The Lab in Uncharted 3

The Lab is a competitive playlist in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception multiplayer. It is run by Naughty Dog. Like in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves multiplayer, the Lab features experimental gametypes and Deathmatch variants.

Added in Patch 1.11, the Lab's in-game description is "A series of unique gametypes that focus on fun." Since Lab Map 2, the Lab is updated on a weekly basis.

Trivia[]

  • The first lab, "T-bolt Sniper and Pistole Deathmatch", was originally going to feature the Mag-5 instead of the Pistole.
  • The third Lab had the same loadout as the first.
  • The last five labs are replays of 5 of the original lab block mesh maps however this could just be a calendar mix up, for now its is just assumed to be replays.
  • The infamous t-bolt/pistole lab has returned however this time the guns have less ammo.
  • There are so far a total of 20 lab block mesh maps.
