The ashot seemed like it did crazy damage and it reloaded fast. I put the long barrel and lazer on it and used it to murder mutants.

I'm doing my first run nonlethally because sniping out all the lights and then running through the darkness punching everybody in the face is both easy and fun. However, I now got to a "bossfight" that consists of a small square room with no good cover at all, in daylight and a huge amount of enemies constantly shooting me from above. What am I supposed to do here? Is this the "forced to kill" area mentioned in the achievement?

Mushball posted:So how do I get my hands on a Azbat exactly? I haven't seen one offered at any vendors or on any opponent wielding that belt-fed buckshot spewing monstrosity. On Ranger mode I found a couple laying around and saw it in some stores (I'm pretty sure they had it in the refugees trapped in the tunnel store, because I think that's where I slapped upgrades on mine). I think it doesn't show up on regular mode. Coughing Hobo posted:As much as I love the Ashot, I'm too in love with the animations of the Shambler.

Your use of the word "room" makes me think not, but this sounds like a boss fight later on in the game that takes place outside. Dogen fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Jun 11, 2013 |

I think that particular fight is a "forced" region as there is no way to progress without taking out the upper ring of guys.

Yes there is, if you wait long enough they will start popping out on the ground level, and the doors will open. Do not blow your no-kill playthrough by killing here. Literally the only person you have to kill in the game is the flamethrower dude, it's possible (on easy difficulty) to even get through the chase without killing anybody.

Someone a few pages back mentioned killing the riot shield guys and still getting the achievement. Since it's the end of the game it's not like you'd have to replay a large amount to test it.

Did you kill anyone at any point in your playthrough and then restart a checkpoint? Apparently any kill you make in a playthrough still counts against you even if you restart a checkpoint/chapter.

Yes, as confirmed by 4A, the only human enemies you may kill without invalidating the achievement are those found on the 'Chase', 'Red Square' and 'D6' levels. As has been noted, once this achievement is invalidated for a playthrough, reloading from a checkpoint will NOT restore your progress; you must instead restart the entire game. Life in the Metro is.. unforgiving.

Not being in love with my weapon load out has helped a lot with being low on ammo. It does kind of make upgrading your weapons pointless though.

Does the game force the 100 military rounds on you if you buy the Ranger pack? I'm considering picking up this game, but only if I don't have to deal with contradictory (BUY THIS MODE THAT MAKES THE GAME HARDER! also you get a bunch of bullets at the start to make the game easier if you do) bullshit.

Ranger mode isn't necessarily harder, just different. And if it really bothers you you can just fire off those 100 rounds at the very beginning.

Actually, Ranger mode is way easier than any of the normal modes on any difficulty. Things actually dying when you shoot them tends to make things easier.

Isn't the Abzats is what you get from buying the Season pass? You can get it in D6, and you can pick it up from: the Depot and Quarantine vendors, and for free somewhere in the Dead City level. Pretty sure it shows up in all modes.Stuntman posted:Does the game force the 100 military rounds on you if you buy the Ranger pack?

Yeah, it's hard to finish Metro 2033 with less than 500 MGR unless you're buying random guns left and right.

I forgot MGR's were an actual ammo type in 2033. In last light, I actually had to dip into them after that loving cavern boss. At least now I know how to conserve ammo there.

I think part of the problem is there isn't really anything worth buying. You get everything you need from scavenging, more-or-less. If we were a 'normal' citizen I bet keeping so much ammo would be difficult. It's not like we have a family, house, or have to buy food. That's one way to rationalize having so much.

The one time I ever used a store was to buy and upgrade a Valve to the best extent I could with all my money, lo and behold I take less then 15 steps into the next level and there is an even better Valve sitting out in the open. I didn't pick it up out of stubborn refusal to waste 130 MGR's and I carried my purchased Valve for the rest of the game, never dropping it even after it ran out of ammo several dozen times. Never touched a gun store again. There needs to be a far greater incentive to spend rounds, I think more guns and upgrades that can only be purchases from the gun store would accomplish this. So people don't end up getting a laser-sight reflexed Valve at the first store that sells them and stumbling across a laser-sight 4x Valve with a flash suppressor 30 seconds later for free.

Great news, everyone, the RPK is available for purchase on Steam for just 99 cents! I mean, only the most pitiable of souls would drop a dollar on a preorder gun that's already present in the game data! I certainly wouldn't! I did.

After cursory testing i have decided that the one true way to play this game is as a Trader. That is: Sell all your ammo and weapons ever time you find a vendor. And don't you think about shooting that military grade stuff, you need that to bathe in when you come home to your Hansa mansion. I recommend hardcore.

With the laser sight and the 2x scope you have short-medium and long range covered, and the drum mag is nice for infinite mutant attack while you wait on some slow rear end transportation to come to you sections.

The section on the swamp can be avoided by turning on the generator and just running off back toward that broken concrete arch and staying under it. Once the machine turns off, the creatures will go away. Run in, turn it back on, repeat. Then just go hop on when it arrives.

Was thinking more of the bell ringing section, and driving forward while shooting backwards.

This loving boss fight at the swamp is making me want to fly to Ukraine and punch the devs in the face. It was a bitch to beat in normal mode but now that I am replaying in Ranger difficulty I can't seem to pass this thing. I wasted all my shotgun and assault rifle ammo on the thing and it seems to keep coming. This is not even the final section of the fight but the second time you fight him after crossing over with the boat. Is there a trick to beating this poo poo boss I am not aware of?

keyframe posted:This loving boss fight at the swamp is making me want to fly to Ukraine and punch the devs in the face. gently caress this thing, it probably took me ten tries to kill on ranger. I ended up ending the fight in like 30 seconds. Try to get it to walk over a nade or claymore. This can stun it for a few seconds, so use the time to continue to blow it the gently caress up and get close before dumping everything you can into its stomach. I used almost every single bullet and grenade I had on it, but if you do it right it will barely get a chance to do anything at all. It will get repeatedly stunned and staggered. The problem was that if I missed more than the tiniest amount of shots I would run completely out of ammo... one attempt had me knifing it for a good 5 minutes before I just gave up.

I think hitting it in it's open mouth does extra damage as well. Use claymores and grenades. Ignore all of the little ones your fellow rangers should take care of those relatively quickly. I didn't have too much trouble with this thing. Maybe you're not damaging it when you think you should be?

Before triggering the fight set up a line of claymores leading back to where you came from, facing the church. When the boss comes out slowly walk backward on this line. It will die.
