Bill's Town: Graveyard and High School Escape

Bill's armoury, the Graveyard and the houses beyond, then the school and the truck out of Lincoln.

Bill's armoury holds the first Tool and the only workbench in this chapter, so stop there before you go up into the church. After that come a yard of Clickers, a run of houses, the school and the first Bloater, so save the Pump Shotgun's shells and any Molotovs for it. A missed pickup can be collected after the credits with Chapter Select, but take the Tool on this pass.

Bill's Town · Graveyard – In the basement, walk over to Bill when he mentions the bomb and take it from the desk. If it's already in your pack, there's nothing to take. Craft one as soon as you hold a Blade and an Explosive.

Bill shows Joel his Nail Bomb. It's one of the six crafts Geared Up wants.

About this guide

One run of the story and one of Left Behind, on any difficulty: no trophy depends on it. The story is one way, so take each pickup before you move on. After the credits, Chapter Select clears anything its menu shows as short, but take the Workbench Tools on the first run: the menu doesn't show them, and one taken on a replay may not count.
