One incredibly skilled fan of Naughty Dog’sUncharted 4: A Thief’s Endmanages to beat the game on its Crushing difficulty while rarely using guns in the process.
Now thatUncharted 4: A Thief’s Endhas been out in the wild for about a couple of weeks, many fans of what is presumablythe last game in the seriesfrom Naughty Dog have been given ample time to play through to the action-adventure title’s conclusion. In doing so, a lot of these gamers have certainly gotten a solid grasp on the environment and map layouts ofUncharted 4, which will definitely benefit them in subsequent speed runs and outings on higher difficulties.
As it happens, oneUncharted 4player has not only gone on to beatUncharted 4on “Crushing”—that is, the title’s hardest setting—but the fan also completed the arduous achievement by only using guns when the game forced him to do so. In fact, going by the name BOYvsVIDEOGAME on YouTube, the player recently uploaded the feat in a lengthy video series, as it was no easy task.
As seen in the footage below, rather thanpotentially spoiling the fate of Nathan Drakeby showing the the last segment of the playthrough, we decided to queue up BOYvsVIDEOGAME’s nearly firearm-free run at the beginning for those who haven’t made it to the game’s final act yet. Nevertheless, if fans wish to see a fellow gamer put themselves through a seemingly impossible journey, they would do well to watch the YouTuber’s adventure in full.

Of course, while BOYvsVIDEOGAME’s accomplishment is indeed impressive, he’s obviously not the first to actually finishUncharted 4in its entirety. As a matter of fact, PlayStation Network user Zite75 recently shared the spoils that comes from attainingthe game’s Platinum Trophy, which prompts developers to share a special messagewith fans upon doing literally everything that can be checked off onUncharted 4’s PS4 Trophy List. Naturally, though, it’s debatable as to whether or not Zite75’s or BOYvsVIDEOGAME’s deed is more masterful.
In any event, withUncharted 4receiving a successful launch by havingits first week sales exceed 2.7 million copies sold, it’s indubitable that a lot of those fans will put themselves through similar self-limiting experiences to that of BOYvsVIDEOGAME’s, if only to try playing the game in a different manner. Once gamers beat the story on all of its difficulties and have had their fill ofUncharted 4’s multiplayer mode, it really just makes sense for fans to kill the time in one way or another while waiting forthe title’s forthcoming DLC.
