How to unlock the Ranger achievement in Metro 2033 Redux - Definitive Guide
As far as I can tell, a stash is location that soldiers had previously used as a hideout and left supplies behind, or a red crate/box that was left behind randomly with supplies inside. Some fallen soldiers also have supplies on them, and there is also military-grade ammo locations, as well as a safe in the level although I do not think they count towards this achievement. However, it is advised that you make sure to get 100% of what I listed above as the game does not specify what counts and what does not.
I have made a video showing everything that you can pick up in the level, which is about 50 total items. If you follow along with the video, you will unlock the achievement by the end.
I've created a full Enlightened playthrough video, and during the Dead City mission I point out - and number - every possible/presumed ranger cache, as well as directing you to the Diary Pages in the mission as well as a spot for the Manhattan Project achievement, all in order.
You can see the full mission with all items of interest and collectibles at the 21:39 mark in the video.
** May be more difficult to follow for some as I knew where all of these places were from exploring in both playthroughs. Think the only one I kept missing in both was the one in the truck where you jump on the car to get across the water
Strangely enough, there is no specific in-game tracker to detail how many Ranger stashes are in the "Dead City" level, so it is best to assume all sources of loot count towards this achievement. Thus, these stashes consist of ammo, weapons and other smaller items that can be found on the body of dead soldiers and inside crates and safes as well. Remember, it is best to attempt this achievement on the Survival Mode playthrough since you will already be scavenging the levels thoroughly for precious resources. If for whatever reason you miss a stash throughout the course of the level, you must restart the level from the beginning.
During the Chapter "Dead City" there will be Ranger Stashes littered across the whole area. You must find all 47 of these during a single run of the level. Since there is no way to track how many you have collected, I strongly recommend referring to the video from PowerPyx with all the locations:
