Metro: Last Light - Faction Pack

Game cover: Metro: Last Light - Faction Pack

Description

Faction Pack is the third downloadable content (DLC) for Metro: Last Light and the first of four included in Metro: Last Light - Season Pass. This DLC adds three extra missions to the main game, each centering around a character from the factions in the original game. The player can now play as a Polis Ranger, a Special Detachment Sniper of the Red Line as well as a Reich Heavy Squad Soldier.

Faction Pack also provides three new weapons to help survive the post-apocalyptic wastes:

  • Hellbreath
  • Medved
  • Silent Sniper Rifle

This DLC includes three extra story missions which vary in gameplay style and can be played in any order:

  • Heavy Squad - This mission places the player in a role of a heady squad Reich soldier names Hans. The Red Army is attacking the Reich and the player needs to hold the line. The mission is split intro three segments, first they have to use gatling gun to hold off the invasion of the Red Army infantry, second they have to take out the enemy snipers, and last they have to destroy the tank coming from the rails using a grenade launcher given by one of the comrades.
  • Kshatriya - As one of the rangers, the player is stationed in Polis Kshatriya base where their goal is to explore the great library and retrieve the subway map from the safe room. The player starts with limited supplies and have to buy filters, weapons and ammo from the local vendor. The only source of bullet currency is by retrieving various objects and selling them (the player is limited to carry only up to five different objects at the time). The local packrat has a board listing all the items he is looking for and willing to pay for. Unlike in the base game, when monsters are killed here, they can be checked to find bullets. This map has to be explored gradually and the player is forced to save the game progress by resting in the base, there is no progressive autosave feature as in other regular missions. The explored dark tunnels often have torches which can be lit by using a lighter, and broken light bulbs which can be replaced. Clearing some room of the monsters will not make it permanently safe as monsters come back after a while. The main monster problem will be nosalises with occasional librarian creatures when reaching the great library's inner sanctum. Back at the base, the player can also purchase suits that can help in combat or pass through heavily irradiated areas.
  • Sniper Team - Using a special new sniper rifle not previously available in the base game, the player plays as a Red Army sniper with a goal to pass through a building under heavy presence of the Reich infantry. Enemy weapons can not be picked up and have only a sniper rifle and a close-range machine-gun, both silenced. This mission is entirely stealth driven and the player must not be discovered because the moment enemy guards ring the alarm bell, the game has to be reloaded from the last checkpoint.
