Heads-Up Display

The Heads Up Display or HUD is the display on screen which tells the player information and stats relevant to the game. The Metro Video Game series has often been noted for being a game with very little HUD, which is intended to add to a sense of immersion and enguagement. While in Metro 2033 what HUD there is can only be accessed in real time (i.e.: there is no game-pausing inventory screen), Metro: Last Light has a separate inventory screen that is always available to players, provided they play on the regular difficulties. For a description of the HUD, refer to the table and images below. Players should note that most of the HUD is removed on the Ranger difficulties in Metro 2033, and indeed, all of it in Metro: Last Light making general management and certain levels a considerably harder task.
