We will have two playthroughs, one completely non-lethal run on Easy with stealth focus, and another Ranger Hardcore kill-all run.
Unlike Redux, we will NOT have to search for keys and safes, burn cobwebs or hit every lever in the game. We will HAVE to disarm trip wires, unscrew light bulbs and destroy them as well.

The guide contains MAJOR SPOILERS

As in Metro 2033, we will have to get a kill with every weapon available in the main campaign for the Gunslinger achievement. We will manage to get this in the first non-lethal run. I recommend you to copy this list and keep as a checklist so that you cross out the weapons you had made kills with. The list has Russian naming as well for conveniency.

• Trench Knife – Нож
• Throving Knives - Метательный нож
• Bastard - Ублюдок
• Lolife - Подонок
• Revolver - Револьвер
• Kalash - Калаш
• Kalash 2012 - Калаш 2012
• VSV - ВСВ
• Preved - Превед
• Valve - Вентиль
• Ashot – Ашот
• Duplet - Дуплет
• Saiga - Сайга-12
• Shambler - Убойник
• Helsing - Хельсинг
• Tikhar - Тихарь
• Gatling - Гатлинг
• Claymore Mine - Противопехотная мина
• Grenade - Граната
• Incendiary Grenade - Зажигательная граната

The guide contains info about unlocking Gunslinger achievement by describing where you can find the weapons without purchasing them at the vendors. You can purchase the missing ones if you want of course. The guide will also indicate when you need to perform the kills.

IMPORTANT. During our first playthrough we will be going for the Shadow Ranger achievement, therefore you cannot kill any human enemy. You cannot accidentally or intentionally kill a human. Killing someone and then loading previous save file will lock the achievement and you will have to start a New Game to get the achievement, so make sure you do not kill any human. Only on level D6 will you be allowed to shoot down the tank and kill the flamethrower guy. Some say, kills on Chase, Red Square, and D6 do not count against the achievement, you can try it on your own risk. Still, it is better to just rush to the enemies and knock them out, that‘s why this playthrough is on Easy difficulty.

MP #2: Wait inside Artyom's room & listen to the man playing a guitar across the hall for a few minutes for another Moral Point. (2-4ish)

MP #3: Now walk outside Artyom’s room & listen to the two Rangers discussing the significance of D6, one of them is in a wheelchair.

MP #4: Proceed to a room with two people playing checkers. There's balalaika behind them. Play it to get a Moral point.

MI #2: Playing the balalaika gives us a musical instrument point.

Achievement #1 – Rabbit: Complete training sequence in the Sparta Level.

MP #5: At the start of the Level, walk to the back of the train near the rear control console for a Moral Point.

MP #6: Once you & Anna reach a ladder, continue past it down the right further into the tunnel. Burn some cobwebs to get at the corpses to find a Moral Point.

Note #2: After receiving the Moral Point for the corpses, look to your right in the same area. The Note will be on the ground in the back right corner beside a corpse in a blue coat.

MP #7: Once you reach the surface follow Anna towards the ruins. Stay with her until she begins climbing to her sniping position for a Moral Point.


Achievement #2 – Not A Rabbit: Finish the Ashes Level without taking a hit.
Do not get hit by any Watchmen in this first encounter to unlock the Achievement. This may take a few tries, if you get hit just reload the last checkpoint BEFORE you kill them all otherwise it will save after you’ve fought them. There is around 10-12 Watchmen, just remember to always reload your weapon at a break in their waves. The Achievement won’t unlock until after you beat the Level. If you succeeded, Anna will ask if you are alright & say “Maybe you are more than a rabbit after all.”


Remember, do not kill any humans, only knock them out.

Note #3: After the section where you & Pavel climb up the ladders in the prison block, you will climb through a pipe that leads to some Throwing Knives. Take the knives & turn around, head straight down along the wall to find the Note sitting on some boxes.

When you pull the lever to release the prisoners back in the cell block it will unlock this Achievement.


Do not kill any human enemies, we can only knock them out.

Note #4: As soon you begin the Level, head straight past the fence walls, the Note will be on a table to the left of the escalators.


Achievement #4 – Clean Escape: Escape the chasing Nazis on the Reich Level without being caught once.

During the chase sequence when Pavel disrupts the Fuhrer’s speech, do not get caught by any of the Nazi’s. If you did this successfully the Achievement will unlock after you board the rail cart & drive away.

Negative Moral Point: When you climb aboard the rail cart there is a Nazi who surrenders after the chase sequence. When you regain given control of Artyom, DO NOT kill him as it will result in a Negative Moral Point towards the “Evil Ending”.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is a total stealth Level; you must complete it without killing anyone or raising the alarm to unlock Invisible Intruder Achievement. Knocking people out is allowed & will not void the Achievement. If a guard flicks his light on or starts patrolling, you have most likely been discovered & failed the Achievement.

Note #5: After Pavel is captured & you enter the compound beyond the mechanical doors, you will found the note located on the 2nd floor of the guards building on the computer panels.

Negative Moral Point: You will open a door after completing the guard compound section & a man lying on a bed will see you & surrender. Being seen by him is guaranteed but doesn’t void Invisible Intruder Achievement. DO NOT kill him as it gives you a Negative Moral Point towards the “Evil Ending”.

Note #6: After the man on the bed surrenders, look to the left inside the same room & you’ll see the Note on top of a dresser.

MP #9: If you did not kill anyone on this Level, you will unlock a Moral Point after passing the surrendering Nazi & climbing through the open grate.


Achievement #5 – Invisible Intruder: Complete the Separation Level without killing or raising the alarm.
The Achievement should unlock once you enter the vent if you were successful. If it did not unlock, you will have to restart the whole Level unfortunately.


Once again, for this Level you must beat it without killing anyone or raising the alarm to unlock Invisible Saviour Achievement. Again, you can knock people out, just do not kill them & do not cause them to start searching for you or even see you.

MP #10: When you begin the Level after Artyom exits the air vent, round the corner & watch the scene where a Nazi punches another soldier in the face & berates him for a Point.

MP #11: After the last Moral Point, head down the hall & listen to the conversation between two Nazis talking about a stashed custom weapon.

MP #12: After they finish their conversation, follow the Nazi heading back to the locker room & when he opens his locker, knock him out & take the weapon.


Achievement #6 – A Present: Take the Custom Pistol from the Locked Box.
Picking up the weapon from the locker unlocks this achievement.

MP #13: Now head back to the main room & take the metal stairs leading up above the center chamber. Listen to the two Nazis on the catwalk fixing the light system.
MI #3: In the main area, where you have seen a soldier being brutalized by his allies, the accordion is on a stool by a table and some bunks.

MP #14: When you go & open a door, the Nazi who was being bullied previously will be crouching on the ground inside a freezer. He will see you, but like the Reading Nazi who surrendered on the last Level, this guy is alright too. If you leave him be you will receive a Moral Point when you exit through the vent on the other side of the room.

Negative Moral Point: If you’re a (censored by Steam) & kill the Nazi in the freezer room, you will get a Negative Moral Point towards the “Evil Ending”.

MP #15: After the vent, you will enter a room full of plants & bathtubs. Carry on into the next area & over a rickety bridge. On your right there’s an air vent next to the guy in a chair. When you enter it you will receive a Moral Point.

Note #7: At the far end of the room is a small metal cage area you have to take a set of stairs to get up to. The lever to open the door to progress is here however if you turn around to your left there is another small room. The Note is to your left on a table.

MP #16: When you exit through the metal door & approach a Trip Wire, if you haven’t killed anyone you will trigger the next Moral Point.

Trip Wire #1: Be sure to disarm this Trip Wire as we will need 10 of them for the Ever Vigilant Achievement.


Achievement #7 – Invisible Savior: Complete the Facility Level without killing or raising the alarm.
When you exit through the wall & get the cinematic of Artyom climbing you should unlock the Achievement if you successfully fulfilled it.


Gunslinger: Head down tracks & check body on left side of tracks there is an Ashot with an extended barrel. Next Doorway on left has a Lolife on floor - pick them up.

For this Level, remember to cause the Spiders to go belly up with your Flashlight before you kill them.

MP #17: Drop down from the grate & follow Pavel down the cobweb filled corridors. When you reach an elevator look to the left of it & burn the webs away. You will find a small stash of ammo & a Medkit next to two skeletons as well as a Moral Point.

Negative Moral Point: In the elevator with Pavel, leave your flashlight on throughout the ride otherwise you’ll earn a Negative Moral Point.

MP #18: When attacked, fending off the Spiders with Artyom's flashlight in the elevator earns a Moral Point.

MP #19: As soon as you exit the elevator Pavel will be attacked by a Spider. Kill it quickly to earn a Moral Point.

Note #8: When you climb on top of the train, Pavel will save you from a Spider. As soon as you regain control, you will see the Note is right in front of you on the ground.

Note #9: After Pavel stops at the door, he tells Artyom to find a way to open it. Follow the path down the right & in a small space to your left there will be a dead body with a Note on it.

Gunslinger: Do not get the Duplet here, just stick with the Lolife and Ashot to kill the Watchmen.

Note #10: As soon as the Level begins, you will see a Note on your left lying on top the bar counter.


Achievement #8 – First Draft: Write 10 of Artyom's hidden Diary pages.
Unlocks after collecting 10th note.

MP #20: After you & Pavel reach the surface you will walk down an airplane wing down to the ground, turn left & look for a sewage pipe. At the end of a pipe is a skeleton & a Moral Point.

MP #21: After leaving the pipe, walk to the far left corner of this first area towards the downed blue plane. The skeleton lying right in front of its opened side will give you a Moral Point.

MP #22: When you enter the old train station, you’ll come across a skeleton with spiders on it. Artyom will crush one off his mask. Once you regain control, walk a little bit more forward & enter a room on your right with a blood trail leading into it. Entering it earns a Moral Point.

MP #23: Enter the service room further down the tunnel. Take the Duplet on the table for a cinematic & of course, a Moral Point.

MP #24: Letting the Watchmen herd pass by without being spotted earns you a Moral Point. If you alert the Watchmen however, you will earn a Negative Moral Point so be careful!


Achievement #9 – Mouse: Complete the Echoes Level undetected by the Watchmen.
When you find the herd of Watchmen running in front of you at the end of the station, don’t shoot them & let them pass to earn this Achievement.

MP #25: Walk into the plane by opening the emergency door with Pavel. As you walk down the isles with him, you will have hallucinations of the passengers. Walking towards the cockpit will earn you a Moral Point.

Note #11: Near the entrance to the cockpit, when you leave the last rows of isles behind, you can see this Note laying on the floor to your right behind a spider web. Burn the web & pick it up.

The Note can also be collected after seeing the flashback of the crashing plane. You can grab it before or after helping Pavel with his mask, just don’t forget to pick it up if you wait till then.


MP #26: Pavel will lead us out to some train tracks. Before following him right, stop & listen to the family members & the guards speaking to one another at the end of the line for a Moral Point.

MI #4: Before entering the improvised door, covered by cloth, there‘s a balalaika to the right of you by the benches. Play it to earn musical instrument score.

Note #12: After passing the train tracks, head through the fabric cover at the checkpoint to see the Note on a bunk bed on your left.

MP #27 / #28: Passing the checkpoint & just before walking into the bar, you will see a beggar sitting on the ground. Put a big fat Bullet into his collection box to receive a Moral Point. Putting another Bullet into his box after listening to him speak will award you a second Moral Point as well...

MP #29: Walk into the bar & stand beside the two gentleman sitting at a table to the right of the bar. Listen to their conversation to earn a Moral Point.

MI #5: Proceed a little further down the hall and you will find a guitar leaning on a chair to the left of you. Play it for another point.

MP #30: Carry on a little ways out of the bar & listen to the two stalkers telling Katja that her husband was killed by a Demon. Listening earns you a Moral Point.

MP #31: Watching him till he gives up earns you another Moral Point.

MP #32: After watching Mischa turn around and listen to the two children speaking. When they finish, follow them to the train tracks, all the way to the couple sitting behind a fence. Listen to them talk about the army to earn a Moral Point.

Alternatively, you may be able to listen to them speak right at the start & wait until the children arrive to receive the Moral Point. I am not sure if the children are the same ones that were listening to Mischa or not...
Proceed further into the market. You can sell the excess ammo you‘ve got and extra weapons you had already kills with. This would give us extra cash toward the 1,000 bullets achievement.

MI #6: It is lying on the last market stall on the left, by the entrance to the theatre area.

Note #13: Enter the theater area through the left entrance & you will see the Note sitting on a bench to your left.


Achievement #10 – Parton of the Arts: Watch the entire Theater Show on the Bolshoi Level.
The whole show takes about 10 and a half minutes so either sit & enjoy the show… go make some food or stare at your phone. Whatever you do, if you come back & the announcer is just standing off to the side, check your Achievements & you will have it in no time.

MP #33: Watching the entire theater show earns a Moral Point as well.

MP #34: As you enter the backstage area with Pavel, listen to the dancer talk about another girl’s boyfriend to earn a Moral Point.

MP #35: When you leave the backstage area, Pavel will walk towards a table in red. Instead of joining him, carry on past the trains on your right till you come across two ladies in a bathroom. Listen to their conversation to earn a Moral Point, because Artyom knows being a peeping tom is very morally just…

MI #7: Before joining Pavel at the table, look to the right and you will see a Balalaika on the floor. Even though it sounds like a Guitar, play it to earn a Musical Instrument point.



Achievement #11 – Within a Hair of Death: Escape from the Red Line on the Korbut Level.
Story Related. After Lenya frees you from the Reds at the start of the Level you will unlock this Achievement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Gunslinger: Check the locker when you retrieve your gear: there is a Duplet here if you look carefully. When you meet the first enemy soldiers, wait for the first one to go down the stairs and knock out the other two. Pick up Kalash.

Beat this Level without killing anyone or raising the alarm to unlock the Invisible Soldier achievement.

MP #37: Leave the storage room you start in at the beginning of this Level & go downstairs to listen to the guard reporting in on the intercom. Do not knock him out until he has finished.

Note #14: To the left of the guard, where he was speaking to an intercom, there‘s a Note lying on a table.

MI #8: Behind the same table, on a chair, is a Balalaika, play it.


Achievement #12 – Edison: Turn off 40 Lights without breaking them.
I unlocked this Achievement during this. You might have unlocked it earlier or will unlock later, it depends whether you were restarting levels a lot as I did.

MP #38: After entering the first large room, keep to the right & you’ll climb along a few boxes. Enter a vent and keep moving until you enter another room. In this room, on the left side you will find a door. Go through the door & you will end up in a barracks. Listen to the two Reds talking about the Level Front Line from Metro 2033.

Note #15: In the next room with the Red doing pull ups, you will find the Note on a shelf to your right.

MI #9: In the room to the left of the guy doing pullups, there‘s a soldier sitting in front of a piano. Play it for a musical instrument point.

MP #39: Go further through the large metal door to re-enter that large room, sneak around to the far right near an engineer working a crane. Listen to him talk with another soldier before he goes & takes a smoke break for a Moral Point.

Gunslinger: Proceed to the door to your right. Climb the ladder on the right side of the large room you enter and proceed to the other side of the room on the catwalks. Turn left and you will find Tikhar.

MP #40: Listen to the soldiers complete their four tests up in the control room. Sometimes the engineers are not proceeding to the 4th checkup place. Try going down the underground tunnel and follow the engineers then. When they call a smoke break you will receive a Moral Point.

Note #16: Move to the far left area of the large room & climb a ladder up to a control room, you will find the Note on the computer panels next to the switch you have to pull to turn off the large fan.

Once you exit the tunnels & leave through the vent at the end of the Level, you should unlock the Achievement if you completed this Level successfully.

1. Complete Regina
2. Notes: 18/43
3. Moral Points: 49/98
4. Musical Instruments: 11/17
5. Trip Wires: 1/10
6. Achievements: 16/70
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


For the Scram achievement, we cannot let a single Watchman board the Regina at all for the entire Level. If any do, restart your last Checkpoint immediately, as if you progress too far accidentally a new Checkpoint will activate & you will have to restart the entire Level. To make things easier, you might want to use Military Grade Bullets in your Weapons to kill the Watchmen faster. I never do this as Bullets are scarce, but it may give you the edge you need if you cannot seem to take them down quick enough.

MP #43: After boarding Regina & exiting Andrew's home at the start of the Level, drive a little ways down the track & get out when the game prompts you to. Entering the area on your left with the lamp on the desk earns a Moral Point.

MI #11: In the same room you will find an accordion to your right, play it for a musical instrument point.

MP #44: A little ways down the tunnel, again to the left hand side there is a door under a flickering light with a mask hung up beside it. Enter through the door & past the Spider nest to get to a glowing red room at the end with a light switch.


Achievement #14 – Tortoise: Make 10 Spiders flip belly-up.
If you have been diligent with your Spiders, you may unlock this Achievement around here, if not, do not worry. Plenty more Spiders to come, you should be getting close.


Achievement #15 – Tesla: Break 50 Lights.
I‘ve unlocked this achievement at this point, you may have unlocked it earlier or will unlock later, no worries. Just make sure you shoot or knife every light source on your way. You can leave the lights be on stealth levels, you will have plenty to destroy in other chapters.

MP #45: Continue onward for a time down the tunnel before finding another doorway on the left with glowing green mushrooms growing off it. This doorway leads into a partly submerged area. Follow it to the end & at the back on the right will be a room with some ammo & a skeleton where you’ll receive a Moral Point.

Gunslinger: Inside the flooded room Bastard on a corpse‘s back. Swap it with the Tikhar. Don‘t worry, we will come back for it later.

MP #46: Carry on down the left path after flicking the switch back, stop Regina just at the next intersection & climb out. Head left through the broken train & earn a Moral Point when you reach the end. Watch out behind you though!

MP #47: Just before you start pushing the train with Regina stop & go to the right side of the tunnel through a doorway where a gas mask hangs from the wall with a filter. Enter the passage & witness a Watchman run away to earn this Moral Point.

Gunslinger: Kill the Watchmen here with the Kalash and Bastard. Inside the room there is a Shambler, pick it up. Now go all the way back to get the Tikhar.

As soon as you start pushing the train WATCH OUT! Watchmen will drop behind you & you cannot let them board Regina or it will void the Scram achievement. I would recommend switching to Premium Ammo if you have a good supply, just helps kill them that much faster.

Gunslinger: You will be attacked by Watchmen from behind - kill them with Tikhar and Shambler.

MP #48: A ways down the tunnel after the second wave of Watchmen while your pushing the train you will see a doorway on your right (if you’re looking behind you). This area is filled with shadows & at the end of the room you’ll receive a Moral Point.

MP #49: After the third wave of Watchmen, you will eventually come to a doorway on your left (if your looking backwards) that is marked by some green glowing mushrooms. As you’re making your way down the flooded tunnel, you’ll receive this Moral Point just before reaching the dead end.

Gunslinger: You will find watchmen in this area, kill one with the Trench Knife. You can shoot them with other weapons just to injure them so that knifing would be easier. Also try to get a kill with Throwing Knife, and Grenade as well with the similar tactic.

Note #18: In the same area at this dead end, you will find this Note is at the back of the room on a dead body.


Achievement #16 – Scram: Kill the Watchmen attacking the Railcar without taking any damage on the Regina Level.
Be sure to restart right away if any Watchmen board the rail cart because if you finish the sequence & fail, you cannot reload your Last Checkpoint. You will have to restart the whole Level which can be very frustrating. There are Checkpoints along the way that you will reload to, the Note will stay collected as well which is nice, but you may need to re-grab Moral Points if it takes you to before you found them. It will unlock after you push the train to the end & have to change directions of the tracks.

1. Complete Bandits, Dark Waters, Venice, Sundown, & Nightfall
2. Notes: 25/43
3. Moral Points: 63/98

6. Achievements: 24/70
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Do not be discovered by the bandits & save all the refugees without any of them dying on this Level for the Commando Achievement. Also, we cannot kill any human enemies, only knock them out.

MP #50: When you first begin the Level, turn around & crawl under the wooden beams behind Regina. A Moral Point is earned after discovering the skeleton there.

MP #51: After crashing through the wall & meeting the refugee caravan, stick around & listen to their conversation to earn a Moral Point. The last conversation is of a woman whose husband was taken by Nazi’s.

Sell your weapons and all the ammo you had to get us closer to the 1,000 bullets achievement. We will find new weapons and ammo by knocking out enemies further on.

MP #52: Drive down the tunnel until you see tunnel on the right just before the large passageway, this will lead to a series of abandoned train cars. A woman is crying for help & about to be raped by two bandits. Knock them out before they kill her to earn a Moral Point.


Achievement #17 – Walking Bank: Collect 1000 Military Rounds.
This should be the earliest moment where you could earn this achievement. I did it by making a few runs to sell the weapons of the bandits to the refugees at the beginning of the level. It is definitelly not necessary and you would collect the 1,000 later on, but I just love seeing cash flow.


Achievement #18 – Businessman: Make 100 Purchases.
You can also get this achievement here after collecting 1,000 military rounds. The easiest way to do it is to buy and sell Throwing Knives, because their buy/sale price is equal to 1.

Gunslinger: At some point you will find Ashot on one of the knocked out guards, pick it up.

Note #19: As you continue down the right tunnel from the main chamber, you will come across some bandits & a tied up man. Be sure to untie him. Ride down across the radiation pools after he opens the path & there will be a bathroom on your right. Park the railcar further from the entrance, because soon after you enter, enemy guard will go investigate and them finding Regina might void Commando achievement. The Note is on the floor in the furthest right stall.

MP #53: As you pass through the metal gate & dispatch two patrolling bandits, get out at the junction & switch the tracks to the left. Get out at the dead end & walk up to the tram with all the dead refugees to unlock this Moral Point.

Note #20: Now head back & switch the tracks. You will hear screaming coming from a passage on your right. Go through the door & follow the path down past a kitchen until you come to a guy tied up just outside where a woman is being beaten, the Note is on a table behind him.

MP #54: Go through the door & rescue the poor woman & child being held in the last room of the bandit camp. The Moral Point is earned when the bandit threatening them is killed or knocked out.


Achievement #19 – Commando: Rescue the women & children on the Bandits Level without raising the alarm.
When you kill or knock out the bandit with the woman & child you should unlock the Achievement if you were never detected. Be sure you saved the other two refugees earlier on in the Level as well.

Gunslinger: After ramming the last barricaded exit with Regina, you will meet mutants. Get a kill with Ashot and Incendiary Grenade. To help with the latter, try landing a few shots to mutants to injure, but not kill them, and then throw the grenade to finish them off.


Note #21: As soon as you start the Level, turn around face the front of the boat, it’s on a box.

MP #55: A Morale Point will be earned at the end of the Level.


Note #22: When you start the Level, there will be a man who jumps onto your boat. After the boat stops at port, follow that man back to his desk. The Note is to the left of him.

MP #56: Leave his office & turn left. Two children will be drawing on a wall near an alley, give a Bullet to a beggar in the middle of this alley.

MP #57: Directly across the river from this beggar is another alley near a boat where to men are pushing a pig in a crate. There is another beggar in this alley near a guitarist, be sure to give this guy a Bullet too.

Negative Moral Point: Taking the 20 Bullets located on-board the boat of a sleeping fisherman would result in a Negative Moral Point. The boat is on the left corner of the dock. Don’t take the Bullets, or you will get a point towards the “Evil Ending”.

MP #58: Turn around & head back the way where that man’s office is & head to the bar. Buy & drink the bartender's special, "The Bullet." But do not stop drinking here…

MP #59: If you drink all 3 shots, you’ll blackout. When you come to back at the bar, the place will be wrecked & the bartender will be pretty mad. Listen to him mumble & if you pay him 100 Bullets for the damage you’ll get a Moral Point.

MP #60: Pay 10 Bullets to use the shooting range & walk up to start shooting to earn this Moral Point.

MP #61: If you complete all three challenges at the shooting range, you will be awarded a teddy bear. Just what you’ve always wanted! Turn around & head down a nearby alley to return it to a crying child to receive the Moral Point.

MP #62: Completing the Level without killing OR knocking out any of the bandits in the storage area, without being detected will earn you a Moral Point. You will receive it as you enter the door on the far side & meet up with Pavel.


Gunslinger: This is the best place to get grenade kills if you missed those earlier. Use grenades, incendiary grenades and Claymore Mines to kill the shrimp. Incendiary grenades will instantly kill any shrimp. The Amphibians will take more than a grenade to take down so fire at it first and lay down claymores while backpedalling.


Achievement #21 – Soup: Kill 5 Shrimp with Grenades.
We will need to kill 5 shrimp for this achievement. The kills have to be made one after another, without killing anything else in between or the counter would be reset. Don‘t mistake Shrimps with Amphibians though. Shrimps are the smallers ones, which spit at you from a distance.


Achievement #22 – Diver: Fall in the Swamp 10 times
The fastest way to get this achievement is to dive into the swamp 10 times with reloading. The first dive is always safe, but if you dive a second time in a short period of time – you will be eaten by a Shrimp. You can go through the level and once in a while jump into the deep water to avoid reloading, just make sure you count those jump and get the 10 before you leave the Sundown and Nightfall.

For the achievement Equipped, we will need to find 16 stashes in the swamps, first 9 are on the Sundown level, the rest 7 we will find on Nightfall. Collecting the stash is not required, the player only has to open the stash boxes for the achievement to count.

Equipped Stash 1/16: Head to the guard tower and pick up first stash

Equipped Stash 2/16: To the right of the guard tower, there will be metal garages, one of them will be open. Enter it, defuse the Trip Wire and collect the stash.

Note #24: Continue to the left side of the map, you will find a tanker, behind of which will be a gas station. In the right side of the gas station, inside, you will find the Note on top of a desk.

Equipped Stash 4/16: Turn around and you will find a metal box on the ground in a corner with the stash inside.

Equipped Stash 5/16: Head outside from the side, that is closer to the Note that we have collected. Climb on top of the gas station to find another stash.

Equipped Stash 6/16: Directly in front of you, across the water, you will see a long building with multiple entrances. To the right side you will fine a hole in the wall with a Trip Wire in it. Disarm it and enter to collect the stash.

Gunslinger: In the same room we will find Kalash 2012, pick it up and kill a Shrimp with it.


Achievement #23 – Antibiotic: Kill 100 Mutants.
I unlocked this achievement at this point. You might have unlocked it earlier or will unlock later, no worries, we will have plenty of mutants to kill later on.

Equipped Stash 7/16: Now go to the landed plane, which is located on the other side of the map. Climb on top of the plane and go straight through plane wings. On the other side you will find a metal box in a corner of a brick wall, stash is inside.

Equipped Stash 8/16: Head inside the plane and go to the cockpit, you will find stash there.

Equipped Stash 9/16: The box is next to the generator that would power the ferry.


Equipped Stash 10/16: As you start the level, directly in front of you will be a building. Go to the downstairs radiated area. You will find the stash at the end of the corridor.

Trip Wire #5 & #6: On the second floor of this same building, there are two Trip Wires side by side. Be sure to disarm them.

Equipped Stash 11/16: It will be located in the room where Anna is calling you on the radio. The stash box will be on the left side after you open the door to the room.

Note #25: The Note will be on the floor in the same room.

Equipped Stash 12/16: Leave the house and go straight forward, you will find a bus. Inside will be a box with stash.

Equipped Stash 13/16: Continue through the level. After you meet Bog Shrimp again and he charges you, you will find a truck with Ranger‘s symbol on the side of it. Inside will be a stash.

MP #63: When you reach the mall, get to the second floor and approach the entrance with Ranger‘s symbol on the wall, you will earn a Moral Point.

Equipped Stash 14/16: Enter the room, you will find a red box with a stash inside.

Trip Wire #7, #8, #9: On the other side of the escalators you will find three Trip Wires close to each other. Disarm them.

Equipped Stash 15/16: Next to the Trip Wires will be a room with a couch, you will find the stash in a yellow box on a small table.

Equipped Stash 16/16: As you exit the mall from the second floor, you will see a white truck with Ranger‘s symbol right below you. The stash is inside the truck.

Achievement #25 – Weapon Smith: Install all possible Customizations for a Weapon.

The achievement is tricky, some attachments do not count for the achievement, such as Laser Sight, try changing it for something else and you should be able to unlock the achievement easily.

While you are riding with Khan, do not shoot at the enemies, just crouch and use medkits when needed. You can start using medkits after Khan blows up a railcar in front of you if you are playing on Easy, because you won't die from shots until after this moment.

Note #30: After you jump onto the train, run toward enemies and knock them out. Make your way through the Red soldiers, you will come to a closed train car with some blue crates. The Note is on top of the first crate on your right. If the Note does not appear on the blue crates – reload to last checkpoint, because apparently it has been destroyed.

Once you fall from the zip line & enter the tunnels once again, if you did not kill any of the mutants you should unlock this Achievement.


Trip Wire #11: When the Level begins, exit the tunnel & head left past a shack & towards a garage. Follow the garage past the trains & into the bay doors. Enter in a crumbled section on your left, the Trip Wire will be just inside the doorway to the garage entrance. If you have followed the guide correctly, you should have unlocked the achievement earlier and you wouldn‘t need to search for Trip Wires anymore.

MP #83: Entering the garage earns a Moral Point as well.

Gunslinger: You can buy Preved at the vendor, but it is not necessary as we will eventually find the weapon on our own.

In this Level, we have to find the 7 Visions for the Back to the Past achievement, just an extra collectible to find on this Level.

Story Related. Watch the Vision sequence with General Moskvin, & after he confesses to killing his brother you will earn this Achievement.


Do not kill any human enemies on this level apart from destroying the tank and killing the flamethrower guy. Simply hide behind the barricades and wait until your allies clear the enemies out and new scripted sequences begin. Make sure you stay safe, because we cannot die on this level for the True Spartan achievement. If you still die, you can always replay the level from the chapter selection.

Note #42: When the final Level begins, Miller will make a speech, afterwards head towards the radio on your immediate right to find the Note beside it.

Note #43: After the battle with the tank, head up to the third platform, the final Note will be beside the ammo box to your right.


Achievement #38 – Published: Collect all 43 of Artyom’s hidden Diary pages.
If you successfully collected all 43 Notes in the game, you will receive this Achievement. If you didn’t, the game will have recorded which ones you have & have not picked up. Be sure to use Chapter Select & snag the ones you missed before starting the second playthrough. It will delete all your Note progress.

MP #98: One final point will be awarded if the you succeed in receiving the “Good Ending”. Kind of redundant at this point though don’t you think?


Achievement #39 – Redemption: Save D6.
If you successfully found the majority of the Moral Points & did not kill any major characters you should receive the Good Ending.


Achievement #40 – True Spartan: Hold the Platform without dying.
If you did not die on this level, the achievement will pop during the last cutscene. If you did die – just load the chapter and replay it on Easy.


Achievement #41 – Shadow Ranger: Complete the game without killing any Humans unless forced to.
You should unlock this achievement if you hadn‘t killed a single human enemy in this game, apart from the flamethrower guy and tank on D6 level. Reloading won‘t help you restore the achievement, so if you have killed someone accidentally – you will have to start a New Game as did I, because I didn‘t know this condition when I was starting and just shot one guy for fun, then reloaded.


Achievement #42 – Gunslinger: Kill at least one Enemy with each Weapon available in the game.
After you have secured the main achievements, and most importantly Shadow Ranger, replay D6 level once again, but now we will kill a human enemy with Gatling minigun. Once you have got acess to the minigun, use it against the first wave infantry. As soon as you get one kill – the achievement will unlock. If not – that means you have missed a kill with one of the weapons from the list. But don‘t worry, you can easily catch up with this achievement in our second playthrough, or replay chapters to have a kill with each weapon once again.

1. Complete “Evil Ending”
2. Derailed Achievement

Achievement #45 – Soldier: Kill 100 Human enemies.
You should be able to unlock this achievement during this playthrough even without reloading.


Achievement #46 – Inferno: Set 2 Enemies on fire at once.
The achievement actually means setting two Humans on fire at once. It doesn‘t have to be with a single Incendiary grenade, just make sure there are two Human enemies burning at the same time.



Achievement #47 – Derailed: Kill all armed enemies on the Revolution Level, including all reinforcements.
This will be the hardest Achievement to get in this playthrough. A lot of soldiers are easy to miss so go slow. If you are unsure if you have cleared an area out, fire off some shots to see if anyone turns up.

There are 6 sections with enemies & approximately 61 soldiers to kill. Be sure to alert the soldiers in the 3 large rooms so they sound the alarm summoning the heavy soldiers. If you are too fast at killing everyone, the alarm will not get turned on & the heavys will not show up.

The first area has 3 soldiers, the large room afterwards has 2 workers, 13 soldiers, & 2 heavys from the alarm.

In the area behind this accessed through the vent or the lever opened door there are 9 soldiers.
Head through the wheel locked door with the green light & into the warehouse section to kill 9 soldiers & 2 heavys from the alarm.

Head through the vent & into the next warehouse with the blue lights to kill 11 soldiers & 4 heavys this time. There are two doors they can be summoned from.

Leave through the wheel locked door in the back to enter the tunnel where the last 2 soldiers are. Beyond that door 4 heavys will walk through. Kill them & you should unlock the Derailed achievement.



Achievement #48 – Bloodlust: Kill all the Reds on the THE CHASE level.
Shoot all the enemies you come across. Once you kill the last armoured guy, the achievement should unlock.

Finishing the game on this difficulty will unlock these two difficulty achievements, they will pop up during the last cutscene.


Achievement #51 – Ranger Elite: Complete the game in Ranger Mode.

If you killed the major characters & barely collected any Moral Points during any crucial sequences you will unlock the Evil Ending & destroy D6.

1. Complete all 9 DLC Levels
2. Achievements: 70/70
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now all that should be left is the 9 DLC Levels, 2 achievements per level. The levels vary in difficulty, but it‘s best advised to play on Easy as some are challenging even on that difficulty.



Achievement #53 – Hom o Homini Lupus Est: Kill 100 enemies with heavy weapons.
Pretty straight forward and easy. You should unlock this before receiving Sniper Rifle. The kills count with all the weapons available to you on this level.


Achievement #54 – Hail Reich!: Complete the Heavy Squad Level.
After defeating the waves of enemies & blowing up the boss, you will complete this DLC. The boss is a little tricky, but you have unlimited ammo in the ammo box so just keep unloading your grenade launcher on him.



Achievement #55 – Sniper: Kill 10 enemies with headshots using your sniper rifle.
Take your time with the kills, you can get the headshots against indoor enemies as well, in case you are struggling.


Achievement #56 – Saboteur: Complete the Sniper Team Level.
This DLC may require some patience, just plan your shots & be sure to take the enemies out in vantage places first, then wait for the guys on the ground to start patrolling. The DLC will end after you open the wheel locked door & enter the base.


We will have to find 30 artifacts on this level.
Butcher the enemies to collect ammo from them. Save when in base and trade in the artifacts when you are full, the guide doesn't tell you when to go to the base so do it when you feel the need for it.

Please note, some players have reported that the locations for the artifacts vary. I suggest you either use the guide below as a way of checking have you looked into every corner, or perhaps restart your Kshatriya run until you can see that the artifact location match the guide.

Achievement #57 – Artifact: Find 30 artifacts.
Picking up all the artifacts will unlock the achievement.


Achievement #58 – Kshatriya: Complete the Kshatriya Level.
Once you deliver the Map of Metro-2 artifact, exit the level through the door that we use to save our progress and the achievement will unlock.



Achievement #59 – Willpower: Сomplete at least one HUGE mission.
When you are to choose one of the three difficulties for a level, choose the hardest one when the enemies are appropriate for you, I do not recommend doing this against mutant enemies. Completing a Huge map will unlock this achievement.


Achievement #60 – Test Compete: Complete the Tower Level.
When you‘ve got enough cash, call in reinforcements, they help a real deal. I played on Easy, but it still was challenging. You can check Youtube for tips and walkthrough, but good reaction should be enough to pass this DLC.



Achievement #61 – Arachnophobia: Kill 20 spiders with your flame thrower.
The achievement is somewhat misleading, because for spiders it means only the female Spiderlings, check the photos on wikipedia to be sure who you need to kill with the flamethrower. They are the ones without a tail. You can farm the kills in the rocket silo areas, where the female spiders run on the walls without attacking the player. They die faster and count for the achievement.

Achievement #62 – Through the Fire: Complete the Spider Lair Level.
Escape the Spider Liar, pretty straight forward. Once you take the elevator to the surface you will complete the DLC.


In this DLC we will have to find 8 keys and open 8 safes, follow the guide below to find them all.
1. When you exit through metal door, the safe will be in front of you on the wall. The key will be at the end of the room on a table on your left.
2. When you open the next metal door, in the new room, enter the room to your right side by crawling through a hole in the wall. At the end of the room, in a metal box, you will find the key. The safe will be in the room next to the barred door with armored enemies behind them. The Safe is to your left when facing the door.
3. The safe is in the middle of the the large room where soldiers are having a shooting practice. When facing the safe, the key will be to the right of you, behind some crates.
4. In the same area, head upstairs and go to the control room, the key will be in a box handing on the wall just before the room. You will find the safe behind the barred door, which you will open with the switch in the control room.
5. When you jump down after climbing the tunnel, go right. Find the key in the first shack you can enter on your left. Climb the upstairs nearby. At the end of the catwalks, in a shack, you will find the safe.
6. Now go back and take the left turn from where we came from. After crossing the two bridges, find the key in the first shack you can enter to your right. Proceed further and keep right, cross the bridge and find the safe in the shack.
7. When you open the metal door, go downstairs and find the key in a box hanging on the wall. Go upstairs, proceed further, as you pass the trip wire, the safe will be in the room in front of us. The gate will close behind us, but will soon reopen itself.
8. When you open another metal door, the key will be in the room to the right of you. When you exit the large enemy infested area through the metal barred door, the safe will be on your left side.


Achievement #63 – Safe Cracker: Open 8 safe boxes on the PAVEL level.
Opening the last safe will unlock the achievement.


Achievement #64 – Heads Up!: Complete the Pavel Level.
As Pavel, escape from Reich captivity. When you get to Venice & board the rail car you will complete the DLC.



Achievement #65 – Hunting: Kill 20 Nosalises on the KHAN level.
You should be able to unlock this level without intentional reloading. In the large metro area, Nosalites will be spawning from time to time. Make sure you get the achievement there before proceeding with the mission.


Achievement #66 – No Way Out: Complete the Khan Level.
As Ulman, return to Polis with Khan. After Khan’s flashback, you will return playing as Ulman & finish the DLC.



Achievement #67 – Eagle Eye: Kill more Watchmen than Artyom does.
When the watchmen attack, just shoot the enemies, you should be able to unlock this relatively easy, since Artyom is not that good of a shooter.


Achievement #68 – The Sunset of Hope: Complete the Anna Level.
As Anna, play through the Level Ashes from her perspective. It is probably the shortest out of all the DLC’s & ends once Artyom is taken away by the Reich soldiers.



Achievement #69 – Specialist: Complete the SHOOTING RANGE and ARENA.
This achievement is as annoying and challenging as Tower DLC. Shooting Range is simple, but the Arena is going to make you suffer. Take you time and try to do all the challenges, you will unlock the achievement when you have done 10 challenges in each of the sections. We will have to spend 3 hours on this level anyway, one day you should succeed.


Achievement #70 – Developer: Spend 3 hours on the Developer Level.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. You can either mess around with all the different mini games they have scattered around the Level, or you can just idle your game and go do something else for 3 hours. Either way, after the time has passed you will have earned the Achievement. Please note, minimizing the game will pause it and the time won‘t count, the game has to be „live“ throughout the 3 hour period.
