The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered adds a new fun and challenging rogue-like mode called No Return. It pits you into six different encounters spread across the many versatile levels of the game's campaign. 

One of the highlights of No Return is that it lets you play as several different characters, each with their own traits and playstyles. In this guide, we highlight all the playable characters in TLOU 2's No Return mode and how to unlock them.

If the runs become too challenging, you can unlock and use allies, just like in the game's campaign, to provide you with some aid. While some allies, like Dina and Lev, can appear randomly in your run, granted you are playing as characters associated with them, others need to be unlocked. Here are all the allies you can unlock in No Return. 

Ally How To Unlock
Tommy Kill 5 enemies in one encounter when zoomed in with a scope
Joel Complete an infected encounter as Joel
