Defend D6 until the bioweapon cache is completely destroyed | Chapter 30: D6 Metro: LL Guide

Wait for the train to pull in. Leave the car and listen to Miller's announcement broadcasted over the radio. After the soldiers disperse, approach the radio on your right, to find an Artyom's diary page.

Remain, for a moment, in the location in which you have found it. Turn right and interact with the equipment stand shown in the above screenshot. In the battles to come, you will probably need a rifle (a regular or a sniper one - including a good telescope!) and an assault rifle. It is not that important which gun you choose as your tertiary weapon. Soon you will receive an unique weapon to fill in the third slot in your inventory.

The last part to your preparations should be replenishing your ammo and first-aid kit supplies and that is why you should approach two nearby crates.

You can now position yourself behind the low wall that serves as a cover. Toggle crouch , as this is not going to limit your range dramatically and will allow you to limit the amount of damage you take in the forthcoming battles.

The enemy soldiers will launch their attack right after you experience a strong explosion. It is best to use the weaponry that was recommended earlier to eliminate them (i.e. a machine gun or an assault rifle, using the scope to your aid) (since the enemies are well armored, it is best to go for their heads). Apart from that, you can throw grenades at them on a regular basis, especially when they come in clusters.

Note - if you are planning on unlocking the achievement awarded for not killing anyone, unfortunately YOU CANNOT attack the Red Line soldiers (this applies to the entire chapter with the exception of the confrontation with the last group of soldiers). If this is the case, keep taking cover and allow your allies eliminate the enemy until you are promoted to the next scenes.

Do not worry if Artyom passes out for several moments. It is all pre-set. Continue shooting as you are being dragged away.

As soon as you regain control over your character, crouch as soon as possible, next to the closest metal cover and start shooting again at your enemies. Just like earlier, it is a good idea to make use of the weaponry at your disposal and to throw your grenades at them. Also, do not forget to keep healing Artyom, as soon as he sustains heavy damage, and he will be at the brink of dying.

After you repel the enemy forces, make use of the nearby crates to replenish your supplies. If, in spite of my suggestions, you still have not equipped a scoped rifle you can make up for that and find one next to one of the crates. It is especially recommended, because it is soon going to be of use.

Position yourself next to the wall to your left and wait for a tank to appear on the tracks that you can see in the distance. Crouch and start shooting at the soldiers that walk next to the tank, while remembering not to lean too much from behind your cover.

Wait for the tank to emerge from behind the cover and start shooting at the bar shown in the above screenshot. Continue until you destroy this element.

Start aiming now at the tank's wheels with your rifle, until you destroy them. Finally, keep shooting at the main part of the tank, i.e. the areas near the reflectors. You should soon destroy the enemy unit.

Turn left and go towards the wall that functions as the last barricade. Jump over it and examine the area to the right. On the crates, there is the last one of the Artyom's diary pages.

Replenish your supplies of ammo and pick up the Minigun (it is best to replace the gun for the one that you haven't used in the previous battles).

Crouch next to the wall that you have just jumped over, wait for the new units to arrive and discharge the minigun at them. To the extent it is possible, try and shoot in short series (you do not need to aim at the heads anymore), and eliminate, first, those who visibly come close to the barricade. Keep attacking until the next explosion occurs.

There are quite unclear premises when it comes to the last phase of the battle. You cannot do anything to make the soldiers with shields approach the barricade considerably, because the soldier wielding a flame thrower who follows them, will set this place on fire, which will kill you and the others.

Note - from now on, you can start eliminating the enemy soldiers, even if you want to unlock the achievement for not killing anyone.

Prepare a weapon with a scope (the sniper rifle or the assault rifle) and aim it at the enemy soldiers. Notice that, thanks to the zooming function, you can now aim at the small holes in the enemy shields (the above screenshot). Thanks to this, you will be able to get the soldier behind the individual shield and kill him.

Continue killing the shielded enemy soldiers (occasionally, you can also throw a frag grenade for them to play with), which will result in breaches in the enemy lines. Ultimately, you need to eliminate every single soldier with a shield. What is interesting, you do not need to pay extra attention to the soldier with the flame thrower because, devoid of any reinforcements or cover, he will soon die.

Note- I recommend that you now start reading the next subchapter in this guide, entitled Endings, which lays out the possible final to your adventure, as well as possible impact you may have on it.
