Experience Faction Pack DLC (Metro: Last Light)
Developer's blog of downloadable content #1The General idea
Welcome to the blog of the developer of downloadable content for Metro: Last Light!
In this series we're going to talk about the upcoming sets of downloadable content for Metro: Last Light and will open to you the secrets of the development process.
1. Set groups
When we began to think about downloadable content for Metro: Last Light, I made some rules.
Firstly (and most importantly), don't cut anything intended for the game to be included in the content.
And secondly, the content should not change the ending or even any way affect the main game plot.
We wanted the DLC was perceived as a separate structure. If you have played Metro: Last Light and it passed, you have truly completed the game. You don't need to buy any alternative endings no prologue to get the full enjoyment from the game. The story of Artyom in Metro: Last Light is self-contained and fully revealed in the game itself.
On the contrary, we wanted to explore the process the Metro and to embody the content of the new principles and improvements of Metro: Last Light that are not included in the main campaign.
First up is the faction pack. It includes three original single player missions, each you play as a new character. But, in fact, each character is a specialist, working on one of the three major factions...
Creating a storyline Artyom in Metro: Last Light, we tried to make it so that the player always appreciate the consequences of their actions. You decide who your character will be a deadly cold-blooded killer or a humane person, capable of compassion. (And made by you in the course of the game decisions determine what ending is waiting for you.)
The faction pack is your motivation more clear. This means that we gave the player the freedom to do what I want and not worry about the consequences!
In Mission 1 you play for a sniper of a special unit of the red line. Your task is to penetrate the Outpost of the Reich. This is a huge complex structure, where it is necessary to get around. Actually, we wanted to include a sniper sequence in the Subway, but it seemed like a far-fetched and not entirely consistent with the campaign Artem. But now you play as one of the most formidable snipers in the Red, and it all makes sense J
We give you a new silenced weapons, including the deadly rapid-fire sniper rifle. Fans of Metro 2033, the environment will seem familiar – we took an abandoned Outpost of the Reich, guarding the entrance to Black station, and improved it. Added a new dynamic weather effects and lighting, which we introduced in core 4A Engine for Last Light.
In Mission 2 you become heavy infantryman Reich walking tank, protected by strong armour and are equipped with almost the most powerful weapons in the Subway, including a makeshift heavy machine gun and etticiency Rail. This is a truly unique weapon that uses ammunition to Tihar, driving them to the deadly speed of electromagnetic waves.
Again, in Metro: Last Light we didn't want to put Artem in such conditions, in which the player will need to mow countless enemies. And we had to carefully balance the amount of ammunition and resources for the game plot... you Can safely say that Reich trooper these restrictions do not apply! In this mission, we wanted you to be happy to use the most destructive weapons and never regretted using them...
Event Missions take place on the front Line. This dilapidated war underground bridge separating the two armies ' positions. And Yes, it's the same name a level from Metro 2033
Finally, in Mission 3, we are very free to experiment with the basics of Metro gameplay.
You play as a cadet, the future of the Ranger Policy, tasked to explore a ruined library, and find the artifacts. (Yeah, this is the Great library from Metro 2033. Feel the trend?)
You start in a safe zone with a gun, a limited amount of ammunition and equipment. And then you go ahead and explore the vast surface. Just do not forget to check the level of clean air in the filter. Filters can only buy for cash, and the cash you get, only selling found treasures.
Each trip to the surface forcing to keep in mind point of no return: do you have enough time to return to the safe zone? Facilitate the task: as you progress you will be able to light the torches and screw the light bulb to mark the route, like Theseus unwinding his thread on the way to the center of the labyrinth...
We hope you enjoy these three slices of gameplay Metro. I also hope that players of Metro 2033 will see our reinvention of the three favorite fan-made levels.
Our next piece of downloadable content – set the Tower. He did not like the set groups, but we'll discuss this in the next issue of our blog. And yet enjoy the ride, hold on tight.

It is still 2 missions for the Germans to defend the base so-so , but for snipers is just super awesome , gut chustvuesh live atmosphere well done guys.Waiting for more such missions with Sally up, even mysticism, all the prices of the game was not. I think the library generally will be super
Will the passing DLC to the main story?
Took a break from the company and included for the sniper.
If I kill everyone in the mission for the sniper I will be credited for a bad deed?

Choose Chapter, and the New tasks, and, in fact, choose your desired job.
that's a lot of bugs and defects, it is still that level of Stalker policy.So,what can I say, did not like that the level ended unexpectedly when I brought subway map-2 and decided to rest(remain),although the list still had not found things, then the developers could draw models for searched cupboards, tables, etc., so you can distinguish what you searched and what is not, and a rather meager selection of weapons in this mission too saddened..

if you played need to listen to the Shaman says that the map of the underground of 2 ha is a myth toist if you can find a metro map 2 once you have passed over the RP( polis Ranger )
Steam started to download something the size of 130 megabytes, perhaps a patch with the fixes for the DLC.

As for the mission for the Reich rifle to recharge?tell me!
A box of supplies from the left side is (=
so do not tell ))))))) I'm not talking about balls,and about charging...there is a voltmeter(the round thing with the arrow),as in the flashlight...))))
When the rifle is taken,there is still talk that it often is necessary to recharge..and how? All the buttons were piratical all, shooting longer wanted,and the charge ends quickly
No,it does not work. Click like flashlight,my character pulls the charging pagerage,as well as a flashlight,but on the rifle all the zeros,the charging does not pass. she poteryaetsya separately, but how,damn it?
Just watched the video that in the beginning...there's a hero ( 3:00) somehow the lever up and down on the rifle and pulls it's charging ... what's this button on the keyboard?
