Metro Exodus is 4A Games' 2019 shooter that takes Artyom out of the Moscow metro and across Russia aboard the Aurora, a steam train, over a year of open levels. These are the default keys from the game's own binding screens: movement, plus the survival gear the series is built around, meaning the gas mask and filter swap, the hand-charged flashlight, the lighter, the backpack for crafting on the move and the journal. On a controller the gas mask shares the down d-pad with the filter swap (hold it to put the mask on), and the lighter and backpack sit in the equipment menu under a held LB.
