COMBAT

COMBAT STRATEGIES

In combat, always remember these two key elements:
■ KEEP MOVING – Keeping Lara moving is the most important factor in combat; her continually changing position slows the enemy’s advance. A moving target is much harder to hit than a static one.
■ MANIPULATE THE ENVIRONMENT – Constantly check for objects in the environment that Lara can manipulate to her advantage. For example, she can thwart enemies by blocking paths, collapsing structures, detonating nearby explosives and releasing obstacles.

Left mouse button – Fire weapon.
G key (lock-on) and move mouse – Change target.

■ GRAPPLE – Hold the G key and press the Q key to use Lara’s grapple to pull enemies toward her and inflict some damage.

A staple of the rough-and-rugged adventurer, health packs allow Lara to treat her injuries in the field.

NOTE: Lara can carry a maximum of three health packs.

PERSONAL LIGHT SOURCE (PLS) – Ultra-bright LED portable light source. Kinetically charged, the PLS shines for a limited time before shutting off to recharge.

MAGNETIC GRAPPLE

Using her grapple, Lara can manipulate objects from a distance, climb or drop to different heights, and swing across large gaps. The grapple consists of a magnetic grapple head that can latch onto discrete, visually distinct surfaces, plus a lengthy wire and an automatic recoiler.

NOTE: The grapple can only be used on specific shiny metallic surfaces.

BINOCULARS/REMOTE ANALYSIS DEVICE (RAD)

The RAD, a pair of high-tech lenses in Lara’s inventory, perform the following functions:

REWARDS

Throughout Lara’s archeological adventure, various artifacts and relics become available for discovery and collection. Collecting rewards opens up bonus content and extra features such as outfits (which you can view in Croft Manor), pistol upgrades, concept art and much more. Make sure Lara scours the environment thoroughly. Each mission has a number of different types of collectables:

■ BRONZE REWARDS Informational content.
■ SILVER REWARDS Game content.

NOTE: The most valuable unlockables are only obtained by collecting a combination of all three reward types. When each level is complete, you will be notified about which type of reward(s) you have managed to unlock. Select EXTRAS from the Main Menu to view and select your rewards.

TIP: Select REPLAY LEVEL from the Main Menu to replay completed missions and pick up missed rewards.
