The Brute Force Option

(LOU Part 6) Joel is a physical powerhouse of a man, capable of extreme amounts of 2A, self-defense violence at a moment's notice, but some of these more infected infected creatures are pretty dangerous. .. Longer infected? More exposed infected? ... The clickers.

No idea how a fungus can make someone physically stronger, but that's how it works, apparently, for these special infected creatures. Joel can manhandle the standard infected with relative ease, but he almost needs to have something in his hands or a gun to deal with the clickers.
