While your average laptop has a reasonably good screen, a portable monitor can either give you a better alternative or act as an extra screen for you to work with. Of course, you could take a more traditional monitor with you, but then you’ll have to deal with stands and more complex power needs, so they aren’t an option if you’re constantly on the road. That’s what’s great about portable monitors; plus, there’s a ton of variety that you can pick from, whether it’s something small and basic like a 15.6-inch screen or a large 18-inch one that runs at 144op and is perfect for gaming. That’s why we’ve gone out and found a nice selection of portable monitors for you to check out; so that you can pick something that fits your needs without spending a ton of extra cash.
7 Best Weapon Upgrades For Ellie In TLOU2
18.01.2024 - 12:53 / screenrant.com / Emmy Holthe
When you play as Ellie in , you'll want to pick weapon upgrades that not only improve your chances of survival but transform Ellie into the vengeful warrior of the apocalypse we all want to play as. Ellie has access to six different weapons over the course of the game. While the Silenced Submarine Gun can't be upgraded, the others can be improved to make Ellie as badass as possible.
Ellie has five upgradable weapons; thepistol, therifle, the shotgun, the revolver, and the bow. Each fits well in different play styles, from stealthy approaches with the silent bow to violent brawls with the shotgun. Each weapon has a special upgrade that not only makes it easier to wield but improves the power fantasy of Ellie's mission.
The bow is a go-to weapon for players who prefer a stealthy approach against large enemy numbers in. Most of the time, when you're using the bow, you'll be sniping enemies from afar. Sometimes, however, you may feel inclined to use your bow in a high-stress situation. Improving the bow's draw speed will turn Ellie into a sharp-shooting old school warrior woman.
The draw speed upgrade costs 50 Parts to obtain. The upgrade gives +70% Drawing Speed and +50% Nocking Speed, allowing Ellie to fire more arrows per minute. Not only will this extra speed make Ellie look super cool, it will allow her to take out more targets without switching to another weapon.
The bow shows up during Ellie's second day in Seattle, during the Hillcrest level. This level shows Ellie exploring the titular district. As you explore some of the homes in the area, you'll eventually find a Stalker wandering inside. If you manage to defeat this enemy, you'll get a crisp wooden bow. The great thing about the bow is that you can craft arrows for it and keep it with you for the majority of the game.
The scope upgrade for the rifle is another key upgrade for stealth-oriented players. By spending 80 Parts on this upgrade, Ellie can scan the battlefield and fire at enemies from relative safety, giving her an advantage at the start of a long fight. Since the rifle has a slow rate of fire, it is better to use in long-range fights rather than up close and personal. As such, if you prefer to use the rifle over the bow for sniping enemies, the scope is a must-have upgrade.
The rifle is automatically added to Ellie's inventory near the start of the game, making it even more important to upgrade. This weapon will carry you through many of Ellie's fights.
The revolver packs a strong punch and gives Ellie a vengeful cowboy feel as she blasts her way through humans and zombies alike. If you want Ellie to feel like a true gunslinger (and give you a few extra seconds in a fight), upgrade the revolver's reload speed.
