Lure Enemies to a trap

Guiding Enemies to the Trap Mine in The Last of Us Part II

By making noise near the Trap Mine with bricks or empty bottles, enemies will be attracted to the location and the mine will automatically explode. This is especially useful against infected, as they will all head towards the source of the noise, allowing you to take down multiple enemies at once.

Place them along Enemy Patrol Routes

Setting up Trap Mines in The Last of Us Part II
