If all of the foes patrolling an area are killed stealthily then other waves that would normally appear do not. If Drake is undetected by his enemies, the player can attempt to use stealth to take them out, such as by sneaking up behind them to knock them out with one hit, or by pulling an unsuspecting foe over a ledge from which Drake is hanging. The player can also have Drake fire while moving. The player can direct Drake to take cover behind corners or low walls using either aimed or blind-fire to kill his enemies. Drake can pick up weapons, automatically replacing the existing weapon he was using, and additional ammunition from killed enemies. Drake can be equipped with up to two firearms – one single-handed and one two-handed – and a limited supply of grenades. Drake is physically adept and is able to jump, climb, and scale narrow ledges and wall-faces to get between points. Uncharted 2 is an action-adventure platform video game played from a third-person perspective, with the player in control of Nathan Drake.
