Resting

Resting is a new feature in Metro Exodus that gives players the ability to change the time of day at will.

Overview
When at a safe spot, Artyom can find a bed to sleep in - effectively allowing us to fastforward to night or daytime, as well as restoring Artyom's health. Also, after resting and leaving the safe spot, you will get your game saved automatically (which is very important for Ranger Hardcore difficulty). Depending on what hour it is, human enemies may be more spread out and alert or concentrated in specfic areas, but mostly resting with fewer guards keeping watch at night. However, it is after sundown that most mutants begin to roam the surface of post-apocalyptic Russia.
