Learn how to deal with Clickers in The Last of Us Part II. Get tips on stealth, combat, and resource management to overcome these terrifying infected.

Hey there! So, you've run into the Clickers, huh? These guys are seriously unsettling, but don't worry, we'll get you through this. They're blind, but they've got this super-sensitive echolocation thing going on, so staying quiet is your absolute best bet.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Stealth is King: Whenever you hear that awful clicking sound, get low and move slowly. Crouch and use cover to your advantage. If you can, try to sneak up behind them for a stealth kill. A quick melee strike from behind will take them down without a fuss.
  2. 2
    Distraction is Your Friend: Throwing bottles or bricks is your best friend here. Toss one away from your path to lure the Clicker in a different direction, giving you a clear path to sneak by or get into a better position for an attack.
  3. 3
    Headshots are Crucial: If you have to fight them head-on, aim for the head. A shotgun blast to the face will usually do the trick, or a few well-placed rifle shots. Don't waste ammo on their bodies unless you absolutely have to.
  4. 4
    Melee Caution: If you're close and have a melee weapon, be careful. A single Clicker can grab you, and if you don't mash the button fast enough to break free, it's usually game over. If you have a shiv, it's a guaranteed stealth kill, so save those for when you can get behind them undetected.
  5. 5
    Resource Management: Clickers often appear in areas where resources are scarce. Always be on the lookout for ammo, crafting supplies, and health kits. If you're low on supplies, prioritize stealth and evasion over direct confrontation.
Tips
  • Listen carefully to their clicking. The closer they are, the louder and more frequent the clicks become.
  • Use your Listen Mode (R1/RB) sparingly, as it can sometimes alert them if you overuse it or are too close.
  • If you're playing on a harder difficulty, every bullet counts. Make sure your shots are accurate.
  • Don't be afraid to run past them if you have a clear path and they haven't spotted you. Sometimes, evasion is the best strategy.
  • Always try to craft Molotovs or nail bombs when you have the supplies. They're great for clearing out groups or dealing heavy damage to a single Clicker if you're cornered.
