Bus Depot: Highway Exit

Down a highway into Salt Lake City, through a bus station and out to a camp of medical tents.

This stretch runs from a highway to a camp of medical tents, and all six of the chapter's conversations are on it, one after another. Walk slowly, and let each one finish before you move on. The last Tool is in the largest tent. Keep Blades and Binding for two whole shivs, because the last two shiv doors are still ahead. A missed pickup can be collected after the credits with Chapter Select, but take the Tool on this pass.

Take Tool 5 in the large tent

This is the last Tool, and it has no second spot. Take it from the large tent ahead and read the tracker, which should show 5/5. If it reads lower, you've missed an earlier Tool.

Head for the largest, second from the left and behind the tank, with a trailer at its entrance. The toolbox is on the folding table to your right as you go in. Read the tracker: it should show 5/5.

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.
