In large majority of cases, the enemies that you encounter are not aware of Artyoms presence - Fighting and avoiding people | Valuable Hints - Valuable Hints - Metro: Last Light Game Guide

In large majority of cases, the enemies that you encounter are not aware of Artyom's presence. Therefore, they are not prepared for your arrival. This state of affairs encourages you to play in the shadows, which consists in avoiding or eliminating the enemies without raising alarm.

If you are not averse to killing the enemies, I personally recommend a suppressed weapon or throwing knives, especially that the knives can, later on, be retrieved from the corpses. If you are not going to kill anybody, you can still avoid the guards or, keep knocking them out in melee (make sure though, that you press the button for knocking out, and not for a silent execution with the knife). Personally, I prefer the latter because, you will be able to explore the area undisturbed, or search the guard (regardless of whether he is unconscious or dead).

It is not especially difficult to remain in shadows in Metro: Last Light - Fighting and avoiding people | Valuable Hints - Valuable Hints - Metro: Last Light Game Guide

It is not especially difficult to remain in shadows in Metro: Last Light. Still, it is a good idea to remember about several things. The most important thing is to stay out of light and here, you can make use of Artyom's watch, which tells you if you are in hiding, or you are in full light (blue light on). You can also destroy sources of light, and a suppressed pistol is the best for this job. You only need to make sure if there is no guard next to the source of light because, destroying a source of light might alert him. In such a situation, it is better to approach such a source of light (if possible) and turn it off, or blow it off. It is worth mentioning here, that further in the game, the guards come equipped with their own torchlights. Do not attempt to destroy them, of course. A way better idea is to get such guards from behind.

Another important issue, when it comes to sneaking, is that you shouldn't leave the bodies of the knocked out/killed guards out in the open, where they could be easily spotted. Because Artyom is not able to carry bodies, the best idea is to wait for individual guards to walk away from their group and then to attack them from shadows.

Some time into the game, you will have to take part in direct fights with the enemy units - Fighting and avoiding people | Valuable Hints - Valuable Hints - Metro: Last Light Game Guide

Some time into the game, you will have to take part in direct fights with the enemy units. What is most important in such situations is the ability to take cove effectively, to avoid taking too much damage. While caught in fire exchange, you need to remember to use the kind of weapon that is most effective at a given range. Therefore, you should be selecting which weapon to use, depending on whether it is a long range (machine guns) or medium range (shotguns) fight. At the same time, try and aim at the heads of your enemies, which will save you ammo and time while eliminating the threat. Apart from firearms, it is also a good idea to make use of grenades frequently, especially if you notice a larger group of enemies taking cover, and they do not plan to charge at Artyom.
