The Last of Us Part II Welcomes “Grounded” Mode
If you’re a Trophy Masochist, and you remember grinding through trophy lists to achieve certain permadeath parameters (say that five times fast) then you should be happy to know that PERMADEATH IS COMING TO THE LAST OF US 2!!! One life for the entire game, no continues or saves. Naughty Dog’s Triple A IP is getting a free update come August 13th, to add “Grounded” and “Permadeath” trophies to the listing.
There is good news for all of those Trophy junkies out there. These two new trophies coming Thursday DO NOT affect the overall achievement for Platinum. “Grounded” was first revealed in The Last of Us back in 2013, and is one of the hardest difficulty modes. Some character enhancements and ultra reduced resources throughout the game are part of this difficulty, along with extremely tough enemies. Tack this on with Permadeath on Survivor, and it all makes Wolfenstein 2’s “Mein Leben” Trophy look like a cake walk.
Naughty Dog also took the liberty of add new modifiers for the game. They are listed as follows:
- Mirror World
- Mirror on Death
- Slow Motion
- Bullet Speed Mode
- Infinite Ammo
- Infinite Crafting
- Infinite Melee Durability
- Infinite Listen Mode Durability
- Infinite Listen Mode Range
- One Shot
- Touch of Death
- 8-bit Audio
- 4-bit Audio
- Helium Audio
- Xenon Audio
All of these new features can be seen in the new trailer below, provided by Playstation Studios.
