Gear

Gear is a feature in Tomb Raider (2013). Salvage points can be spent on skills, which improve various aspects of Lara Croft's gear. Along with skills and its associated Skill Points, Gear form the upgrade system of the game.

Salvage
Each gear upgrade requires a certain amount of Salvage be spent on it. Salvage can be found in many different ways from collecting from a box or to using a piece of gear to retrieve some E.G using the "Torch" to burn down nets to release the crate, allowing Lara to loot it manually.

Parts
In addition to salvage, the player may find weapon parts for a particular weapon. With enough parts (2 for the Recurve Bow, 3 for others), the weapon will be upgraded to a more advanced model, and more upgrades will be unlocked. Previously purchased upgrades will carry over.
