Released in June 2013 The Last of Us Part 1 is above all an adventure game with a story taking an important place in your experience, but have you thought about recovering the various collectibles hidden in the levels? Throughout your epic you can find a total of 5 tools hidden in the levels.
Although discreet, the tools are very important in The Last of Us. Indeed, using a tool on a workshop will allow you to improve some of your weapons. These upgrades will make them more powerful by increasing their damage or even more efficient by changing other aspects of how they work.
The functioning of the tools is a little particular, using one to improve a weapon will not consume the tool in question. When you recover a tool, you increase your level tool level, which can go up to a maximum of 5, it is the cumulative level of your tools that defines the improvements available for your equipment.
It is important to note that you will also need coins when looking to upgrade your weapons. For more information on spare parts, we talk about that under the part on tools!
Interesting to know: if you miss a tool they come back later in the story, but you might have to play the game a second time if you miss too many.
Tool 1: Bill's Town
Your first tools are on one of the shelves in Bill's weapon stash. If you miss them the first time, you can collect them from the garage just before you reach high school.
Tool 2: Pittsburgh
The tool set can be found in the bandits' garage where the victims' belongings are stored. You will get there right after the first fight in the game. Your tool level is now two.
Tool 3: The suburbs
You can find this new set of tools and level up your tools to 3 in the van to the left of the ice cream truck. If you haven't collected them at this time, you will be able to recover some just after Ellie has repaired the generator, Joel, Henry and Sam will cross the mobile platform. Once they've passed, look for the equipment storage room on the left.
Tool 4: University
Once you enter the science building through the hole in the wall, find the door with the red and yellow cables underneath. Do not open the door and instead go to the left end of the hallway. Open the door with your knife. Inside on the other side of the room you have your tools on a table, your tool level is now 4.
Tool 5: Bus depot
When you get to the platform, carefully examine all the tents there. In the largest, there is the toolbox.
