3. Save Up For Ellie's Faster Stealth Kill Upgrade First

If there's one minuscule gripe with Last of Us 2, it's Naughty Dog not coding a ton of different stealth kill animations.

I certainly got sick of Joel's chokehold move in the first game, and here you'll be doing the same "grab, stab and slowly put body down" animation for hours on end.

Thankfully, you can do one alternative - you just need to unlock it.

Obtained for 60 Supplements as the final upgrade inside the "Stealth" tree, this lets you grab enemies and dispatch them in seconds - playing further into that notion of Ellie completely dominating any encounter she's in.

Combine with other things I've mentioned - corner takedowns, using dodge animations to move faster - and you can really run circles around any opponent.
