Tomb Raider Gear – Survival Gear

Throughout the game Lara Croft will find a number of items vital to her survival. This focuses on the Gear itself.

Torch: Scavenger's Den
Found shortly after crashing into the Island inside the Scavenger's Den Lara can light this as long as she is near a Fire. Hold the Action Button to have her light and hold the Dodge Button to extinguish it. This can be used to light flammable material like cloth and netting.

Fire Striker: Base Exterior
This is a makeshift fire started found inside a building toward the end of the story chapter, “A Cry For Help”. Hold the Action button to draw the Torch and light it with the flint. As before, hold the Dodge Button to extinguish the Torch.

Lighter: Shantytown
Just after arriving in the Shantytown Lara should look for a helicopter. Inside it she will find the Lighter. This gives her another source of Fire and enables her to make Fire Arrows.

Pry Axe: Coastal Forest
Lara will find the Pry Axe when crossing through a tunnel that connects 2 sections of the Coastal Forest. This will allow Lara to pry open jammed doors and various wooden crates around the Island. If you see the Axe Icon appear on something, then it can be used to pry it open.

Upgrade Pry Axe: Strength (Cost 50)
This upgrade strengths the Pry Axe so it can now open metal crates. It also allows it to be used to operate a crank.

Climbing Axe: Mountain Village
By pressing the Action Button near craggy wall surfaces, this axe will allow Lara to scale them. Jump and press the Action Button again to scale the Walls swiftly. This will replace the Pry Axe when acquired. It is key to a few Skills and can become a deadly weapon.

Rope Ascender: Cliff side Bunker
Heavy or Reinforced objects can now be moved with the Rope Ascender. These are denoted by a Coil of Metal Wire. Fire a Rope Arrow at one of these and then hold the action button to move it. This can also be used to ascend a Rope bridge in much less time by holding the Action Button.
