Infiltrate the Local Camp - Metro Exodus Guide - IGN (2024)

The locals have captured Alyosha who is now somewhere between a guest and a prisoner. It’s your job to free him.

Get to the Camp

Now take the last remaining zipline into the enemy camp. If there are still those enemies on the bridge, you’ll have to take them head on. In these cases, a hand to hand combat kill is easiest (unless you’re very quick with guns, which is unlikely).

Remember to pick up guns here, if you haven’t already, because you lost everything except for the Helsing and you can carry 2 guns in addition to the Helsing.

Tips for Killing/Knocking Out Enemies Here

Your only task here is to make it out of the camp to the next section but this will involve taking out some enemies as you make your way to the zipline (tied to one of these elevated shacks) out of here. The next section will explain how to get out but the easiest way to do this without being spotted/shot at is to kill everyone because dead/passed out men cannot shoot.

You essentially ziplined into a wall to get here. Use that wall for cover.

Headshots from a safe distance are key here. You can start by taking out as many men from the ground beneath you as possible Start with the two near the stairs that lead to your bridge. Take cover behind the large panel. Using the reflex sight for this should work well. The Helsing gun is key here.

From here, change to the NV Scope (if you have it). There’s also a longer scope that features a 4x zoom but I find the NV Scope works best here.

Using the NV Scope (or whatever scope you have) scan the area and see if there are more men you can shoot who are roaming the ground. This is a great spot because you have a large panel covering you.

If you’re having a hard time spotting the men, look for the glow of their flashlights waving around. That will tip you off to their location. Sometimes people will walk faster than expected when they’re suspicious. Don’t be afraid to shoot the body to stun them so you can get a headshot. But take it ASAP because even if they don’t hit you, the sound of their gunshot will alert the others that something is wrong.

There are more enemies waiting for you on this bridge shack area but you they can be hard to see from here. Use your scope and you’ll be able to spot and see this one up ahead. Shoot him in the head and wait a bit for the commotion to die down.

Take a second to peak down the stairs and loot all those bodies you took down.

From here, scope out the area again. You’ll likely spot at least one more guard.

The Path Out of the Camp

Get out of the camp and into the next area. This section will include callout for where enemies might be located so you can shoot them from a distance.

Move forward on the bridge. Stay crouched so that you’re quiet.

Always look around, especially to the far off distance so you can shoot enemies safely. An example is pictured below of a foe coming out of the building to your far off left.

Always hang back for a second after shooting because others will likely come out and search for the perpetrator (that’s you!)

Keep going and at the end of the bridge go to the left to take the bridge towards the green and blue paneled house. Watch for enemies as always.

Notice a sniper is waiting up ahead. Be ready for him before he shines that laser on you.

Look around for more snipers. There may be one on the left and another on the right (varies depending on enemy movement). Stand up and look around the area. Check the ground beneath you and the shacks/bridges on the right in the distance

Use The Workbench (Optional)

Walk towards the blue/green paneled building and take a left before entering. Go up the ladder there. And take the door to the place up top.

Inside, a man will surrender (you can knock him out for his items or leave him alone). Use his workbench.

Exit and take the ladder on the ground down to the bottom, by the house, again.

Head for the Exit

Walk into the blue/green paneled house. Go through it and exit to the other side.

Go right, towards the warm glow of the shack.

Continue on that path towards the desk full of skulls and a copy of Metro on it. Then take a right.

Here, you’ll find a zip line to the next area. Take it! And then climb the ladder near you.

Start to cross the bridge slowly and shoot the enemy up ahead. When you do this the other will likely run off a bit and then put his hands up to surrender. Don’t shoot him as that’s part of How to get the good ending of the game.

Keep going along the path (through the small wooden building) and take the zip line.

Since Alyosha wasn’t in the camp, see if he’s still in the church.
