Metro 2033 How To Recharge Flashlight

The flashlight drains power relatively fast, recorded at 11 minutes and 8 seconds (though 5 minutes and 35 seconds on Ranger difficulty), but can also be manually recharged quite fast as well; the greater the charge, the greater the distance the light can reach. The flashlight is also used to detect ghosts, without a light source, a person could walk right into a Ghost and not know it, as Ghosts' silhouettes only appear when illuminated. In stealth or combat situations flashlight can be both good and bad, using one can help someone see his or her way, but can also be easily detected by anything lurking in the darkness. Turning a flashlight on will alert any mutants or enemies to your presence, so it's best to keep it turned off when in stealth or use Night Vision Goggles instead.

Night vision goggles are used to sneak through areas or seeing traps when the player cannot risk using their flashlight. When the goggles are switched on, the player is much harder to detect than when they have the flashlight turned on. If the player uses the flashlight and the night vision together, they can extend the range of the NVG and see better. This drains the battery faster by around 40 percent, making the battery only last about 2 minutes from the original amount of about 3 minutes 20 seconds, but this makes it easier to see in very dark areas and is of great use when stealth isn't necessary. Like Artyom's watch, the 2033 version of NVG features a stealth meter at the top; red means the player is in well-lit area that easily detectable, yellow means the enemy will find you if they get close, green means you are hidden, but you will still can be seen if you are in close proximity with the enemy, finally "no light" means you are completely hidden, only noise can give your location away.

Artyom's flashlight will run out of juice over time, and it doesn't simply recharge on its own. Instead you have to find a safe spot and whip out his battery device and pump it up manually. If you want to see where you need to go next you have to equip Artyom's compass, leaving him open to attack unless you're careful. 2ff7e9595c
