Boss guide
🧠 Kaban overview
Kaban is the Streets of Tarkov boss and a heavily armoured territorial controller. He is usually protected by armed guards and is dangerous in the cramped, multi-level environment around him.
📍 Encounter area
Expect him around the LexOs / Streets boss zone and its surrounding buildings. His group controls approaches, windows, roofs, and cover positions.
⚠️ Main threats
• Very high durability and armour
• Multiple guards with overlapping sight lines
• Grenades, machine-gun fire, and close urban angles
🎯 Fighting strategy
1. Scout the area from range before entering.
2. Remove exposed guards one by one; rushing Kaban's position creates crossfire.
3. Use grenades to make defenders leave cover.
4. Keep an escape route and rotate through buildings instead of repeating the same street-level push.
5. Coordinate roles in a squad: one watches the boss, another watches flanks and reinforcements.
💀 Loot
The group can provide valuable weapons, armour, ammunition, and equipment. Reaching the bodies safely is often harder than winning the first fight.
