New Tomb Raider trailer explains how to survive in the jungle

Crystal Dynamics has kicked off a new series of trailers for its upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, simply titled Tomb Raider. Episode 1 of the trailer series, called Guide to Survival, shows the start of the game's story and explains how Lara Croft is a smart and resourceful character.The big new feature of the game is the Base Camp, where Lara rests between missions. The base camp has many options, including fast travelling and levelling trees. The base camp also lets you upgrade weapons and skills, experience for which is earned by doing missions, exploring or fighting.One big example of the upgrade system is shown through the climbing axe, which is acquired early in the game. At first, it is used simply to open doors or crates. Later on, the climbing axe isn't strong enough to open some boxes, and that is when Lara has to find and salvage parts to upgrade the axe. Among all these utilities, the climbing axe also lets you zip along ziplines; it can also be used as a makeshift weapon in case of an emergency.Salvage is usually found all over the island, with some being harder to acquire than others. A lot of times, salvage piles are also booby trapped, which brings in a major risk-to-reward factor.Click here for full story
