  • The plot of Metro Exodus is based on the book “Metro 2033: Beyond the Horizon” (this is a book from the expanded universe). There, the main character, a stalker nicknamed “Taran,” along with his crew, set off from Saint Petersburg to Vladivostok on an MZKT-79221 missile carrier (which had its missile replaced with a fuel tank). The characters also crossed the Volga, visited Yamantau, traveled along the shores of the Caspian Sea and Lake Baikal, and finished their journey in Vladivostok

I did it by eye. I made it from the outer ring of a bearing (which is why my blade is 5 mm thick). I cut it in half, heated up one half, and forged it into a straight flat bar. Then I cut out the shape using an angle grinder (the teeth on the spine of the blade and fitted the shape for the handle) and sharpened the blade on a bench grinder. I made the holes in the blade using a drill press.

And as a trader of Nuka-World, henceforth until the day you die, all day, every day, you will be sellin’ junk to suckers, turnin’ trash into caps. Now, when you get there, they gonna take away your name, give you a junk stall and say, ‘Get to work!’ One word of sass, they cut out your tongue. And they good at it, too. You won’t bleed out. Oh, they does that real good! They gonna work ya all day, every day 'till your back give out. Then they hit you in the head with a hammer, and throw your ass down the shitter.
