I didn't even realize this Trophy was so rare and difficult to people. I think it's because I way over-abused the throwing knives which are super OP in this game.
Rare doesn't always mean that people failed. It can also mean that people didn't bother in the first place. In this case I think it's both. And after getting 100% on Xbox I can understand those who didn't bother
Yeah, I was honestly surprised how little I ended up getting stuck somewhere after seeing how few people unlocked it. I was even inting at certain points too 😭
@@Snamwiches Well to be fair the first unmissable achievement was unlocked only by ~50% of players (on Xbox), so evidently the rarity isn't just due to it being hard, seems like half the players didn't even play for five minutes
@@HumongousBeastBoiI enjoyed both DLCs but Sam's Story was better IMHO in terms of gameplay. Two Colonels was more of a short story while Sam's was an actual expansion.

12:36 *narrowly avoids tripwire* "Wow, good thing i saw these, that could have been bad." *immediately triggers second tripwire* You really do have the best timing
Personally, I got the platinum myself and to be honest, the hardest thing for me was passing through the swamp village undetected. I replayed that part dozens of time while playing on the hardest difficulty.
I remember trying to do it myself, after like 15+ attempts I got so pissed off I just started to kill them all. I lost out on the achievement but I sure as hell felt a lot better lol
I got the platinum for this game too and yeah the village was rough. I had to replay it several times, once you get past the first part it was pretty easy if you know shortcuts and stuff until you get to the boat part. Then it becomes hard again, I remember my game crashed right at the boss battle at the end and I had to do the level ALL over again. I wanted to die 😂.
It's actually easier if you abuse sleep to nighttime in campsites but the part where you steal a boat is still infuriating in ranger hardcore. Edit: completed that part a few days ago after I saw a video where they completed that part without a boat and got forest child. Hours wasted on that location. (Forest child is an achievement where NOBODY must spot you during the Taiga level WITHOUT killing, attacking, or knocking out)
I went straight to Full Ranger, first run. I got to a point where zombie humanoids would grab me out of nowhere, and after a struggle, I died. I eventually had to look up a walkthrough, and figure out what to do. It was mashing a button.
Ranger hardcore full dive is actually a blast, would recommend, after one or 2 normal playthrough you get to know what you can and cant interact with in general, super immersive
I played the first two games on the second hardest so I could still have HUD for quick time events, then did full dive right after. Did full dive my first time with exodus. Never knew this achievement would be so hard lol
10:55 - Jaw dropping as I recognize the soundtrack. Oh, the memories! My brothers and I still like to hold speed play challenges with the Toy Story 2 game! (Can't call it a speedrun, because I don't spend that much time training.)
For me Ranger Hardcore was quite relentless. I remember when I first arrived in the Volga level only to repeatedly be sniped by some people from at least 100m away with terrifying precision.
Awesome video man, this game has been in my backlog for so long and seeing this makes me really want to push it to the top of the queue. Keep up the great work!
Beating ranger hardcore is a hard challenge, but i think the forest child achievement is 100x harder. The criteria is so strict with 0 indication of if you failed or not until you reach the point where the achievement is awarded. The final village where you have to do a stealth section in the fucking boat is terrible, you cant knock out the lever guard or the guards that overlook the exit so its a literal gamble if they decide youre spotted in the boat and you have to reset if you so much as hear a music queuue or yell.
Exodus on Ranger Hardcore is genuinely pretty hard. The first two are pretty easy if you’re familiar with those games although last light has a few parts that are particularly punishing but aside from a few stand out moments in last light it’s a pretty easy experience for the first 2 games. What really made Exodus on Ranger Hardcore difficult was just the fact that you can’t save whenever you want. You can go up to 40 minutes to an hour without getting an auto save at some points and then you just get hit by a random stray bullet. I absolutely love hard-core post apocalyptic first person shooters that are punishing and brutal, but exodus is just obnoxiously hard at certain points and it’s pretty obvious they didn’t really play test it, the caspian sniper tower being the worst part easily.
I found it relatively easy, even when my very first blind run of the game on launch was on ranger hardcore. This isn’t a “look at me, I’m so cool” moment or anything, I think it was solely because of my playstyle. I used stealth for every human encounter, which meant the game was piss easy. I only killed when I was literally forced to (because I was scared of failing the good ending). Stealth is genuinely laughably easy and broken in these games, and the “”correct”” stealth route is usually painfully obvious. I imagine the game would be a lot more difficult if you were actively seeking out gunfights, which is where I think a lot of people may have struggled.
@@EagleVenomUK The Caspian tower was absolutely busted. Once I got up into the tower and was then having to deal with the group of enemies that pull up to the tower in vehicles and start shooting at you, they would be shooting at me with Shamblers or SMG’s and just a single one of their rounds from an absurdly far distance barely clipping me would instantaneously game end me. I never had any issues quite like that at any other point in the game, but just a single one of the rounds hitting me would instantly kill me every single time, and they had pixel perfect accuracy. Clipping me through the tiniest little gaps in the rusted sheets of metal. I had to cheese the encounter by finding a pixel peek spot somewhere in the metal sheets where they couldn’t hit me from. It was absolutely horrendous.
The long load times and distance between checkpoints really make it a way more frustrating experience to play than the last two games. Stealth is OP in certain parts but if you make one mistake it's a waaayyy longer wait to try again then 2033 or last light. I'm on the volga in my first hardcore playthrough and I'm honestly dreading the bear fight the most, that thing was a total bullet sponge on my normal playthrough
Thanks for the effort. I really enjoy these videos and loved seeing you struggle and succeed through this great game. Looking forward to your next „project“ :D
The music choice from the ape section, to the end of the game, was absolutely comical. I was genuinely "lmaoing" throughout the whole thing. Nice work!
Fun fact: they are two human torches in marvel, the first ww2 was an android named Jim Hammond and second is obviously Johnny storm of the fantastic four. The reason why Johnny chose his hero name was out of respect for the original one.
I completed this game on Ranger Hardcore. It was awesome. However, some levels are not actually optimized for that difficulty. Like "TAIGA Bear Fight"... "Two colonels nosalis Fights". So It was pretty difficult tbh.
Proud to say I've platinumed this game and completed Iron Mode. Took me about 70 hours. 😸 Hardest part for me was the giant worms in the sewer which took at least 20+ tries.
I’ve 100% completed the base game about a dozen times, obviously getting every single achievement as well. Then the 2 expansions came out and my save data became corrupted and kept self-deleting. Despite this annoying glitch, Exodus is a phenomenal game and I highly recommend it as a must-play for the post-apocalypse genre. I’d go so far as to say it’s even better than Fallout 4.
i always catch myself saying "damn this guy has no gamesense or aim", then i remind myself he's playing on console for most of these achievements, and that i do not have the patience and mental fortitude to try over and over like he does. Which is a sign of a true gamer (insanity). It's so comedic to watch you fail at the silly stuff, or say something just at the perfect time, and yet go back and try again still with a smile on your face. It's crazy, love every second of your videos
PC vs console is honestly a preference. I prefer console to be honest. Being bad at aiming is just something people struggle with, 100% a skill issue. Comfortability and practice is what it boils down to. If me and you had a 1v1 with you on controller and me on keyboard, we would both be out of our comfort zone and perform badly.
oh, "dance battles" reminds me of an old webcomic called "erfworld", where "dance fighting" actually gave "units" a combat bonus. fortunately for the protagonist, one of his teammates was a "croakamancer" who was good at dancing... yes, it made a reference to MJ's "thriller"!
I did Ranger Hardcore, mininum, on my first run, after many deaths, trial and error, having to come up with new strategies, learn from my mistakes, adapting, learning new mechanics and features, sneaking, whilst doing good deeds and killing as little humans as possible, I did it! My Perseverance payed off! Also the funny part is that Harcdcore IS the intended way to play the game, that's the TRUE Metro experience, so you're fully immersed, and imo I love having to check every bit to see my supplies and ammo hud
I laughed at 11:32 when he tries to sneak from behind and there's no entrance so he goes "ok plan B, let's go back inside" not knowing there was a ladder on that corner that leads directly to the thing he needs to touch to open the gate lol
As usual, lovely to see Mr Snam of Wiches suff… I mean… entertain us with trying to unlock extremely hard achievements (also, RIP the dude’s glass legs at the beginning)
I am one of the very few to actually get, all I'm going to say is that it was absolutely fun, I love metro games so I had a blast with playing on ranger hardcore
I did this on all the games on Xbox it took a month of constant trying oddly enough it wasn't the combat that was the hardest part but going through areas with the gas mask because I always ran out of filters
@@shinreed5927 the games are great I almost quit in the second game because of that giant bear fight I had because the radiation would kill me with only 15 seconds of filter left and I couldn't kill the bear in time but they're an amazing trilogy
Tip for future playthroughs, equipping then unequipping the mask for a brief moment will refill the choke meter, you can turn ten seconds into a lot of tine that way
@0:46 yuuuup I died multiple times from fall damage like that LMAO I found that to be more dangerous than the enemies when going for this achievement! I 100%ed the achievement list on both Xbox and PC for Exodus along with all other Metro and Redux games for the 360/ XB1/PC haha great series
Im not what one might call a gamer but I do enjoy playing games I remember struggling maybe even more than you in my playthrough on reader, hell I didn't even finish last light because I got stuck *ON READER* mad respect for your commitment to the challenge. Great video, keep it up!
I remember playing the slav jank of 2033 and absolutely loved every ounce of it. From the score to the fighting stealth and the Ai actually being competent
Honestly though, I feel like metro has some of the most punishing stealth in a shooter. Even on easy, you can get spotted super fast, and enemies will even ignore your distractions if you have alerted them, but they don’t know your location.
Beside the fact that you are incredible sympathic and stay happy even after the 100th annoying death: There tons of brilliant things in your videos, for example the donkey kong music when the gorillas come and lots more :D
Was literally replaying this game the other day. I forgot how frustrating the “bridge” section could be! (Was also trying the no-kill approach as well)
I didn’t think it was that bad honestly I’m on my second play through on the tug boat section I got lucky and after knocking out a few they all surrendered and the other part you can just walk by 90% of the enemies because the game always makes a stealth way for every encounter it’s just finding it which isn’t that hard considering it only give you the choice between walking straight in or around it
I always heard good things about this game, and this sounds and looks like a hard yet really fun challenge, always happy to see you doing these things! PS: I heard 'Interplanetary Spark' from Yakuza 0 being used, that is a very rad song, y'all should check it out.
Can't believe I hadn't subbed to you already?! It always amazes me, mate, how you can laugh when you die at theses horrible challenges you put yourself through. I'm the "shout F##king hell" and throw controller type. 😂 Anyway bro you're a legend! Much 💙 and respect from 🏴🇬🇧
I love this saga so much that I remember that Metro Exodus was the first game I pre-bought, and I never get tired of playing it over and over again until I have it 100% even with the DLCs. The only thing I hated about this game was the loading times, being a newly released game, minimum 1 minute loading time if you died and at least 3 minutes every time you continue your game (on xbox one) 💀
The worst thing about the Hardcore achievement is that Artyom is not in the picture of it with Anna. He could have his gears and gas mask equipped so that nobody will see his face and the picture with me complete! Instead, the picture feels empty with a hole in it. I set it as my background either way, and it was kind of a struggle to complete it, but eventually I did it).
Ah the true way to play metro.... Ranger Hardcore, Full Dive. Russian Audio, with your language preference as subtitles. And a bottle of vodka in your hands.
Ngl, idk about most of the games you play. But dammit if you’re not entertaining and hilarious to watch, so I still watch all your vids. Keep it up man!
I got this achievement when I first played this game I didnt even know it was rare lol. Its really not difficult even without the button prompts, if you've played an fps before you can work out x is interact. The only hard part is before you actually leave the metro everything else isn't much harder than most hard difficulties in games. I've only played this difficulty but the realism is so much fun I can't imagine it being fun on the easier difficulties
Finally decided to try this game, sadly I have a weird coltrol where buttons get hold or pressed magically from time to time, i resorted to cheats to not go insane. The PC port isnt the best and many scenarios are bit overscripted. But the rest of the game is fine and keeps me hooked so far :)
What song was it playing at 32:21 I vaguely remember it from somewhere but I can't quite put my finger on where. Also shocked how few people managed to get through it after seeing you go through this, nice job.
@@steelbear2063 true, but since the books ended with 2035 and this one has a pretty conclusive ending either way, it could’ve ended here without any issues. Plus idk if it’s gonna continue with Artyom, so if they don’t then I guess it’s just the end of the trilogy. Either way, Metro fucks
I feel your pain my man, I just beat the game on ranger hardcore yesterday, and I also went for the full strength achievement, so I had to have all three guys coming with me, and I also did the forest child achievement in that playthrough, going through the taiga level without attacking any human, not even knocking them out, and don't get seen by anyone. Those three together was so extremely hard. So I totally get your pain. Although I was fortunate and did it on pc over the xbox app, so I had mouse and keyboard.
I've always loved the Metro series and had quite a bit of fun getting all of the achievements in them. Worst thing I did to myself though was when trying to get the Shadow Ranger achievement in Last Light. I neglected to notice that it allows you to kill humans if forced to. By not noticing that I had an awful time trying to survive through some segments without killing anyone. I've heard mixed things about whether you actually can kill during certain segments but regardless of that those segments suck to try getting through.
@Snamwiches Checking the guides on TA a lot of people say killing people in those segments voids the achievement. But apparently some dev stuff mentions it's allowed so no idea what's up with it. I can't remember what difficulty I played on so that may have made things harder than they needed to be.
Snam, you really could've ramped up the difficulty by playing Ranger Hardcore on Iron Mode to get that achievement as well. Every time you died, you would have to restart the current level from the beginning, no checkpoints. I died in some stupid ways getting this achievement (though to be fair, I didn't attempt it in Ranger Hardcore). My favorite being when the game would ignore that I was pressing buttons during the QTE events.
I really love your content man! I recently watched your outlast whistleblower stream and i just loved everything about it. But unfortunatly it‘s very difficult for me to watch them cus in my time zone you stream at 1.30 am 😅😢. Maybe i‘ll still look into one sometimes. Keep up the good work!
I didn't even realize this Trophy was so rare and difficult to people. I think it's because I way over-abused the throwing knives which are super OP in this game.
Rare doesn't always mean that people failed. It can also mean that people didn't bother in the first place. In this case I think it's both. And after getting 100% on Xbox I can understand those who didn't bother

The fact that the bear fight is just as hard in any other difficulty other than story mode 😂
You can actually trigger the bear falling without expending all your ammunition, just stand by the cliff and let the bear attack you.

As usual, lovely to see Mr Snam of Wiches suff… I mean… entertain us with trying to unlock extremely hard achievements (also, RIP the dude’s glass legs at the beginning)
I am one of the very few to actually get, all I'm going to say is that it was absolutely fun, I love metro games so I had a blast with playing on ranger hardcore
I did this on pc, i then attempted the dlc after taking a month break, forgot the controls and just havent looked back. those qtes are BRUTAL
I did this on all the games on Xbox it took a month of constant trying oddly enough it wasn't the combat that was the hardest part but going through areas with the gas mask because I always ran out of filters
@cyberklashnikov3062 I feel that pain brother, the mines in the dlc made me just end it. I love the game tho
@@shinreed5927 the games are great I almost quit in the second game because of that giant bear fight I had because the radiation would kill me with only 15 seconds of filter left and I couldn't kill the bear in time but they're an amazing trilogy
Tip for future playthroughs, equipping then unequipping the mask for a brief moment will refill the choke meter, you can turn ten seconds into a lot of tine that way
@Furionic696 tyty I'm planning on 100% at some point in the future and will make use of this
Snam using hollowknight music at 34:30 🤟🥹
Also hella congratulations man 😄
@0:46 yuuuup I died multiple times from fall damage like that LMAO I found that to be more dangerous than the enemies when going for this achievement!
I 100%ed the achievement list on both Xbox and PC for Exodus along with all other Metro and Redux games for the 360/ XB1/PC haha great series
Im not what one might call a gamer but I do enjoy playing games
I remember struggling maybe even more than you in my playthrough on reader, hell I didn't even finish last light because I got stuck *ON READER*
mad respect for your commitment to the challenge. Great video, keep it up!
coming to this very late but at 27:15 the best way to fight the bear is simply run around him and then climb up that ladder
I wonder how many people appreciate your NBA references/jokes likes I do lol. Top tier humor
It’s comments like these that keep me doing them ❤️
The Metro series is one of my favorites. You should go for the Iron Mode achievement on Ranger Hardcore difficulty.
IT'S FINALLY HERE. LOVE YOU, SNAM!
I remember playing the slav jank of 2033 and absolutely loved every ounce of it. From the score to the fighting stealth and the Ai actually being competent
Honestly though, I feel like metro has some of the most punishing stealth in a shooter. Even on easy, you can get spotted super fast, and enemies will even ignore your distractions if you have alerted them, but they don’t know your location.
Did it twice. Even went in for a naughty little iron mode, all modifiers ranger hard-core playthrough. Please kill me.
I love the Metro games so much, and now I can watch Snammy hurt himself playing it!
Its that great energy during loss that makes this channel SO FREAKING GOOD. keep those good vibes compadre
The spider level gave me so much anxiety I had to have my roommate finish it lol
21:24 I've never expected the game to actually include intrusive thoughts
Let's gooo! Always worth my time to watch and can't wait for more videos bud
Beside the fact that you are incredible sympathic and stay happy even after the 100th annoying death: There tons of brilliant things in your videos, for example the donkey kong music when the gorillas come and lots more :D
😂 many classic one liners and general remarks while playing as well.
Was literally replaying this game the other day. I forgot how frustrating the “bridge” section could be! (Was also trying the no-kill approach as well)
I didn’t think it was that bad honestly I’m on my second play through on the tug boat section I got lucky and after knocking out a few they all surrendered and the other part you can just walk by 90% of the enemies because the game always makes a stealth way for every encounter it’s just finding it which isn’t that hard considering it only give you the choice between walking straight in or around it
An actual Metro video? In 2023? Christmas must have come early
I like this game so much i manage to get every achievement on steam even on the DLC
I absolutely love that Snam is getting more and more attention, especially with the sponsors. You are such an awesome creator. Love your stuff.
I always heard good things about this game, and this sounds and looks like a hard yet really fun challenge, always happy to see you doing these things!
PS: I heard 'Interplanetary Spark' from Yakuza 0 being used, that is a very rad song, y'all should check it out.
The entire Yakuza 0 soundtrack bangs honestly
This man is an achievement earning machine
Can't believe I hadn't subbed to you already?!
It always amazes me, mate, how you can laugh when you die at theses horrible challenges you put yourself through.
I'm the "shout F##king hell" and throw controller type. 😂
Anyway bro you're a legend!
Much 💙 and respect from 🏴🇬🇧
"This is going surprisingly well" *immediately afterwards dies*
Those spider creatures scared the crap out of me when I first played the game, plus the way you have to crank up your flashlight
When you learn the map of the Metro games, they games become very easy on any difficulty using stealth. (my favorite series of all time)
I love this saga so much that I remember that Metro Exodus was the first game I pre-bought, and I never get tired of playing it over and over again until I have it 100% even with the DLCs. The only thing I hated about this game was the loading times, being a newly released game, minimum 1 minute loading time if you died and at least 3 minutes every time you continue your game (on xbox one) 💀
14:26 it sounds like theres a motorhead song playing ever so faintly in the background lmao
The worst thing about the Hardcore achievement is that Artyom is not in the picture of it with Anna.
He could have his gears and gas mask equipped so that nobody will see his face and the picture with me complete! Instead, the picture feels empty with a hole in it.
I set it as my background either way, and it was kind of a struggle to complete it, but eventually I did it).
Ah the true way to play metro....
Ranger Hardcore, Full Dive.
Russian Audio, with your language preference as subtitles.
And a bottle of vodka in your hands.
Ngl, idk about most of the games you play. But dammit if you’re not entertaining and hilarious to watch, so I still watch all your vids. Keep it up man!
I have the platinum, it wasn't to hard honestly, definitely one of the more easy platinum's I've got, and I did the last bit of it in iron mode.
I got this achievement when I first played this game I didnt even know it was rare lol. Its really not difficult even without the button prompts, if you've played an fps before you can work out x is interact. The only hard part is before you actually leave the metro everything else isn't much harder than most hard difficulties in games. I've only played this difficulty but the realism is so much fun I can't imagine it being fun on the easier difficulties
4:47 literally me
I have a bad habit of watching this guy’s videos when I have to be up for work in less than 5 hours
Finally decided to try this game, sadly I have a weird coltrol where buttons get hold or pressed magically from time to time, i resorted to cheats to not go insane. The PC port isnt the best and many scenarios are bit overscripted. But the rest of the game is fine and keeps me hooked so far :)
Lmao dude all of your basketball references are absolutely hilarious. Poor James Harden
Love, love, love your videos! Makes my day whenever I see a new upload. Thanks man!!
What song was it playing at 32:21 I vaguely remember it from somewhere but I can't quite put my finger on where. Also shocked how few people managed to get through it after seeing you go through this, nice job.
Ayyyyye. I just got done going through and platinuming this! Such a good game and great finale to a great series
Well, there's another Metro game on the way
@@steelbear2063 true, but since the books ended with 2035 and this one has a pretty conclusive ending either way, it could’ve ended here without any issues. Plus idk if it’s gonna continue with Artyom, so if they don’t then I guess it’s just the end of the trilogy. Either way, Metro fucks
suprised Snam isn’t wearing a straight jacket at this point after all the mental torture these achievements bring him
Everytime I Re-Up on Weed there’s always a new snam video up. It’s like a birthday every time
Love ya Snam
I’ve been watchin since like you’re third video and I’m so happy for you that you’re getting sponsorships good work man
"These guys go down fast...like me."
Pause.
I kid, I kid. Thanks for the quality content as usual.
I feel your pain my man, I just beat the game on ranger hardcore yesterday, and I also went for the full strength achievement, so I had to have all three guys coming with me, and I also did the forest child achievement in that playthrough, going through the taiga level without attacking any human, not even knocking them out, and don't get seen by anyone. Those three together was so extremely hard. So I totally get your pain. Although I was fortunate and did it on pc over the xbox app, so I had mouse and keyboard.
I've always loved the Metro series and had quite a bit of fun getting all of the achievements in them.
Worst thing I did to myself though was when trying to get the Shadow Ranger achievement in Last Light. I neglected to notice that it allows you to kill humans if forced to. By not noticing that I had an awful time trying to survive through some segments without killing anyone. I've heard mixed things about whether you actually can kill during certain segments but regardless of that those segments suck to try getting through.
Yeah, always sucks when the guidelines are in a grey area. Congrats on getting it done though!
@Snamwiches Checking the guides on TA a lot of people say killing people in those segments voids the achievement. But apparently some dev stuff mentions it's allowed so no idea what's up with it. I can't remember what difficulty I played on so that may have made things harder than they needed to be.
Ranger hardcore- survival was the real metro experience in the first two games
Snam, you really could've ramped up the difficulty by playing Ranger Hardcore on Iron Mode to get that achievement as well. Every time you died, you would have to restart the current level from the beginning, no checkpoints.
I died in some stupid ways getting this achievement (though to be fair, I didn't attempt it in Ranger Hardcore). My favorite being when the game would ignore that I was pressing buttons during the QTE events.
Metro as a series is one of my favourites to date. Really enjoyed watching
I am still stunned to this day that Snam only has 200k subs at the moment he needs to hit a million now XD
I really love your content man! I recently watched your outlast whistleblower stream and i just loved everything about it. But unfortunatly it‘s very difficult for me to watch them cus in my time zone you stream at 1.30 am 😅😢. Maybe i‘ll still look into one sometimes. Keep up the good work!
