The Caspian area is a large open sea bed turned desert. You’ll also get the Gatling Gun but that’s impossible to miss as it’s part of a small boss encounter. Just keep an eye out for a Kalash on a table near a yellow junction box that lets you turn all the lights off. However, you can grab a night vision scope here. The Yamantau section of the game is basically a linear story beat with no open world elements.

There’s a gas can around the back of the shed you can use to power up the doors and open them to retrieve the battery upgrade from… somewhere interesting. You’ll find a large building with electrically sealed doors and a smaller shed with a generator.

There’s also another sniper scope if you haven't already got one.

Kalash rifle suppressor - The safehouse here has a Kalash suppressor barrel if you want some full auto silenced fun (it’ll cut damage and range but alert less people).You’ll find a Kalash heavy stock, and long barrel and compensator for a big damage and accuracy boost. Look for some ramps and shipping crates that take you up to one of the beams and follow it around to find a ladder and an outpost. Kalash rifle upgrades - There are some ruined buildings here that are basically pillars and beams.You’ll have to break the lock off to get inside. Look for a broken down crane and it’ll be in a small rusted house in front of that. Metal detector - There’s a metal detector here that will help you locate resources if you equip it to your bracer.Kill them and explore inside to find the throwing weapon harness which lets you carry more knives, grenades and molotov cocktails. Throwable ammo upgrade - This gas station has a few bandits to take out.Gas mask upgrades - There’s a small shack here full of fungus and spiders where you can find the Extended Filter, an upgrade that makes your gas mask filters last longer.Night vision goggles - The night vision goggles here you can access early via the key from the prisoners you find at 3 above, or you can get them as part of the mission to get the railcar after you kill the Tsar Fish.There’s also Ammo Pouches upstairs that let you carry more bullets. Ammo carrying upgrade and Tsar Fish room Key - There are some prisoners here you can rescue who will give you a key to access the room below (point 4) where you can find the night vision goggles.Kalash rifle upgrades - There’s a tiny outpost here where you’ll find some good Kalash rifle upgrades early on to increase damage and stability.Sniper scope and compass - You’ll find a crashed plane here with a sniper scope and, more importantly, a compass that will always point towards your next objective.Here's what you need to keep an eye out for:

Because of the dangerous mutant shrimp and a giant catfish, the water can be dangerous so it’s worth sticking close to the shore in the boat so you can disembark quickly if you need to. As a rule the last boat you used will appear on the map but you can find others. The important thing is it’s possible to find a number of hugely useful upgrades and gadgets right at the start if you know where to look. The Volga’s characterised by its swampy watery areas and the need to use a boat to get around. These will all be question marks until you visit them, at which point a compass marker will appear on screen to show the map has updated. There are only four icons to really worry about on the Metro Exodus map: the big white cross is your next main objective, a green building is a safehouse (with a workbench to fix and craft gear, and a bed to change the time of day), while a red hazard skull and bones indicates enemies and, more importantly, gear to salvage. It’s worth doing this regularly as new viewpoints will let you see different locations, and even right up to the end of a chapter you can still discover new places. If you don’t get the noise and icon, try zooming in and out and gently moving around the area of the click. If you hold that position and zoom in you should hear a whir and see a map icon appear indicating an area has been marked to your map. Anywhere worth visiting will make a clicking noise as you look over it. You get them shortly after meeting the engineer Krest on the crane to look at various landmarks he calls out. Quick tip before you go anywhere: use your binoculars to look around regularly.
