Following our guide on the various weapons present in the world of Metro Exodus, the FPS, action-adventure published by Deep Silver and released last February 15 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, we want to propose another one, focusing on this time on how to upgrade weapons and how to clean them.
As both are necessary and important elements within the game, it will be important to dedicate some time to them during the gameplay sessions, as without frequent cleaning and updating, not only will it be impossible to proceed in the game carrying your favorite weapons. , but you will also risk missing out on a very important and customizable component of the game, which could greatly enrich your gaming experience.
Update and customization:
When it comes to weapons in Metro Exodus, the key aspect of the matter is one in particular: almost every weapon in the game can be upgraded. Each weapon has a set of parts (action, aim, magazine, etc.) that can be exchanged with others to make changes or improvements, thus making them completely different from the originals. For example, some guns like the A-shot they can be greatly improved by changing some components, such as the load, or the strengths and weaknesses can be improved if you want to use a specific weapon but which in the standard form is not suitable for the game situation.
The first important thing to do in weapon upgrades is to collect the accessories and weapon parts that are needed to make such upgrades. Not every component or accessory is compatible with all the weapons available in Metro Exodus, for this reason it is important not to leave out anything that might prove useful later in the adventure. Some of these components can be found in the game world during the exploration phases, but most can be recovered directly from enemies. In fact, when one is knocked down, it will be necessary to look in the neighboring area to be able to collect these tools, together with any weapons that can be stolen from corpses.
Selecting the weapon with the player controls will highlight some parts of the weapon in orange, visible through the user interface: these orange parts represent the parts on that particular weapon that the player does not yet have. If it is a new gun, for example, it will be entirely colored orange. In this case, it will not be necessary to retrieve the complete weapon, as the player will be given two instructions to decide whether to exchange it with one of the ones already equipped or to simply remove the upgrade parts to be able to use them later. We therefore recommend that you always retrieve these components as there is no advantage in leaving them behind.
Finally, in order to apply these upgrades to your weapons, you simply need to open your inventory at any time in the game; all this represents a considerable advantage, as you can easily replace parts based on the situations and environments in which you will be fighting in a short time, and then easily return to the original configuration. The same operation, however, can also be performed on any workbench, including the one on the back of the Aurora, which in this case will allow you to perform much more important upgrades and improvements, such as adjusting the entire load. -out.
Cleaning and maintenance:
The world of Metro Exodus is a grim and dirty place, and even weapons are not saved from this post-apocalyptic contamination. Every single weapon in the game has a certain level of cleanliness, and once it starts to get dirty, its reliability will drop even more. In fact, dirty weapons have a greater chance of jamming or requiring more frequent reloading, also suffering a reduction in damage dealt and taking longer to take down enemies. The only way, therefore, to avoid this type of malfunction, which during a particularly difficult mission would risk killing you, is to clean all your weapons frequently.
Only workbenches can be used to clean weapons in Metro Exodus. This basically means that it is not possible in any way to do this during missions as with upgrades, so if you ever return inside a tunnel or in an environment where it is impossible to reach a workbench, you will need to give up. to the jammed weapon and equip another one, perhaps stealing it from an enemy. For this reason, it is always best to regularly clean your weapons when you are near a work table, especially in the Aurora, where the player will be able to find the cleaning menu for all the weapons in his inventory. . This is a process that obviously costs some resources, but which is necessary for the prolonged use of the same weapons.
