The Ultimate Cheat Guide for The Last of Us Part I

The Last of Us Part 1 delivers exciting gameplay and compelling mechanics, featuring a variety of cheats and exploits. The game is packed with numerous hidden tricks that can ease the challenges.

These exploits went unpatched during the original release and are still present in the remastered version. This guide includes all the cheats and exploits found throughout the game.

Create Unlimited Shivs

Shivs are useful for unlocking doors, collecting supplements, and serve as silent weapons for sneaking up on enemies. Each shiv can be utilized up to three times. However, with this exploit, you can create unlimited shivs in The Last of Us Part 1.

To execute this trick, equip an upgraded melee weapon before entering Bill’s Town. Then, swap the upgraded weapon for a non-upgraded one, granting you a free binding and blade. Continue this swapping process to generate unlimited bindings and blades for crafting shivs.

Note that this exploit was fixed for some players in patch 1.11. If you want to utilize this method, you’ll need to downgrade your game to version 1.0.

Unlimited Ammo and Supplies

Finding ammo and supplies can be a challenge, especially on hard difficulty. Luckily, there’s a simple cheat that can assist you. The Last of Us Part 1 allows players to change the difficulty level at any time during gameplay. This means you can gather all the ammo and supplies on easy difficulty before switching back to hard.

This method allows you to stockpile enough ammunition for your El Diablo.
