You will come across plenty of characters called Survivors while playing the remake of the 2013 horror survival game, The Last of Us. One of the characters you would have spent a considerable amount of time within the beginning of the game is Bill. Bill has adapted to the world of the infected and has managed to set traps and convert structures into fortified safehouses for his well-being. In this guide, we will see what happened to Bill in The Last Of Us Part 1.
What Happened to Bill in The Last Of Us Part 1
Joel and Ellie’s first encounter in the game with Bill was while trying to escape the infected and running to his safehouse in Lincoln. Bill is said to own the entire town himself, even if it’s swarming with infected. At the end of the level, when Ellie and Joel decide to keep moving forward, Bill stays back in his town. Here we will see what happened to Bill after that in The Last of Us Part 1.

Bill is a survivor who helps Joel and Ellie acquire items to help them continue their mission. He helps them get a truck to escape, as well as hands over supplies like ammo and even taught Joel to craft a Nail Bomb. He is quite handy when it comes to mechanical contractions, having built many traps and barricades around the church, bar, and the streets. Since Bill stayed behind, it is unclear what happened to him, as he was just mentioned in passing many months later, and never seen again.
There are speculations that he didn’t make it, since he is a lone survivor in an area swarming with infected. There was also a risk of him not having a safehouse again after it was taken over by the infected. But other speculations suspect that he did make it and is surviving inside the fortified church. Bill is a cautious man, so he would never take risks if he knew the odds were stacked against him. Plus, with his handy contractions, he would most likely survive longer than expected. So far there is no other indication of his survival, so we can only hypothesize about the theories surrounding him.
That’s all there is to know about Bill in The Last of Us Part 1. If you like this guide you can check out our other guides as well.
