Summary
A fan ofThe Last of Us Part 1discovered a strange bug where an infected behaves like a human npc.The Last of Us Part 1is a remake of Naughty Dog’s 2013 masterpiece and launched on PS5 in September 2022.
WhenThe Last of Us Part 1was announced, fans of the game seemed confused about the decision to remake the title, asThe Last of Usis already playable on the PS5 via the game’s much cheaper PS4 remaster. This wouldn’t be a problem if the remake offered a lot of new content to warrant the $70 price tag, butThe Last of Us Part 1is a largely faithful recreation of the original game. Despite this,The Last of Us Part 1saw positive reviews upon release. This doesn’t make the game perfect though, and players have still encountered their fair share of bugs in the title.
With the success of HBO’sThe Last of Usadaptation, more and more players have been hopping into the game. While playing the latest version ofThe Last of Us, Reddit user Nightdragons_ encountered a bug where an infected was behaving like a human rather than an enemy. Nightdragons_ took toThe Last of Ussubreddit to share the video of this bug, questioning if it actually was a bug or if the infected was just blending in. In the video, Nightdragons_ lures the infected to a secluded area in an attempt to have it walk into a tripwire. However, instead of walking into the wire like it’s supposed to, the infected ducks under the wire as if it were a human character.
The Last of Us: Bug or Feature?
Other players in the thread confirmed thatThe Last of Usglitch is indeed a glitch and not intentional. In the thread, NotTheRocketman shares their experience attempting to do the same thing as in the video. They said that they have been able to lure infected into tripwires in multiple different versions ofThe Last of Us,and it worked as intended. So Nightdragons_’s experience is just a strange glitch and not intentional.
Despite fans not understanding the purpose ofThe Last of Usbeing remade, Naughty Dog releasedThe Last of Us Part 2 Remasteredin January this year to even more confusion.The Last of Us Part 2is already a divisive game in the series, and all the complaints about the remake of the first game apply to this release as well. Despite mixed receptions to the PS5 renditions ofThe Last of Usgames, now is the perfect time to get into the series. Season 2 of the HBO adaptation is in development and the PS5 games serve as an easy means to experience the franchise.
