The shock may have worn off in the years since the game’s release, but many players were surprised whenThe Last Of Us2let them step into the shoes of Abby. You’d be forgiven for wanting to rush through her segments, especially if you’d truly felt Ellie’s desire for revenge. Rewards lie in wait for players taking things slow and steady, however. There are many well-hidden trophies lurking in Abby’s section of the game.
Almost immediately aftertaking control of Joel’s killer, you’ll get a chance to prove your shooting skills in a somewhat friendly competition. Your opponent is Manny, and the Sharpshooter trophy tasks players withbeating his score. It can be a tough one to unlock, especially if you don’t see it coming, but a walk in the park whencompared to Grounded modeor theall-new roguelike mode No Return.
How To Unlock the ‘Sharpshooter’ Trophy
As mentioned above, this trophy is earned early on duringSeattle Day 1when playing as Abby. It’s easy to miss if you’re eager to get out of the stadium, but you should make a manual save (options, save game, and choose a slot) after signing some papers, asManny invites you to join himin the shooting range soon after. General tips and things worth knowing are as follows:
If you didn’t make a manual save before the competition, then you’ll need to restart the whole chapter to try again. Loading a checkpoint won’t help, unfortunately, as the game makes an autosave right after the competition ends. If you’re really struggling and don’t mind starting another playthrough (to gather collectibles, for example), then the Sharpshooter trophy can be made trivial in new game plus. Upgrading Abby’s rifle with a scope during your first playthrough will see the same scope added to the rifle she uses in the competition. Thankfully, Manny doesn’t object to the obvious advantage.
No matter how the final score is reached, surpassing Manny with a score of 84 or more will see theSharpshooter trophy unlock.
