Filters are used in conjunction with the gas mask. Without fresh filters, the apparatus could not properly filter the poisonous particles in the air on the surface, or the toxic pockets of air caught in the metro organization, the inhalation of which ultimately leads to death.

Overview [ ]

All filters are universal and volition fit whatsoever gas mask found in the metro. Also, they are widely traded throughout the settlements. Anyone regularly travelling between Metro stations or the surface should carry these.

These filters are likely charcoal filters as charcoal is a natural toxicant adsorbent, and can exist found and made but virtually anywhere. This may also be the reason why they practice not final very long, since the technology to make more than advanced filters was probable lost subsequently the disaster or it is prohibitively hard and expensive to mass produce ameliorate filters due to the scarcity of the resources and expertise that are required to brand them.

Appearances [ ]

Filters can be establish just about everywhere in the Metro:

They are traded in a few settlements (Riga and Market).
They tin can be found on corpses.
Given to Artyom past some other NPCs
Tin can be found as individual filters in various locations in the Metro and surface.
Can be found in wooden supply crates/boxes throughout the game.
Will come up attached to recently swapped gas masks.

Uses [ ]

Filters must used in compliance with the gas mask, they must be swapped out regularly with a fresh filter every few minutes of connected utilise. A clean filter lasts almost exactly one minute regardless of difficulty played on or the activities being performed past Artyom (such as constant sprinting).

Artyom keeps a wrist-watch on at all times to go along runway of how much time his filters take left before they have become too used to entirely filter the toxic air. In that location are, however, other signs that the filter may demand to be swapped, if for example: Artyom's breathing becomes very heavy, Artyom tin can exist heard wheezing as he struggles for air, his vision starts to tunnel or blur, so the filter may need to be changed. When a filter runs out, Artyom volition automatically swap in a fresh 1. If the filters are not swapped out when needed, Artyom volition slowly suffocate and ultimately die.

The elapsing of the air filters can exploited by constantly putting on and taking off the gas mask. Since Artyom has a brusque catamenia of time (up to 30 seconds) that he can concluding without a mask on, this time elapsed with the gas mask off can exist valuable if he is near out of fourth dimension on his filter. Equally soon as the gas mask is put on, the timer will reset, so in that location is no need to keep the mask on for any particular length of time.

Trivia [ ]

When the gas mask is in play, the duration of the air filter is reduced. In real life, a crack in the mask would not bear on the filter at all. It would simply escape into toxic air and in many cases render the gas mask unusable. If the filter is damaged, it may have less usage time, just is nigh likely unusable.
Most filters found cannot be picked up because they have been used or the filter is expired.
The filters are shown in an odd way. The filter units shown are not the number of filters, simply rather, they are shown as minutes of time. Notwithstanding, when ownership a filter, 1 cannot proceed more than 20 of these units at a time.
The filters concluding for a very short menstruation of time (about 5 minutes), even though the air is still relatively make clean, as the player character can survive in that location for a brief-flow of time.
It'south relatively easy for filters to run out, so use them wisely and do not waste material them or take too long in areas where a gas mask is needed. In the levels where filters must be used, pass them quickly to conserve them. Also, it'south recommended to buy filters whenever possible (especially in levels like "Market" in Metro 2033), as some parts of the games will crave the player character to spend long periods of time on the surface, where filters are essential for survival.
In Metro 2033, filters can but exist bought in early parts of the game, at Riga Station and Market Station, so ownership as much as you can is wise.
- In Metro 2033 Redux, filters can be bought at virtually stations before offset the Library stage.
Rangers practise not use regular filters on their gas masks since their helmets have built in cheek filters.
- In Metro: Last Lite and Redux, the gas masks used by Rangers accept regular filters on it.
The gas mask filters the player graphic symbol uses announced to be very large (bigger than Artyom'south hand), but the placed filters appear very small before being picked up. They are likely 60mm filters. In Metro: Last Low-cal and the Redux version, the filters are larger, fixing this developer oversight.
The Nazi gas mask and the Ranger gas masks are the aforementioned, simply the Nazi masks have filters and a helmet over them, while the Rangers' masks are attached to their helmets.
In Metro: Terminal Calorie-free, the maximum amount of filters Artyom can comport at once is 59:59 (59 minutes, 59 seconds). He will, however, decline to pick up any filters that would put the total number higher than his limit. E.g. When carrying a total of 56:56, Artyom will non option up any filters with over 3 minutes and iii seconds left on them.
- Each filter in the Redux version lasts 5 minutes, like the Metro: Concluding Lite version.
In Metro Exodus, when starting a new game using the New Game+ feature having nerveless the Consumables carrier in the previous playthrough, Artyom can bear double the usual maximum amount of filters (up to lx minutes), until the cutscene where he is shot and thrown to the pit by Hanza soldiers (halfway through the Moscow level). After this cutscene, the maximum amount resets to 30 minutes. This is the instance on "easy" or college difficulties simply on "reader", Artyom tin just have a total of 15 minutes worth of filters on him at a time.
