Patrol routes map is the tenth collectible artifact, and the thirteenth collectible overall, in The Last of Us. It is found during the "Outside" section of the third chapter, "The Outskirts".[1]
Description[]
A map produced by the Federal Disaster Response Agency (FEDRA) depicting a portion of the city from beyond the wall of the Boston quarantine zone, specifically by its fifth gate. Labeled on the map towards the southwest end is the FEDRA-controlled checkpoint Charlie. A smuggler—presumably Joel or Tess—labeled the map using a marker, displaying military patrol routes along the west, southwest, and south perimeter of the wall; a potential hostile camp to the southwest; areas infested with the infected in the southwest and south; and the safest route to checkpoint Charlie.[1]
Acquisition[]
At the beginning of the chapter, Joel is required to start a generator to power an elevator that Tess and Ellie are waiting on. Get on the elevator and interact with the button to descend, where Joel and Tess will have a conversation about Fireflies from another city waiting at the drop off, prompting Tess to question Ellie about her importance. After getting off the elevator, immediately turn right and walk to the corner in between the two water heating tanks and a wooden pallet leaning against a chain link fence. The map can be found lying on the ground among some litter.[1]
Be sure to pick up the artifact before crouching through the tunnel and climbing the ladder to the outside, as the area is inaccessible after that.
