Find the switch to lift the gate back out of the way | Chapter 13: Bandits Metro: LL Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Go towards the station. Soon, a guard will start coming your way, and it would be a good idea to hide in one of the side-rooms, because he is equipped with a torchlight and he could notice you. After you knock him down, or kill him, search through the abovementioned side-room to find a lot of supplies and the Artyom's diary page shown in the above screenshot.

The railway station is, in a way, divided into two parts. It's the area to the left, and to the right of the tracks. I strongly recommend that you secure the entire area, because, even if you open the gate, you will have to ride through here. First of all, take care of the area to the right side of the tracks, because that is where most bandits, who are keeping an eye on the tracks, are staying. The closest entrance to the area to the right has been shown in the above screenshot.

Destroy the lamp you can see in the distance and come closer to the guard crouching over the fire. After you dispose of him, put out the fire. Remember, at the same time, to neutralize systematically all light sources as you go through the station.

Go now through the narrow corridor and eliminate all of the guards on your way that are watching the tracks. The fact that they are turned away from you is going to make things way easier. Also, watch out for the guard sitting on the crates (the screenshot), and stay as close to the wall on your right as possible, while approaching him.

After you have secured the entire area to the right, search it for supplies (corpses, crates), return to where you have started and go left, for a change. Here, almost all of the bandits are staying inside the train so, be careful while approaching the standing or sitting enemies. (screenshot 1), and ignore, or kill, the sleeping ones (screenshot 2).

The only exception to the rule is the one shown in the above screenshot who, just like the bandits in the area to the right of the tracks, is looking at the tracks. Kill him or knock him out and put out the nearby oil lamp. Just like previously, after you have secured the entire area to the left of the tracks, search it thoroughly (corpses, containers).

Return now to the area to the right of the tracks and make your way to the very end to reach the switch shown in the above screenshot. Pulling the lever will open the passage to the last part of the tunnels.
