  • Skill Mastering:

One of the new additions to the Tomb Raider gameplay formula is the inclusion of a vast skill set including 24 different skills, ranging from surviving to hunting and brawling. They can be unlocked by earning experience and all of them come with their own benefits so there’s no risk of wasting experience points on something useless. However some may be more useful than other in certain situations so mastering some of these first will prove to be beneficial.

The first skill upgrade should be Survivalist since it actually increases earned experience when searching animal corpses and food caches. Add this skill to Advanced Salvaging and Bone Collector to increase the items collected. The faster exp earning will allow you to master more skills in less amount of time.

Everything else is pretty much up to you: by using this simple tip you will be able to master a lot of skills in not too much time so no need to tell you which is better than which. Make sure you get your skills improved as soon as you gain enough experience.
