Armor / Gear Sets
  • No Equipable Armor System: Nathan Drake does not have an equipable armor system where players can find or upgrade different pieces of armor for stat boosts. His survivability is based on his health (which regenerates when out of combat) and player skill in using cover, dodging, and defeating enemies efficiently. There are no armor items to collect or equip.
  • Cosmetic Outfits (Multiplayer & Bonus Content): In the original PS4 multiplayer mode, and as unlockable bonus content for the single-player campaign (often after first completion or via special editions), various cosmetic outfits for Nathan Drake and other characters were available. These were purely visual and did not offer gameplay advantages.
  • No Equipable Armor System: Neither Ellie nor Abby equip traditional armor pieces that provide direct stat bonuses or can be upgraded. Their survivability is determined by their base health (which can be increased via skill upgrades for Abby, and finding Training Manuals that unlock health skills for both), player skill in combat/stealth, and the use of health kits. Clothing changes are purely cosmetic and tied to story progression or unlockable skins in the Remastered version.
  • Crafted Items & Skill Upgrades (Implied Protection/Resilience): While not 'armor,' skills related to damage resistance, faster healing, improved dodging, or increased health act as a form of defensive progression. Crafting potent health kits is crucial. Some weapon upgrades might improve handling, indirectly aiding defense by allowing quicker enemy dispatch.
Outfits/Customization
  • Nathan Drake's Outfits: Throughout the story, Nathan Drake wears several distinct outfits appropriate to the location and situation (e.g., casual wear at home, rugged adventure gear in Madagascar, diving suit, formal attire for an auction). These are generally fixed for specific chapters. Unlockable cosmetic outfits are available after completing the game or through special editions/Legacy of Thieves Collection, allowing players to replay chapters with different looks (e.g., classic Drake outfits, wetsuits).
  • Multiplayer Character Customization (Original PS4): The original PS4 multiplayer mode allowed extensive customization of playable characters (heroes and villains from the Uncharted series) with hundreds of unlockable clothing items (hats, shirts, pants, accessories) and taunts.
  • Ellie's Outfits: Ellie wears several distinct outfits throughout the game, reflecting the different environments and stages of her journey (e.g., Jackson winter gear, Seattle casual/combat attire, Santa Barbara outfit). These are story-dictated and not directly customizable by the player in the base game beyond what's equipped for a chapter. The Remastered version adds unlockable cosmetic skins for Ellie.
  • Abby's Outfits: Abby also wears different outfits based on her role and location (e.g., WLF soldier uniform, more rugged attire later). Similar to Ellie, these are tied to story progression. The Remastered version adds unlockable cosmetic skins for Abby.
  • Backpack Customization (Minor): While not extensive, Ellie can find and attach keychains to her backpack, which are small cosmetic collectibles.
  • Unlockable Skins (The Last of Us Part II Remastered): The PS5 Remastered version introduces a variety of unlockable cosmetic skins for both Ellie and Abby, as well as weapon skins. These are earned by completing challenges in the 'No Return' mode or through other means, and can be applied in Story Mode or No Return.
trending_up Progression & Upgrades
Skills & Progression

Uncharted 4 does not feature a traditional RPG skill tree or extensive character stat upgrades for Nathan Drake. Progression is primarily through acquiring new weapons and gear found in levels or dropped by enemies. There are no craftable upgrades for Nate's personal abilities. Gameplay mastery comes from improving player skill in combat, stealth, platforming, and puzzle-solving. Some weapon 'upgrades' are simply finding more powerful versions or attachments. The grappling hook is a key new tool that enhances traversal and combat options.

help_outline FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
  • Q: Is Uncharted 4: A Thief's End the last Uncharted game with Nathan Drake?
    A: Yes, Naughty Dog has stated that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the conclusion to Nathan Drake's story arc. While the Uncharted universe continued with 'The Lost Legacy' (starring Chloe Frazer), Drake's journey as the protagonist effectively ends here.
  • Q: Do I need to play the previous Uncharted games to understand Uncharted 4?
    A: While Uncharted 4 has a self-contained main plot, playing the previous three games (Drake's Fortune, Among Thieves, Drake's Deception) is highly recommended. It significantly enhances the emotional weight of the story, the understanding of character relationships (especially with Elena and Sully), and the impact of Nathan Drake's final adventure.
  • Q: What is new in terms of gameplay in Uncharted 4 compared to previous titles?
    A: Uncharted 4 introduced several new gameplay mechanics, including a grappling hook for enhanced traversal and combat, more open 'wide-linear' level designs with drivable vehicles (jeep, boat), improved stealth mechanics with tall grass and enemy tagging, and more dynamic melee combat with environmental interactions.
  • Q: Does the 'Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection' include multiplayer?
    A: No, the 'Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection' for PS5 and PC includes the single-player campaigns of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy only. The multiplayer modes from the original PS4 releases are not included in this collection.
  • Q: How long is Uncharted 4: A Thief's End?

Players choose a character (from a roster including Ellie, Abby, Joel, Tommy, and others, each with unique traits) and attempt to survive runs through randomized encounters, earning currency to unlock new characters, skins, and gameplay modifiers.
  • Q: Are there different endings in The Last of Us Part II?

Sound design is incredibly realistic and impactful, crucial for stealth (enemy callouts, footsteps), combat (visceral weapon sounds, infected screeches), and environmental immersion.

User Interface (UI/UX)

Features a minimalistic and cinematic HUD, displaying ammo count, equipped weapon, and contextual prompts for interactions, stealth, and combat. A simple objective marker guides players. No traditional mini-map during gameplay to enhance immersion; players rely on environmental cues and Nate's journal. The journal contains sketches, notes, and puzzle solutions.

Features an immersive and minimalistic HUD. Health is often indicated by screen effects and character animations rather than a persistent bar (though one can be enabled). Ammo count and equipped items are displayed contextually. Crafting and upgrade menus are accessed through Ellie's/Abby's backpack. Listen Mode highlights enemies through walls. The UI is designed to keep players immersed in the world.

Accessibility Options

Naughty Dog has been a leader in accessibility. Uncharted 4 (especially in the Legacy of Thieves Collection) offers a wide array of options: extensive control remapping, subtitle and caption customization (size, color, background, speaker names), options for motion blur/camera shake, aim assist lock-on, options for QTEs (hold vs. tap), high contrast modes, audio cues for collectibles and combat, navigation assistance, and more.

Naughty Dog set a new industry standard for accessibility with Part II, offering over 60 options. These include comprehensive control remapping, extensive subtitle/caption customization, options for visual aids (high contrast mode, screen magnifier, traversal/combat audio cues), navigation and traversal assistance, options to skip puzzles, combat accessibility (invisible while prone, reduced enemy perception/accuracy, auto-pickup), and text-to-speech/speech-to-text features.
