The Last of Us 2: Every Zombie-Type and How to Kill Them

Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us 2 is now on the top in the list of trending video games. Although the game has arrived a few weeks back and in no time, it succeeds in acquiring a special place in gamers’ hearts. The game is based upon the action-adventure genre; however, the game also provides a horror-survivor experience. Like its predecessor, it has various characters, and real-life Hollywood actors inspire most of them.

Ellie is the protagonist of this game who seeks revenge from groups of enemies, including Abby. Abby is an antagonist of the game after Ellie’s life, and in her revenge-seeking purpose, Zombies are also helping to eliminate Ellie. Thus, gamers must also be aware of Zombies, along with Abby’s actions. Below we have provided a proper workaround that contains a detailed description of all types of Zombies alongside ways to kill them in The Last of Us 2.

Types of Zombies and Ways to Kill Them in The Last of Us 2

Runners

The initial stage of the game has Zombies known as Runners. Their qualities resemble a lot with the human, including their voice. It is really hard to distinguish between them and humans. Their way of walking and shaking of heads is quite normal and differs a lot from the Zombie’s stereotypes. Thus, gamers sometimes miscalculated them as a normal human being, and later, Runners attacked them. However, they are quite easy to handle; gamers can easily knock them out using the Switchblade move of Ellie, although they are pretty good in dodging the moves due to several human traits present in them. However, gamers can easily eliminate them with Ellie’s efficient movements. Gamers also need to be aware of one more fact: not to waste a lot of weapons and ammo on them.

Stalkers

The second type of Zombies in The Last of Us 2 is Stalkers. They are the perfect look-alike of the Zombies stereotypes. Their movements are pretty fast that even sometimes they succeed in spoofing Ellie. They believe in espionage attacking theory, which makes them even more intricate to handle. Gamers have to be aware all the time because they attack immediately. Gamers need to manoeuvre throughout the game because they never know when stalkers are following them. There is only one way to defeat Stalkers, and it is to lure them into their trap. Gamers have to create an illusion for Stalkers so that they stride according to their will. Once gamers have successfully lured them into their trap, they need to oblige Stalkers to execute an attack. This is their chance to unveil the illusion and stun them with a potent attack. The shotgun is the best weapon to use against Stalkers.

Clickers

Clickers are one of the most horrible looking creatures in The Last of us 2. All the gamers prayed for not encountering them. The major reason behind it is the unpleasant sounds that they made while moving. Clickers belong to Zombies of the parasitic family who believe in the theory of feasting themselves. They navigate their food through echolocation, and the first thing that comes in their way, they start eating it. Once they stick to Ellie’s body, then in no time she will fall to death. Thus, gamers need to beware of Clickers a lot. However, they are quite vulnerable to Ellie’s attacks. Gamers need to stun the Clickers using a throwable move and then instantly take a headshot. Gamers should use a Blast Shotgun to eliminate Clickers because this is the only weapon of Clickers that has the potency to break Clickers’s head into pieces.

Bloaters

These are hefty, strong, and the only Zombies in The Last of Us 2’s world who are armoured. They will come after Ellie, similar to Stalkers, and whenever they have encountered her, they will inflict damage. However, the only advantage that gamers can avail of is their blindness. Though, they are skilled with the power of senses, especially the smell through which they manage to hunt down their prey. The best piece of advice for gamers is to remain silent while they encountered Bloaters. A little movement of gamers will encourage Bloaters to fire at them. Gamers need to take a headshot at Bloaters using the Shotgun, and they need to be quite silent while executing the shot. Gamers need to be aware of one more thing: they will get only one shot because if they miss, then Bloaters will start attacking them.

Shambers

Shambers is an evolved family member of Runners and is even more deadly than them. They also contain a hiding ability of Stalkers through which they often succeed in eliminating the gamers. However, due to their immense structure, Ellie easily finds them whenever she intends. First, gamers need to be aware and then start navigating them whenever they feel they are being followed. Once they successfully found them, then they had to use the Molotov to kill Shambers. Gamers will be succeeded in no time as Shambers are pretty vulnerable against Molotov.

Rat King

Rat King is one of the strongest Zombie in the world of The Last of us 2. Rat King is a minion of Abby, and whenever gamers try to fight her, they will arrive to hinder them. Gamers require to use quite a few weapons on Rat King because they need to have some for Abby’s fight. Thus, we advise gamers to use Molotov against them because it will thrash all the Rat Kings. Rat King possesses quite fast attacking moves, so we suggest gamers to use a skill upgrade for using the maximum speed of Ellie.
