I hit a hard patch on Metro Exodus while finding the mechanic, some kind of ghoul motherfucker attacks when you get close to the mechanics position. It jumps out from behind shit no matter how roundabout you try to approach, without warning and grabs you before you can even think about firing. The screen shows to press E really fast, yeah it doesn't matter how fast I click it.
Died at that about 4 times already, must be doing something wrong.
