A detailed walkthrough for Metro 2033's 'The Subway Tunnel (2)' section, guiding you through enemy encounters, moral choices, and item locations.
Walkthrough
- 1Return to the tracks and proceed down the subway tunnel.
- 2Go up the raised platform on the left. Wait for the railcar to pass.
- 3Return to the previous platform, face the tunnel, and prepare your pneumatic weapon.
- 4Wait for the railcar to return. Snipe the driver and then the gunner to cause the railcar to explode. Note: No ammo can be recovered from the exploded railcar.
- 5Run down the tunnel, extinguishing any lights.
- 6At the tunnel's end, snipe the lone guard.
- 7Proceed down the tracks and snipe the enemy by the sandbags.
- 8Continue down the tunnel and snipe the next two enemies. There are six enemies remaining: two by the fire and two on patrol.
- 9Moral Choice: To achieve the Hedge-hopper achievement, you must kill the prisoners. Kill the two patrollers when they are out of sight of the enemies by the campfire. Then, kill the two prisoners. This action results in a Moral Point loss.
- 10Kill the two guards by the campfire. You will lose another Moral Point for killing the last two enemies on this level. There is nothing of value in the two dead-end tunnels below the tracks.
- 11Return to the tracks and enter the doorway on the left side of the tunnel.
- 12Push open the door to the last room. On the right, find a supply crate containing an Automatic Shotgun, +10 BULLETS, and additional ammo. A Medkit is in the left corner of the room.
- 13Open the door under the light to end the level.
Tips
- The game mentions that you cannot achieve the Rescue Ranger, Invisible Man, and Hedge-hopper achievements in a single playthrough as they are incompatible.
- To get the Hedge-hopper achievement, you must kill all enemies, including the Red prisoners. Key kills include: the two Reds behind the troop transport, letting the guy under the tracks be executed (do not kill the interrogators beforehand), the two wounded Reds behind the Red frontline, letting the Fascist execute a prisoner or using a hand grenade in the cell (incendiary and sticky grenades may not always work), and the two Fascists in the railcar.
- To get the Invisible Soldier achievement, you cannot kill anyone, but you can knock enemies out.
- To get the Rescue Ranger achievement, knock out the Fascist before he executes the Red prisoners. It is now possible to achieve Invisible Soldier and Rescue Ranger in the same game.
- To gain a Moral Point, listen to the entire conversation of the Red leader near the troop transport train.
- If you need help reaching the manhole, refer to [4.1.1 Frontline - Invisible Man].
- The quickest way to get through Communist and Nazi lines is to sneak down the stairs to the left of the railcar, past the two guards on the lower platform, blow out the lamp, and wait for the guards to ascend the stairs before proceeding behind Nazi lines.
- The railcar can be destroyed by luring it to the top of the stairs and using a grenade. It remains stationary in front of the doorway but moves elsewhere on the tracks. Be aware that the railcar can run you over.
- To prevent the enemy from killing the middle prisoner (the Red leader), either kill the guard or alert him. You must kill the two guards on the tracks and the four enemies below. The middle prisoner stands up when he can be rescued; approach him for an achievement and a Moral Point. Kill the enemy at the far end of the tunnel by the exit door.
