Tools are the items you need to fully upgrade your weapons. Until you acquire extra tools in The Last of Us Part 1, you can only upgrade your weapons up to a certain level. To fully enhance your favorites, you’ll absolutely need to find all these tool locations. Some are easy. Some are not so easy. We’ve included all the locations in the full guide below, so you’ll never miss out on one of the most important collectibles in the game.
Toolboxes prevent you from fully upgrading your weapons — essentially, they’re used to gate your progress so you can’t become too powerful too early. That’s why it’s always a good idea to save some of your scrap parts until you find a new toolbox. Tools are always located in areas where you can access a workbench nearby, so you can immediately reap the benefits and select your favorite upgrades. Not all upgrades are created equal, so getting the upgrades you want most can make a huge difference.
