Surviving cataclysmic events is always hard, especially in the gaming world and without some good help and a solid strategy it becomes even harder. Surviving is the main focus of Naughty Dog’s The Last Of Us: not only Infected will do everything they can to make sure you won’t be able to escape the infested United States but also soldiers and hunters will be getting in your way.
Understanding the many gameplay mechanics of The Last Of Us is going to be one of the most important things to do in the game: fighting all enemies in the game will only lead you to an early grave. Stealth is the key and prior information on the enemies’ capabilities and positions will prove to be more important than ever.
Luckily the game provides you with everything you need to avoid encountering and fighting Infected. Even if you’re discovered by them you may still be able to escape from them without getting damaged too much.
In The Last Of Us Survival Guide we will be covering a few tips which will help you in your survival endeavors by analyzing the most basic gameplay elements of the game. Once we’re done we will be delving further into the game. If you’ve been having problems with the new Naughty Dog survival horror game, you’ve come to the right place.
There are a few Infected types in the game: knowing how they behave will help you a lot against them. Runners behave a lot like human survivors and can be taken down with physical attacks; Stalkers are a lot more aggressive and it’s best to deal with them at long range; Clickers are the worst since they can kill you in one shot if you attack them in close range but since they’re blind you can take them down from long range or even avoid them completely. Bloaters are the worst kind: they’re as strong as Clickers and possess some long range attacks. Since they’re blind it’s best to avoid them completely but if you really have to take one down, be prepared since you’ll need a few Molotov and bombs to kill them.
