    The Interchange map is one of the most profitable maps for players to gain loot and supplies in Escape From Tarkov.

    However, its intricate layout and overwhelming size can be quite stressful to manage for new and veteran players alike. Here’s a complete guide on how to navigate it.

    The Interchange Map – What To Expect

    The map is fashioned around an “Ultra” Mall in its center that is maze-like to shift through while being surrounded by several key locations such as the Scav Camp, the Power Plant, and the Railway.

    It is precisely for this reason that we’ve made this Complete Map guide for Interchange which arms new players with the basic information they need to hit the ground running, and highlights the various intricacies that Pro players need to maximize their profits from this raid. 

    Basic Layout of Interchange Map

    The Ultra Mall has three essential floors. There are the first and second floors and the basement.

    There are also internal divisions within the mall that cut out four separate sections. 

    1. The first section is of the Main Shopping Centre
    2. The second section is of the IDEA store 
    3. The third section is of the OLI store
    4. And the fourth section is of the Goshan store

    All Useable Keys

    There are a total of 9 keys that are usable within the interchange map which can open up all the Exits and all of the registers found within the Interchange map. 

    all useable keys in interchange

    1. Goshan Key

    You can find this key in the Customs raid map. The key can be found on a seat in a bus located at the back of the Gas Station. 

    2. Emercom Key

    This key can be found on the Customs raid map as well. It is found within an Ambulance in front of the Gas Station.

    3. OLI Logistics Key 

    This key is located within the Customs raid map. This key can be found by popping the trunk of a blue car near the factory. 

    4. OLI Office Key

    This key can be located on the Shoreline raid map. This key can be found in Room 322 in the Eastern Wing.  

    5. OLI Register Key

    This key can be found within the Interchange raid map. This key is located in the OLI offices in a room with the door already open. 

    6. Power Utility Key 

    This key is located in the raid map called Factory. It can be found near the Forklift spawn within a row of blue lockers. 

    7. IDEA Register Key 

    Can be found in the Interchange raid map. The key is located on a bus to the left side of the IDEA mall complex. 

    8. KIBA 2 Key

    Can be found in the Interchange map. It can be received as a reward for completing the final Gunsmith task

    9. KIBA 1 Key

    Can be found in the Interchange map. Can be found within Scav backpacks. 

    Primary Spawn Locations in Interchange

    There are 9 spawn locations that exist on the Interchange map. A word of advice for all new players would be to try and dash into the Ultra mall as soon as possible because otherwise, you will be a sitting duck for spawn campers. 

    Most Dangerous Spawn Locations

    1. South West Corner Spawn
    2. South East Corner Spawn or the Emercom Checkpoint Spawn 

    Easiest Spawn Locations

    1. Service Road Spawn
    2. South East Ramp Spawn 

    All Extraction Points within Interchange 

    1. Emercom Extract 

    Stand next to the military tents that can be found towards the South East Corner of the map. Near the tents will be a large truck that will act as your extract. 

    2. Hole in Fence

    There is a requirement for this Extract, which is that you cannot be using a backpack. It can be found on the road connecting Emercom and the Power Plant. 

    3. Railway Extract

    An important tip for this extract would be to not let your guard down as you approach. The Railway can be found between the southwest corner and the end of a long rail track.

    4. Power Station Extract 

    This is a single-use extract and costs three thousand roubles per player to utilize. A total of four players can use this extract. The sign for if this will be active would be an audible engine. 

    5. Scav Camp

    You can find this extract near some military tents and various cargo containers along the east wall. However, this extract requires that you bring a friendly Scav along with you. 

    6. Saferoom Extract 

    Unlike the other extracts, the safe room is quite complex. It is a single-use exit and you need to first turn on the power for the Ultra mall at the power station and then seek out a control panel in the Burger Spot.

    After swiping the Object #11SR keycard you’ll be able to access a secret safe room in the underground parking area. The extract can be found there.

    Important Locations on The Interchange Map

    There is quite a bit of detail that should not be glossed over when going through Interchange, specifically the various available loot in each spot. 

    1. Power Station 

    This location can be found in the area that is to the northeast of the IDEA store connected to the Ultra Mall. This spot is particularly important to fully explore because of the loot available which includes:

    2. Numerous Jackets can be found, along with a File Cabinet and four PC blocks Inside the Station’s office
