Games and Esports Articles
The landmark Escape from Tarkov 1.0 release introduced comprehensive map updates alongside the much-anticipated storyline completion. Interchange stands out as your initial destination following tutorial missions, making extraction knowledge absolutely critical for survival. This definitive guide provides exhaustive coverage of every extraction point available after the 1.0 overhaul, including strategic insights that could mean the difference between successful extraction and devastating gear loss.
Understanding extraction mechanics becomes particularly important when considering how class selection strategies in similar tactical shooters, where exit planning often determines mission success rates.
PMC extracts on Escape from Tarkov Interchange map after 1.0
Emercom Checkpoint
While the Emercom Checkpoint extraction point itself remains functionally unchanged post-1.0, the surrounding terrain to its left has undergone substantial expansion, creating new tactical considerations. Veteran players should exercise extreme caution approaching this extract due to significantly increased ambush potential in the newly developed bush-covered areas. Pro tip: Approach from the highway side using the concrete barriers for cover rather than the open parking lot approach.
Railway Exfil
Similar to Emercom, the Railway extraction point maintains its core functionality but now features expanded surrounding terrain that demands revised navigation strategies. The additional space creates more potential sniper positions, so consider using smoke grenades when crossing the final open areas before extraction.
Power Station V-Ex
This vehicle extraction point requires ruble payment with costs scaling according to your Scav karma, potentially reaching 20,000 rubles at higher reputation levels. Critical planning note: The vehicle doesn’t spawn in every raid and has only initial spawn chance – if another player utilizes it first, the extract becomes permanently unavailable for that raid duration.
Smugglers’ Tunnel (Flare Extract)
As a completely new extraction addition in 1.0, Smugglers’ Tunnel demands specific preparation and navigation. From the mall’s exterior parking lot, you must cross the highway, navigate across the railroad tracks, and ascend the hill to locate the Scav camp where extraction initiates. This green flare-activated extract provides in-game notification when you reach the correct zone – ensure you carry the appropriate flare type before attempting this route.
Scav Camp (Co-Op Extraction)
This unique extraction method requires simultaneous presence of both PMC and Scav players within the activation zone. Located beneath Goshan in previously flooded areas now accessible post-1.0, navigate down two escalator levels following the illuminated “Exit” signage. This cooperative mechanic introduces fascinating gameplay dynamics reminiscent of Complete Guide teamplay principles.
Saferoom Exfil
Operating as a keycard-restricted extraction point, Saferoom Exfil demands both power activation and possession of the Object #11SR keycard. Use the keycard at Burger Spot’s restroom facility to unlock basement access – similar to how Weapons Unlock systems function in other tactical shooters with progression-based access mechanics.
Mastering Interchange Extraction Tactics
Successful extraction requires more than just knowing locations – it demands strategic timing and situational awareness. Avoid rushing to extracts during the first 10 minutes of raids when camper activity peaks. Instead, utilize the middle phase when most players are looting interior areas. Always have at least two potential extracts identified based on your spawn location and current objective completion status.
Common extraction mistakes include approaching too directly without proper reconnaissance, failing to account for audio cues from nearby players, and inadequate preparation for conditional extracts like the Power Station V-Ex.
Advanced players should memorize spawn timings for conditional extracts and always carry backup extraction items like flares and sufficient rubles. The expanded areas around traditional extracts like Emercom and Railway now require more sophisticated approach patterns using available cover and concealment.

While comprehensive detailed maps of the updated Interchange remain in development, several revised versions of previous maps provide adequate navigation assistance. The accompanying reference chart illustrates extraction point locations based on these updated cartographic resources.
Action Checklist
- Identify your nearest two extraction points immediately upon spawn
- Ensure you carry at least 20,000 rubles for vehicle extracts
- Activate power station early if planning to use Saferoom Exfil
- Approach extracts during mid-raid (15-25 minute mark) to avoid campers
- Use concealment and audio cues to detect potential extract ambushes
