How to unlock the Scrooge achievement in Metro 2033 Redux - Definitive Guide
Well there are a few ways you can earn these rounds quick and easy!
1) Ammo traders. You will generally find these guys around civilian populated areas and will be buying and selling ammo to you. If you aren't going for the achievement for getting a kill with every gun then sell all the ammo you get for the guns you aren't using at the time.
2) search every box, locker, dead person you find throughout your journey as they may very well have the military ammo on them.
3) safes! Now safes are where you can literally strike gold for this achievement as sometimes they may hold ALOT of this type of ammo, I personally found 150 in a safe on the level "FRONTLINE". To open a safe you must search for a key which can be found either somewhere earlier in the level but most of the time will be found close to the safes area and is noticable by the red tag the key has on it.
Warning: DONT spend to much ammo as I got to the second last level and barley found enough to get me to 1000. Also If you're using an assult rifle/sub machine gun class be carefull NOT to use this ammo as it is usable and if you must use it try limit how much you use as it shouldn't take more then a few bullets to kill an enemy.
If anything needs to be changed please let me know!
Note: I am currently working on a guide for the safe keys and will post ASAP! :)
So you could easily spend everything you have at Polis and still get the achievement.
Unfortunately I don't quite remember the first of these big stashes. It was definitely before the safe in D6, where you find 225 ammo. So either in the Caves level or somewhere at the start of D6.
It was in a room where your team mates walk through, so not really hidden either. Contained about 240 ammo from what I remember.
Then obviously the safe with 225 ammo in D6.
Lastly at the very start of the tower level, just after the first time you get up from the ground, there will be a stash near the car containing over 300 ammo.
So, as above said by xTGE, look for save and loot them is the key point.
Further I didn't buy anything and sold every ammo I didn't used (pistol, for example, arrows... depending on your favorite weapon style).
Here's a video I found (not mine) with the safe locations:
Missable!
For this trophy you must accumulate 1000 MGRs at one time. This is not cumulative, you should unlock this trophy easily if you regularly loot/scavenge every area and open safes. You can always sell everything you have toward the 1000 requirement and reload the checkpoint to save your MGRs.

In Metro 2033 Redux, there are two types of ammunition: dirty and military-grade. Dirty ammo is the more common form of ammunition you’ll come across throughout the game. On the other hand, military-grade ammo is far more powerful and is even used as a currency system within the metro stations. With this in mind, this achievement is best done on the Survival Mode playthrough since you will be avoiding combat frequently, thus reducing the amount of military-grade ammo used for combat or for purchasing other goods.
In short, you will need to salvage and hold unto one thousand military-grade rounds at once for this achievement to unlock. The following guns can all use military grade ammunition so be sure to check which type of ammo is being used before firing them:
- Bastard
- Kalash
- Kalash 2012
- VSV
Remember: Try to pair this achievement on the Survival Mode playthrough. Save any and all military-grade rounds you find during your playthrough and try to avoid using it in combat or as currency!

With that in mind you must have 1000 rounds AT THE SAME TIME to get this trophy and while this ammo isn't totally scarce you must be careful on spending.
The last place you can spend the rounds as currency is in Polis (in the final third of the game) and once you leave that area you can't return later. There's another shop in the church but you can't make sales there, only trade or throw away inventory.
When I made it to Polis on my first run I had 7 or 800-something rounds and was planning to just sell my other ammo, inventory, and guns for the difference; I was shy 42 bullets to reach the 1000 so I planned to do it on my next run and splurged on ammo, gun mods, etc to get fully geared up, putting me in the low 500s.
At the end of the D6 chapter I had over 1000 bullets, most of which were found in that very chapter.
Lockboxes are your best friend for an ammo boost and if you search every toolbox or steelbox you find in D6 you should be fine but don't spend carelessly just in case you overspend that one bullet
