Metro Exodus Guide

Brave Nuke World The guide to Metro Exodus is a compendium of knowledge about this post-apocalyptic shooter game. Here you will find an exact walkthrough, a description of all available side quests and a full list of achievements.

Last update: 25 January 2022

The guide to Metro Exodus uncovers all the secrets of the game by 4A Games. In our guide, you will find practical tips, information and hints that will help you to get to know the mechanics and complete 100% of the game. The tutorial mainly consists of a very detailed walkthrough of the game, which explains exactly how to score the next objectives of the mission, how to sneak properly, and how to deal effectively with monsters. In the solution, we explain important choices that can affect the course of the gameplay and the ending. You will learn how to unlock all endings and how to make all the crew members survive.

In the game guide to Metro Exodus, we dedicated a lot of attention to collectibles. The collectibles section contains high-quality maps along with information on the location of all the secrets, which include hideouts, workshops, diaries, postcards, improvements and places of interest.

Another important chapter of the guide is the FAQ, or frequently asked questions. You'll learn answers to questions like how does the system of morality in the game work, can the main character die how to save all characters, how to get mask filters how to clean guns, how to open a locked door, or how to change the time of day. Then, we also have the game guide, in which, in addition to the extensive tips for beginners, you will also find separate pages about the battles and weapons available in the game.

The guide is complemented by smaller pages and chapters, among which you will find a trophy guide, system requirements , or the page about the length of Metro Exodus.

In addition to pages related to the main campaign of Metro Exodus, this guide also contains separate chapters on the two story expansions- The Two Colonels and Sam's Story. For each of these expansions, we have prepared a walkthrough, information about additional collectibles, and tips on how to get DLC achievements.

Metro Exodus: Tips for beginners

In general, try to avoid combat. Staying realistic about the point in getting dragged into a fight is important as it allows you to save the very limited provisions and also your life. You should only decide to rid an area of enemies if the location is suitable for looting.

Some characters may die. Make sure to follow our walkthrough closely, and also to sneak as much as possible. This will increase the chances that the given ally will reach the end of the adventure alive.

The system of "invisible karma" returns in Exodus. In short, it works by awarding positive or negative points for specific actions. For example, if you do not want to get bad karma, avoid killing opponents who have voluntarily surrendered.

Clean your weapons regularly. Weapons in poor condition perform badly. You can clean weapons in workshops found in the game world.

Some tasks are easier to complete at a certain time of the day. The game allows you to wait and, for example, sneak into a given location after dark, when avoiding detection might be a lot easier.

Exploration of the map can lead to many valuable discoveries. You can not only find various collectibles, but also supplies and items that will be useful for improving equipment. This may be particularly relevant on higher levels of difficulty, where the problem of shortages in provisions and ammo is more acute.

Sniper weapons come in handy on open maps. Some locations in the game world are quite large, which is a start contrast to the suffocating, sealed locations from previous games. Thanks to the sniper rifle, you will be able to effectively get rid of distant targets.

More detailed tips and tricks, as well as tips on subjects other than those listed above, are available at Tips for beginners.
