question surrounding its multiplayer; and Naughty Dog has finally pulled back the curtain on the game\u2019s online component.<\/p>\n<p>The multiplayer of The Last of Us is called \u201cFactions\u201d, and features two game types \u2013 Supply Raid and Survivors.<\/p>\n<p>Both game types feature up to four players per team and can be played across seven maps.<\/p>\n<p>The first game type, Supply Raid, requires teams to fight for supplies, while Survivors calls for players to eliminate one another in a last-man-standing style fight, with eliminated players sitting out until the end of the round.<\/p>\n<p>Players can craft and heal with supplies found in multiplayer matches.<\/p>\n<p>There are four load-outs available \u2013 assault, sniper, support and stealth &#8211; and characters are also customisable with different clothing and gestures, along with boosters and perks that can be unlocked.<\/p>\n<p>Check out some of the screenshots below:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
