  • Skills

To improve Joel abilities you will have to collect medicine items found during the game like bottles of pills and small plants. Unlike weapons modifications, you can improve your stats at any time by pushing the select button.

Strictly speaking about skills, the first skills you should invest in are Weapon Sway and Listen Mode Distance: the first one will allow you to shoot more accurately than before, especially when going for headshots. Extending Listen Mode will allow you to check out enemy movements even further.

After having obtained these two skills, you can focus on increasing your health and even learn the Shiv Master skill which can save you from 1 hit kill attacks from Clickers.
