New Game Plus Bug - Missing Weapons and Upgrades From Previous Playthrough

[RiseAgain]

I finished the game twice already. I started a new game plus and selected the "my weapons" option. Then, after the fight at the jammer control room, where Yermak is supposed to give you the weapons from your previous playthrough (or give you the AK Rifle and the silenced Ashot if it's your first playthrough) I got no weapons at all.

Later on, during the Volga mission, I found out that all my previous weapon upgrades (which were supposed to carry over too) were now missing.

Is there a way to fix this ?

I just followed what someone posted.

1. Go to Chapter Select and select the very last chapter (The one about radiation, trying not to spoil for others).

2. Let it play for like a minute then quit to main menu.

3. Start a new game with your game that has the NG+ option and select what you want.

4. You cannot die, if you do it messes up everything and there is a chance the game will just load it to a normal version of the starting level and not you NG+.

I'm having the exact same problem. Been researching for hours on a way to fix it

Attempted this and can confirm it does NOT work :(

load up new game + select your new choises to make game harder or not but select the option my weapons this gives you the weapons you had when you completed the previous play through you will also get any armor and weapon upgrades you found also the nvg then play the game till you rescue anna and meet yermak in the jammer room carry on with anna go outside into the train depot give anna a boost up the ladder at this point you get your three weapons ect nowhere else not the train in the volga right here in the train depot is where you get them.
i have over 665 hours played and over 25 playthroughs completed. once you have new game + the save for it will stay in your game you can do a few chapters and still start a new game +

What worked for me was switching Steam to offline mode, then starting and playing new game+ up until the point where you save Anna in offline mode. After that point you can reload Steam back online.

If your previous failed attempt to start new game+ with weapons imported created any new autosaves, don't forget to delete them, or they might be considered as "the previous playthrough" when starting ng+. Leave saves only from the actual playthrough you want to import weapons and mods from. Saves are located in your c:\users\*username*\saved games\Metro exodus\*profile number*\ folder

An easy way to see if this worked, as someone suggested to me earlier, is at the very start of the game, when Artyom goes down the manhole. If you have any mod from your previous playthrough like metal detector, compass or movement detector already attached to your watch, then it worked. Night vision probably also works at that point already, though I didn't check until later in the chapter when I freed Anna.

I have the same issue

to avoid this bug switch to ofline mode in steam then restart new game + i always play in ofline mode and never had a problem , there are a lot of problems caused with saving to the cloud so playing in ofline mode saves are on your pc

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>

No weapons needed when my dear wife covers me sir.

I know this is 3 years ago but fingers crossed you can help me out still. I do not seem to have a save left over that isn't NG+ somehow, if I click the save slot it ONLY has saves that say its active. if I delete everything but my oldest save (which I KNOW is before I beat the game) it still says NG+ is active.

I've tried just looking for 100% completed base game saves to use NG+ on but I can't seem to find any, the ONE I found that was supposedly a Metro save game the files they uploaded were not the right file format for the games saves so that was a dead end :/
