat a successful extraction as the end of the document run.

Shared items

Documentation found on defeated Black Division operatives is shared among all players. That is the stated exception to the personal-spawn rule. Tell the squad which type of document interaction you are dealing with before you loot the body.

A shared Black Division drop does not turn normal map spawns into shared loot.

Squad edge cases

Mixed-mode planning is where teams can get confused. Progress is shared across modes, but the daily limit is not: it varies by the mode you have selected. Do not build a plan around adding three separate caps together.

If your team sees behavior that conflicts with the guide, capture the mode, patch version, and source of the document. Then check Battlestate's latest update before repeating a claimed rule in your group plan.

⏱️ Battle Pass document daily cap and mode limits

Battlestate's current balance update lists daily document transfer limits of 30 in PvP Season, 20 in PvP Zone, and 15 in PvE Zone. The same update says each map has 14 documents, except Factory with 10, and that the transfer counter begins once a document is extracted. These values are hotfix-sensitive.

Official limit rules

Daily Battle Pass document transfer caps: 30 in PvP Season, 20 in PvP Zone, 15 in PvE Zone
Battlestate's published caps from the 13 August 2026 balance update.

The current figures come from Battlestate's official document balance update of August 13, 2026. The update raised the earlier limits from 25 to 30 for PvP Season, from 15 to 20 for PvP Zone, and from 10 to 15 for PvE Zone. It also raised the document count to 14 per map, except Factory at 10.

Use the values as a daily planning ceiling, not a promise that every document will be easy to find. The same official post says the counter begins once at least one document has been extracted. It does not publish an exact reset time.

Mode-wide effects

The launch rules state that the daily limit depends on the selected game mode while progress toward that limit is shared across modes. That makes your selected mode part of the route decision. It does not support a plan that treats every mode as an independent daily bank.

If you change modes, check the live counter behavior and current Battlestate notes before you assume a remaining amount. Make the in-game interface the final authority when a hotfix and an older guide disagree.

Unverified numeric reports

Do not treat an exact reset hour as fact until Battlestate posts one. Do not treat a community report about spawn visibility, late-cap behavior, secure-container handling, or a mixed-mode calculation as a universal mechanic. Those details are where launch-week guides age fastest.

The durable plan is simpler. Check the official cap, run the document type you actually need, extract what you find, and record the date and mode when you update your tracker.

✅ How should you track missing documents?

A useful document tracker records the needed type, target map, evidence source, key requirement, extraction result, and check date. That record makes it easy to switch maps after a patch without mixing confirmed rules with a marker someone shared during launch week.

Checklist fields

Copy this list into Notes, a spreadsheet, or a printable raid card. Mark a document as complete only after the extraction succeeds.

Field

What to record

Document type

The exact type your next Battle Pass requirement asks for

Target map

One current community-mapped location for that type

Evidence source

Official rule, community map, screenshot guide, or in-game check

Key needed

Required, optional, or not reported

Found

Yes or no during the raid

Extracted

Yes only after the item leaves the raid with you

Date checked

The patch date or calendar date of the route

Export/print

Keep the tracker small enough to use before you queue. A one-page list works better than a giant collection of copied room names. Print it, save it as a phone note, or create one row per document type in a shared squad sheet.

Add links to the current community map rather than transcribing every marker. This keeps your own tracker useful when the community map corrects a location or a patch changes document behavior.

🛒 Need help with the remaining types?

Use the tracker first, then decide if you want help with the specific document types still blocking your Battle Pass. The useful handoff starts with a clear target, chosen mode, and current daily capacity. It should never replace the route information you need to make an informed decision.

Prerequisites

Before you ask for assistance, identify four things:

  • the document type
  • the reward path it supports
  • your selected mode
  • the daily capacity you have left

Those details make it easier to assess whether help fits the actual blocker rather than a vague request to "farm documents."

Supported modes

Mode, method, and current service availability can change with the live game. Check the active service page before you order. This guide does not claim that every mode, route, or document type is always available.

Limits and ETA

Daily caps, map conditions, and patch changes affect what can be done in a session. If you want a professional option after using the tracker, confirm the current scope on the service page before placing an order.

Finish the last types without the grind 🚀

If the tracker leaves you with one or two stubborn types, decide whether you want help with those specific documents rather than with "farming" in general. Bring the document type, the reward it unlocks, your selected mode and the daily capacity you have left.
