The revelation of playing as Abby in The Last Of Us 2 took many players by surprise. While some may be tempted to rush through her segments, those who take a methodical approach can uncover well-hidden trophies. Abby’s section holds the key to the elusive ‘Sharpshooter’ trophy, a challenge that may seem daunting but brings substantial rewards for those who prevail.
How To Unlock the ‘Sharpshooter’ Trophy
This trophy becomes available early on during Seattle Day 1 when you step into Abby’s shoes. The opportunity arises in the shooting range, where Manny invites you to showcase your marksmanship. To increase your chances of success, consider making a manual save after signing some papers, ensuring you can retry the competition without restarting the entire chapter.
Here are some essential tips to conquer the ‘Sharpshooter’ trophy:
- Aim for the Red Part: Target the red section of the chest for the highest score, as it’s easier to hit than the head.
- Steady Aim: Take your time between shots to let your aim reset; there’s no time pressure.
- Know the Scores: Manny consistently scores 83, and your goal is to surpass him with a score of 90.
- Manage Ammo: You have only one magazine, and your remaining shots are displayed in the bottom right.
- Utilize Aim Assist: Enable aim assist features such as Aim Assist strength, Lock-On Aim, and Lock-On Strength to enhance precision.
- Minimize Weapon Sway: Disable weapon sway in the Accessibility menu to maintain a stable aim.
- Reload Manual Save if Needed: If you fall short, reload the manual save to retry the competition.
If you didn’t create a manual save, restarting the entire chapter becomes the only option. Loading a checkpoint won’t help, as the game autosaves right after the competition concludes. For those seeking an easier route, consider a new game plus playthrough. Upgrading Abby’s rifle with a scope during the initial playthrough adds the same advantage to the rifle used in the competition.
Regardless of your approach, achieving a score of 84 or higher will secure the ‘Sharpshooter’ trophy. So, take a breath, steady your aim, and let the rewards unfold as you outshine Manny in this intense shooting competition.
