Why You Should Always Play Interchange at Night
Interchange has always been a problematic map to play on for many years now. At least in my own personal experiences. What boils down to a larger factory with an outside section, only having one primary point of interest, is going to create some problems. Awful spawns, poor distribution of loot, and limited extracts plague this map. My hope is soon, BSG decide that Interchange is the next map to get some updates. Whether that’s on the level of a factory style expansion, or something closer to what Shoreline got this wipe, the mall is a challenging map for reasons that go beyond the difficulty of learning the layout. However, overtime, I personally have begun to figure out ways to make playing on this map far less annoying than it normally might be. Granted, these don’t always work and should be taken with a grain of salt, because there are lots of factors that will go into your experience on Interchange, or really any map in the game to be honest. But the single largest adjustment that I have made is playing Interchange at night. And when I say nighttime, I mean in-game night. So usually after 20:00 or 8pm. The experience feels like a night and day difference, no pun intended, in how frequently you will come across PMCs, scavs, and anything trying to stop you from getting your tasks done; whatever they might be. So, let’s go over Interchange, how playing at night makes a difference, and why you should also consider making the change yourself.
