The Last of Us Part 2 Grounded Update
Grounded Difficulty Returns, Plus New Permadeath Mode
- This difficulty raises the stakes by not only making enemies deadlier and ammo, upgrade, and crafting materials incredibly scarce, but also removing invaluable tools for survival, such as disabling Listen mode, deactivating elements of the HUD, and more.
