Arms
Weapons are an extremely important aspect in The Last of Us 2. Therefore, there are many aspects to know about them, in order to be prepared when we play.

How to upgrade weapons
Almost all of the weapons we have in The Last of Us 2 can be upgraded , which gives us a lot of possibilities, since there are weapons that we can make more effective and lethal this way. So for users in the game it is something to keep in mind, in order to have a better weapon, which will always be of help to us.
In order to apply such upgrades or customizations to a weapon, we have to find and go to a workbench . Unfortunately, there aren’t too many of them spread throughout the game, so we have to find them in order to use them. Each weapon has a different set of upgrades, so there isn’t something that can be applied universally.
Also, keep in mind that each upgrade you want to add to a weapon in The Last of Us 2 will cost you certain parts, parts are needed to be able to introduce that upgrade. The parts can be obtained like other resources in the game, since they are found in places like workshops or landfills , although in reality they can come out anywhere.

Enemies in The Last of Us 2
We encounter a number of enemies in The Last of Us 2. There is a good variety in this regard in the game, which is quite hostile to visitors, so we have to be careful at all times. In addition, each enemy behaves in a different way, which is a detail that is going to complicate things for us when we are playing and that is something that we have to keep in mind, in order to know how to face them in the appropriate way.
- Runner : It is a basic enemy, like a zombie, although they move faster.
- Clicker : This is the most recognizable enemy in the game. They are notable for being blind, although they are very lethal.
- Stalker – An infected that is halfway between a runner and a clicker. They tend to set up ambushes when attacking, so we have to be aware of that.
- Wolves : One of the groups of survivors that roam across the United States.
- Scars/Seraphites : This is a sect that lives in nature.
- Savage Seraphite : An imposing mass of muscles that we will encounter a handful of times on our way through the game.
- Swollen : This is one of the last stages of the infected, very dangerous. They are blind but have good hearing and if they catch you, you will die instantly.
- Staggering : More dangerous than the bloated, it is also blind and has good hearing, and it also has the ability to throw explosive projectiles and is very resistant to attacks. When they die they explode, so it is good to move away to avoid damage.
- Rat King : A strong monster, best faced in an open field. It’s like a bloat and a lurker in one, so you’ll have to kill it in stages, as one part separates.
