Metro 2033 Advice

I've recently gotten into playing Metro 2033 and have been playing it for quite some time now. I've now gotten to the Outpost level and I'm having a very big problem. My gas mask is completely out. I have no more gas containers and I couldn't restock before coming out so now I am left with no more fresh air, am out in the open, and cannot finish the level nor even the game because of this. Does anyone have any advice for what to do? I think part of the problem was that I didn't buy a lot with Bourbon and at times I don't think I conserved them very well. I have to ask what's the best option for me?

Should I reload a previous game and try to go from there and conserve all the little amount of oxygen that I have or reload from Bourbon and play the game throughout from there but this time buying more oxygen containers?

Thanks but have you got any advice as to my predicament?

I remember on Outpost there are patrols. New masks and also new canisters in the house.

As for the topic, there is usually gas mask filters lying around outside in stashes.

As for the topic, there is usually gas mask filters lying around outside in stashes.

Specifically, where? I'm already at I guess the main house near the beginning of Outpost and I've been able to pick up a few gas masks but it's not enough or only lasts a short amount of time.

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] I'm not sure wat other games you are playing if Metro 2033 is difficult to you.

I'll try, thanks for the advice.

corpses usually have one on their head or nearby

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"]I don't remember exactly where they are, that would be impossible, but you can get a lot of them so just look around for stashes. I think some enemies drop filters as well. Goyoshi12

On that advice,
- In the first area when you come up from underground, I remember one or two dead characters at the far end of the area, on top of the shelves of ice / frozen ground. I think they had a fairly good amount of stuff with them when I played, so that might be a good spot.

- You could beat most of the first patrol quickly with a grenade (probably two of them left afterwards)and then run around checking them for filters.
I remember one guy above them though, so if you have a silenced weapon you might want to get him first, then throw the grenade. (that's what I did!)




Just a few filters seems to last a little while though. I feel like I would look around maybe a bit too slowly and carefully but still ended up with enough filters to not be in too big of a rush. I let them go until your guy changes them himself, if that helps.

And maybe later on in the level, if you're running out of time you could try different things like skipping out on looting as thoroughly as usual, sneaking or running past enemies, or maybe even sometimes throwing a grenade rather than taking the time to aim.

Thanks for the advice guys but now I'm at the Library level and my gas mask is detering again but this time I'm not finding any containers to use or pick up (I did find one body in the place but for some reason it isn't giving me the option of taking his mask). Any ideas for this level? It's not that bad as before, it's twelve instead of like five but it's still low and is still falling.

I know it's probably pathetic asking this because it takes out the engrossing nature of the game but this game is just increasing tension (especially at the part inside the library and the demon is trying to come in) and it's almost making me think twice about exploring as if looking around is almost a bad idea. I just want some confirmation on whether or not it's OK to look around (if the demon bursting down the door is on a timer or not) and if it is timed then could you confirm on whether or not there are some either dead bodies or stashes of gas masks so that I don't go looking through the library wasiting time and delaying the inevitable.

I don't remember much about the library level except that it's the most intense part fo the game. I ran out of ammo halfway through and ended up running to the end of the level.

you have put yourself in a terribad predicament. reload the game from the bandit camp checkpoint. grab the electrodriver lying near the campfire when the bandits are dead. then sell it when you reach market station for a tihar or a shotgun. tada easy 50-75 gold ammo

the ranger mode free dlc really wrecked metro 2033 cause that electro driver is worth so much damn money its stupid

Check bodies. Sometimes they are just lying on the ground. The game would have been considered "broken" if you couldn't obtain a gas mask when you needed it in order to progress.

Word of advice. Save often. Reload to earlier save point when you fck up. lol

Youll need to reload an earlier save and stock up on some filters. Heres some advice to help prevent this from hapening though: When you are in an area where u need to use the gas mask try not to shoot people in the head or use explosives as much because this willbreak their gas mask and you wont be able to pick up the filters. If you dont break their gas mask they drop filters more often, they are almost empty most of the time if you are playing on the ranger dificulties but they still give you quite a lot of time. If you think its bad now just wait till you get to the library.
