The crafting menu in The Last of us.

Crafting is a gameplay mechanic featured in The Last of Us, Left Behind, Factions MP, and in The Last of Us Part II. It allows the player to create items from simple supplies. For example, in both games, a Health Kit can be crafted from Alcohol and Rags.

Description[]

To craft an item from scavenged materials, the player must have the required ingredients, open their backpack, and perform the craft. Crafting is a method to acquire something useful out of multiple useless things, like in the case of the Molotov cocktail which can be created from rags and alcohol which have no use on their own. There exists some overlap in the uses of each ingredient. For example, the ingredients for the Molotov Cocktail can also be used to make a health kit. Supplies are grouped into several categories, so oftentimes you will not need a specific item to craft something, rather a generic group of items can be used interchangeably. For example, in The Last of Us, duct tape and sports wrap are both in the Binding group. Regardless of which particular item is found, the player can perform crafts that require Binding.

The Last of Us[]

An item can be crafted when the Crafting wrench icon appears next to the item in the crafting menu.
