In The Last of Us pt. 1, there has been an ongoing apocalypse for the past 20 years ever since 2013, where humans have been infected by cordyceps and started dying out. In the last of us there are four stages of infection. Runner, Stalker, Clicker, and Bloater. It takes two days after contact via breathing in spores or being bitten to turn into an infected. Runners are humans who were infected for less than two weeks. They’re fast and hostile. Stalkers are humans who’ve been infected for over two weeks. They tend to hide and ambush humans, rarely making noise unless attacking, and are mainly found indoors. Clickers are humans who’ve been infected for a year. They’re completely blind but have great hearing, using clicking noises from their voice as echolocation. They are the only types of infected that use clicking noises. Their eyes are covered in hardened fungi, so they have to be headshotted twice most times to die. Bloaters are humans who have been infected for several years. Bloaters can throw sacks of mycotoxins, and are very large and bloated, the hardened fungi covering their bodies making them very hard to kill. Similar to Clickers, they are also blind.

In the Last of Us, there are multiple factions.

The Fireflies: Located in many areas, but base is a hospital at Salt Lake City, Utah. A faction that is fighting against FEDRA due to FEDRA’s oppressive nature over the quarantine zones. They hope to find a cure to the infection. The Fireflies also tend to raid and attack FEDRA quarantine zones, but that results in the innocents in said zones also getting harmed, so they aren’t really protagonists. Ran by Marlene.

FEDRA: Located almost everywhere in the US, no specific location. Name stands for “Federal Disaster Response Agency.” They are the main authority over the U.S, but they are ruthless and pragmatic, making the people in the quarantine zone dislike them despite having to depend on them for safety. The soldiers of FEDRA are also meant to make sure nobody ever leaves the quarantine zones, resulting in people often having to sneak out in secrecy if they wish to leave.

Jackson Community: Located in Jackson, Wyoming. A friendly self-sustaining faction of survivors, ran by Maria and her husband Tommy Miller, who was originally in the Fireflies, but had left after some time. They run a hydroelectric dam, providing power for the town. They often scout the place for infected and kill them to make the place safer, and aren’t hostile to strangers.

Ski Lodge Community: Located in a wintery area in Colorado, main base being a ski lodge. A struggling community ran by David. Lacks food sources, so sometimes they resort to cannibalism to survive. Also tend to victimize and abuse feminine survivors due to their lack of sexual relief.

Extra locations:

Bill’s Town: Referred to as Bill’s town because Bill is the only one living there. Located in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The town is heavily rigged with traps due to Bill’s paranoia.

Eastern Colorado University: A college located in Boulder, Colorado. It used to be used as a base by the fireflies, until an infected animal bit one of their scientists, leading to an evacuation. The area is now infested with infected.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: A city overtaken by survivors who often ambush and kill people who enter their town for their supplies. This is the city where Henry and Sam currently hide at.

Massachusetts State House: used to be a firefly base, however the fireflies there died to a FEDERA ambush.

Tommy’s Dam: The hydroelectric dam that keeps Jackson running with power. While relatively safe, sometimes raiders attack the place. This is where Tommy currently resides.

Quarantine Zones: Quarantine zones are found in many cities, ran by FEDRA. Quarantine Zones are cut off from the outside world in an attempt to protect the people living within them, however the people living there are forced to work whatever jobs they’re assigned, and they can’t leave. This causes people to leave via sneaking out past the guards of the Zone.
