Icebreaker
3D Late-GameA nuclear-powered icebreaker trapped in Tarkov's blockade — late-game access only, guarded by the mysterious Black Division.
Map
Features & Notes
- Initially only accessible by transiting from Shoreline (at the pier) after unlocking it in the story chapter Boreas, for 400,000 Roubles.
- Direct access from the location select screen unlocks after completing the questline Stick to It — the 400,000 Rouble fee still applies either way.
- The number of enemies scales with the number of players in the raid.
- Insurance does not apply: insured items lost here are never returned, even after the usual insurance timer.
Key Items
Bosses
The Wedge
100% Spawn 880 HPOn level 3, in the gym
Newer Black Division faction leader. Follower count scales with squad size (3 with 1 player, 4 with 2, 6 with 3) — expect a bigger fight in a full group. Exploit chokepoints and manage the guard group methodically rather than pushing his position directly.
Followers: 3–6 Black Division guards (scales with raid squad size)
Knight
On level 0
A one-off Icebreaker appearance — guarded here by 2 Rogues instead of his usual Goons squad (Big Pipe/Birdeye), which don't appear on this map. Treat him as a standalone encounter rather than expecting the full 3-boss Goons fight.
Followers: 2 Rogue guards
