Battery charger key?

[Banditos Way]

I have searched the keyboard bindings and i can't find the battery charger. I am currently keeping my controller next to me to recharge my light.

[vrill]

hold the flashlight key...

[Banditos Way]

Thank you! That was driving me nuts

mine just beeps at me and shows me a low battery icon, wont let me use the charger. Worked fine in the non redux.

Default is hold F, then click to charge.

Same problem.
I can hold the F key for more than one minute with no other effect than a beep. If I click at the same time, it fires my weapon.

I tried rebinding the flashlight key with the same results.

Has anyone been able to solve this? I just finished original Metro 2033 with zero problems, now I started the Redux and the recharging is broken. It blips, shows the battery indicator, but pressing the LMB while holding F doesn't work anymore.

To the people getting beeps when holding F that means your charger is fully charged it doesn't need charging when its at fully capacity there's two indications for the battery (so long as you don't play any of the other difficulties) a green one and a red one the green one means full charge while the ged one means no charge!

Thanks. It seems the charger starts to work later in the game for whatever reason. Now I don't see a red green/indicator. You hear a beep when it's fully charged and it brings up the charger when it's not. I don't understand why they had to "fix" something that wasn't broken.

In the beginning of the game I couldn't even pickup the Baastard carbine, until I realized I had to hold E to pickup the weapon (not switch a weapon, but pick it up and assign it to an empty slot). There was zero indication because I am playing on Ranger. Later on you have to burn cobwebs. Again, no indication whatsoever. The problem is that I had already finished the non-Redux version of the game, they changed a lot of ♥♥♥♥ in the Redux version, didn't bother to give us an updated manual and Ranger mode has no hints.

Kabamaru Ranger mode isn't suppose to have any hints its meant to be played by people that know what key does what! I made that mistake when i first played this game and i immediately did a different difficulty because the difficulty i was playing on wasn't meant for me at the current moment.
Edit: Read the diffculties in the menu next time dude they tell you what diffculty does what!

[Kabamaru]

I read the difficulties. The point was that it doesn't matter if you've already played the original game (which I have). The Redux version changed things and then left them undocumented for those wanting to go for Ranger. An updated manual would solve stuff like this.

Anyway, besides these few initial hurdles, the game plays fine now.

When i said by people that know what key does what i meant people that have played the Redux enough to have these keys imprinted in their brain.

This doesn't go on if you played the original game, it goes on if you played original last light, because it takes all of the gameplay mechanics from that, and applies them to 2033, along with the graphics engine.

The mistake they made I believe was assuming that everyone who bought and played the redux would have already played the original last light.
This is why you don't get any info from Khan to help you realise you have to burn the cobwebs on the train in the ghosts level. You just already know you can burn them because you played last light.
But of course, not everyone has played original last light, and anyone new coming in now will just buy the whole redux pack to get both games together along with all DLC.

@wobbler

Pretty much, yeah. For instance, I finished 2033 Redux yesterday and I had no clue you can knock out an enemy. I don't remember this feature being available in the original 2033. I read about it in an achievement guide and I'm going to use it in my 2nd playthrough.
