The Pirate Camp

Metro Exodus guide · The settlement of the older children in the Taiga

The Pirate Camp is a fortified wooden settlement built over the river that Artyom must infiltrate to acquire a boat to reach the dam. Players can either sneak through non-lethally or fight through the Pirates guarding the path. Reaching the upper lever opens the water gate, allowing you to commandeer a rowboat and exit the area.

Tips

Approaching the camp at night significantly reduces the Pirates' visual awareness, making it much easier to bypass patrols along the scaffolding.
Using the high zipline into the camp gives direct access to the upper wooden walkways, allowing you to bypass ground-level guards completely.
