Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Guide
Basics
Damage Indicator:
o The Uncharted Series has a rather raw and realistic appearance. You have no health bar. Instead, when you're hit
by enemies the screen's outer edges get a little bloody, and if you get severely hurt the screen will turn grey.
o When you get hit several times, stay behind cover to make sure you're not hit for a short period of time. This will
allow you to recover, and you can do this as many times as you like. Keep in mind however that if you're hit during
any time while recovering, the whole process starts over again and you have to wait several seconds once again to
recover.
o The blood on the screen's sides also gives an indication as to where the enemy fire is coming from. If the left side
of the screen turns red, quickly take cover behind something to your right as you can be sure that enemies are firing
at you from your left.
Taking Cover:
o It's extremely important to take cover in Uncharted 2. Rushing over to groups of enemies is the best way to
quickly get yourself killed.
Blindfire:
o While it's not an effective way to kill enemies, blindfiring from behind cover is done by simple pressing R1 while
in cover.
Headshots:
o Try to take enemies out with headshots. The pistol is the weapon of choice for trying to kill soldiers with
headshots. Weapons such as the AK-47 lack the accuracy to perform well on this task, and Shotguns lack the range
to effectively hit the enemy. Magnums are not suited either; A Desert - 5 will take out the enemy regardless of where
you hit them either way, while a Pistole lacks once again the range in a similar way Shotguns lack this.
Grenades:
o Hurl grenades at your foes with L2 and adjust the throwing angle with the right analog stick. Nate will throw
grenades quite precisely, so you can greatly use this as a tactical advantage against turrets.
o When enemies throw grenades at you they'll usually shout something such as “flesh him out!”, so be alerted when
this happens and try to kill the wanker who's about to hurl one at you. Of course, you're always alarmed by the
grenade indicator on screen, as well as the bleeping sound, and even Nate himself as he comments on the grenade.
Enough indications to roll away in time from the explosion.
Propane Tanks:
o You'll occassionally come across propane gas canisters. These are highly inflammable and shooting them will
cause an explosion similar to a grenade.
o Alternatively you can pick these tanks up and hurl them away in the same fashion you throw grenades. It's
possible to immediately shoot the tank by tapping the R1 button.
Stealth Kills:
o There are various ways to perform a stealh kill, and they all require that no enemy has spotted you thus far.
o Even when you can perform a stealth kill, always check your surroundings to see if other enemies can see what
you're doing. If they can, try and wait until they're looking away.
o Sitting behind a crate or a low wall with an enemy standing on the other side is a guaranteed stealh kill. Press
