20 Things You Didn't Know About Uncharted

1. Nate Doesn't Ever Take Bullet Damage

Uncharted has been around since 2007, but it wasn't until 2018 when we learned this incredibly interesting fact about the way the games work. Pfft.

You know that red HUD element (at the very top of the above image) that's displayed whenever Nate is being shot at by enemies? That's not meant to represent blood, or damage. It's actually a sign that his luck is getting close to running out.

This was revealed by Jonathan Cooper - an animator who worked on Uncharted 4 - on Twitter, who stated that Nate only dies after taking enough "near-misses".

So yeah - every bad guy in the Uncharted series has worse aim than we thought.

And does this mean that Chloe's red "bullet damage" HUD streaks are also meant to represent luck in The Lost Legacy? Does every Uncharted protagonist have this superpower?! So many questions.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
