Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the Interchange via the Wyndham Village entrance.
  2. 2
    Head left and crawl under a shutter to find the initial area leading to Data Store Alpha.
  3. 3
    Go down the stairs and be aware of Infection Spores. If you have Infection Resistance and restoratives, you can run to the console to place an Atomic Battery. Shoot explosive plants from a distance first. This will activate fans in the upper part of the building.

  5. 5
    Look for the locked door on the northern wall.
  6. 6
    Standing just outside this door, shoot the explosive plant near it.
  7. 7
    Ensure you are at full health. Run towards the door, turn right, and look in the corner to find a body. Loot the body for the 'Data Store A Store Room Key'.
  8. 8
    Quickly open the nearby door.
  9. 9
    Immediately sprint back out of the Infection zone as Infected spiders will swarm out of the opened door.
  10. 10
    Use an item like a Molotov Cocktail to clear the spiders.
  11. 11
    Enter the room and claim the loot from the B.A.R.D. crate.
