The Last of Us Part II: Tips for Getting the Sharpshooter Trophy

How to Get the Sharpshooter Trophy

Win the Shooting Competition mini-game in the Stadium during Seattle Day 1 (Abby)

During Seattle Day 1 (Abby), you can enter the shooting range in the Stadium and start a Shooting Competition against Manny. The competition involves hitting human-shaped targets with 9 bullets and competing for points. Regardless of the difficulty level, if you score 84 points or higher, you can beat Manny and get the Sharpshooter trophy.

Tips for Winning the Shooting Competition mini-game

Aim for the red zones

The score of the target decreases as you move away from the red zones. The center of the head and torso is worth 10 points, but since the torso is larger, aim for that.

Shoot when the reticle is small

As you aim the gun, the reticle gradually becomes smaller, increasing accuracy. Shoot when the reticle is at its smallest. Also, firing a shot temporarily increases the size of the reticle, but it will shrink again over time. Therefore, avoid rapid firing and wait for the reticle to become small again before shooting each shot.

Using auto-aim is also an option

For those who struggle with shooting, you can turn on auto-aim in the options menu. With auto-aim enabled, it will make it easier to aim for the red areas. However, keep in mind that even with auto-aim, the reticle is constantly moving, so shoot when the reticle aligns with the red target.
