Weapons are offensive armaments that once collected will be permanently added to your arsenal. You'll know you can pick up a Weapon when a yellow icon appears next to it.

Weapons Parts are located in many different places, but you'll predominantly find large quantities behind Shiv Doors and inside Safes. Below is a list of all Weapons locations and upgrades as part of our The Last of Us 1 guide, as well as some choice statistics.
