The Aurora

Metro Exodus guide · The mobile hub throughout the entire game

The Aurora serves as the main mobile base and safe haven between major open-world chapters, traveling across Russia. In these transit sequences, Artyom can interact with crew members, listen to radio broadcasts, clean weapons, and learn additional story context. There are no combat encounters aboard the train, making it a peaceful downtime zone before each mission.
