Overview
How to switch secondary weapons in Ranger mode.
Disclaimer
Disclaimer: After playing Metro:Last Light in Ranger mode for quite some hours, I ran out of ammo and throwing knifes and wondered if there isn’t any way to select the other secondary weapons. I made this guide so others can learn from my stupidness and not fight hordes of mutants with just a melee knife left in their backpack.
How to change secondary weapons
Since there’s no onscreen hud in Ranger mode except the journal, it can be hard to find out how to change the secondary weapons. So here’s how:
- 1. hold your inventory key (Tab or i by default)
- 2. While keeping the key pressed, move the mouse up, down, left or right
- 3. Now you should hear a sound corresponding to the weapon type you’ve selected (peep, click, swish, something like that)
- 4. Congrats! You’ve just selected a different secondary weapon! Horray for grenades, incendiary grenades and claymores!
Here’s the list of the weapon types with their corresponding direction:
- UP ::: Throwing knifes
- RIGHT ::: incendiary grenades
- DOWN ::: claymores
- LEFT ::: grenades
Have fun playing this great game!
