As you make your way through the post-apocalyptic world of The Last of Us 2, you will encounter all sorts of things for crafting and perhaps even the occasional alcohol to drown your senses. But the holy grail that would save your life through the battles and fights to come would be the weapons that you will come across. However, some of these weapons can be hard to find and that is why we are providing you with this weapons guide which will go over all of the weapons in The Last of Us Part II and their locations. Let’s get to hunting!
Ellie
There are 6 weapons for Ellie to use, five of which can be upgraded at Workbenches using the spare parts you find around the world.
Semi-Auto Pistol
Short-range handgun with high fire rate and moderate accuracy.
The Semi-Auto Pistol is a secondary close to mid-range weapon that Ellie starts with by default. It is available to the player at the start of the campaign and can be found automatically in the player’s inventory. The Semi-Auto Pistol is upgradable by using spare parts and has four types of upgrades.

Bolt-Action Rifle
Long-range rifle with high damage and slow fire rate.
The bolt-action rifle is another one of Ellie’s default weapons. She starts with it automatically so there is no need to search for this weapon, nor is it able to be avoided by the player. The gun itself is very powerful and can deal large amounts of damage over long distances which makes it an excellent weapon for sniping enemies. There are four different upgrades for this weapon which can be purchased with spare parts.

Revolver
Mid-range revolver with moderate damage and slow reload speed.
The revolver is a secondary gun that is obtained during the Packing Up chapter. During this chapter, the player is forced to open a small red box. Once opened, the player will find the revolver inside. Due to this box being an essential part of the chapter, the revolver can’t be missed. Just like the previous weapon, the revolver can be upgraded with four different types of upgrades by using spare parts.

Pump Shotgun
Close-range shotgun with high damage and slow reload speed.
During the Seattle Day 1, Downtown chapter, you can come across a bank at the corner of James Street and 6th Avenue. Find your way inside by going through some debris. Take care of the enemies inside and head to the vault room. Search the corpse located in it and you will find a code (602306). Use it to open the vault door and inside you will find a corpse with a pump shotgun in its hand which you can pick up.

Bow
Long-range bow with silent shots and slow draw speed.
The bow can be obtained towards the latter half of Chapter 16: Hillcrest. At this point, the player will automatically find himself in a scuffle with one of the infected. After the scripted sequence ends, you can take the bow off of the infected corpse. It is very unlikely that you will miss this weapon in your playthrough. The bow is very useful for a stealthy attack and fired arrows can be recovered.

Silenced Submachine Gun
A silent automatic sub machine gun that deals medium damage to enemies.
This weapon is yet another one that you are forced to pick up to progress in the story, which means that you can’t miss it. It is obtained during Chapter 44: The Resort after Ellie meets the Rattlers faction in Santa Barbara. There are no upgrades for this weapon.
