Guerrilla Boss of the Wilderness
Partisan
A hunter who was setting traps for you before the raid started
Partisan is an old guerrilla fighter who treats the forests and back roads of Tarkov as his personal hunting ground. He appears across multiple maps, and unlike every other boss, the fight often starts before you ever see him, when you hit one of his tripwire traps.
He plays exactly like what he is: a lone hunter. He ambushes, relocates, and picks fights only on his terms. There is no entourage to warn you and no fixed territory to avoid.
He is one of the newer additions to Tarkov's boss roster and one of the most unpredictable, which keeps even experienced players honest on his maps.
Where Partisan Spawns
Spawn chances come live from the tarkov.dev API and update as the game changes.
