And exploring the environments you find yourself in – whether that’s the larger, open world-style areas, or the more traditional Metro linear levels – is always advisable. Sure, there are times when that might not be possible, either because the shootouts might be scripted, or because you were unfortunately left with no other option, but if you can help it, use stealth whenever and wherever possible.Įxploration hasn’t ever been much of a focus in Metro, but in Exodus, for obvious reasons, it is. Ammo is in short supply in Exodus, as are health items (which you have to craft), so getting into shootouts is something you should avoid whenever possible. This follows on from some of the previous points, and sure, for many it would go without saying- but it cannot be stressed enough. In fact, as a rule, if there’s any weapon that you’re not picking up for yourself, dismantle it- every single one. This gives you tools and modifications that you can use to customize your weapons, and comes in very handy. Sure, pick up the ones that you feel like you need, or the varieties that you might not have in your arsenal, but often, it’s a better idea to dismantle enemies. But unlike most other shooters, you shouldn’t go swapping out your gun with these new, dropped weapons with too much frequency. It goes without saying that those things, which are in short supply in Exodus, are absolutely priceless.ĭead enemies also drop weapons, of course (those that were carrying weapons, at any rate). Doing so is also quite valuable, because looting dead enemies can net you crafting components and bullets. Monsters and mutants might not drop loot, but human enemies you run across – who can belong to different factions, depending on what area you’re in – are enemies that are quite tempting to kill. Which brings us to our next point, actually…
Killing them is also, essentially, a waste of your ammo, since they don’t drop any valuable loot either. So chart your courses carefully, and if you see groups of monsters in the distance, try and avoid them if you can. Given its vast open levels though, and the fact that these are often crawling with deadly enemies and monsters, doing so can be easier said than done. So experiment with customization as much as possible, find the weapons that suit you best, and keep changing things around depending on whatever situation you find yourself in.ĪVOID MONSTERS IN THE OPEN WORLD WHENEVER POSSIBLEĬonservation of resources and ammo is very important in Exodus, just as it was in its predecessors. Using the right tools and components, you can completely alter the basic nature and look of a weapon- turning a tiny pistol into a veritable sniper rifle is entirely possible in Exodus. What’s more impressive, though, is just how extensive and robust the customization options are. For starters, you can do it on the fly and very quickly, wherever and whenever you want. What is new is how much it has been expanded. Speaking of weapon components- customization of weapons isn’t exactly new in Metro Exodus. MAKE FULL USE OF THE EXTENSIVE WEAPONS CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM Often, completing these optional activities can net you with valuable new resources or weapon components, or at times even crucial items that would make life a lot easier for you (such as night vision goggles). More importantly, though, doing these side quests is usually well worth the effort. A character might tell you about something interesting, that area will get marked on the map Artyom carries around, and that’s it- you can pay as much attention to that as you want. Firstly, because unlike most other games, Metro doesn’t direct you towards side missions with quest prompts, or HUD markers, or an exclamation mark on your compass, telling you to go to a particular area. “Don’t ignore side missions” is something that you can say pretty much for any game that has side missions or an open ended level design, but in Metro Exodus, it applies much more. Here, we’ll be taking a look at fifteen basic things you should keep in mind as you dive into the game, which will help newcomers get to grips with the game more quickly, but should also hopefully help returning series fans understand some of the many new additions the game makes a little better. Given that it’s also much more open ended, however, there’s also a lot of new stuff going on in here. The post-nuclear remains of Russia are a harsh and brutal setting, and much like its predecessors, Metro Exodus is a game that pushes its players to the limit. 4A Games’ post-apocalyptic, atmospheric shooter series, Metro, is back, with what is the most ambitious game the Ukranian studio has made to date.
