Metro Exodus Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap
Follow these phases in order to protect the missable work and keep the Metro Exodus Platinum cleanup efficient.
Phase 1: First run on Reader or Easy, good ending
Play on Reader or Easy so collectibles and the fiddly trophies are straightforward.
Target the good ending, saving your crew members through the side missions, and secure the three positive outcomes within this single run.
Do the stealth trophies here, including Alyosha and the no-detection sections, since quick save works on this difficulty and you are harder to spot.
Collect heavily as you go, and make a quick save you do not overwrite before any section that requires no kills or no detection.
Watch the four trophies PowerPyx flags as missable, though most are recoverable later.
Phase 2: Ranger Hardcore with the bad ending
Start a new game on Ranger Hardcore and go for the bad ending at the same time. You will be skipping the crew-saving side missions anyway, so the two pair perfectly.
Expect scarcer ammo and resources, more damage taken, no quick save and a clean HUD with no reticle.
Collect anything you missed on run one, since some collectibles sit in sections that would otherwise complicate the good ending.
This is the run buyers most want handled, at roughly 1.4 percent rarity. One soft mention of DamnModz fits here.
Phase 3: Chapter Select cleanup
Use Chapter Select to farm the weapon, vehicle and enemy kill trophies by reloading checkpoints.
Pick up any collectibles still outstanding, including Toy Seller which is recoverable this way.
Finish the crafting, modification and resource trophies, which mostly resolve during normal play.
Alternative: the exploit route
A documented exploit reverts to version 1.0 and chapter jumps to the finale, awarding Hardcore, the bad ending and Mutation together.
That takes the platinum from around 4 out of 10 to 2 and from 30 hours to roughly 20.
It depends on an old build, so confirm it still works before relying on it, and present it as an option rather than the default.
Guide notes
Pair Ranger Hardcore With the Bad Ending
First section after the Quick Info box. The bad ending comes from not doing the side missions that save crew members, and on a Ranger Hardcore run you will be skipping side content anyway. Combining them means two playthroughs rather than three. This is the single best planning decision available and no page leads with it.
Guide notes
What Ranger Hardcore Actually Changes
Scarcer ammo and resources, more damage taken, no quick save and a completely clean HUD with no targeting reticle. The disabled quick save is the real difficulty rather than the damage numbers, particularly on sections that need no kills or no detection.
Guide notes
The Save Limit Complication
You have three autosaves and one quick save per playthrough. At certain points you need a quick save you deliberately do not overwrite, in case you fail a no-kills or undetected section. On Ranger Hardcore the quick save is gone entirely, which is why the stealth trophies belong on your easier run.
Efficient route
Resolve the Missable Conflict
PowerPyx names four, Full Strength, Eternal Voyage, Your Destination and the semi-missable Dressed for Success. The PST Enhanced guide says none, because Chapter Select covers them. The practical answer is that Chapter Select recovers most, and anything missed on run one can be taken on run two.
The Stealth Trophies Belong on the Easy Run
One is best attempted at nightfall.
Three Positive Outcomes in One Playthrough
A trophy requires all three within a single run, and it pairs naturally with the good ending since those outcomes push you toward it.
Efficient route
The Ranger Hardcore Exploit
A documented exploit reverts to version 1.0 and chapter jumps to the finale, which awards Hardcore, the bad ending and Mutation together, taking the platinum from 4 out of 10 to 2. Confirm it still works on current versions before recommending it, since it depends on an old build.
Chapter Select Kill Farming
After the story, use Chapter Select and reload checkpoints to farm the weapon, vehicle and enemy kill trophies. That covers a large block of the list quickly.
PS4 vs PS5 Enhanced Edition
Separate lists that stack, so both platinums are available. Confirm whether save transfer or autopop applies.

Guide notes
Metro Exodus Missable, Glitched, and Difficulty Notes
- Sources conflict. PowerPyx names four missables, Full Strength, Eternal Voyage, Your Destination and the semi-missable Dressed for Success. The PST Enhanced guide says none, because Chapter Select covers them.
- The practical answer is that Chapter Select recovers most, and anything missed on the first run can be taken on the second.
- Difficulty does affect trophies. Hardcore requires a full Ranger Hardcore completion and is the rarest trophy at roughly 1.4 percent.
- On Ranger Hardcore the quick save feature is disabled entirely, which is the real difficulty rather than the damage increase.
- You have only three autosaves and one quick save per playthrough, so sections requiring no kills or no detection need a deliberately preserved save.
- Two playthroughs are needed for the good and bad endings. Pairing the bad ending with the Ranger Hardcore run avoids a third.
- Three positive outcomes must be achieved within a single playthrough, which pairs with the good ending run.
- A documented exploit reverts to version 1.0 and chapter jumps to the finale for Hardcore, the bad ending and Mutation together. It depends on an old build so verify before relying on it.
- PS4 and the PS5 Enhanced Edition have separate lists that stack.
Quick answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How many playthroughs do you need for the Metro Exodus platinum?
Two, for the good and bad endings. Pair the bad ending with your Ranger Hardcore run, since you will be skipping the crew-saving side missions on that run anyway, and you avoid a third playthrough.
How hard is Ranger Hardcore in Metro Exodus?
It is the rarest trophy at roughly 1.4 percent. Ammo and resources are scarcer, you take more damage, the HUD is completely clean with no reticle, and quick save is disabled, which is the real difficulty.
How long does it take to platinum Metro Exodus?
Around 30 to 36 hours, or roughly 20 if you use the Ranger Hardcore exploit, which also drops the difficulty from about 4 out of 10 to 2.
Are there missable trophies in Metro Exodus?
Guides disagree. PowerPyx names four while the Enhanced Edition guide says none because Chapter Select covers them. In practice most are recoverable, either through Chapter Select or on your second playthrough.
Does Metro Exodus have separate PS4 and PS5 trophy lists?
Yes. The PS5 Enhanced Edition has its own list, so both platinums are available and they stack.
Where should you do the stealth trophies in Metro Exodus?
On your easier first run. Quick save is disabled on Ranger Hardcore, and on lower difficulties you are harder to spot, which makes the no-detection sections far more manageable.
How many saves do you get in Metro Exodus?
Three autosaves and one quick save per playthrough. That limit matters, because you need a preserved save before any section requiring no kills or no detection.
What is the Metro Exodus Ranger Hardcore exploit?
A documented method that reverts to version 1.0 and chapter jumps to the finale, awarding Hardcore, the bad ending and Mutation together. It relies on an old build, so verify it still works before planning around it.
