This page assumes you have played Metro 2033 and will have unmarked spoilers for that game.Metro Last Light is a First-Person Shooter video game developed by 4A Games, the second game in the Metro series.Roughly a year after the events of the first game, Artyom, now a full-fledged Ranger, is suffering nightmares from his decision to destroy the Dark Ones and is called out to track down and kill a lone survivor. Meanwhile, rumours about the D6 bunker, a treasure trove of weapons, food and medicine, uncovered during the events of the previous game and now being controlled by the Rangers are surfacing in the Metro. Both the Red Line and the Reich are plotting against the Order and plan to take everything for themselves.Rather than the quite ethereal and spiritual plot of the first one, the story of Last Light is a bit more down-to-earth and political, dealing with espionage and warring factions, although supernatural experiences are still at large.The game is a First-Person Shooter with Survival Horror elements continuing the canon story of Metro 2033, and was released in May 2013 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC. The game was also later released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, released with 2033 as the "Metro Bundle". The game also made it to Mac and Linux systems a few months after its initial release. 4A Games have admitted that they'd like to bring their games to other operating systems in the future.Although the Metro 2033 novel had a sequel, Metro 2034, Last Light is not an adaptation of that novel.The official website can be found here: Enter The Metro.A sequel called Metro Exodus was released in February 2019. | |

Hotter and Sexier: Compared to the first game, which only had one "sexy lady" in it, who was actually Schmuck Bait for a mugging. Here there are strippers, a semi-nude lap dance, and part of a first-person sex scene (similar to Far Cry 3). | |

Gatling Good: One is available at the last section of the game, the Heavy Squad DLC, and the end of the Tower Pack DLC. Interestingly, the shooting gallery in the Developer Pack shows that by default the rotation is powered by a hand-cranked spring, and it's only a motorized attachment that allows it to spin indefinitely. | |

Heroic Mime: Zig-zagged with Artyom, just as before. He does narrate in the level loading screens and the pre-rendered cutscenes, but never speaks in the game proper. He also speaks to characters in the game, but it's always offscreen, and whenever the player actually gains control the conversation has always just ended and Artyom is silent again. | |

Multiple Endings | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Like the first game, the ending depends on the player's choice between understanding/aggression and forgiveness/retribution: Bittersweet Ending: In the "sacrifice" ending, Artyom detonates D6, sacrificing the remaining Spartans and D6 to wipe out the Soviets and prevent the supervirus landing in the wrong hands. The ending shows Anna telling Artyom's story to their child. Earn Your Happy Ending: The Dark One child thwarts the Soviet assault on D6, saving Artyom and the Spartans. Artyom then considers the Dark One child the "Last Light" of hope for humanity. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: Downplayed. The game can be played in Ranger mode (emphasises survival horror) or Spartan mode (emphasises action). Spartan mode isn't exactly easy, but it is less challenging than Ranger mode. Finishing the game in Ranger mode gets a gold Trophy or 50G, Finishing In Spartan mode gets a silver Trophy or 40G. | |

The Order | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_1c169242 | comment |
The first couple of levels show that Artyom is acknowledged as the savior of the Metro and has been a Ranger for several months, but it seems he's still considered to not have "made his bones" among the Rangers. He's also given the rather embarrassing callsign of "Rabbit" and is mocked by Anna. Overheard dialogue from other Rangers suggest that most of them spend at least a couple years as "cadets" before being made full members of The Order, so their derision might be because Artyom did not have to go through that trial phase like the rest of them. | |

Heavily Armored Mook | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_1d364dbd | comment |
Heavily Armored Mook: One of the new enemies introduced are human soldiers wearing heavy metal armor (they usually show up if you trigger an alarm). They can take a lot of hits (Depending on the difficulty setting), and while the armor does slow them down a bit they're still fairly manueverable. And just like in the first game, they are still only human, so a single bullet to the neck kills them off for good. In the final battle, Artyom gets a heavy armor suit of his own. | |

Diabolus ex Machina | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_1e1aa82a | comment |
As noted under Diabolus ex Machina, this may also have had something to do with the Guide Dang It! requirements of the "good" ending of the first game. It was entirely possible for Artyom to make all of the "good" choices presented in the narrative (not stiffing an unarmed little boy who helped him, turning down a reward for finding a missing child, etc.) and still not accrue enough "morality points" to get the good ending. | |

Punch-Clock Villain: Like in the first game most of the Red and Nazi soldiers are forcefully conscripted or chose to join to provide protection and sustenance for their families, or to avoid execution for noncompliance with constantly shifting skull measurements. One Reich soldier is considering running away because his child was born a mutant, another is being abused by this comrades, and some of the Red soldiers' banter indicates that they are clearly not in on General Korbut's plan, as when they show up to a Hansa controlled station that Korburt unleashed a virus on to give the Red Line a reason to invade it on the cover of quarantining it. A few of them are discuss how strange it is that they were able to respond to the epidemic so quickly. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Some hostile humans are usually standing near a light source. If you're quick enough you can rush up to the light source, turn it off, then knock out the unsuspecting human before they know what hit them. If you find a breaker and shut the lights off for much of the area, they'll usually send one guy off to investigate, who will turn it back on if he doesn't notice you — however, if you knock him out/kill him, none of his comrades will wonder where he went and just stay where they are. Some roamers will have a flashlight on them however. Others will turn one on if they hear something, but again, if you're not noticed they'll just turn it off and write off whatever they heard as "fucking drafts". | |

Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: A couple. References are made to the shroom tea line of Exhibition from the 2033 novel in one of the Nazi stations. Theater station announcer claims that the Dark Ones' invasion of Exhibition was caused by a new untested mushroom moonshine recipe. Soldiers at the Revolution station talk about somebody wiping out both armies at the Frontline level in Metro 2033. In the good ending, Miller losses a leg and is confined to a wheelchair, much like in the 2034 novel | |

Verbal Tic: Pavel's "S-s-suka!" may or may not be this. Also, Pavel's "Tak-tak-tak-tak-tak!" and "Op-pa!" the 2 latter "tics" might be more due to how people speak Russian and some of its quirks. "tak" means yes, similar to repeating "ok ok ok", "oppa" is an exclamation, usually when a task is done, and the emphasis on syllable varies. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Just like in the first game, a few of the firearms have meaningful names in Russian slang. "Preved" rifle name is a distorted "Hello" and a russian meme. The "Abzats" shotgun's name is essentially the Russian equivalent of "FUBAR". "Tihar", the name of the air rifle, means "Silent one". "Shambler" is still named "Uboinik" in the Russian dub; it means "Killer". "Lolife" is called "Padonak" in a Russian dub (and has markings on the receiver indicating that regardless of the dub), which can also be translated as a "Chav", "Scumbag" or "White trash", all words that correspond rather nicely to "low-life". A tongue-in-cheek easter egg can be found in the Nightfall level. The mall ruins in the swamp that Artyom passes through on his way to the Church have a logo above the entrance that says "Rossiya Vperde", or "Russia is fucked". It is a distorted and misspelled slogan "Rossiya Vpered", translated as "Go Russia" or "Russia forward". A broken truck on the Bridge level has a slogan written on the side that says "До�тавка хрени к вам домой", which literaly means "Delivering crap to your home". The leader of a trade caravan that Artyom meets in Depot speaks perfect Ukrainian in the Russian dub, and his subtitles are not translated. | |

Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_2a195285 | comment |
Revolvers Are Just Better: The revolver and the Lolife semi-auto pistol share the same ammunition, but the revolver is somehow more powerful. note It isn't obvious in combat, but if you try them out on the shooting range in the Developer Room, the Lolife needs three shots to demolish a target, but the revolver only needs two. | |

Subverted later in the game at one point when you are being hunted by an enemy patrol sent out after you take out the train at Circus. They mention how you're not "just any Ranger", having recently took out an entire squad, with terrified survivors claiming you were an "animal". | |

Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_2b706ca | comment |
More Dakka: Several guns utilize this function. That said, it's not always a good idea to just "spray and pray", as you can burn through a lot of ammo quickly if you don't take careful, aimed shots at your targets. Especially on harder difficulties where ammo is scarce and you can't carry as much either. That said, the D6 level at the end of the game has a gatling gun, which is the only place it's available. You'll need its firepower too, because almost every enemy you face from that point on are heavily armored. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
The game is essentially this trope. You have a trench knife and a set of throwing knives while almost every weapon, including shotguns, has an optional silencer. On the other hand, you have an arsenal of grenades and mines, and can purchase such weapons as a heavy automatic shotgun if crawling around isn't your thing. | |

Cobweb Jungle | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_2d78cee0 | comment |
Cobweb Jungle: Anywhere the spiders make their nests, you will find the place covered in webs, with pulsating fleshy egg sacs that hatch if you get too close or shine a light on them. The webs can actually slow Artyom down, which is dangerous when he is being chased by Giant Spiders, but they can be cleared out with his lighter. Expect ambushes from freshly hatched spiders and those jumping from bolt-holes, and no sources of light except what you bring with you. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: The live action trailer, which has a soldier invoke this; while following the Civil Defence protocol to the letter and locking numerous civilians outside the safety of the Metro, a soldier spots a woman holding an infant, only for him to take the child and leave the mother to die in the incoming blast. One could even call the protocol an I Did What I Had to Do moment in that letting too many civilians into the Metro would overcrowd it to the point of it being unsustainable, especially when you consider that those civilians could and would procreate, adding even more mouths to feed. Or that the doors need to be closed eventually so that the people in the metro can be spared the nuclear blast. Another live-action trailer focuses on said soldier and the events from his perspective. During Revolution, one of the Communist soldiers will protest when his commander orders him to burn some rats (mistakingly believing he talks about refugees fleeing the Red Line due to the upcoming war). Secretary General Moskvin is a ruthless tyrant who beats and tortures prisoners and murdered his brother to gain power, but when Korbut proposes his plan for taking over the metro, Moskvin is seemingly appalled by the suggestion, asking if it is "worth the bloodshed". Moskvin only accepts when Korbut tells him there won't be any bloodshed | |

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Completely averted. Artyom wears a helmet for the entire game, except for a brief period in which your gear is lost — and when you get it back, the game makes a point of showing you putting the helmet back on. You even get to upgrade to a fancy full-face helmet when you get a suit of heavy armor for the final battle. | |

The Coconut Effect: Since the game is set in Russia, in universe you'd expect all the characters to be speaking Russian to one another. Instead they talk in heavily accented English, for the sake of Western players, even though the Translation Convention should make them unnecessary. Of course playing the game with Russian vocals and English subtitles and text is always an option. | |

Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The throwing knives. Reusable, silent, deadly, and extremely accurate, they make lethal stealth runs a cakewalk, even if they aren't very flashy. The basic revolver. Endlessly modifiable, good damage, and a (very quiet) silenced model is literally the first weapon you get after the game really starts, and some players are likely to carry that the whole game. Equally useful against mutants, humans, and your biggest threat — lightbulbs. Your basic AK will probably be your go-to weapon for much of the game, given its balance of attributes and how easy it is to find after the first few levels. Then there are the non-lethal takedowns. Not very flashy, but effective, hilarious, and one of the only self-defense measures besides fleeing that you have if you're going for a Pacifist Run. | |

Of note is that they're normally the size of an adult human, but certain specimens, known as Bog Shrimp, can reach double that size. One of the latter in particular serves as a boss during the mid-game section. | |

In the Redemption ending, the Dark Ones obliterate the Reds. Heavy Squad, hands down. When Hans and Diesel arrive to the frontline, the reds are obliterating the Reich infantry and are barely repulsed. After Hans gets the minigun out, however, the reds get the treatment twice over. | |

Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_41dee1c9 | comment |
Children Are Special: Unlike adults, children are unaffected by the psychic emanations of a Dark One, which is why Artyom was able to successfully establish contact with them, back when he was a child. The Dark One child is yet another example. Although his psychic powers are much weaker than those of a fully-grown Dark One, his powers don't cause nearby humans to go insane, and thanks to his smaller proportions, he can project an illusion that convincingly disguises him as a human child. These factors allow him to follow Artyom and pass through Polis station completely unnoticed. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture: Moskvin's method of interrogating Artyom basically amounts to beating the shit out of him. Averted with Korbut who says he prefers a more scientific method to interrogation and injects Artyom with a "truth serum" which causes him to have a vision of when he first met the Dark Ones as a child before waking up with Korbut giving orders to Major Pavel about the location of the Dark One child before passing out again. It's highly implied but never stated that the serum worked and Korbut was able to get information out of Artyom with it. | |

Ten minutes later, you fall unconscious and are taken prisoner by the Nazis, causing you to lose all of your weapons and forcing you to find new ones. Unless you play in Ranger mode, in which case the guns that you brought with you from Sparta will be on the weapon stand at the end of the Pavel (The enemy of my enemy) level. | |

Nor will they be surprised as why every lightbulb and lamp in the area is suddenly turned off or broken, being happy to just complain about faulty equipment, use their flashlights or sometimes checking the switchboard. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: Whereas the original video game followed the plot of the novel it was based on, the plot of the sequel is completely unrelated to the Metro 2034 novel. This is probably because Metro 2034 had very little to do with Metro 2033: while it does occur after the events of 2033, Artyom is not relevant and the story is set in a different location with a different main character. Metro 2035 further complicates things, as it seems to follow the events of the "Last Light", but only to a certain degree. | |

Sound-Coded for Your Convenience | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_457d9e88 | comment |
Sound-Coded for Your Convenience: The game has numerous sound-cues, which are useful on regular difficulty but direly important for Ranger mode and especially Ranger Hardcore: with your HUD completely removed, you'll rely on a clicking sound when you've picked up items, the sound of a knife drawing when you're in range for a takedown, and specific sound effects when selecting which throwable weapon you'll use. | |

Always Chaotic Evil: Subverted for the mutant beasts. Despite their hideous appearance and slavering behavior, they're really just wild animals trying to survive like any other, and while in some circumstances they will hunt you as a potential food source, at other times they won't always go out of their way to attack you and will only become hostile if you provoke them. | |

Improvised Weapon: Last Light sees the return of the metro-made weapons, and introduces many new ones, including a hand-held flamethrower, a bolt-action frankenrifle, a minigun as well as a flare gun modified to accept shotgun shells. The most extreme example is probably the "Bigun" from the Developer Pack DLC, a shotgun that is literally just a bunch of bicycle parts attached to some pipes that function as barrels. It even has a bicycle bell. | |

Averted. Last Light uses the Downer Ending of the previous game as canon, although it's left ambiguous if Artyom was the selfish bastard the player needed to be to get the bad ending, or just ignored all the signs that the Dark Ones were friendly and made a choice to kill them. | |

On the one hand, this is given more dramatic weight than all the times that you killed enemy Mooks. On the other, these two men are worth one point each on the Karma Meter, and listening to the right NPC conversations is also worth one point each. | |

This is justified when stripping dead bodies of their weapons, ammo, and supplies between stations as this is a Scavenger World and nothing should go to waste, but the player can also find a few rounds of ammunition or a spare filter lying about in inhabited stations and take them without anyone there noticing or objecting (although in a few instances where the object clearly belongs to a nearby NPC, this will net you a morality point loss, which is indicated by a brief reddish flash and a sharp sound.) | |

Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The fact that Artyom needs to look around and find his own diary entries. This mechanic was also backported to the Redux version of Metro 2033 Fridge Brilliance: You're not looking around to find his diary entries, you're finding paper for him to write them down. Some of the safes that can be looted to acquire various goods, particularly those in civilian areas. They're often located in places that make no sense (such as the one backstage at the theater show), and looting a safe in a civilian area doesn't draw any comment from nearby NPCs nor is it penalized by the game's morality system. Paying the stripper for a dance at Venice causes Artyom to lose one moral point, presumably because he's wasting valuable time that could be spent pursuing his slipping targets. You can, however, take a long peek at another stripper dancing in the next room without losing anything. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: Averted early in the game, when Artyom and Pavel are escaping from the Reich together. Artyom takes a bullet, and Pavel has to pick him up and let Artyom lean on him as he drags both of them into a train car to make their escape. Once they are out of immediate danger, Pavel comments that Artyom would be probably be dead if not for the Ranger armor he was wearing. As it was, the bullet just knocked the wind out of him and stunned him a bit. Also averted with Heavy soldiers: most shots will simply glance off of their armour. Artyom gets to wear a similar set of armour during the final battle. With it, he can simply shrug off some of the hits he takes. Hans (the hero of the Reich mission) is also clad in armor even bigger than Artyom's, meaning only sniper fire and flamethrowers can truly damage him. | |

Lightning Reveal | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_63baeeb2 | comment |
Ghosts. Shadows burned into existence by the nuclear explosions. They are everywhere. While Artom is on the surface, an occasional lightning strike shows that they are all around you, alive and dead at the same time. Others appear as silhouettes but disappear if you look directly at them (i.e. center the screen on them). | |

Broken Faceplate | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_655aa5ff | comment |
Broken Faceplate: Your gas mask will start to crack and break as you take damage from the front while wearing it. Quite a few corpses scattered on the surface and in the tunnels sport these as well. In a plot-relevant example, at the end of the level "Contagion", Lesnitsky taking Anna hostage demands that Artyom removes his mask. If Artyom attempts to attack him instead, he will throw the hostage at him, causing Artyom's visor to shatter on impact. | |

Stealth-Based Mission | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_6638c7f7 | comment |
Stealth-Based Mission: Developers initially claimed that it is possible to go through the whole game without killing anyone by using stealth, like in Metro 2033, however the final version of the game forces you to kill during the final level, as it is impossible to progress further without dealing with the tank crew and the flamethrower squad the hard way. It is, and a good number of the morality points necessary to get the good ending are earned through stealthing or using non-lethal takedowns to get through certain levels. The non-lethal melee takedown is not only viciously efficient (knocking out any human enemy in one hit), but hilarious and silent. Honestly one of the best ways to get through the game on Ranger difficulty, as it lets you save what little ammo you're allowed to carry for fighting mutants. It's even possible (although difficult and requiring good timing) to go through a couple of levels on the surface without killing any mutants. | |

Interface Screw | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: Presumably, one of the primary effects of ghosts. Certain areas will screw with your ability to use the flashlight or night vision, forcing you to pull out your lighter to illuminate the way forward. When using a gas mask, anything can get on the glass and obscure your vision, such as blowing dirt, water, blood, acid spit, all which need to be manually wiped off. Using the gas mask for any amount of time will result in condensation from Artyom's breath, which can't be wiped off. The condensation gets worse as the gas filter you are using ages. | |

Ironic Nickname: Artyom's callsign is "Rabbit", which provides an interesting contrast with his name (a masculine Russian cognate for the Greek goddess of the hunt, Artemis) and the fact that however you look at it, he is definitely not at the bottom of the food chain. Lampshaded in an achievement you get for flawlessly beating the intro level: "Not a Rabbit". | |

Cosmic Horror Story | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_6a1c2a6 | comment |
Cosmic Horror Story: Artyom points out that there are tunnels that predate Metro by centuries and wonders whether the mutants he encounters are really mutants or monsters that have been dormant and are now reclaiming the world in humanity's absence. There are also phenomenon like the River of Fate and the "Darkness" (which causes some electrical lights to flicker out) which are depicted as amoral despite their profound impacts on the reality around them. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: An inconspicuous civil defense bunker is full of the ghosts of people who killed themselves when the world ended. It's only a few meters away from the surface and some of them look like they died writhing on their beds. It is safe to assume that they were suffering from a severe radiation poisoning and some chose an easy way out. One bathtub in an apartment on the surface features a skeleton clutching a Preved (a bolt-action Sniper Rifle chambered in 12.7x108mm caliber) with a blood stain on the wall behind its head. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: As in the first game, the Karma Meter is pretty much undocumented, and the game never really points it out to you at all. Even when you know it exists, finding some of the morality points without using a guide is...difficult to say the least. You'll have to use a lot of trial and error to figure out how to gain/lose morality. Sometimes it's easy, such as a soldier surrendering, which would give you bad morality if you shoot them. For others, it's not as obvious, such as listening to people's conversations and talking to them. You can first obtain night vision goggles on the Nightfall level. However, unless you really like exploring, it can be incredibly easy to miss, as it's located at the beginning of the stage, and if you pass a certain point (the area before the mall/church), you won't be able to go back and will have to restart the level to obtain them. | |

All Myths Are True | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_776a06eb | comment |
All Myths Are True: To a fair degree. While the novel of Metro 2033 was pretty steeped in ambiguity, Metro Last Light takes a different route with its storytelling. The nosalis rhino is said to be a legend one level before it's fought (Even though the children at the shadow puppet theater claim their fathers have faced these before) and, of course, who could forget: "You may still harbor dreams of looking for some legendary artifacts, like the proverbial Map of Secret Metro, but... I think I'll have to disappoint you." Since communication between stations in the metro is very limited, it is safe to assume that different groups will have different information on the same topic. One station might deal with something on a regular basis that is told as a ghost story two stops down the line, just like how the Theater station announcer dismisses the Dark Ones in Exhibition as hallucinations induced by a messed up batch of moonshine. The books even feature a station said to be deserted and haunted, with expeditions to it ending in horrific death or insanity for all involved. Turns out the station actually has a hydroelectric power plant that powers much of the Metro, and its inhabitants promote the ghost stories to discourage anyone from attacking. | |

Hollywood Silencer | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_7d53bc0b | comment |
Hollywood Silencer: Spectacularly averted. Save for the VSK-94, which is pretty close to this trope in real life, silenced weapons are still fairly noisy (the revolver sounds like a firecracker going off), and enemies aren't oblivious to this sound. Using a silenced weapon versus an unsilenced weapon is the difference between enemies going "Something's up. Stay alert and check it out," versus "Someone's firing a weapon right over there. Get to cover!" rather than keeping you from being noticed at all. | |

Videogame Caring Potential: You can spare the lives of all hostile humans you meet aside from the tank crew and flamethrower squad in D6 and most mutants will not attack you unless you invade their territorynote In many instances, you can't pass through the level without going through what they consider their territory. Sometimes even then you can sneak past them, but not always., threaten their young, hurt them first or they consider you to be their food. Some will even stop chasing Artyom if he backs away peacefully. On the other hand... | |

Optional Stealth | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_80580ffe | comment |
Optional Stealth: The game is essentially this trope. You have a trench knife and a set of throwing knives while almost every weapon, including shotguns, has an optional silencer. On the other hand, you have an arsenal of grenades and mines, and can purchase such weapons as a heavy automatic shotgun if crawling around isn't your thing. As the difficulty level goes up however, the game presses the player into stealth: on top of the fact that gunfire can kill you in less than two seconds, firefights eat up a lot of ammunition, as enemies aware of your presence will start taking cover and make one-hit kills much more difficult. This can put you in a very bad position going into mutant-infested territory, where you will almost certainly have to shoot your way through and have very few opportunities for replenishing supplies and ammunition | |

Attack Its Weak Point | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_82108e3d | comment |
Attack Its Weak Point: For humans, a head shot will usually kill them in one hit. Heavily armored foes will require precise aiming or it may still take a few head shots to kill them. For the various mutants, typically it's also their head, though the ones that have a thick armored carapace/shell usually need to be hit on their underside to strike their weak point. In a boss battle against a bear, your companion will flat out tell you that its back is weak. In the final battle, you have to defeat an armoured rail car. Its wheels are a suspicious red colour. | |

BFG | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_8344209e | comment |
BFG: The Minigun is a lead-spewing machine with a rate of fire that will erase anything short of an armored vehicle. Even better if it has its own motor rather than a spring tension system. The "Preved" anti-materiel rifle fires 12.7x108mm bullets. It's so ridiculously powerful that it's difficult to find an in-game use for it. The "Abzats" automatic shotgun is a DShK machine gun converted to fire shotgun shells, while still being fully automatic. It's the weakest shotgun on a per-shot basis, but it puts out so much buckshot so fast that it will shred anything unarmored in front of the wielder, especially mutants. | |

Sliding Scale of Linearity vs. Openness: Very linear. Most levels are about making your way down a tunnel between Metro stations, or finding the path through a stealth level. There are two endings, but they are determined by your actions over the whole game, not by a couple of obvious decisions. | |

Always a Bigger Fish | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_88ebc539 | comment |
Always a Bigger Fish: In the level "Garden", near the end of the game this trope is surprisingly inverted. While fighting a giant mutant bear, Artyom has no hope of taking her down alive. However, several smaller Watchmen, sensing her distraction as a vulnerability, will attack her as a pack. Artyom can use this opportunity to get behind her and shoot her exposed back. After a few rounds of this, she barrels away to defend her cubs, and Artyom finds her weakened and cornered by the Watchmen pack, that will finish her off if Artyom does not help her. | |

Overshadowed by Awesome: Now that practically every weapon in the game is capable of mounting a silencer, there is very little reason why you would bother with using the Tihar. This is made all the worse by the fact that its cheap ammunition costs are almost completely mitigated by the introduction of ammo caps, which is set at a few dozen ball bearings, depending on the difficulty. | |

That said, you don't suffocate as soon as the watch reaches zero but can go around for a few more seconds, the same as if your mask is broken or removed. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: The Duplet in 2033 fired a barrel depending on what mouse button you pressed (LMB for the left, RMB for the right, press both for a double discharge). Here in Last Light, LMB fires one barrel, and RMB fires both. If you get the quad-barrel upgrade for it and aren't used to the different handling, expect your shell count to go down the drain fast. | |

Shotguns Are Just Better: If forced to fight in close quarters, nothing matches the stopping power of a shotgun, especially the duplet upgraded to four barrels. You can usually hold a decent amount of shells as well, so you can fire off quite a few shots before running out of ammo. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The Helsing. You have to keep it pumped, which limits its effectiveness against multiple opponents as damage drops dramatically after the first few shots on a full reservoir. The arrows it fires are both hideously rare and expensive, and also have a tendency to drift at longer ranges, limiting it to close quarters only. On the other hand, you just shot a dude in the face with an arrow and the guy behind him didn't notice. Ammo is retrievable, so long as you don't shoot it somewhere you can't get to. At higher pressures, the Helsing can kill virtually any human opponent in one shot, even through their armour. Although not nearly as useful against swarms, it can also kill most mutants in one shot as well. | |

Giant Spider: Spiderbugs form large nests, move quickly, and are vulnerable only on their undersides which, thanks to their moving low to the ground, are hard to hit. However they are Weakened by the Light, which literally scorches their carapaces and causes them to flip over in agony. In any case, turning on lights will kill most, scare the rest away, and create safe havens against them, while a flashlight will cause them to back off. The only way for them to successfully take down a well-equipped human is by ambush or attacking in numbers from multiple directions. Females have a normal round abdomen, while males have a scorpion tail. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The prologue level is packed with it. Ambient dialogue from the other Rangers mention the Reds building an army, Reich stalkers near D6, several doors in D6 being welded shut or locked from the inside (leading to speculation that it wasn't built as a shelter at all), a Ranger patrol in the swamp being wiped out with only one survivor, and Lesnitsky going missing. A very small one. After rescuing Pavel, he thanks Artyom and starts talking about honor and being heroes. He suggests Artyom and him become a heroic team against the world — not following any groups. He uses The Three Musketeers as an example. When he says the motto, "All for one", he doesn't finish saying, "and one for all". This give a small reveal that Pavel is out for himself. During the chapter "Reich", despite having a clear shot on the Führer during his rally, Pavel instead opts to fire in the air to cause panic; since any grunt would jump at the chance for killing the enemy leader and gaining recognition, his actions allude to the fact that he has reason to avoid conflict (i.e. the Soviet plan to cause faction unity as a distraction for their D6 raid). Another small one from Pavel — remember his line about how "good Communist does not believe in souls"? If you decide not to save him after your final battle, he gets dragged into oblivion by the angry souls of the dead. | |

Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_a2326b6a | comment |
No Canon for the Wicked: Averted. Last Light uses the Downer Ending of the previous game as canon, although it's left ambiguous if Artyom was the selfish bastard the player needed to be to get the bad ending, or just ignored all the signs that the Dark Ones were friendly and made a choice to kill them. As noted under Diabolus ex Machina, this may also have had something to do with the Guide Dang It! requirements of the "good" ending of the first game. It was entirely possible for Artyom to make all of the "good" choices presented in the narrative (not stiffing an unarmed little boy who helped him, turning down a reward for finding a missing child, etc.) and still not accrue enough "morality points" to get the good ending. Alternatively, it might use the ending from the novel, which contained elements of both the "good" and "bad" endings: Artyom in the end did realize that the Dark Ones did not mean any harm and the deaths that they caused were accidental, but by then he was too late to stop the missile launch from happening and watches in horror as they fall. | |

Blown Across the Room: Zig-zagged. Like in the first game bodies generally react to shots like you would expect them, aside from shotguns that send humans and mutants flying (and hilariously backflipping) this time around. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The Preved sniper rifle. It is effectively the most powerful sniper rifle in comparison to Valve as it can one-shot anyone at any difficulty including Ranger Hardcore, due to its nature as an anti-materiel rifle. However, this can only be obtained in the later stages of the game through buying it at a specific merchant in Depot at a significantly expensive price of 230 MGRsnote 345 in Ranger mode, finding one in Dead City, or being handed one during the final level. Its rounds are also extremely rare and hard to find in the original version of the game, making ammunition management a major necessity. The Gatling. It outmatches every single machine gun in comparison due to its high rate of fire, high damage and high ammunition count of 500, allowing the user to mow all moving enemies at a rapid pace. However, the weapon only makes an endgame appearance and can be only obtained at the very end of the game during the final phase of the battle for D6 level. | |

Apocalyptic Log | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_ad22fa80 | comment |
Apocalyptic Log: Several audio recordings can be found lying around The Dead City, left there by stalkers, Rangers, and various Metro-dwellers who tried and failed to set up outposts there. They all start out innocuously, before shifting to frightened tones as they begin hearing strange, unexplained noises and start to worry that they're not alone in the ruins. It's never entirely clear if they were talking about the watchmen, the mutant bear, or if there's something even worse out there. Given the sheer number of ghosts in that borough, option C is the likeliest. | |

Tap on the Head | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_b1a7cd14 | comment |
Tap on the Head: Unlike in the first gamenote That is, the original version of the first game; this ability was backported to the Redux version, this time those going for a Pacifist Run don't have to sneak past guards undetected, but instead can sneak up behind them and knock them out. Gameplay-wise, this is identical to killing them with a knife in every way except how it affects the game's hidden Karma Meter, as they don't ever wake up while Artyom is still present in the level. A somewhat ambiguous example: the part of the trope where they wake up with no lasting injury (despite what would realistically be the consequences of such head trauma) is not seen, but is sort of implied by the fact that no long-term consequences are ever mentioned and the fact that the game's hidden Karma Meter doesn't penalize you for it at all, treating it the same as a completely non-violent solution. | |

Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Many of the standard FPS ones, such as the fact that reloading is based on individual bullets rather than full magazines; so you can instantly reload a full mag (or Bastard feed strip) as long as you have enough bullets. Besides the genre standards, for the convenience of people playing a Pacifist Run, it seems to play Tap on the Head fairly straight, with knock-out blows being oddly reliable and having no acknowledged risk to accidentally kill the target or leave him a vegetable. | |

Short-Range Shotgun: Played straight for the most part. If you attempt to hit something that's far away from you with a shotgun, you won't do much damage to it versus a point blank hit. There is a mod you can purchase which extends the barrel and gives you more accuracy at medium ranges. But generally speaking if you're going to engage in long range combat, you're better off using an assault rifle. | |

Harder Than Hard: Ranger mode makes a return. The ammunition is extremely scarce and every living thing is a Glass Cannon. On top of that this time around Ranger mode removes the HUD entirely; you have to count your ammunition manually and select throwable items by sound cues. | |

You Have to Burn the Web: The Metro is full in places of huge spiders. A few of them are dense nests with giant ones, but most of them are "merely" the size of a large fist. They spin webs that, while not enough to catch a human, are big enough to slow a person down as they try to push through them. However, Artyom can use his lighter to set fire to them, causing them to quickly shrivel away. | |

Hand Wave: Rather than using compressed time or some form of Gameplay and Story Segregation to separate their gameplay lifespan from their in-universe lifespan, the fact that gas mask filters only last five minutes is waved off as being because the people who refurbish them are too stingy with the activated charcoal. The conflict between the in-universe acknowledgment of ridiculously short filter time, and the fact that there is no acknowledged risk of imminent death for people left unconscious on the surface, is not addressed. | |

The Gatling.

Artistic License – Geography | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: While the subway stations are lovingly rendered with minor alterations from the source material (mostly to make them more spacious to accommodate more people and things for Artyom to interact with) and there are recognizable landmarks to remind you that this still is Moscow — just as in the first game — the aboveground sections are more blatant than the first game about inventing locations and places that don't accurately map to any area corresponding to the subway map shown in the loading screens. A not-immediately-obvious case of this being the journey across the swamp to the Church outpost: the locations Artyom traverses to get there are more characteristic of districts outside of the Circle Line, and certainly none of these exist in that specific area, the gas station and parking garages in particular, not to mention that he covers more than twice the distance that actually exists between Tretyakovskaya (where Venice is located) and Polyanka (next to which the Church stands). The fact that in real life that church is surrounded by buildings taller than itself and in the game it stands alone is another issue. The prominent Stalinist highrise near the level's beginning (based on the real-life hotel "Ukraina") is also located in an entirely different part of the city. A bigger problem is the Bridge level. It's rather faithfully based off the Vorobyovy Gory station (explicitly showing its signage at several points) which is three stations down the Red Line outside of the Circle Line and in the books serves as the border between the Communist and Emerald City factions. However, the in-game map shows Artyom hovering around Park Kultury and Kropotkinskaya, and while there is a bridge near Park Kultury, it is a suspension bridge like the Golden Gate, not used for metro trains at all. The Echoes level with the crashed plane supposedly takes place on Teatralnaya square in the heart of Moscow, but the station's vestibule and most of the surrounding area is instead modeled closely after the Dobryninskaya station and the adjacent Serpukhovskaya square, located about 3 kilometers to the south. The Stalinist highrise is, again, located nowhere near Teatralnaya, so its sole faithful remaining feature is the Bolshoi Theater's building. No airliner coming from Majorca to land in Domodedovo would fly over Moscow — the airport is over 40 kilometers south of the city. That particular instance might be forgivable, though, on account of the Majorca part simply being Pavel's speculation; the pilots in the flashback don't mention where they were coming from. | |

Swamps Are Evil: Or at least dangerous. When not winter (as in the first game) much of the open areas in the city have turned to marshland, where snowmelt pools into water that ranges from ankle-depth to enough to drown yourself in. Sparse but hardy plants now make this home, covered in Ominous Fog where mutant species prey on each other, some amphibious who ambush prey from the water. They are traversed frequently enough by Stalkers to justify leave red flag pennants marking safe paths, but even then they usually move through the swamps only in groups. | |

Big Creepy-Crawlies | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_eb4086e3 | comment |
Big Creepy-Crawlies: Artyom runs into a lot of exoskeletal invertebrates of unusual size this time around, with hardened carapaces which are only vulnerable in certain places. Giant Spider: Spiderbugs form large nests, move quickly, and are vulnerable only on their undersides which, thanks to their moving low to the ground, are hard to hit. However they are Weakened by the Light, which literally scorches their carapaces and causes them to flip over in agony. In any case, turning on lights will kill most, scare the rest away, and create safe havens against them, while a flashlight will cause them to back off. The only way for them to successfully take down a well-equipped human is by ambush or attacking in numbers from multiple directions. Females have a normal round abdomen, while males have a scorpion tail. Giant Enemy Crabs: Shrimp mutants. According to one fisherman, they are normally pretty placid and only attack if startled or threatened, but they make good eating, especially with beer. They can be found in the flooded sections of the Metro, and also on the surface where they live in rivers and marshlands. The ones on the surface seem more aggressive than their sewer kin, and will sometimes pull themselves onto land to attack prey. They do this by swinging their claws in wide arcs, while holding those same claws in front of their vulnerable bellies, which gives them some protection against armed humans who would otherwise shoot the slow-moving shrimp without contest. Taking one down involves careful timing at short range, hitting it when it exposes itself as it attacks. | |

Big Damn Heroes: The Dark Ones in the Redemption ending. The baby Dark One prevents Artyom from blowing up D6 while the adults trounce the Communists without breaking a sweat. During the Reich mission, Hans and Diesel. Before they arrived, the Nazis were barely holding their ground against the Communists. Hans holds the line and thwarts the entire attack almost single-handed. | |

Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_ecb70eb4 | comment |
Videogame Cruelty Potential: Artyom can choose to execute the soldiers that surrendered and threw their weapons on the ground and clear out mutant nests even when explicitly told that they are not hostile and are simply protecting their homes. The Pavel mission in the DLC has two Scripted Events where you can trick someone into shooting their ally and a guard who, if knocked out with proper timing, will fall into the waste pit under an outhouse. | |

Garden of Evil: The Alexander Gardens, one of the oldest public parks in Moscow, has become an overgrown and twisted place. Leafless and gnarled trees grow together so tightly in places as to be impassable by something the size of a human, several areas are flooded, many predators hunt there, and watch out for the giant mutant bears. | |

Downloadable Content: The first DLC released in mid-June, 2013, is the Faction Pack. It consists of three separate levels that allow players to revisit some major landmarks from the first game. Heavy Squad sends the player to the Frontline bridge as a member of the Fourth Reich assault team to deal with the Red Line attacks. It is essentially a shooting gallery, akin to the final battle at D6 from the single player campaign. Sniper Team sends the player to the Outpost level, still held by the Reich, as one of the best Red Line sniper with orders to reach Black station. It resembles stealth missions from the first game, with a lot of dialogue to eavesdrop. Kshatriya puts the player in a role of a young member of the Kshatriya faction in Polis, tasked with scavenging pre-war artifacts and relics from the State Library. It is a giant non-linear level with explorable areas both on the surface and below ground. The second DLC released is the Tower Pack. It features a virtual combat simulator developed seven years after an unspecified war. The player plays a role of a nameless captain injured in a recent fight. He is picked to test the combat simulator, battling humans and mutants with all of Metro's weaponry. The third DLC released is the Developer Pack, it features an AI Arena, a Metro Museum and a Shooting Gallery as well as a separate level called Spider Lair. If you have arachnophobia, it will either cure you, or kill you. The fourth DLC released is the Chronicles Pack. This features three new missions related to the main story, from the perspectives of several of Artyom's companions. Namely, they include (1) How Anna got separated from Artyom during their initial search for the Baby Dark One, (2) What happened to Pavel between the events of Venice and Red Square, and (3) How Ulman and Khan made it back to Polis following the train chase, as well as Khan's backstory. | |

Fire-Breathing Weapon: Heavily armored soldiers with flamethrowers at the Theater station. The game's "final boss" is a flamethrower trooper protected by a shield wall of several riot shield wielding soldiers. The Faction Pack DLC introduces incendiary rounds for both shotguns and pistols in the Library mission — the latter are also armour-piercing. | |

Dude, Where's My Respect? | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: The first couple of levels show that Artyom is acknowledged as the savior of the Metro and has been a Ranger for several months, but it seems he's still considered to not have "made his bones" among the Rangers. He's also given the rather embarrassing callsign of "Rabbit" and is mocked by Anna. Overheard dialogue from other Rangers suggest that most of them spend at least a couple years as "cadets" before being made full members of The Order, so their derision might be because Artyom did not have to go through that trial phase like the rest of them. Subverted later in the game at one point when you are being hunted by an enemy patrol sent out after you take out the train at Circus. They mention how you're not "just any Ranger", having recently took out an entire squad, with terrified survivors claiming you were an "animal". | |

Attempted Rape: The first 2 bandits you encounter are doing this to a woman they've abducted. If you're quick enough, you can save her. But if you take too long, they'll beat her to death. Forget the violence, language, sex, horror themes, this was the reason for the rating on the box. | |

Laser Sight | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_f9bc2937 | comment |
Laser Sight: Artyom can equip a laser sight on all weapons in his arsenal. On most difficulty levels they are unnecessary as the crosshairs are more reliable indicators of where your shots will go. However, on Ranger Mode, the Heads-Up Display is disabled, and they become essential for lining a shot up from the hip. The AI is oblivious to the ray and will not notice the player even if a laser pointer is being shined right at their eyes. | |

Weakened by the Light | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_fab3c1e1 | comment |
Weakened by the Light: The arachnids/spider bugs certainly are. Light causes them obvious physical discomfort, shying away from it, and getting angry red sunburns on their carapace if exposed to any significant light source for more than a second or so. Trapping them between a flashlight beam and a corner will result in them becoming so agonized that they flail their legs spastically and involuntarily flip over onto their backs, exposing their relatively unarmored underside. You can then either shoot, melee, or simply focus the light on them, and they'll die at some point, though the latter two options aren't recommended if there are more than one of them around. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
Metro: Last Light (Video Game) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: You can breathe while surrounded by fire in an enclosed space, so long as you have working air filters. While the filter would keep smoke out of your lungs, it wouldn't do anything about the lack of oxygen. Pneumatic weapons do more damage the higher the pressure in the gauge is when you fire. However, each shot decreases the pressure by the same amount, regardless of how high the gauge was before, thus every shot should impart roughly the same amount of energy to each projectile. The same goes for electric battery on the Hellbreath railgun as well. | |
