timeline of exodus (potential spoilers for LL)

[Chaplain]

for those who played the previous metro games? where exactly does this take place in the timeline? for those who know what happens in last light? im very curious about it

Metro Exodus is set 2 years after the events of last light which was in 2034, there is a book called Metro 2035 that makes a few references to Metro Last Light, and is what Metro Exodus is following from.

Basically all that happens in Last Light is that a huge war breaks out between the Nazi's and the Commies, Artyom finds out there is a few Dark Ones that are still alive, Artyom and the rangers find a underground facility that is a secret bunker that was unused and unoccupied, they get attacked in the facility and lots of the rangers die, and Artyom falls in love with a girl named Anna.

Here is a wiki link to a summary of Metro 2035, http://metrovideogame.wikia.com/wiki/Metro_2035

You should probably read it sometime before Exodus comes out, it will fill you in on some of Last Light and the story between Last Light and Exodus.

That was the bad ending, in the good ending he lives, and the author of the book has him as being alive in Metro 2035. Remember that the author of Metro doesn't write his book from the games, so Metro 2035 is the real lore, and Artyom is alive and possibly so are the dark ones.

There are 2 endings to LL, the bad ending is Artyom detonating the rigged bombs in the tunnel, killing all the reds and rangers in the tunnel. The good ending is similar but as Artyom goes to press the button, the dark ones turn up and freeze time, killing all the reds and saving the rangers from devastation. The good ending is cannon.

Basically explore, help people and try to not kill as many people and mutants as possible. You can kill mutants and humans but try to limit it.

Also helps if you spare two characters in the end game

Basically there are guides on the game on the stuff you need to do. Explore and find hidden caches, hidden bullets, small events triggered, save people etc.

Actually it doesn't matter how many people or mutants you kill, if they're enemies you can kill them without hurting your karma. You just have to save every human or mutant that you have a chance of saving.
