Bosses on This Map
Interchange is a huge shopping mall and the ground around it. A raid lasts 40 minutes, the map holds 11 to 15 players and there are six extracts. Loot sits inside the stores, so almost every fight happens in close quarters.
Killa and Tagilla Spawn Zones
Killa spawns at a 45 percent rate and has 890 total health. His spawn zones are Center, OLI, IDEA and Goshan, which are exactly the stores worth looting. He has no escorts and moves alone.
Tagilla also comes to this map at a 25 percent rate. He closes with the hammer, so meeting him in a narrow store corridor usually ends the raid for you.
Both can appear in the same raid. Telling them apart by sound is useful: Killa fires in long bursts, Tagilla simply runs at you.
How to Kill Killa
Killa wears a 6B13 M assault armor with Granit 4 plates and a Maska 1SCh helmet with face shield. If your ammo cannot defeat his armor, aim for the legs: the 6B13 only covers the thorax and stomach, and each leg carries 120 health. Do not meet him in an open corridor, peeking from cover and backing off works far better.
For his full gear list, the approach tactic for his spawn zones and the drop rates from his pockets, see the Killa guide.
Loot Zones
Kiba Arms holds the best weapon loot on the map and needs two separate keys: the Kiba Arms outer door key and the Kiba Arms inner grate door key.
The OLI, IDEA, Goshan and Techlight sections are rich in electronics and valuables. They are also Killa spawn zones, so loot and risk sit on top of each other.
Cash registers are quiet, reliable income. Goshan has 32 locked registers, IDEA has 24 and OLI has 18, and each store opens with a single key.
Turning on the power lights the stores and improves loot quality. In return, everyone who hears it knows you are inside.
Extracts
Three of the six extracts are PMC only: Power Station V-Ex, Hole in the Fence and Saferoom Exfil. The other three are shared: Emercom Checkpoint, Railway Exfil and Scav Camp Co-Op. There is no Scav only extract.
Emercom and Power Station open away from the mall and stay calmer than the main exits. Do not spend the last minutes of a raid inside the mall, because everyone heading out uses the same corridors.
Quest Route
35 quests have objectives here and 23 of them are required for Kappa. The first one unlocks at level 2 and the median of the list is level 26.
13 of those quests come from Ragman. Pick his list up before you enter the mall and you can close several of them in a single raid. Only four quests need a key, so you can push most of the route without buying any.
