The Last of Us 2drops players in a post-apocalyptic world that has been ravaged by an infection that turns humans into zombie-like creatures dubbed “clickers.” Theworld ofThe Last of Us 2is filled with violence, both to survive encounters with the infected as well as from run-ins with other groups of survivors that have turned desperate to find supplies. The combat has painstaking detail with varied animations for the melee combat, as well as intricate animations and modeling for taking weapons apart to install new modifications.

In a Reddit post, user Pino811 shows off one of these combat animations that they recently discovered whilst fighting a small crowd of survivors. The clip shows Ellie hitting an enemy with a wooden board and breaking it. As the enemy dies, he throws up his weapon, a hammer, which Ellie grabs out of the air before using it to beat one of the survivor’s other friends. Fans shouldn’t worry if they miss it when it first happens, the clip breaks it all down in slow motion so that viewers can’t miss it. It is another greatdetail toThe Last of Us 2’s combat.
This discovered hidden animation joins a few other moves that have been discovered in the months since the game’s release, including one discovered just last month that letsEllie catch ammo in mid-airafter killing an enemy. The hidden animations have been changing how players have approached the game within its dedicated community where no-death playthroughs and speedruns have become very popular.

With all of the new details still being discovered, however, there is no denying the incredible amount of detail that is spread out throughout the game, which is made even more impressive by the game running on the Playstation 4. Naughty Dog has been tight-lipped on what is next for the studio or whether or not the game will receive any DLC, but there are undoubtedly more hidden gems to find inThe Last of Us 2until then.
