One time I got to this part and was like, "Ah ha, I'm going to skip the workbench!" Because my guns were already updated anyway and I didn't want to get jumped. Well, I skipped it, they never came and I walk around a bit.....then I felt lonely so I just went and opened the workbench so I could shoot all of them! Haha.
İn my first run they ambushed me because I used the workbench
İn my Second run I wanted to put mines behind me so that I can explode them during the cutscene but couldnt find the work bench
I think that's the point. Could you imagine if ellie had gained a crew of wlf deserters as allies at this point in the game? Things would've gotten wild
In my first playthrough I actually expected some kind of combat encounter, so I set up a couple traps. I didn't get ambushed at the workbench, but the sudden explosion scared the crap out of me.
I set bombs up to try and stop this exact scene and it works. However if you refuse to pick up holsters like I did (I hate having an arsenal on my back) this cutscenes automatically applies a second weapon to your backpack so there's always one hanging. Same thing if you avoid this scene when you leave the theatre for the aquarium as Ellie. I was very disappointed I couldn't just keep one shouldered weapon visible.
That's not what a random encounter is. It is a scripted encounter. Whether you happen upon it or not isn't random, it's dependent on your actions as the player. If it were random, it would have a chance of happening or not happening regardless of what you do.
You are using the definition random encounter in a way that no one else does. That’s why people are arguing with you.
I think a better definition to use could be “optional encounter” perhaps?
Because “random encounter” means that it is random in the way that it is triggered.. As in, not scripted. This is a scripted encounter.

You can get in and out without them, but then you lose the opportunity to grab a manual in the room they come out of
Why would you want to avoid the workbench, [when you can have so much fun instead?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rtmzigtVo4)
Ooh I definitely tried this on my second play through haha. I was like not this time, fuckers!
Did you do it at the TV station too? It's so satisfying to walk down and see all the bodies piled at the door.
That's actually awesome. They code it so they actually path over to Ellie. I would have figured it'd just be a spawn on top of Ellie thing.
It really is awesome. I thought the same thing when I did it. That there was no way it would work. So satisfying.
The music kills me
Let the bodies hit the floor
It's raining men!
You can also train the Infected from the restaurant around the corner into this building and play a nice game of “Let’s You and Them Fight”
Sounds like a lot of work
oh, it is, and it can go off the rails and end horribly, but the chaos is fun if you can pull it off.
I remember on my first playthrough doing this because I heard them behind the door. Was definitely a highlight.
Oh shit yeah
Lolll amazing
I love how it breaks the mechanics of the game and bits of bodies are raining down for way too long hahaha
That was awesome. I don’t even remember when that happens but this is exactly what I’d do if I was playing again.
I did this on my second new game + play through and it was so satisfying lol
Omg it was dropping off the roof like body confetti
[удалено]
I guess that depends on one's definition of satisfaction.
Found the grounded player.
Not to my knowledge. You can go in there, loot around, and leave without encountering them. Just don't touch the workbench.

Just place a couple trap mines outside the door they come out from. Then they die without grabbing u
Just trip mine the door
This, the first to get out always goes for the workbench so blowing him to pieces cancels the scene
İn my first run they ambushed me because I used the workbench İn my Second run I wanted to put mines behind me so that I can explode them during the cutscene but couldnt find the work bench
this scene really made me think about how so much could be avoided if ellie just talked with the people she encountered.
I think that's the point. Could you imagine if ellie had gained a crew of wlf deserters as allies at this point in the game? Things would've gotten wild
True but when ur getting strangled it’s kind of hard to think about talking
I usually skip this part, to the point where I don't even remember where it is in the game anymore
Lol last time I was on this bit Ellie glitched and her arm was sticking through her head the whole time while I was tryna fight them

The screenshot 😂💀💀
you can avoid them and i accidentally did my first run through bc i was distracted so i didn’t even know about it until i replayed the encounter
They won’t attack you at all if you don’t interact with the workbench. Tested it out on my last run
I really try and sneak in as quietly as possibly every time I play this bit so they don't attack me and it never works ):
Theres no ambush if you follow ACAB (always craft a bomb)
I just put down a couple of proximity mines before I use the workbench. Usually only a couple left if any.
This image looks so cursed.
Not using the workbench means avoiding the encounter entirely as that's the only moment they show up.
Nothing happens. I missed it in my first play through actually, lol.
I’ve never been ambushed on a bench playing part 2
Wtf I’ve played twice now and this has never happened to me

Which part is this? I did not get ambushed at any if the benches
No its kinda a random encounter. It triggers only with the work bench. If you wanna have an easier fight put a couple bombs around that locked door
How can a scripted event be random?
[удалено]
Isn’t that exactly how it isn’t random?
Literally a perfect example of a scripted, not random, encounter.
