Competitive extraction hidden gems

These competitive extraction hidden gems put you in tense raids where you carry your own loadout, gather supplies and face rival squads on the way to the exit. Marathon, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Escape from Tarkov show the pattern well: track targets or strip maps clean, then decide when to fight and when to run so you keep what you hold.
