As players make their way throughThe Last of Us 2they will get access to a variety of different weapons, ranging from pistols to bows and beyond. To make good use of these offensive tools, fans will occasionally need to refill their ammunition, though how that is done may not be immediately obvious. Fortunately, it is quite simple to reload inThe Last of Us 2, and this guide has all of the details that players will need.
To get right to it, reloading inThe Last of Us 2is directly tied to the fire button (R2 by default), and players simply need to press that input while not aiming to replenish a weapon’s ammo. Indeed, R2 serves as both a way to shoot and reload, with the first occurring if L2 is held when R2 is pressed and the latter occurring if it is not, and it may take someTLoU2playersa bit of time to adjust to this control scheme.

That is because manypopular shootersuse face buttons for reloading and triggers for firing. Without question, that is sure to feel like a very intuitive setup to many players, and reloading inThe Last of Us 2may initially be a bit disorienting as a result. That said, 2013’sThe Last of Usalso put firing and reloading on the same button, so it is certainly not without precedent.
One other thing to say about reloading inThe Last of Us Part 2is that it can only be done if a player has extra ammunition. Fans can check the state of their ammo by looking at the bottom-right corner of the screen, as details on how many bullets are in a weapon’s chamber and how many are in reserve are displayed in that portion ofTLoU2’s UI.
To note, there is a limit to how many bullets any given gun can hold at one time, though it is possible toupgrade weapons inThe Last of Us 2in order to increase their capacity. Not all of the weapons in the game can be upgraded this way, but those that can receive a capacity increase will not need to be reloaded as frequently.
The Last of Us 2is out now, exclusively for PS4.
