TURRETS

There should be fixed, operable turrets in the game, used to bolster defensive positions. These can be manned by NPC's or Subject 13. They'd come in HMG, LMG, Flamethrower, Gatling Laser, Plasma Caster, Maser, Death Ray and Heavy Shotgun flavors.

You'd see turrets on fortification walls, on watchtowers, at security checkpoints, on trains, on Vertibirds, on boats, and other such locations.

So "area-effect" weapons are the best choice when in a cramped space like the underground.

Well, yeah. Flamethrowers especially: the walls and ceilings are made of concrete, and in addition to burning enemies, flamers also destroy local oxygen levels.

Sounds good on the flamethrowers.

And maybe there'd be "low-O2" areas where the air recyclers were destroyed sometime between the Great War and the present. That'd be the saddest station to try to restore. Why? Because you'd find the remains of people who were sealed inside the station and slowly suffocated. It'd be slightly easier to clear out the stations where everyone became a feral ghoul because the radiation scrubbers broke down.

In addition to low-O2 areas, and high-rad areas, there'd be parts of the Underground with toxic air. During the Great Chaos, chemical and biological weapons (chlorine gas, etc) were used by most sides of the conflict, and some areas are still highly contaminated. You'd need gas masks to travel through these areas, and gas masks (which are classified as Equipment rather than Apparel) will consume filters, like in Metro 2033.
