TL;DR
- Accessibility settings like High Contrast Mode dramatically improve card visibility

While navigating the harrowing journey through The Last of Us Part II, players can discover numerous collectible items that enrich the game’s world-building, including the highly sought-after trading cards. These collectibles serve as nostalgic artifacts from the pre-pandemic era, offering glimpses into the world that existed before the Cordyceps outbreak. Unlike the comic books from the first game, these trading cards present unique visual challenges due to their small size and clever environmental integration.
Strategic use of the game’s accessibility features becomes crucial for efficient collection. The High Contrast Mode option significantly enhances visibility by creating stark visual differentiation between interactive objects and background elements. Meanwhile, Enhanced Listening Mode provides auditory assistance by generating distinct sound signatures for nearby collectibles, making it particularly valuable in visually cluttered environments where cards might otherwise blend into the scenery.
Our comprehensive guide system provides detailed assistance for various aspects of The Last of Us Part II gameplay. For broader strategic guidance, consult our Complete Guide to master all game mechanics and progression systems.
Successful trading card hunting requires adopting specific visual scanning techniques. Cards typically appear in locations that reflect thematic connections to nearby environmental storytelling elements. Common placement patterns include desks in abandoned offices, shelves in residential areas, and countertops in commercial establishments. Always check areas that would logically contain personal items or entertainment materials from the pre-outbreak era.
Many players make the critical mistake of rushing through environments without thorough investigation. The most frequently missed cards tend to be positioned in peripheral vision zones or partially obscured by environmental debris. Develop a systematic room scanning habit: start from one corner and methodically work your way around, paying special attention to elevated surfaces and concealed nooks.
Audio cues play a vital role in locating well-hidden cards. When Enhanced Listening Mode is activated, collectibles emit a subtle high-frequency ping that becomes more pronounced as you approach. Combine this with visual scanning for optimal detection rates. For weapon-specific strategies that complement collection efforts, explore our Weapons Unlock guide for tactical advantages.
Environmental conditions significantly impact card visibility. Rain-soaked Seattle streets and dimly lit interior spaces present the greatest challenges. In these conditions, rely more heavily on audio cues and consider adjusting your display settings for improved contrast if not using the built-in accessibility options.

The Seraphites chapter particularly challenges players with religious symbolism influencing card placement patterns.
For comprehensive character build strategies that enhance your collection efficiency, reference our detailed Class Guide for specialized approaches.
Seasoned collectors should implement time optimization strategies by focusing on high-probability locations first. Cards frequently cluster in areas with multiple interactive objects or significant narrative importance. Allocate approximately 15-20 minutes per major chapter section for thorough exploration, with additional time for complex multi-level environments like downtown Seattle.
Common oversight areas include: behind movable objects, underneath furniture, on high shelves requiring environmental interaction to access, and in areas that become inaccessible after narrative progression. Always revisit locations after major story events, as some areas may become available that were previously locked.
Advanced techniques include using environmental storytelling cues to predict card locations. Areas with extensive world-building details or emotional narrative weight often contain multiple collectibles. Develop an intuition for Naughty Dog’s placement philosophy – cards typically appear where they would logically exist in the pre-outbreak world, following realistic distribution patterns rather than random placement.
Pro collectors recommend playing through areas multiple times with different accessibility setting combinations to develop comprehensive mental maps of card locations. This multi-pass approach significantly improves collection rates compared to single-playthrough attempts.

This particular Seattle district represents an extensive open-world environment that encourages thorough exploration at your preferred pace. We’ve provided the most precise location descriptions possible. Consult your in-game navigation system whenever disorientation occurs!
Pro Collection Tips: Many players overlook the cable reuse mechanic for roof access—this represents one of the game’s more clever environmental puzzles. Additionally, the library’s children’s section often causes navigation confusion; use the giraffe as your primary orientation point rather than relying solely on mini-map indicators. For optimal efficiency, collect cards in sequence with your main story progression to minimize unnecessary backtracking.
Navigate through the flooded train yard section until reaching the area with multiple derailed train cars and submerged tracks. Proceed rightward through the initial carriage, then carefully squeeze between two adjacent train cars.

To the starboard side, identify a bicycle featuring the Naledi the Youthful Trading Card inserted within the rear wheel’s spoke assembly.
Efficient Route Planning
Maximize your collection efficiency by following a systematic path through each area. Begin with the flooded train yard, proceed to the Giants of the Earth exhibit, then systematically clear the urban exploration segments. This optimized route reduces backtracking by approximately 60% compared to random exploration.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Many players overlook the crawl space beneath overturned train cars or fail to properly inspect bicycle wheel spokes. Always conduct thorough environmental scans and remember that many cards require interacting with specific objects rather than simply being visible.
Optimization Tips
Combine your trading card hunt with other weapons unlock objectives to maximize session productivity. The Workbench location mentioned for Naledi’s card also serves as an ideal checkpoint for equipment modifications during your collection journey.
Battlefield 6 represents the next evolution in tactical military shooters, building upon the franchise’s legacy of large-scale combat and team-based warfare. The game introduces enhanced destruction physics, dynamic weather systems, and improved squad coordination mechanics that fundamentally change how engagements play out.
Unlike previous entries, BF6 emphasizes strategic positioning and resource management, requiring players to think several steps ahead. The revamped class system ensures each role has distinct advantages and responsibilities, creating a more balanced team dynamic where every player contributes meaningfully to the overall objective.
New players should focus on understanding the core gameplay loop: capturing objectives, maintaining supply lines, and adapting to changing battlefield conditions. Mastering these fundamentals will significantly improve your performance in both casual and competitive play.
The NATO faction in Battlefield 6 brings a balanced approach to combat with versatile weaponry and adaptable tactical options. Their equipment focuses on reliability and precision, making them excellent for players who value consistency over specialization.
When building your NATO squad, aim for a mix of assault, support, recon, and engineer classes to cover all combat scenarios. A well-balanced team typically consists of two assault specialists for frontline pressure, one support player for ammunition and suppression, one engineer for vehicle support and destruction, and one recon for intelligence gathering and long-range support.
Common mistakes include stacking too many players in one class type or neglecting support roles. Remember that a squad with proper role distribution will outperform individual skill in most situations, especially during extended Conquest matches.
Conquest mode in Battlefield 6 requires more than just capturing points randomly. Successful teams employ strategic map control by identifying and holding key objectives that provide spawn advantages and resource generation. Focus on maintaining control of objectives that offer strategic positioning and vehicle access.
Advanced players should prioritize objectives based on their tactical value rather than simply capturing everything available. Central flags often provide the greatest map control, while peripheral objectives can be used for flanking maneuvers and disrupting enemy supply lines.
Time management is crucial in Conquest matches. Allocate your resources based on the match timer and ticket count, becoming more aggressive when behind and more defensive when maintaining a lead. Proper ticket conservation can mean the difference between victory and defeat in close games.
The Pax Armata event introduces limited-time challenges with exclusive rewards and unique gameplay modifiers. These events typically run for one to two weeks and require specific objectives to be completed for progression.
To maximize your efficiency during Pax Armata events, focus on challenges that align with your natural playstyle while also considering the time investment required. Some challenges offer better reward-to-time ratios than others, allowing smart players to complete events more efficiently.
Optimization tips include completing multiple challenges simultaneously by adjusting your loadout and playstyle to overlap requirements. For example, using specific weapons that fulfill multiple challenge criteria can significantly reduce the overall time investment required.
Battlefield 6’s Assignments system provides structured progression paths with specific weapon unlocks, cosmetic items, and gameplay enhancements. These are categorized into daily, weekly, and permanent assignments with varying difficulty levels.
For weapon Assignments, focus on completing the requirements in modes that naturally facilitate the specific playstyle needed. Some weapons are better unlocked in Conquest due to the mode’s extended engagement times and objective variety.
Advanced players should prioritize Assignments that provide tactical advantages first, such as weapon attachments that improve handling or optics that enhance target acquisition. Cosmetic items should be secondary considerations unless they provide camouflage advantages on specific maps.
