The Last of Us is one of those titles that one can call near perfect. The graphics, the gameplay, the story, everything is just amazingly fascinating and captivating. However, despite being one of the best ever, it still has some major game-breaking bugs that, when exploited, can lead to shocking and absurd results.
Youtuber Speclizer posted a video on July 5th, 2021, titled “Tiny Mistakes in The Last of Us Part II,” but the mistakes he pointed out were straight-up outrageous. For instance, he revealed that Abby can actually kill Tommy by sliding under the closing shutter during the sniper rifle chase encounter in The Last of Us II!
When Abby kills Tommy, the game breaks as Abby cannot leave the closed room and progress further into the game, so the encounter has to be restarted.
This glitch is extremely difficult to pull off and needs to be perfectly timed so Abby can enter the room that Tommy is shutting off. Once the players enter the room, they can take down Tommy like any other enemy NPC in the game.
As the developers never intended for Tommy to die by the hands of Abby in this sequence, the game breaks. Players must restart the encounter and play it conventionally to progress further into the game.
As wild as it is, this is not the only time Tommy gets “injured.” He also ends up losing an eye later in the game.
How did Tommy lose his eye in The Last of Us II?
Tommy lost his eye when Abby shot him in the head during the finale theatre sequence in The Last of Us II.
When Abby and Ellie face off in the abandoned theatre, Abby beats down Tommy and uses him as a hostage to push Ellie to surrender, which she does.
As Abby aims to shoot Ellie, Tommy grabs her gun and wrestles her for the gun, but unfortunately, Lev shoots him in the leg, enabling Abby to knock him down and put a bullet in his head.
How did Tommy survive being shot?
Tommy survived the shot as the bullet merely grazed the orbital plate temple of his head, resulting in him losing only an eye.
Abby immediately chases Ellie into the theatre after shooting Tommy, so she gets no chance to confirm the kill on Tommy. Phew! Close call, lads.
He later appears in the farmhouse sequence, where he can be seen already recovered from the bullet wound but with no right eye.
