I have come back to Metro 2033 for a ranger easy play-through and have reached Polis with zero filters for my gas mask, and to my surprise they are not available at polis. Obviously I could go back to the last place where they are sold, but that is prohibitively far.

Does anyone have any game-play ideas for continuing with zero filters? Otherwise does anyone know any good ways to mod the gamesave to produce more filters? I have the tool "360revolution" that offers the ability to mod saves to "god mode" and "infinite ammo", but even if these work it sounds to me like cracking a nut with a sledgehammer.

  • A bit specific so I'm not holding my breath (...sorry). Isn't the move away from cheats and customizability with these consoles tiresome?

    do you have absolutely 0 or close to it? There's a way to 'cheat' the system by putting on and removing the filter quickly without using it up.

    I can go back a level and have a few filters, go the main way through black station and try that. I understand Artyom lasts 30sec without one, I'll have to see how far I can get (It has to be far enough to fall through the elevator?). In that case, I hope there are filters at Sparta Base.

    I went back to the surface section before black station, and using the tactics you mentioned manages to save 11 filters. Thanks.

As soon as you leave the station, turn left (don't go into the ditch), there's a dead body there from which you can collect some filters.

  • I was SEVERELY annoyed with having to go outside with 1 filter at ~:01. When dude said I had to go outside to the library, I just threw my hands up and started looking for a cheat. it took about :15 to find this tidbit. Thanks.
