For instance, have an area where enemies are very resilient to all damage but fire damage, and certain attacks, so then the player has to figure out a weapon to upgrade to make the area easier to deal with.
Instead you are presented with a deep weapon and gear upgrade system that Lara will have to strategically employ to overcome increasingly difficult enemies and environments, all with a unique Survival Action twist.
The tricorder also opens up the upgrade menu, where your phaser can be upgraded (thus tempting you back to the canonical Starfleet weapon rather than alternate bangsticks) and other benefits such as sound suppression (for stealth) improved hacking, increased damage and healing can be added to your character.
