So I was playing Metro 2033 for the first time, and I got stuck - I couldn't figure out how to proceed.
This happens in Chapter 3, Ghosts, where Artyom and Khan step into a metro wagon. Khan stops in front of some spider webs, as you can see in the video.
I tried using my knife to cut through them, threw grenades, and even reloaded the last checkpoint because I thought the game had bugged out.
So, if you get stuck here too, what you need to do is press "M" to bring up your lighter and burn the webs away!
I feel like the game should have made it clearer that you can burn spider webs - but anyway, that's how to move forward!
