New game + weapon problem

[Call Me Daddy]

It would seem that the "Keep my old weapons" option is bugged for new game plus.
After selecting the option and heading into new game plus, I hear that you are supposed to receive all your weapons after Yermak gives you a knife and revolver.
However after leaving the room, I am completely disarmed, including the revolver he just handed to me.

Strangely enough, proceeding through the game, I do have access to all armor and gas mask options as well as the miscellaneous stuff. It seems that there is a weapons check or something that the game keeps failing.
And before you ask, yes I waited until the workshop appears within the Aurora too. Same problem

Do any of you know whats up?

Had the same problem,
I just wanted the weapons but ticked Dev commentary, got the same thing as you no weapon at all.

What worked for me was using 3 of the options and I got the weapons.

I used Armored Enemies, Dev Commentary and Tougher Creatures.
I am on Hardcore and the Armored Enemies makes it more intresting as you have to stealth them or prepare to fight and they can take some serious amount of bullets:)
I like the challange it added even if that was not my intensions from the beginning,

This mite work with one or two options I have not tried, but not using any or just dev commentary does not.

Wow this sucks. One of the reasons of why i bought the game was because of this NG+ with all your weapons, if this is bugged i don't wanna waste my money then.

I got the same bug,
When i did my first playthrough i gathered all the upgrades & weapon mods i could find. But when ng+ didnt work i went to the nexus and downloaded a save file with all weapon mods & upgrades. It picks up at the start of the volga level

I suppose its not the worst thing ever, seeing as how you can select what weapon you want to start with, like the crossbow (which might have the same problem now that I think about it)
But its a little unfortunate. Ah well, still enjoying newgame plus regardless

I confirm that offline mode fixes the New Game Plus issues with the "My Weapons" mode.
From other posts, it is also important not to die and/or load during the Moscow level (attacks by watchmen) - however, I have not validated this myself (have not died).

If NGP works properly, then wrist upgrades (e.g. metal detector) can be seen immediately at the start of the new game as Artyom opens the man hole cover.
Also, if NGP works properly, one receives the last three weapons from Yermak after rescuing Anna in the jamming control room.

Symptoms of NGP NOT working properly are:
Being left with no weapons after supposedly received them from Yermak as well as having suit upgrades available at the Aurora workbnch in Volga but no weapons and no weapons upgrades.

ALSO: NGP can destroy quick save from normal playthrough - thus ruining New Game Plus completely if it doesn't work from the start!
-> With the game not running, make a copy of the save game folder: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\metro exodus\<user-id>

ive talked with support and they say its a completely new issue to them, here's hoping they find a fix

I've also experienced this bug and did not receive weapons after Yermak normally gives you your pistol.
Marble, thanks for the insight, but i'm wondering whether this bug and your proposed solution (starting in offline mode) will affect the achievements related to New Game+?

It shouldn't. I got the Toy seller achievement starting in offline mode. I already had Mutation achievement by the time I found out about this solution, so can't 100% confirm about that, but it should be fine too. The important part is to be online at the time the achievement is completed.

yermak does not give you your three weapons in new game + you get them after you give anna a boost outside you get the three weapons from the end of you completed play through you wont get them from yermak or from the workbench in the train in volga you only get them right where i said and yes disable cloud saves on your steam settings to enable new game + to work correctly and do it before you finish your first play through

[The Crackadalion Death <3]

support has also just told me there is no current way to fix save games being corrupted from a NG+ save, causing you to not be able to start a new NG+ on the same save. Make sure to back it up if you can.

Thanks for the help and confirmation!

this type of thing is for lazy gamers who use other players saves to by pass sections of the game they are to lazy to complete themselves

Yeah they're lying; I don't really know what they get out of lying though...it has been a known issue, myself and others have written tickets about it long ago

what's wrong with you?
Most of us completed the game and thus want to enjoy the game with what we've already found.
