The Outskirts: Museum and The Capitol Building

A chase into the museum, the game's first workbench, the rooftops to the Capitol and a flooded subway.

This stretch runs from the street above the subway to the stairs that end the chapter. It holds the game's first workbench and the second shiv door, so bring a whole shiv. The first swim comes near the end. A missed pickup can be collected after the credits with Chapter Select.

Artefact: Medical PamphletCollectible
Location
The Outskirts · Museum – At the top of the ladder a truck blocks the road: kill the three Runners in the building on the left, roll the cabinet from the middle of its room against the truck, climb over and drop down. Turn around: the back of the truck is open and the note is inside. On a replay, load Downtown for this one, as the Museum start may be past it.
Summary
An Artefact inside the truck that blocks the road, just before the garage door.

Before you open the garage door

Have the Medical Pamphlet first. It is inside the truck behind you, and the door starts a chase.

Save parts for Combat Ready

The trophy needs one weapon fully upgraded. The Revolver is the cheapest at 155 parts and needs tool level 3, so don't spread parts thin.

Workbench: Museum GarageArea
Location
The Outskirts · Museum – It stands near the large truck, on the left of the doorway out of the garage. Open it even with nothing to spend. Only the 9mm and Revolver can be upgraded this early.
Summary
The game's first workbench. It counts once you open it, with or without an upgrade.

The Outskirts · Museum – Leave the garage and pass through the office rooms, door by door, to the room with the collapsed ceiling. Walk up the ramp it makes, hugging the back wall, then climb onto the narrow ledge on the left against the window. Shimmy to the end: it is in the display case.
Summary
One of the 30 pendants, in a display case at the end of a ledge.

Before you move the beam

Have the garage workbench opened and the Michael Kiper pendant in hand first. The beam splits the route.

Shiv Door: Museum CafeOther
Location
The Outskirts · Museum – Go through the tunnel into the rooms around the horse statue and bring down the three Clickers from behind, using the bricks lying about and keeping your shiv whole. Then go left through the doors into the cafe: the locked door is on your right as you enter. Take the supplies inside.
Summary
The second locked room. Bring a whole shiv.
Report an issue
Before you take the stairs

Open the cafe shiv door first. The staircase at the end of the corridor takes Joel on, away from these rooms.

Before you go through the window

Talk to Tess, then Ellie, before you leave this room. Tess climbs out after her talk, and following her gives up the talk with Ellie.

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.

Last verified: Nov 7, 2026 · Patch Latest patch (PS5, PC on Steam and Epic), with Left Behind · 0 community corrections shipped
