    I've noticed that once you get to around 22 filters or so, some of the filters(if not all) in the world are not obtainable until you drop below 22 or so filters in your inventory.

    I noticed this while doing the level library. On one of my runs I had 24 filters and was unable to pick up a filter from the ground. Later while doing another play-through I had 15 filters and was able to pick up that same filter.

    Sorry if I am confusing! lol

    Sup with that?

    I've noticed the same thing, but it happens to me on much smaller numbers. Like, I'll have picked up 10 filters and some will become un-interactive. I always thought it was because some were already used, or something.

    Ive never even got to the Point where ive ever changed a filter more than once, and that was during the last level.

    Although, ive never gone past the easy difficulties xD Its not that im pussy, but I just like having fun and finding the story rather than fighting tooth and nail for stuff all

    but what happens when your air filters run out, Ive noticed when you get reach the end of the filters span, your breathing gets harsher, but thats never been a problem for me

    In the topic of filters, have any of you guys noticed a bug where your filter count is slowly ticking down even if you havent changed one?

    - Wolve

    I only play ranger-hardcore anymore and the filters seem to be less frequent then in easy.
    I don't really know tho because I haven't played easy mode in a long time.

    - Strelok

    I have noticed that bug!:rant: ALL THE TIME! Its pretty bad...:tsk:

    I think not being able to pick up more filers could be a design choice rather than a bug. Maybe 4A Games wanted to make Metro more immersive by putting a limit on how many filters Artyom can carry? It makes sense to me. This could also mean that the maximum allowed amount of carried filters may change depending on the difficulty selected.

    Oh, Cheaptricks, high five for playing on Ranger Hardcore! :D That mode is by far the best, most atmospheric and entertaining way to play the game. So much more realistic, yet there's also so much more satisfaction with every kill (or even better: with every ghosted part of a level).

    High five right back at you Bamul:D

    The maximum amount of filters you can carry in ranger-hardcore is 42. You can test this by buying as many filters as you can at market station.

    Filters constantly disappear from my inventory without me changing it, a rather annoying bug if you ask me.

    The other difficulties aren't that hard and you don't get side tracked from the story just because you're killing shit. Give them a go sometime.

    Edit: Try the ranger hardcore difficulty if you have the DLC, as long as you don't get hit it's easy as fuck and everything dies very quickly.

    Also as well as what Cheaptricks said i've noticed that when you start running low on filters on Ranger Hardcore (dunno if it's just that difficulty) that your guy starts changing them with less time between filter changes, eventually you're basically changing filters every 2 minutes or so. Running low on filters basically never happens though if you actually scavenge.

    Ya I know where all the filters are so I don't have problems with amount of filters:p. Also buying plenty when you are at market station helps a ton.

    Damn, you're right, that must be a bug... and an annoying one indeed. I don't think I ever noticed it - I am quite a dummy. :lol: I hope they don't make such mistakes when creating Last Light.

    I do that anyway just so I can spend plenty of time doing what I want on the surface like exploring instead of the need to conserve filters dictating when I have to go back into the the depths of the Metro. :D
