The animations for killing/knocking out an enemy stealthily are different, depending on which angle the player character approaches and if the enemy is standing or sitting down, and if the enemy has been alerted to their presence. Additionally, in the mission that stealth is not necessary, the sneak attack of the Trench Knife is normally useless the non-lethal attack does has its merits however, it counts as complete the level stealthy and in some levels the player character will still earn positive moral point if all the attacks are non-lethal. One exception is in the " Sniper Team" mission, where the player character can only kill. These attacks are also used in Ranger mode the unsheathing sound remains to notify players that they are close enough for a takedown, though the on-screen prompt is removed. When sneaking up on a human enemy, getting close enough to them results in the sound of Artyom unsheathing the knife, as well as an on-screen prompt in Normal gameplay modes, allowing him to select between a silent assassination (via pressing the melee attack button), or a silent knock-out (via pressing the interact button). In Metro: Last Light, the knife is much easier to use and quite valuable to a stealthy playthrough. The secondary attack (using the brass knuckles) can instantly kill a human with one blow to the head on any difficulty, even if they are wearing a helmet or gas mask.ĭuring quick-time events throughout the game, Artyom uses his knife for a multitude of tasks, from stabbing or bashing mutants in the head and neck who have pounced him, to breaking ice off of cables to allow him to continue climbing. If the primary attack is tapped rapidly, Artyom will perform three slashes in quick succession. The slower bash is the style Artyom uses when a mutant is on top of him. The knife has two attack styles, left click/left trigger is a fast attack, while right click/right trigger is a slower bash.
Artyom can silently kill some NPCs and mutants with it, but this is not recommended as he has to be very close and can easily be detected. The knife's normal use is as a melee weapon, an alternative to wasting ammo on weak or lone enemies. One of the few appearances of NPC usage of the knife is when Ulman saves Artyom by stabbing two Nazis during a cutscene in the beginning of " Trolley Combat", or when an NPC kills a mutant with it. The knife is the only weapon to be used in quick-reaction situations, since Artyom can perform an one hit knife kill when this happens.
On some rare instances, an NPC can use his knife to do a finishing kill on a mutant, but usually they either shoot the mutant, or hit it with the butt of their weapon. The knife can be seen in settlements, in shops, near or on corpses, and carried by certain NPCs, but in actual gameplay it is rarely used and a different variant can never be picked up. Gameplay shows that Artyom seems to be well versed in knife combat. In close combat, the knife has saved his life on quite a few occasions. Besides its normal use, he uses it to get out of numerous situations that would have otherwise been fatal. Artyom carries his personal knife with him throughout the entire game.
