Not quite open world.. but close! Travel through the Tarkov locations to get access to traders, stashes, and even multiple hideouts!
TRAVELER IS DISCONTINUED:
I am focusing on other projects for the foreseeable future, and Traveler’s unfixed bugs are growing, so it’s time to discontinue. I may come back in the future, but for now updates will cease. The last officially supported SPT version was 3.7.1.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR SUPPORT IN THE DISCORD IF YOU ARE RUNNING TRAVELER (or any other outdated mods..)
You may fork version 1.1.1 or earlier under just one condition:
- Rename it. I’d like to keep the name “Traveler” in case I come back in the future, and I don’t need your support requests coming back to me haha.
Give it any license you like, crediting me would be appreciated but is not mandatory!
Hoah, Traveler!
Traveler aims to give an open world adjacent experience. Traders, flea market, stashes, hideouts, etc. are all locked behind different locations.
Currently, this mod basically breaks scav runs. Sometimes you won’t have any exfils at all. I recommend not doing scav runs while using this mod.
(I use this mod to disable them entirely)
Many of the systems below are configurable, if you don’t like something check the config.
I highly suggest creating a new profile before using this mod.
A profile backup system is included! Your profile.json file and also your Traveler profile folder will be saved to user/mods/Traveler/profiles/.profile backups/YourProfileNameAndIDHere/[time, date, etc here]. Up to 100 backups will be saved, happening at game start, raid start, and raid end (all configurable).
How it works:
Offraid Positions:
Your Offraid Position is essentially “where you are” when you are not in raid. When you take an extract, your Offraid Position will update based on where that exfil leads to. It is saved in a profile folder the mod creates for you in user/mods/Traveler/profiles/YourProfileNameAndIDHere/statuses.json.
Note that your profile names MUST have only characters that are allowed to exist in folder names, i.e. no “:” or “/”. Your in game name does not matter, however.
Raid Infiltrations and Exfiltrations:
When you load into a raid, you will always spawn where you are supposed to be. For example, if you are at Customs Warehouse 17, and load into Customs, you will spawn right outside Warehouse 17.
All Exfiltrations that are currently used in the map (via the config) will always be available. No more random infils and exfils, plan routes through the different maps to accomplish whatever goals you have!
Home can be accessed via Customs Warehouse 17. You can also take the car extract on Lighthouse for as a 1 way ticket home (it is not free though), or head to Klimov Street on Streets as a remote home stash access point (does not give access to home traders or hideout).
Checkpoint System:
If at any time you die in raid, you will respawn back at home (Customs Warehouse 17 by default). However, if you buy a Marked Letter from Therapist, you can utilize checkpoints. All traders by default are at checkpoint locations.
Your last visited checkpoint will be stored in your profile’s statuses.json file. If, at the time of death, you have a Marked Letter equipped in one of your special slots (it HAS to be in a special slot) then you will respawn at your last visited checkpoint location instead and your Marked Letter.Carrying the letter in your secured container, or in any inventory space that isn’t a special slot, will cause it to be inactive. This allows you to decide whether you want to respawn at home on death, or at the last trader you visited on the fly while in raid.
Note: If your checkpoint is Home, the Marked Letter won’t lose any durability upon death (since you’d respawn there anyway).
Marked Letter in a special slot:
Traders:
(this entire system can be disabled in the config)
Traders will be locked unless the location you are at gives access to them (can be disabled in config). This includes any services they provide like post raid healing and weapon/ armor repair. Get access to the traders from these locations:
Trader locations:
- Customs, S.E. Mil Base CP: Prapor
- Customs, Warehouse 17: Therapist
- Woods, Northern Bunker (Scav Bunker): Jaeger
- Streets, Ruined House: Mechanic
- Interchange, Survival Camp (Scav Camp): Ragman
- Shoreline, Admin Basement: Skier
- Reserve, Depot Hermetic: Peacekeeper
- Everywhere: Fence
- All base game trader locations (except Home): Flea
-
Fence is the ONLY trader that is accessible everywhere.
-
You need to also be level 10 for the flea to be unlocked (configurable). If the unlock level shows as 420, the location you are at has no flea access.
All of these trader locations are dead end locations, meaning they don’t lead anywhere. You will only be able to infil back into the same map they are on.
Stashes:
(this entire system can be disabled in the config)
Only traders and a select couple other locations have permanent stashes, you will have to carry your things through multiple extracts in most cases before you have the opportunity to store them. Each stash is unique, meaning you can only access the items in the stash that you are currently at. If the stash has an 8x8 size, it is NOT permanent. It is only there to allow you to trade with Fence, any items left in it will be deleted if you enter a raid or close your game.
Stash locations:
You can configure which stashes are upgradable or static/ their sizes in the Stashes section of the config file.
- Home Stash: Customs Warehouse 17
- At each base game trader (these stashes are upgradable separately via the hideout at each location)
- ZB-013 on Customs (this stash’s size will be a static 50 rows that can’t be upgraded)
- Saferoom on Interchange (this stash’s size will be a static 50 rows that can’t be upgraded)
Temporary stashes look like this, don’t leave valuables in these stashes:
Hideouts:
(this entire system can be disabled in the config)
Similar to stashes, you now have multiple of them! Each station’s level, any existing crafts or productions, etc. are ALL independent from eachother. This means you can have multiple crafts running at once, multiple bitcoin farms, etc. You will just have to travel to access them all.
By default, each hideout has all hideout stations. This could be rebalanced later.
Locations with hideouts:
- Home Hideout: Customs Warehouse 17
- At each base game trader
- ZB-013 on Customs
- This location does not have a stash station
- Saferoom on Interchange
- This location does not have a stash station
Other Supportive Features:
- Exiting a raid will give all the items you are carrying Found In Raid status. This happens even if you die.
- Items bought from flea or traders will also be FIR
- Out of raid regen
- Health: Only available at home
- Hydration and Energy: Only at locations with a base game trader
- Exfil tool tips
- When in raid, checking your available exfils will show where they lead, if any traders are there, etc. in parenthesis.
Modded Traders:
If you want to add a modded trader that you don’t see here, it is fairly simple to do so. Just take a look at the trader section in the config.
Broker: Customs, ZB-013
Goblin King: Interchange, Saferoom
Tupitsa: (DRIP trader): Streets, Ruined Apartment
let me know if you have any clever ideas on where to add some more modded traders!

Map Pathing:
These map paths are designed to be balanced around traveling through maps to get to your traders and stashes. You will only ever have access to TWO maps at a time, and all one ways force you to infil on the map they lead to.
Green lines: Two Way Path
- Extracting from either end of this path allows access to both maps’ infil locations the path is connected to.
Red lines: One Way Path
- Extracting into a One Way Path ONLY allows infil at the map’s infil location the red arrow is pointing to.
Orange lines: Alternative to Two Way Path
- Extracting into an Alternative to Two Way Path gives access to the Two Way Path the orange arrow is pointing to.
-
Infilling to the location of the Alternative to Two Way Path can ONLY occur if you just extracted from that same location. Taking a Two Way Path extract won’t ever lead to an Alternative to Two Way Path’s location, but will lead to where the green path is pointing to instead.
-
Example: If you extract from Power Station on Interchange, and then re-enter Interchange, you will spawn at Power Station. However, if you extract from Underpass on Streets and then enter Interchange, you will always spawn at Emercom.
-
Yellow circled extracts: Trader Extractions
- These indicate that they are Trader Extractions that give access to that map’s trader, stash and hideout.
Pink circled extracts: Fence’s Remote Home Access
- These extractions give access to your Home Stash, or travel you there. (thanks Fence, you my main home dawg for offering such a neato service)
Purple circled extracts: Extra storage/ Modded Traders
- These extractions give to stashes that’s size syncs with your home stash’s size, Goblin King and Broker!
Franch Dressing’s open world map (a MUCH higher res version is included in the mod download):
MAP (a higher res version of this map is included in the mod download):
This map is pre Streets expansion, the download includes an updated map. File size is too big to upload here.
To INSTALL:
- Download the zip file.
- Double click it to open, and drag the contents to the root folder of your SPT install.
- You should end up with PTTExtracts.dll in your BepInEx/plugins folder, and the Traveler mod folder in user/mods.
To UNINSTALL:
- Set “uninstall” to true in the Traveler/config/config.json file.
- Load the game once, all the way to the menu. Check and make sure your main stash is loaded and all traders are unlocked.
- Close the game via the Exit button (don’t force close it).
- Delete both the Traveler folder in user/mods and also the PTTExtracts.dll in BepInEx/plugins.
- NOTE: Only your HOME stash and hideout will be saved after uninstall.
At its core, this mod is a rewrite of Path To Tarkov by trap. MOST of the credit should go to him for the original idea. Without his mod as inspiration and a piece of study material for me, this mod likely wouldn’t exist at all.
More thanks:
Fontaine, for creating the PTTExtracts.dll plugin being utilized in this mod, and also helping me test this mod pre-release
DrakiaXYZ, for taking that plugin and making it version agnostic!
kiki for letting me incorporate his MarkFIR mod into Traveler
Slum_King, for doing loads of testing for me and giving great feedback
The MILF modding group, for being a super friendly sounding board as I developed this mod and annoyed them all with the progress!
Ari, Collete, Raccoon, Svbtext, Mx3, Tyrian, and the rest of those peeps!

TRAVELER IS DISCONTINUED:
I am focusing on other projects for the foreseeable future, and Traveler’s unfixed bugs are growing, so it’s time to discontinue. I may come back in the future, but for now updates will cease. The last officially supported SPT version was 3.7.1.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR SUPPORT IN THE DISCORD IF YOU ARE RUNNING TRAVELER (or any other outdated mods..)

Give it any license you like, crediting me would be appreciated but is not mandatory!
If you are updating from a previous Traveler version, make sure you OVERWRITE the previous version. Do not delete the Traveler folder in your user/mods folder or you will lose your extra stashes and hideouts.
Added config editing documentation:
This should be helpful for all of you who have wanted to change up where things are, or even completely overhaul the map pathing!
-Fixed issue where vents would not be visible at secondary hideout locations

Please be aware that any previous Traveler profiles will not function with this version. It is highly recommended to start a completely fresh profile to play with this mod.
LICENSE:
-
Traveler has gone from being unlicensed to using the license below
-
you may consider this explicit permission to do whatever you want with any Traveler versions prior to this one. If you are interested in iterating on or otherwise doing something with Traveler versions 1.1.0 and forward that is prohibited by the license (redistributing an edited version, using it in a modpack, etc.) please reach out to me first. There’s a very high percent chance that I will be okay with it.
NEW FEATURES:
- Updated map routing to support the Streets expansion.
- Old underpass extract is now connected to Expo Checkpoint
- Old Evac Zone extract is now connected to Crash Site
- Download includes an updated map image, be sure to take a look if you want to see the differences!
- The config looks a little different now and should be a tad easier to read in some cases. (more improvements to that will hopefully be coming soon)
- Any stash that is upgradable (by default all stashes at every trader) can now be upgraded separately from each other. A stash size will match the stash hideout station at that location. Interchange Safe Room and Customs ZB-13 will now have static stashes that can’t be upgraded (although they are pretty big still). Check the stash section of the config if you would like to change these settings.
- Any trader can now be a medic, allowing post-death healing from them at those locations. By default only Therapist and Jaeger are medics, but this can be changed in the config if you prefer.
REMOVED FEATURE:
- I found the durability mechanic on the Marked Letter to be very inconsistent. Sometimes durability would properly lower on death, sometimes it would not. I also found that I prefer to play with it being a permanent item anyway, so I scrapped that feature. The Marked Letter now has no durability.
Other Misc. Changes:
- Switched to DrakiaXYZ’s version agnostic version of the PTT-Extracts plugin (Thank you, Drakia!)
- New PTT-Extracts plugin source: https://github.com/DrakiaXYZ/SPT-PTT-Extracts
- Various backend code cleanup things (it’s spaghetti in there, don’t tell BSG or they may try and hire me LOL)

I borked the directories on the 1.1.0 update, this fixes that. You may have to delete some mod guts from your user/mods folder… sorry guys

SPT-3.6.0 update. No changes made to Traveler, Fontaine just updated the PTTExtracts.dll plugin to work with SPT-3.6.0 (thanks for doing that!).
If you have a customized version of Traveler installed on your 3.5.8 install, you can copy it to 3.6.0. Just make sure you replace the plugin with the updated one from this version.

This version will ONLY be compatible with SPT-AKI 3.5.7 and 3.5.8
*If using an SPT version older than shown above, replace PTTExtracts.dll file in BepInEx/plugins with one compatible with your version
If you are updating from a previous Traveler version, make sure you OVERWRITE the previous version. Do not delete the Traveler folder in your user/mods folder or you will lose your extra stashes/ hideouts.
Small update:
- Added “disable_out_of_raid_quest_stash” to config for you hardcore masochist folks (disabled by default). Thanks FullerK_55 for the idea! Setting it to true will disable your out of raid quest item stash. I’d recommend not enabling this if your profile currently has items in that stash.
- Removed some logging I left in by accident from previous update, and set the unlock level for the flea back to level 10 instead of 1.

Fixed bug causing Marked Letter to not lose durability, and OOR Quest Stash always being disabled.
Still note the update instructions/ info warnings on 1.0.4 version please.

Latest Version VirusTotal Result
@everyone: If you’re lookink for an open-world mod, I just released Path To Tarkov v5 that is compatible with the current latest SPT (3.9.3)
Damn I never got to try this mod out, I hope it comes back soon for our entertainment pleasure

BOnjour, serait ‘il possible d’avoir une mise a jour pour la version 3.8.0 ou 3.8.1 merci.
Here is a patch 3.8 :
https://www.reddit.com/r/SPTarkov/comments/1ce5665/patched_jehrees_traveller_mod_working_for_38/
RIP good work
Why do all the good mods have to go?!
Hello, now that the mods are available on version SPT 3.8.0 Bleeding edge, I tried to test Jehree’s traveler mod worked on this version, but there are so many changes in the structure of this version that the mod no longer starts the game and will no longer work on SPT version 3.8.0
Do you know if anyone is taking over the project to make it work on version SPT 3.8? Too bad Traveler was a really great mod for SPT. THANKS
I would love for someone to upload this to 3.7.6 and fix the account issue..
this is one of the best ways to change the game feel in a long time, and I miss it. Feels like playing Stalker.
Also would not mind if whoever picked this up changed some of the map connections around, some of these don’t make any sense and makes travel quite a challenge.
Regarding the error code “639199277a9178252d38c98f” occurring when exiting the raid, is there any way to stop this except for not unlocking the Defective Wall at all? Because every time I unlock the Defective Wall in any hideout, it’s almost certain this error will happen. It’s not like I need the Gym; I can train easily by just playing the game. However, it’s still annoying that I can’t unlock my hideout fully.
how can I make a start with ZB 1011, as in path to tarkov?
