The Last of Us 2 is hiding a pretty handy dodge animation to help Ellie get out🌄 of a tough spot.

Just below, you can see a brief clip of gameplay from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last of Us 2, that was posted to The Last of Us subreddit earlier today. In the clip, the player dives backwards onto the ground to escape the clutches of♚ a rambling Bloater, effectively dodging the towering enemy, and readying their shotgun for a quick blast to the face to finish the monster off.

We had absolutely no idea this was a thing in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Naughty Dog's sequel, and it turns out neither did many of the people who viewed the clip on Reddit. The comments section underneath the post above is full🐻 of people expressing admiration for Naughty Dog's animation, as the entire process of seeing Ellie dive to the ground and ready her weapon is seamless.

Further down the thread, the posted explains how theཧy're able to ensure they pull of the dodge every time. When sprinting in The Last of Us 2, you can hold circle to dive headfirst onto the ground, but you should be be able to replicate the clip above if you sprint, hold circle, and then immediately hold down the left trigger to bring up your weapon. That's going to save us countless times on our next playthrough of the sequel.

This isn't the only community discovery surrounding Naughty Dog's sequel to come about in 2021. Just last week, a player discovered that if you grab a standard "runner" infected and let a Clicker grab you, the Clicker will chow down on the 𝔉hapless runner instead of you, le𓂃tting you maneuver behind the Clicker for a swift melee kill. It's an astoundin🐈g discovery, and can really change how the player approaches zombie-filled situations.
