Lara Croft's journey from an unexperienced archaeologist to a hardened survivor is reflected through her physique, from the scars on her face and arms, to the increased muscle mass from her honed athletic abilities.

Equipped in performance gear designed to keep her cool and dry in one of Earth’s most hostile environments, Lara’s outfit reflects intense preparation. A fitted moisture-wicking tank top, pants with reinforced knees, fingerless tactical gloves, and waterproof boots aid her in becoming one with the jungle, overcoming terrifying tombs, and persevering through her darkest hour.

Smart and resourceful, Lara uses the environment to her advantage, crafting her own makeshift knife from airplane wreckage and upgrading weapons as she scavenges from Trinity takedowns.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Lara is one with the jungle. She uses what she can find in her surroundings to create and upgrade new weapons and equipment. For example, Lara builds her new makeshift knife from metal salvaged from the environment. From that rough metal piece, Lara is able to sharpen, solidify, and personalize that tool to make it her own.

Lara can also combine natural resources, such as hides, with mechanical parts to improve her firearms. By combining the barrel of a flare gun with her pistol, Lara can create a rudimentary dual barrel weapon that lets her shoot either blinding flares or regular bullets at enemies.

The bow is Lara’s primary weapon, one that she uses for both hunting and fighting Trinity. Lara will take greater care in the enhancement of her bow and quiver, focusing not only on the functional reinforcements and improvements, but also on adding ornaments, such as strings, and engravings.
