Normal Extraction Habits
Returner Woodlings are the extraction baseline. The official game loop frames them as the standard way to leave a run with your loot after defeating the Soul of Return path, so learning them first gives every other exit route a safer reference point.
| Approach | Slow down near the exit and listen for fights, footsteps, and other signs that the approach is already hot. |
|---|---|
| Commit | Use defensive cooldowns for the exit window instead of greedily saving them for a fight that may never happen. |
| Abort | If another team controls the angle, rotate to a second exit when possible. |
| Bank | Treat the Soul of Return like the end of the run, not the start of another loot lap. |
Woodling Decision Rule
The best Woodling run is often the one that ends the session without drama. If the current bag already justifies banking, do not turn a normal escape into a long argument over the final doorway.
Before the kill
Check whether the run is already profitable enough to end.
After the kill
Create space and heal before opening every container.
Before the portal
Pick a path that does not force you to stand still under easy fire.
After the portal
Rebuild the next kit before queueing again.
