The knife is Arytom's melee attack, so use it to smash open doors (practically just the two stages Library and Depository) it is generally unhelpful for everything else. The basic survival knife, unbalanced for throwing except in rare circumstances.

If you're using a silenced assault rifle like the VSV, riddling the enemy with 20 rounds of copper jacketed tungsten rounds is a better idea using knives is a way to take down unalerted, lone enemies without wasting precious ammunition.Īvoid buying throwing knives unless you have a lot of military rounds most of the stashes and caches will award you with free throwing knives. Additionally, the knives can be recovered, making them perfect short range assassination tools.Īgainst enemies who wear helmets and ballistic facemasks, use the Tihar or Helsing, and aim at their necks.
One well-aimed thrown dart to the head will kill humans instantly.
The throwing knife is a cheap and effective tool for killing humans silently. Spears also can't be recovered if you cannot reach their point of impact. Spears will break (and can't be recovered) if the shots hit armor, stone, or metal. However, it should be noted that spear ammunition is extremely rare (on par with military rounds), so don't go around shooting carelessly. Like the Tihar, the weapon can be overcharged to deliver deadly damage. The other pneumatic weapon, this is a harpoon gun that fires re-usable spears. Note that there is an achievement associated with this weapon. Simply use the color of the crosshair that the needle is in for the optimum shot. The Tihar's scope is also well designed to take the air pressure into account. This way, you will not accidentally shoot when the pumping action is done. The hissing will not give Artyom away in cases of stealth if you need the noise to abate, simply switch to any weapon and then back to the Tihar.Īlthough the game hints you can over-charge the air bladder with the Primary Fire button, it's better to hold the Reload button, and use the Secondary Fire button to charge the air cannister. The air reservoir on this weapon can be overcharged briefly to give the weapon's shots more damage (and level flight) for a short period of time. There are scoped and un-scoped versions of this pneumatic weapon (buy the scoped version). While the gun butt is handy against some doors and objects, it's not effective against enemies the bayonet attachment is barely a help (small poke area) but it is stronger - about the same damage as Artyom's knife swipe. Unlike the Duplet, the Uboyneg's secondary fire is a melee attack. Keep that in mind as you play around with your new toy. To fully load all six shells, you need to be able to expose the empty chambers to the side. Should you load one shell and allow Artyom to cock the gun, you will only be able to reload the remaining four exposed cylinders. Once it has and the weapon is cocked, you may reload the remaining two exposed cylinders. The autoshotgun is also puzzling to reload you need to hold the reload key so it reloads the four exposed cylinders. The autoshotgun is a handy weapon for mutants, but the stopping power drops dramatically once any distance is achieved by the target away from the shooter (you). This is one of the many disadvantages of the Bastard over the easier to handle AK-Kalash. Note the lengthy animation when reloading. Although it is tempting to complete various levels with this inferior weapon, Artyom will get his hands on an AK (Kalash) after toughing it out a few levels. This is the standard automatic weapon in the game, made from home-brew parts from a Russian weapons depot, is probably the one weapon you will never use once you are used to the game in Metro 2033. Note there are achievements related to this weapon. As a general rule, keep about 100 rounds for this weapon you can easily find more and the extra military rounds you sell can be used for other items. Revolver ammunition is not plentiful, but the tendency for you to rely on automatic and heavy weapons often means you give the revolver a short shrift and you wind up with a ton of ammunition for it. Against human opponents, the revolver can kill with one shot if the projectile strikes vulnerable areas, like the head.
It's fairly powerful if you aim at the correct spots. The revolver is Artyom's standard sidearm in dystopic Moscow.
