More weapon customisation options! They make everything from scrap in the Metro, but most attachments are pre-war. The Lolife did well, but everything else had a small selection. I'm thinking bayonets, under barrel grenade launchers, taping magazines (a no brainer really), different rounds you can change mid game (incendiary, buckshot, AP etc.). Can;t thin of many decent examples, but you get the idea.

Like you said, bolt actions. Russia has a huge selections of weapons on offer. USE THEM!

Make ramshackle weapons on par with pre war. I know they are inferior, but by the end of the game, I had an AK2012, Saiga and RPK. I wanted to use more interesting weapons. The Helsing anf Tihar are awesome, but fail at stealth, imo. The DLC did a great job, with ones like the flamethrower, bigun and hellbreath. I want powerful makeshift guns, more so than their pre war counterparts, but they're really rare, or even unique! For example, there is only one Hellbreath in game, on the surface, but the loaction changes every time. Some playthroughs you'll find it, some not

Conversely to my last point, pistols! In the novel, the pistol is a Makarov, rightly so as it is Russia. Why are there no pre-war pistols in game. There should be. Maybe they're rarer and more powerful than Lolife, Revolver, or maybe they're incredibly common, but weaker. Eitherway, they should be there.

Antique weapons. Russia still has a large stockpile of WWII weapons. I'm thinking Moisin Nagants, PTSDs, PPSH (submachinegun proper? Yes.), even some explosives like RPGs etc (Not WWII, I know). Why not? People would grab anything in the rush to the Metro, and Stalkers would take anything they could. I think there should be some, at least. Even beter if they are modified to be more ramshackle.

Can't think of anything else at the mo, but I'm sure I will.
