How to get the Righteous Vengeance Trophy

This trophy is awarded when you kill 90 cannibals. The time to acquire the trophy is at the start of Yamantau, immediately after the cutscene where you are freed from captivity by the crew and are ambushed by infinitely spawning cannibals. At this point you can choose to either ignore the others and keep killing in order to get the required cannibal kills for the trophy or continue with the others and try to unlock it naturally by progressing through the level. If you decide to stay and kill canibals you will find dozens you can kill as you are on the trolley driving away at the end. A good way to rack up the kills is to throw grenades and molotovs at them.

Easy Carmaheddon Trophy

To get this trophy you need to make 50 kills with the Bukhanka. In order to do so you should start working on the requirement for this trophy as soon as you acquire the Bukhanka vehicle in The Caspian by using it to run over the enemes that spawn in roads or in the desert in groups of 4-6 as you travel from objectives or other locations.

How to get the Professional Trophy

In order to get this trophy you must make at least one kill with all 10 weapons in the game. This means getting a kill with the..

The best weapon in Metro Exodus when all things are considered is the Tihkar rifle, a multi-stroke pneumatic air gun that was created from scrap by the Metro dwellers. The Tihkar is the only weapon that you can craft ammo for on the go, and the steel balls it shoots are relatively cheap to make, making it highly economical. Once you start adding upgrades to this weapon it will become incredibly effective. You will be able to take down most mutants and bandits with one fully charged headshot and the noise it makes is minimal compared to a shotgun or sniper rifle. The only downside to thee Tihkar is you have to constantly keep both it's pump and ammo topped off.

Unless you want to attract the attention of every mutant and bandit in earshot it is advised that whenever possible you use a supressor on your weapon to silence it when fired. Most weapons, including shotguns, can be fitted with a silencer, so always check to see if there is one available at your crafting bench. If you are about to undergo an objective that requires stealth having a supressor attached to your weapon is essential. The Revolver is one of the best candidates for a suppressor in Metro Exodus as it's higher-level barrels don't add that much damage and accuracy over it's suppressor.

When you enter the Volga you will meet an engineer named Krest who is holed up in a crane overlooking a mutant infested warehouse. The crane which Krest calls home has plenty of materials and machinery, as well as a crafting bench. It is this crafting bench that will allow you to craft and install the compass attachment to Artyom's Bracer, the wrist guard he wears on his left wrist that is outfitted with various useful gadgets. The thin red needle on this compass will always point to the current primary objective making it a useful item to have at your disposal when you are out exploring.

In Metro Exodus you can jump between day and night by sleeping at the beds found in various safehouses. Make sure you take advantage of this by picking a time of day that suits your next objective. If your objective involves treking through some open territory then it makes sense to attempt the journey during the day when mutants are less active and you can see what is around you. If on the other hand your objective requires stealth, like infiltrating a bandit camp for example you should rest until nightfall so the darkness makes you more difficult to spot.

It is important that you know what the different types of markers indicate when you are examining a location.

White Cross

This icon indicates the next place you should visit to progress along the storyline.

Question Mark

This icon indicates an interesting place that you have not visited but have already learned about it (for example, from your comrades or by using your binoculars).

Red Skull

This icon indicates that the place where you have already been is occupied by enemies – bandits or mutants (you will find resources there, possibly an upgrade).

Green House or a Green Fire (in Taiga)

This icon indicates a safe shelter with a sleeping place or a workbench.

Lower Right Screen Numbers

The numbers that appear in the lower right corner of the screen during saving or loading a game indicates the distance that separates the Artyom and his friends from Moscow. The distance is shown in kilometers. It is the distance covered by the Aurora.

When you find Krest he will give you a pair of binoculars. These binoculars are particularly useful as they allow you to scope out what lies ahead, confirm enemy locations, and mark it all to your map. When you scan using the binoculars you will hear clicks indicating that they are aimed at some interesting place. Holding the binoculars in that position will automatically make a question mark appear on your map. You then need to zoom in and find the required object.

When you first exit the Aurora you will recieve a map from Colonel Miller. This map will automatically update your primary objectives and some optional ones. The most imnportant part of this journal though is the back which is also updated regularly with entries and gives specific details as to what you need to do next, it is important that you study this as some journal entries will advise you to avoid killing, approach stealthily, or watch for specific sub-goals.
