Arrived at novosibirsk, no ammo

[TurfWormVer2terter]

I just got past a mutant ambush in a metro and already completely out of ammo. I've been told to chose my gear wisely before and I still think I did the best choice possible. Now that being said, how ♥♥♥'d am I then? Should I have collected more ressources at the taiga or something? I was rather invested in the narrative and forgot to explore more to gather materials

[TurfWormVer2terter]

Nice foreshadowing. Good thing i've chosen the tikhar over the crossbow i guess

"foreshadowing"?! not really!! This is the last level Turf, you should have noticed what you can manufacture on the fly and what needs a workbench long ago. crossbow included shh.

Having said that, if you're shooting at every single nosalis you see with a noisy cartridge weapon no less? Have you considered you're playing the game "wrong"?

You're *supposed* be be constantly near running-out, of ammo, of air, of time... you're *supposed* to take each engagement in a "do I need to risk my life for this?" approach... I mean look why you're even in Novosibirsk. Artyom is sick of death. This is integral to the novels the games and your expected playstyle. You will always get the "bad" ending in all 3 games if you shoot everything that you see on the screen.

Also? The exe is not protected and it's a single-player game. Should you feel the need to have 9999 ammo? Go on and give it to yourself, no one cares, I promise! But you will still get the bad ending, even in Exodus which is much more forgiving on the karma meter than the others.

Your personal resources are always the same regardless of how much or how little you collected on Taiga. Restart Novosibirsk. The chapter starts on the train approaching the city, you can use the workbench before you leave, stock up.
And as you say, choose your weapons wisely. Personally, I prefer an AK, a shotgun & the tikhar, but it's your choice.
As already mentioned, search everywhere and collect everything, you might need it later. And conserve ammo, it doesn't grow on trees.

No, I ain't going around killing everything on sight. I try to be stealthy even if I usually get spotted at some point and everything goes to ♥♥♥♥. I basically didn't kill a single human back at the taiga and my mutant body count there must be less than fingers on my hands.

I don't feel like restarting as I remember not havi'g to many options back at the workbench. I've chosen AK, revolver and tikhar

What difficulty are you playing on? I recall resources being pretty scarce in this level, more so than on the previous, but never had that issue. Tikhar works wonders on this level btw

[TurfWormVer2terter]

Regular difficulty
