Crafting materials are supplies used for crafting that can be found throughout the environment in The Last of Us, Factions MP, The Last of Us: Left Behind, and The Last of Us Part II.
List of crafting materials[]
Alcohol[]
Alcohol includes bottles of 99% isopropyl alcohol or bottles of liquor such as whiskey. When combined with a rag, alcohol is used to craft a health kit or a Molotov cocktail. Pipe bombs are introduced in Part II along with unlockable incendiary shells.
Binding[]
Binding includes materials that are used to fasten two or more items together, such as duct tape or sports wrap. Binding combined with a blade will craft a shiv or will allow the player to upgrade a melee weapon including 2x4s, baseball bats, and pipes. In Factions MP, binding combined with alcohol and a rag will craft a Molotov cocktail. In Part II they are needed to craft arrows and explosive arrows, if unlocked.
Blade[]
Blades include small sharp objects such as half a pair of manual shears or a jar of what look like nails or tacks. A blade combined with binding will craft a shiv or will allow you to upgrade a melee weapon. In Factions MP, a blade combined with sugar and an explosive will craft a smoke bomb. In Part II they combine with binding to create arrows or with explosives to create hunting pistol ammo, if unlocked.
Canister[]
Introduced in The Last of Us Part II, canisters combined with an explosive can craft a trap mine or a stun bomb. (If upgraded it is a smoke bomb.) A canister combined with alcohol as well as explosives can craft pipe bombs and combined with a rag can craft a silencer, if unlocked.
Explosive[]
Explosives come in the form of a small pouch containing an explosive powder or as bags of fertilizer. Combining an explosive and sugar will craft a smoke bomb, an explosive and a blade will craft nail bombs. In The Last of Us Part II, a canister/explosive combo is a stun bomb, smoke bomb if upgraded, or a trap mine. Adding alcohol to this combination can craft pipe bombs. An explosive combined with a binding will craft explosive arrows, if unlocked. Also unlockable is the ability to craft incendiary shells and hunting pistol ammo. Combine an explosive with alcohol for the incendiary shells or with a blade for the hunting pistol ammo once unlocked.
Rag[]
Rags include cloth-like materials. When combined with alcohol, rags are used to craft a health kit or a Molotov cocktail. In Part II a canister combined with a canister will craft a silencer, if unlocked.
Sugar[]
Sugar includes small packets or shakers of sugar, and can be combined with an explosive to craft a smoke bomb. In Factions MP, sugar combined with an explosive and a blade will craft a nail bomb. Sugar is not a crafting material in Part II.

Trivia[]
- It was revealed in an E3 interview with Jacob Minkoff of Naughty Dog that alcohol can be used to heal Joel's wounds, adding a layer of strategy to the game.[1]
- Batteries were originally planned to be included in The Last of Us, as seen from the first gameplay demo from E3 2012, but were removed from the final version. They were to be used to recharge Joel's flashlight.[2]
- This is also true for canisters, however, they end up making an appearance in The Last of Us Part II.[2]
