Last of Us Part 2: How to Go Prone

For The Last of Us Part II, Naughty Dog has increased the range of movement Ellie has at her disposal when traversing locations. Many of the game’s different sandboxes require her to crouch, leap, and climb to overcome various obstacles –sometimes, even, to lay completely flat and crawl her way through the dirt. Here’s how to go prone in The Last of Us Part 2.

How to Go Prone in Last of Us Part 2

You will learn to go prone in the very early stages of The Last of Us Part 2 when controlling Abby for the first time. But if you’ve forgotten for whatever reason then here’s a gentle reminder.

Proning is a simple technique that simply requires you to hold circle, which should feel fairly intuitive given that circle is typically the button you’ll use to crouch. So, to lower your stance even further into full prone just hold it.

As you can see above, going prone is typically something that you’ll be employing to navigate small passages. However, it’s also useful during stealth encounters when you’re hiding in tall grass and the like. It can often be the difference between being seen and not.

That is everything you should need to know about how to go prone in The Last of Us Part 2. For more useful tips and guides on the game, Twinfinite has you covered with some extensive coverage all compiled in our dedicated wiki page.
