Tip of the week: The Last of Us 2 – I figured it would be fun to give some tips for playing The Last of Us 2. When running around and looting, look out for items behind glass. Fridges, vending machines, etc. have loot that won’t show an indicator until you break the glass. Another helpful tidbit is to listen to the music cues to know when you have been detected. The sound tone will rise and the volume will increase the more you are exposed. This allows you to duck back into cover before being fully detected. If you are able to stay in stealth, you can charge an enemy and maintain that stealth.
