Introduction to Guard Dogs

The Last of Us 2 Introduction of "Dogs" that can Smell Scents

Patrolling WLF soldiers are accompanied by enemy dogs in the Hillcrest section. These guard dogs can track Ellie's scent, throw bottles as a distraction, and don't stay in the same place for too long to stay undetected.

Snipe the Dog Owner First

Silently snipe the dog's owner with a Bow or Silencer. The dog will stay in place for a short period, making them an easier target. For efficient takedowns, always eliminate the person with the dog first.

Make Use of the Bow

Hillcrest Part where you can use the silent weapon "Bow"
