There is a lot to do in The Last of Us 2, as searching each place methodically is the only way to get all the collectibles, and the same goes for weapons.
Note that you have to find the 12 weapons to get the High Caliber Trophy. Some weapons are obtained automatically throughout the story, but others will require you to pick them up from a specific place at a specific time.
