There are 3 types of weapons in The Last of Us 2 i.e. melee weapons, firearms, and bows. All of these are highly situational and you must gauge which weapon you should use in a particular situation. In this guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know about all the weapons locations in The Last of Us 2.
The Last of Us 2 Weapons Locations
There are a total of 12 weapons in TLoU2. You’ll automatically find a lot of these weapons as you progress through the game. A few, however, will need to be found. Similar to Training Manuals in TLoU2, you can find missable weapons in multiple locations.
Before we start, do note that our guide doesn’t include the locations of melee weapons such as knives, axes, machetes, bats, etc. since those can be found rather easily. With that said, the following are the locations of all the weapons in TLoU2:
