Open conflicts rarely happen inShadow of the Tomb Raider.
Ranged weaponsare the most useful here.
Namely a bow, a pistol, a rifle and a shotgun.
you could get new weapons through exploration, by completing quests or you could buy them from merchants.
Traders offer the best gear but a new weapon can cost you even several thousands of gold.
All weapons can be upgraded.
you’re able to do that in campsites and you gotta spend crafting materials.
venture to always focus on those upgrades that are the most useful to you.
Look for interactive objects before you jump in a firefight.Various exploding containers can kill a few enemies.
This is very helpful when enemies are away from you and/or hide behind covers.
Throwable items are also helpful.Lara can craft Molotov cocktails, smoke bombs and grenades.
Depending on an item you might set enemies on fire, weaken or blind them for a brief moment.
after you snag started fighting, you should always strive for Lara tomove a lot on the battlefield.
Hard and very hard both have this option locked.
Avoid confrontations that can lead to your sudden death.
Setting trapsis a good way of eliminating enemies.
This requiresViper’s Snareability (2 skill points).
you’re able to place them on dead bodies (the trap will start glowing red).
The trap explodes when they start examining a body.
These traps are also useful while you are sneaking although an explosion will always alarm the enemies nearby.
have a go at always stay away from them.
Besides savages and members of Trinity, Lara will also facewild animals.
Some fights with the predators (i.e.
with jaguars) are scripted but others can happen when you are exploring optional locations.
Regardless of circumstances,you have to learn how to dodgeto avoid receiving damage.
This makes killing animals with a single arrow a lot easier.
You may also have to complete aQTE sequence- this happens when an animal gets closer to Lara.
Usually, you will have to press the right but in the right moment.
take a stab at complete these sequences - a failure can lead to serious damage or even death.
A successful QTE sequence can deal a lot of damage to your enemy.
