Every weapon in the game can be outfitted with a variety of barrels, stocks, optics, magazines, and laser sights. Artyom carries with him a backpack that is used to change weapon attachments and to craft simple items. In his travels, Artyom encounters human and mutant enemies that can be engaged loudly or stealthily. While exploring, players must be mindful of their supply of ammunition, healing supplies, and other items like air filters and throwables. Much like the previous two games, Metro Exodus has a strong emphasis on survival mechanics. The Spartans discuss returning to the metro to reveal this truth to its residents, but believing that Hansa will have them executed for what they've done, decide the only course of action is to proceed towards the Ark, where the last remnants of Russia's government is believed to be holed up.


According to Miller, the war that destroyed the world is still ongoing, justifying the jammers as a way to isolate and protect Moscow. Miller reveals he knew about the radio jammers. With the help of Yermak, himself a disillusioned Hansa resident, Artyom and Anna escape aboard the train and are nearly captured again when Colonel Miller and his Spartans intercept and save them. During their escape, the two accidentally disable a radio jammer that had secretly been blocking outside broadcasts from reaching Moscow, causing a flood of messages from around the world to pour in. On one such excursion, Artyom and his wife Anna witness a train traveling along a railway and are apprehended by soldiers from Hansa, one of the major metro civilizations and an adversary of the Spartan Order to which the two belong. He begins hearing faint signals, but is unable to clearly receive the messages. Storyįollowing the events of Metro: Last Light, Artyom becomes disillusioned with the political and social structures in the metro system and beings making regular excursions to the surface with a radio to search for outside broadcasts from other survivors. Unlike the two games before it, Metro Exodus features more of an open-world structure across several different areas. Metro Exodus is a post-apocalypse survival-based first-person shooter and is the third entry in the Metro series.
