This Achievement in Metro Exodus is Pretty Hardcore...

[@G1ingy]

I didn't even realize this Trophy was so rare and difficult to people. I think it's because I way over-abused the throwing knives which are super OP in this game.

[@steelbear2063]

Rare doesn't always mean that people failed. It can also mean that people didn't bother in the first place. In this case I think it's both. And after getting 100% on Xbox I can understand those who didn't bother

[@proggz39]

​​@@FatGuyEngineerthe constant beeping from the tracker or whatever in Sam's story was my only complaint, it got really grating after a while. I still prefer the two colonels though as I really enjoyed the story. I'm a bit biased though as I honestly enjoyed the more linear level design of the older games. Exodus was still amazing though and ranger hardcore was a treat to play through (besides the bear boss fight).

[@sincerelynotme3522]

I got the platinum for this game too and yeah the village was rough. I had to replay it several times, once you get past the first part it was pretty easy if you know shortcuts and stuff until you get to the boat part. Then it becomes hard again, I remember my game crashed right at the boss battle at the end and I had to do the level ALL over again. I wanted to die 😂.

[@dylanbell268]

for me it was the mandatory armored boys in the swamp

[@toiletpaper3394]

It's actually easier if you abuse sleep to nighttime in campsites but the part where you steal a boat is still infuriating in ranger hardcore. Edit: completed that part a few days ago after I saw a video where they completed that part without a boat and got forest child. Hours wasted on that location. (Forest child is an achievement where NOBODY must spot you during the Taiga level WITHOUT killing, attacking, or knocking out)

[@ErosXCaos]

[@Sev3617]

Exodus on Ranger Hardcore is genuinely pretty hard. The first two are pretty easy if you’re familiar with those games although last light has a few parts that are particularly punishing but aside from a few stand out moments in last light it’s a pretty easy experience for the first 2 games. What really made Exodus on Ranger Hardcore difficult was just the fact that you can’t save whenever you want. You can go up to 40 minutes to an hour without getting an auto save at some points and then you just get hit by a random stray bullet. I absolutely love hard-core post apocalyptic first person shooters that are punishing and brutal, but exodus is just obnoxiously hard at certain points and it’s pretty obvious they didn’t really play test it, the caspian sniper tower being the worst part easily.

[@ggh8907]

Skill issue. Exodus was my first metro game and I beat ranger hardcore on my second playthrough with out much problems at all

[@Sev3617]

@@ggh8907 you’re really cool man

[@EagleVenomUK]

I found it relatively easy, even when my very first blind run of the game on launch was on ranger hardcore. This isn’t a “look at me, I’m so cool” moment or anything, I think it was solely because of my playstyle. I used stealth for every human encounter, which meant the game was piss easy. I only killed when I was literally forced to (because I was scared of failing the good ending). Stealth is genuinely laughably easy and broken in these games, and the “”correct”” stealth route is usually painfully obvious. I imagine the game would be a lot more difficult if you were actively seeking out gunfights, which is where I think a lot of people may have struggled.

[@Sev3617]

@@EagleVenomUK The Caspian tower was absolutely busted. Once I got up into the tower and was then having to deal with the group of enemies that pull up to the tower in vehicles and start shooting at you, they would be shooting at me with Shamblers or SMG’s and just a single one of their rounds from an absurdly far distance barely clipping me would instantaneously game end me. I never had any issues quite like that at any other point in the game, but just a single one of the rounds hitting me would instantly kill me every single time, and they had pixel perfect accuracy. Clipping me through the tiniest little gaps in the rusted sheets of metal. I had to cheese the encounter by finding a pixel peek spot somewhere in the metal sheets where they couldn’t hit me from. It was absolutely horrendous.

[@maxatrillionfatstacks]

The long load times and distance between checkpoints really make it a way more frustrating experience to play than the last two games. Stealth is OP in certain parts but if you make one mistake it's a waaayyy longer wait to try again then 2033 or last light. I'm on the volga in my first hardcore playthrough and I'm honestly dreading the bear fight the most, that thing was a total bullet sponge on my normal playthrough

[@invictus_1245]

Beating ranger hardcore is a hard challenge, but i think the forest child achievement is 100x harder. The criteria is so strict with 0 indication of if you failed or not until you reach the point where the achievement is awarded. The final village where you have to do a stealth section in the fucking boat is terrible, you cant knock out the lever guard or the guards that overlook the exit so its a literal gamble if they decide youre spotted in the boat and you have to reset if you so much as hear a music queuue or yell.

[@shenanvindinu]

I completed this game on Ranger Hardcore. It was awesome. However, some levels are not actually optimized for that difficulty. Like "TAIGA Bear Fight"... "Two colonels nosalis Fights". So It was pretty difficult tbh.

[@aaronskuse2207]

I’ve 100% completed the base game about a dozen times, obviously getting every single achievement as well. Then the 2 expansions came out and my save data became corrupted and kept self-deleting. Despite this annoying glitch, Exodus is a phenomenal game and I highly recommend it as a must-play for the post-apocalypse genre. I’d go so far as to say it’s even better than Fallout 4.

I laughed at 11:32 when he tries to sneak from behind and there's no entrance so he goes "ok plan B, let's go back inside" not knowing there was a ladder on that corner that leads directly to the thing he needs to touch to open the gate lol

I’m one of the few who has gotten every achievement in every Metro game. It’s one of my favorite franchises. When I saw the title for the video, I didn’t expect this to be Ranger Hardcore Mode. Not because it’s difficult, but because it’s my default difficulty after one or two initial play-throughs. No, I thought this was going to be Ranger Hardcore with *Iron* mode on. Meaning whenever you die, you restart the entire region. Along with all of the other shown handicaps. You’re next video should be doing exactly that. That way I can see you struggle even more and get another video of my favorite game series. xD

Maybe haha, I hadn’t played the game in years before doing this so it might’ve been too much to chew at the time

Ngl, idk about most of the games you play. But dammit if you’re not entertaining and hilarious to watch, so I still watch all your vids. Keep it up man!

[@rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr0]

Ranger hardcore is by far the best way to experience the metro games, I have replayed the series about 3 times and still don't know what the hud looks like.

[@samsillis175]

As someone that has 100%'d every single Metro game, I respect the effort and enjoyed this video.

[@slowowned51]

I am still stunned to this day that Snam only has 200k subs at the moment he needs to hit a million now XD

[@pessoaaleatoria9834]

21:24 I've never expected the game to actually include intrusive thoughts

[@ryanlane680]

I’ve been watchin since like you’re third video and I’m so happy for you that you’re getting sponsorships good work man

[@pillagius]

Now this is fun! Ranger Hardcore is da wae. Did Ranger Hardcore in same playthrough as pacifist run (no killing humans, unless its bandits or mandatory combat sections). Full dive I think was added later, so yet to try that. PS: I guess it's just a recurring mechanics, that I remember from previous games and in Exodus it probably wasn't mentioned or explained... But big monkeys (aka the Librarians) do not attack you if you stare at them and eventually would run off if you stare long enough. Only issue is if you look away for a moment - it's back to checkpoint.
