How to unlock the Build Em Up, Break Em Down achievement in The Last of Us Part I - Definitive Guide

Difficulty: Any

There are 5 different melee weapons that you'll need to acquire, upgrade, and use until they break.

Weapon: Pipe
Location: Bill's Town - The Woods
First upgraded weapon in the game and can be found on the root of the small building you need to lay the plank on to cross.

Weapon: 2x4
Location: Bill's Town - Graveyard
You can sneak pass some Clickers around the crypts in the graveyard. You'll eventually come to an area with a found and a few stone benches around. The 2x4 will be on one of the stone benches.

Weapon: Baseball Bat
Location: Bill's Town - Graveyard
Once you have dropped down into the yard with the pool from the treehouse, go right into the house then head left to the garage. You'll see a shelving unit with a baseball bat.

Weapon: Hatchet
Location: Tommy's Dam - Hydroelectric Dam
You'll continue through the dam with Tommy until you are invaded. You'll make your way back the way you came and come outside. The hatchet will be laying near a crate. Almost the exact location where you can pet Buckley on the way inside.

Weapon: Machete
Location: Tommy's Dam - Ranch House
You and Tommy will go on horseback to find Ellie and eventually come to a stop at a ranch house. You'll find Ellie upstairs. The house will be invaded and there will be two enemies on the top floor. One will be armed with a gun, and most likely the first one you'll see, and then the other will be hiding with a machete ready to charge you. Once you drop him, upgrade it and kill the other 3 guys downstairs.

There are gaps in between the weapons, so if you find yourself without the materials needed just hold onto them until you do find some. The first weapon should already be upgraded.

Hope this helps!

If you are missing the hatchet for your last one you get it after you get the recording from the doctor saying the fireflies are at Salt Lake City. You get attacked by some enemies and one of them is holding the hatchet upgrade it use it a few times and the trophie should unlocked

There are 5 types of weapons in the game: a wooden stick, a metal pipe, a bat, a machete and an axe. For the trophy, you need to improve each weapon using materials and then knock down this improvement by hitting enemies, there is no need to completely break the weapon

You need to make a metal pipe yourself and break it; a finished one from the Bill’s town location does not count.

There are five types of melee weapons in total:
  • timber
  • bat
  • lead pipe
  • machete
  • hatchet

The first three appear in almost all chapters, and the last two appear in the chapter at the hydroelectric power station, where the meeting with Tommy takes place.
If you didn’t manage to get the trophy during the passage, then you can get everything by selecting chapters, without wasting much time on it.

Apparently there is a bug in the game. I won the trophy almost as soon as I was given the opportunity to improve the weapon. In one battle, he reloaded several times and hit the same clicker with the same bat or pipe. At that time, apart from a board, a pipe and a bat, I had not yet found any weapons.

Select bladed weapons, there are 5 of them in the game - stick, pipe, bat, machete, axe. You improve each one through your inventory. It is necessary to inflict damage on the enemies so that only the improvement is removed, the stick, bat and pipe have one blow each, and the ax and machete have three blows each, respectively, for the last two weapons 3 enemies are needed to destroy the improvement

The trophy dropped in the Suburbs after a machete. The ax didn’t break; for some reason it wasn’t needed for the trophy.

Played on Realism. I saved the materials to open the doors; there was enough for the doors and by the end of the game I even had enough to improve one weapon - a machete, although the game had a hint for this and showed that I had 2/5 completed. Turn on trophy tracking - it will be visible, very convenient.
Almost ready to go through it again...
I loaded into an earlier save at the University and decided to knock out the remaining trophy, since the enemies there have both an ax and a stick. Everything has been successfully improved and broken.
The tooltip shows 4/5 .
You need to break it completely, otherwise he doesn’t think so.
To get the bit, I loaded into Bill's Town, because... I remember that I definitely came across a bat there, I started passing, picked up an already improved pipe from the roof and as soon as I struck the first blow on the enemy with it, the trophy fell out, so I didn’t even get to the bat, and I didn’t even break the pipe, why it counted is not clear, After all, for the first time I also picked it up and broke it.

The trophy can be obtained in a couple of minutes and there is no need to collect different types of weapons in chapters.
The easiest place: Bill's Town - Vault.
As soon as you leave the shelter (where Bill cuts off the head of the runner stuck in the window), there is a pipe to the right of the door around the corner. After a couple of meters you are attacked by several runners and clickers.
While the infected are running, modify the pipe, 1 hit, return to CT (you appear immediately at the beginning of the battle with a small margin of time of a few seconds for the next modification of the pipe).
Repeat 4 more times.

For some reason, I also received this trophy earlier in Pittsburgh when I broke my improved bat. That is, I didn’t even get to the machete and the ax
