Metro Exodus achievements

Requirement

Finish the Moscow escape and allow the transition to Winter.

How to work on it

• Finish Moscow. If Brakeman did not unlock, use an appropriate earlier save or replay after preserving your main campaign; it is separate from this automatic story achievement.

Requirement

Let the locomotive naming scene finish in Winter.

Requirement

Use the repair prompt to patch a cracked gas mask; repair it rather than only changing its filter.

How to work on it

• When damage cracks the gas mask and the repair prompt appears, apply the temporary patch. Do not deliberately take heavy damage for this during a Ranger Hardcore attempt.

Requirement

Enter the boat during the opening Volga church approach.

Requirement

Fit a modification in every available category on one compatible gun at the backpack/workbench.

Requirement

Get into the recovered rail trolley in Volga.

How to work on it

• Enter the recovered trolley. Before returning with it, finish any convenient boat detours.

Requirement

Spend 500 consumable resources on crafting over your play. Craft useful ammunition, filters and equipment as needed.

How to work on it

• Crafting and cleaning spending accumulate as you maintain equipment. Do useful maintenance throughout the campaign; do not waste your survival reserve merely to accelerate a counter.

Requirement

Recover the passenger carriage in Volga and progress its story objective.

Requirement

Finish the Volga bridge finale.

How to work on it

• Complete the chapter. For the preferred three-companion survival run, verify Duke before advancing to the next major region.

Requirement

Finish Yamantau after rescuing Anna and escaping.

Requirement

Acquire the Bukhanka and drive it in the Caspian chapter.

How to work on it

• Driving starts the first achievement. For 50 vehicle kills, run down hostile mutants in open desert, avoiding captives and other humans whose status is uncertain. Do not turn slave rescue routes into a driving kill farm.

Requirement

Collect the satellite maps in the underground laboratory.

How to work on it

• Acquire the satellite maps. Before driving to the next objective, visit Anna for the optional slave-camp markers and make a fresh equipment check.

Requirement

Kill 90 cannibals in Yamantau; the rescue/departure waves provide opportunities. Recoverable by a later combat replay.

How to work on it

• Kill 90 cannibals. The rescue and final departure waves are useful opportunities. If your count is short, use a later chapter replay instead of sabotaging the next region's moral objectives.

Requirement

Kill 30 appropriate hostile enemies using the Tikhar; avoid protected humans on the survival route.

How to work on it

• Work toward 30 Tikhar kills on appropriate hostiles. Cultists, surrendered enemies and prisoners are poor targets for a crew-survival run.

Requirement

Retrieve both the guitar and Nastya's teddy bear in Volga; return and complete the crew interactions.

How to work on it

• Obtain both the guitar and bear. The teddy bear for Nastya is a different object from the small New Game+ Toy seller collectible; one does not replace the other.

Requirement

Finish the Caspian chapter at the Baron's fortress.

Requirement

Stay for the wedding during the Summer train chapter.

Requirement

Finish the Taiga chapter.

Requirement

Pass the putrid tunnel in the Dead City story route.

How to work on it

• Pass the putrid tunnel along the story route. Mutant encounters here can contribute to Antibiotic; they do not require sacrificing any human companion outcome.

Requirement

Perform 50 melee kills or knockouts. Knockouts let this coexist with the merciful route, except the stricter Forest child attempt.

How to work on it

• Begin the 50 melee kills or knockouts here. Nonlethal takedowns count, so this target can coexist with the companion-survival route. Never farm it against protected people during the stricter Forest child chapter.

Requirement

Kill 300 mutants across combat play; avoid adding unnecessary encounters to an Iron survival attempt.

How to work on it

• Pass the putrid tunnel along the story route. Mutant encounters here can contribute to Antibiotic; they do not require sacrificing any human companion outcome.

Requirement

Keep Duke alive through the Volga ending by sparing cultists/merchants and following the nonlethal route.

How to work on it

• Kill the catfish with the trap before departing. This optional kill does not require abandoning Duke's nonlethal policy toward humans.
• Complete the chapter. For the preferred three-companion survival run, verify Duke before advancing to the next major region.

Requirement

Keep Alyosha unwounded at the end of Taiga; spare the Pioneers and Pirates.

How to work on it

• Confirm the actual notifications. Healthy Alyosha alone does not prove you completed Forest child; the latter additionally checks the full chapter's attack and detection history.

Requirement

Kill the catfish with the terminal trap before taking the railcar out.

How to work on it

• Kill the catfish with the trap before departing. This optional kill does not require abandoning Duke's nonlethal policy toward humans.

Requirement

Drive off the bear at its first cemetery encounter rather than immediately fleeing by ladder.

How to work on it

• Fight this first bear until it retreats. Prepare Molotovs and ammunition before triggering it, keep room to evade its charge, and heal only after creating distance. Escaping immediately forfeits this opportunity for the current pass.

Requirement

Tune the Aurora radio to music and let the tune register.

Requirement

Kill 30 enemies with the Helsing crossbow. Use mutants or another replay if human attacks would compromise Forest child.

Requirement

Reach the ending where Artyom survives and leads the Order; protect at least two favorable companion outcomes.

Requirement

Kill 300 human enemies. Yamantau/replay combat is safer for the preferred story than killing protected regional factions.

Requirement

Sit through the Admiral's tea scene in Taiga; stay and complete its interaction before leaving.

Requirement

Have Damir return to the Aurora: rescue slaves, avoid killing them and return Giul's photograph.

Requirement

Progress the New Year celebration in The Two Colonels.

Requirement

Complete the Petrovich medicine-choice scene; either role-playing response qualifies.

Requirement

Complete Khlebnikov's guidance conversation with Kirill during The Two Colonels story.

Requirement

Finish The Two Colonels.

Requirement

Reach the ending where Artyom dies after saving Anna; requires an unfavorable donor outcome from earlier regional choices, not a last-minute dialogue.

Requirement

Pass the Dead City research facility without killing any Blind One; use quiet movement and distractions.

How to work on it

• Get through the facility without killing a Blind One. Fighting and winning is still a failure for this target. If you killed one, reload before that kill while you still have an appropriate save.
• Avoid the broken glass while bypassing the roaming Blind Ones. Complete the mandatory final struggle when prompted; Guide is checked after that scripted sequence. Do not shoot an earlier roaming creature to pre-empt the scene.
• The conservative route is full Captain trust throughout the DLC and detonation at the end. Some community reports distinguish the trust flag from the final choice; this guide does not promise the achievement if you skipped trust events or choose a conflicting ending.

Requirement

In one continuous campaign, have Duke survive, Damir stay and Alyosha remain unwounded. One loss forfeits this run's target.

Requirement

Kill a demon with fire; the Volga teddy-bear nest is a practical planned attempt.

How to work on it

• If still needed, kill the nest's demon with fire. Bring Molotovs before climbing and throw from a position with a clear exit. Do not burn the route you need to use for retreat. On a high difficulty, postpone this optional fight if supplies are weak.

Requirement

Finish Sam's Story with either final submarine choice.

Requirement

Make one kill with each of the ten base ranged weapons listed in the cleanup step; distinct attachments do not count as new weapon types.

How to work on it

• Get one actual kill with each base ranged weapon: Revolver, Ashot, Shambler, Bastard, Kalash, Bulldog, Gatling, Valve, Tikhar and Helsing. Attachments do not create new weapon types; Sam's new weapons are a separate DLC system.

Requirement

While suffocating after filters run out in a hazardous area, craft a new filter. Prepare materials and a safe save; defer on a fragile survival run.

How to work on it

• Optional on a safe Normal run: in a toxic area, exhaust your filters and craft a replacement while Artyom is actually suffocating. Have the resources and the menu route ready. Avoid this deliberate risk during an Iron or Ranger survival run; it can be done later.

Requirement

Make three kills while wearing the gas mask, using night vision and aiming through a sniper scope together.

Requirement

Spend 500 chemical resources specifically on cleaning weapons at workbenches.

How to work on it

• Crafting and cleaning spending accumulate as you maintain equipment. Do useful maintenance throughout the campaign; do not waste your survival reserve merely to accelerate a counter.

Requirement

Set all five Molotov traps in the Captain's apartment before using its departure route.

How to work on it

• Confirm all five traps before using the departure hook/zipline. Completing them also contributes to the Captain's trust. An incomplete set needs an earlier save or DLC replay.

Requirement

Destroy the large statue in front of the children's camp early in Taiga.

Requirement

Collect every upgrade for Sammy and Stallion in Sam's Story; strip parts from found guns, including parts you do not intend to equip.

Requirement

Use the bucket lift to reach the oasis in the Caspian chapter.

Requirement

Replace the cinema film with the American documentary and start its screening.

Requirement

Collect all 13 distinct suit upgrades: eight in Volga and five in Caspian, in the same continuous campaign.

Requirement

Detach all required cars on the hostile Moscow train before planting the bomb.

How to work on it

• Finish Moscow. If Brakeman did not unlock, use an appropriate earlier save or replay after preserving your main campaign; it is separate from this automatic story achievement.
• Look for the red coupling lever left of each of the two eligible carriage doorways. Hold the prompted interaction for both before moving forward. Count two completed detachments; opening the doors and planting the final bomb are different actions.

Requirement

Avoid every Blind One throwing attack in the Two Colonels final encounter; a thrown mutant also counts.

How to work on it

• Avoid every thrown attack, including thrown creatures. Taking ordinary damage elsewhere in the DLC is a different condition. If a thrown object hits you, load the pre-fight save and repeat the encounter before advancing.

Requirement

Kill 50 enemies at long distance; use a scoped weapon against distant hostile targets.

Requirement

Finish Sam's Story on Normal or higher without dying in any Batwing encounter. Prepare for all three fights, not just the last.

Requirement

Complete Sam's Story with the Captain's full trust. Follow every local trust interaction; the guide uses detonation as the conservative final branch.

How to work on it

• The conservative route is full Captain trust throughout the DLC and detonation at the end. Some community reports distinguish the trust flag from the final choice; this guide does not promise the achievement if you skipped trust events or choose a conflicting ending.

Requirement

Kill 50 enemies by running them down with the Bukhanka. Use hostile mutants to avoid harming the slave-rescue route.

How to work on it

• Driving starts the first achievement. For 50 vehicle kills, run down hostile mutants in open desert, avoiding captives and other humans whose status is uncertain. Do not turn slave rescue routes into a driving kill farm.

Requirement

Finish the full main campaign on Ranger Hardcore. Select it at the start and do not lower difficulty.

How to work on it

• When damage cracks the gas mask and the repair prompt appears, apply the temporary patch. Do not deliberately take heavy damage for this during a Ranger Hardcore attempt.

Requirement

Collect all nine Two Colonels diary pages, including the last one before the final vent.

Requirement

Kill three Nosalises with the flamethrower's melee strike; fire damage kills do not fulfill it.

How to work on it

• Kill three Nosalises using the flamethrower's melee strike. Do this deliberately against isolated, weakened targets while healthy. A burn kill from its primary fire does not count as a melee kill.

Requirement

Finish Taiga without attacking people or being noticed. Use a dedicated stealth replay if exploration/combat goals conflict; even knockouts are avoided.

How to work on it

• Begin the 50 melee kills or knockouts here. Nonlethal takedowns count, so this target can coexist with the companion-survival route. Never farm it against protected people during the stricter Forest child chapter.
• Confirm the actual notifications. Healthy Alyosha alone does not prove you completed Forest child; the latter additionally checks the full chapter's attack and detection history.

Requirement

Collect the full 71-page base diary set despite the achievement wording saying 70. Use the chapter atlas and replay for missed pages.

Requirement

Collect all 21 base-game postcards. Check each one-way chapter interior as you pass; missing cards can be recovered in replay.

Requirement

Finish New Game+ with at least one modifier enabled.

Requirement

Find all eight Night Hunter secret stashes; check hidden entrances and puzzles before each one-way transition.

Requirement

Complete the entire Two Colonels DLC on Normal or higher without using a medkit. Set difficulty before starting the attempt.

Requirement

Collect all nine harmonica music sheets in Sam’s Story. Playing an available piano is an optional community-reported precaution, not a substitute for a sheet or a separately verified requirement. Diary notes are a different collection.

Requirement

Collect the fish, sun and bear toys during New Game+; ordinary teddy-bear quest items do not substitute.

How to work on it

• Obtain both the guitar and bear. The teddy bear for Nastya is a different object from the small New Game+ Toy seller collectible; one does not replace the other.

Requirement

Complete a campaign with Iron Mode enabled in New Game+. Plan for chapter-length progress loss if you die or abandon a chapter.
