Black Market

The Black Market is the exclusive Metro Royale shop. Players can purchase supplies and new equipment here before starting a match. Players can also sell the supplies they bring out of Metro Royale for Metro Cash.
The supplies available in the Black Market differ from those in the Classic Mode and are divided into different quality levels. The Black Market also offers Metro Royale-exclusive weapons, mines, and other new items.

Loadout inventory

Equipment configured in the loadout menu can be brought into battle. When you return victorious from the battlefield, items are taken back to the loadout menu.
Items can be stored in the Metro Royale Inventory. Items kept in the Metro Royale Inventory won’t be brought into the battlefield and won’t be lost if the player is defeated.
Items carried in your Backpack will be the only items you bring into the match.
Items stored in the Lock Box will be brought back to you whether you win or lose the match.

Command Post

At the Command Post, you can check your favorability with NPCs, read NPC backstories, and give them gifts to increase your favorability.
When your favorability with an NPC increases, they’ll give you useful resources that will help you survive in the Metro Royale world.
