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.
