Caspian

Metro Exodus guide · The second major open-world region

Artyom and the crew arrive at the dried-up Caspian seabed seeking satellite communication maps to find habitable land. You must infiltrate local installations, secure fresh water and fuel, and deal with the Baron and his oil-slaver faction. Helping the local Munshi leader Giul and avoiding unnecessary bloodshed against slaves is essential to achieving the region's best outcome.

Tips

Never kill or harm any enslaved workers in the oil facilities and camps if you want Damir to stay with the crew at the end of the chapter.
Use the provided Bukhanka van to traverse the vast desert quickly, but remember to stay aware of Lurker nests in the road.
You can use your flashlight to keep spiders in the underground bunker at bay until they expose their soft bellies.
Bring pneumatic ammo for the Tikhar to easily dispatch Humanimals silently at long range without wasting valuable gunpowder ammo.
