Depot is the twenty-sixth level in Metro: Last Light.

Overview

Artyom must make his way through the surface section of the Metro train depot, with the help of the Baby Dark One, on his way to Polis.

Diary Entries

34. The Baby Dark One will be behind some bars, talking to you. After he is done head through the door to the right and into the first room on your left, a bathroom, and head through a small hole in the back left corner; the note is on the ground through the tunnel.

Moral Points

Gain:

• After exiting the tunnel at the very beginning, stick to the left-hand side. There is a garage with two closed doors, one open that has a truck poking out. Continue past this point to an entrance in the wall, then enter it. A building with a collapsed ceiling leads into the garage. Be careful as there is an explosive trap. Entering the garage earns a point.
• In the area where the Reds first stage an ambush, in the center of the room is a hidden passage that leads beneath the room. Entering it earns a point.
• In the third area where the Reds are waiting, there is another hidden passage. There are two entrances, one on either side of the room. The first is a square-shaped hole guarded by a soldier, the other in a circular manhole. There is a dead soldier at the bottom of either entrance. Entering either earns a point.
• In the fourth area where the Reds are waiting, there is a hidden passage that can be reached by the catwalks above the metro cars or by stairs at the back of the room. Entering this passage earns a point.
• Knock Lesnitsky unconscious.

Lose:

• Kill Lesnitsky.

Notes

• In the first ambush area, there are two tunnels. The second is short and contains a safe key, along with a stash of ammo. The safe can be found in a room in the ambush area, near where the trader used to be as you first entered the level.
• Near the end of the 2nd area to the left side, there is a corpse holding a Silenced VSV with 2x Optic.
• There is a door that leads to the third ambush area beside the underground passage, opening the door will alert the enemies immediately even if they are far away from your position. The door should be avoided if you want to play stealthily.
• In the third area, there's a safe key in the ignition of the truck. A locked safe is in the same corridor as the communications radio.
• If you enter the tunnel where the Reds see a Lurker, you will witness a soldier being attacked by a Lurker. You can then loot his corpse afterwards for some MGR.
• There are around 40 Reds in the depot with about 20 Reds with Pavel at Red Square, showing that they are getting desperate when it comes to killing Artyom. If the player listens to the conversation between the Reds, they show that they are scared of him when one of them mentions he took out a whole squad of Nazis on the Hanza train and states that the creature, meaning the Dark One, was more human.
• This is the last shop in the game, so afterward you may shoot MGRs without fear of being unable to afford future purchases.
• If the player chooses to spare Lesnitsky, his gas mask can be found on the floor nearby, realistically resulting in him dying regardless of the player's choice. This is mostly likely a developer oversight.

Shop Inventory

The following weapons can be purchased in this level:

• Heavy Automatic Shotgun (Abzats)
• Tikhar
• RPK (RPK-74)
• Preved
• AKSU (AKS-74U) (Ranger difficulty mode only)
• Lolife

Bugs

• In the first area where you meet the Reds, stabbing the soldier close to the stairwell at the end of the train you come into the room on top of might cause the combat music to start without the Reds actually knowing you're there. The music will continue even after you kill all the enemies in the area. The only way to stop the music is to either reload to a point before you killed the soldier and deal with him in some other way, or restart the mission altogether if that's no longer an option.
• If you wish to customize a Helsing at the weapon shop in this level, do not buy Helsing bolts before customizing a Helsing. Due to a bug, the game will reset your Helsing ammunition counter to zero every time you open the customization menu for the Helsing. The only workaround for this bug is to customize your Helsing before you buy any Helsing bolts, then buy Helsing bolts and refrain from opening the Helsing's customization menu again. Please note that any previous bolts you picked up in earlier levels will be "forgotten" by the game should you open the Helsing's customization menu at all in this level.
