Looking for all Weapons locations and upgrades in The Last of Us 1? You're going to need firepower if you intend to survive Naughty Dog's harsh post-apocalyptic world. Fortunately, there are 9 Weapons to find and use. You can then upgrade these at Workbenches using the Weapons Parts you scavenge and your Workbench Tools.

The Last of Us 1: All Weapons Locations and Upgrades

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. Once you've found a Weapon you can upgrade it at Workbenches using Weapons Parts and Workbench Tools. 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.
