Luckily, Interchange is a hotbed for Scavs. There are so many areas that have some dense Scav spawns. There are some occasions where they spawn too many, and you might get overwhelmed. But you want to know that Scav’s spawn rates can fluctuate.
The general mechanic to know is that if you go to an area that didn’t spawn any Scavs, they could’ve spawned somewhere else on the map, and other players might have gotten to them. Eventually, you’ll have to wait a few minutes while in the raid to let them spawn again. Nevertheless, you want to hit the hotspots for all the Scav spawns constantly.
Here are some of the hottest places for Scavs in Interchange:
Going around these areas will surely find you three or more Scavs per location, as long as the Scavs did spawn in that location. Pay attention to the dead bodies, as some PMCs might have already gotten them. You can also have some fun and use a GL40 oran under-barrel grenade launcherwhile finishing off the Scavs. Our guide on thefastest way to make money in Escape from Tarkov 0.15 patchalso revolves around Interchange, so you can also do that while finishing the Decontamination Service quest.
