Escape from Tarkov Arena will take place in various arenas of the city of Tarkov, each with its own layout, features, and hazards. Some of the maps that have been shown or teased are:
- Factory: A small and fast-paced map set in an abandoned industrial complex. It has multiple levels, tight corridors, and dark corners that make for intense close-quarters combat.
- Stadium: A large and open map set in a sports stadium. It has a central arena surrounded by stands, booths, and tunnels that offer different vantage points and cover options.
- Subway: A medium-sized map set in an underground metro station. It has multiple tracks, platforms, and trains that create dynamic firefights and movement opportunities.
- Mall: A map that has not been shown yet, but presumably involves a shopping center with various shops, escalators, and atriums.
