The initial minibus you’ll need to mark is positioned within the storage container area adjacent to the OLI side of the ULTRA mall. Upon entering this lot, you will easily spot a yellow minibus.

Approach the minibus and use your MS2000 Marker to tag it, then move on to find the next one.

Second Minibus Location on Interchange

The second minibus is situated in the underground parking lot of the ULTRA mall. If you’re coming from the first bus, it will be on your right side, near the Safe Room Exfil. Like the first minibus, it is also yellow and easily recognizable.

If you are already within the mall, navigate to the hole in the ground located near Avokado. After entering the basement, take an immediate left turn, and the bus will be visible in front of the Safe Room Exfil entrance. Remember to mark it with your MS2000 Marker before proceeding.

Third Minibus Location on Interchange

Once you’ve found the second minibus, locating the third will be quite simple. From the position of the second minibus outside the Safe Room Exfil, head toward the hole in the ground and pass by it. Immediately to your left after the hole, continue walking for a short distance to spot the third bus. Mark it with an MS2000 Marker to complete the first three objectives of your quest.

For the final task, you must successfully extract as a PMC from Interchange.
