Parts of downtown Vancouver were overrun by a massive military convoy over the weekend, but locals and visitors should not be alarmed.
The huge group of armoured vehicles were part of the latest shoot for The Last of Us. The hit HBO series starring Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and Nick Offerman is currently shooting its second season in Vancouver.
Photos shared on social media showed parts of Hastings, Burrard, and adjoining streets closed to make way for the elaborate post-apocalyptic scenes.

Photographer Mykayla (@mstakespictures) posted videos and images of camouflaged Hummers and armoured personnel carriers with an eye-catching “WLF” logo emblazoned on them.
In The Last of Us video game series, WLF stands for the Washington Liberation Front, a militant paramilitary group also known as the Wolves in The Last of Us Part II.

Some of the second season’s events are supposed to take place in Seattle, which Vancouver frequently transforms into on-screen.
Mykayla also posted images from a separate Last of Us film set filled with abandoned, dust-and-moss-covered vehicles.
The popular series has been busy around Metro Vancouver for the past few months, recently turning Chinatown into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
