← All areas in this guide

After escaping the sewers, Joel, Ellie, Henry, and Sam arrive in an abandoned suburban neighborhood outside Pittsburgh. Players explore looted houses for supplies and interact with environmental set pieces before coming under fire from a sniper at the end of the street. Joel must flank through the backyards and residences to neutralize the sniper, then defend the group using the scoped rifle from waves of Hunters and Infected.
