Retain weapons after Von Croy's apartment
First, enable the "Level skip/select" code.
| Unlockable: | How to Unlock: |
| Boran X | Start the Sanitarium level to get it. |
| Dart SS | Go to Renne's Pawn Shop. Enter in the code by the keypad guarding what is inside. You should already know the code (it is in your notebook). Grab the Dart SS. |
| Desert Ranger | Go back to the Serpent night club (the garage entrance). Push the yellow button, then retrieve the socket spanner. Pull the lever beside it. Then, barge into the door above the stairs. Get the Desert Ranger on the desk. |
| K2 Impactor | Do the same thing as done for the Dart SS, then grab it and run out or level skip. |
| M-V9 | After pulling the lever in the same area, go in the hole below the car. Use the socket spanner on the lever down here, then pull it to make one of the guards run out. Get rid of him and take his M-V9. |
| Mag Vega | Go back to Galleries Under Siege. Head up the stairs and get rid of the museum guard. Continue up until you find your first Agency soldier. Get rid of him and take his Mag Vega. You will not need to get ammunition in this level; you can just go to the Monstrum Crimescence and find some there. |
| Rigg 09 | Already available after Von Croy's Apartment. |
| Scorpion X | Complete the Monstrum Crimescence level and the reporter will hopefully give it to you. |
| V-Packer | Go the Tomb of Ancients. Complete the level until you get through the vent in the floor. Go straight then hang a right. Barge through the door. Reclaim the V-Packer and ammunition. |
| Vector R35 | Go to the Derelict Apartment Block. Play as done before. However, before you leave, grab the keys from the top level in the room (on floor and hanging just in case). Pull the switch and the get on the elevator. Go to the second floor. Jump the hole. Unlock the door. You will find it in the locker. You will not find the other Vector, since there is no other pistol. |
| Viper SMG | Already available after Von Croy's Apartment. |
| Hints, Tips & Tricks |
I found a useful glitch that can get you infinite life in any mission. This is what you do: First get a gun in your hands. Shoot all the bullets out of it and save the game. Now load that saved file and find another gun. Shoot all but 1 bullet out of it. Save the game next. Next: Die and save the game. Load the game file you just saved and it will say to you: Von Croy: Ahhhhh, Miss Croft, I seen you died while in the action of fire! For this, I will make it easier on you. I will give you infinite life for the rest of this mission. Now if you want it for another mission after that, keep doing those steps and Verner Von Croy will say that everytime.

While investigating Von Croix's apartment, Lara can glitch the game and get a shotgun where there shouldn't be one in that mission. Before leaving the stage Galleries Under Siege, equip the shotgun and clear the area.
When Lara appears under your control at Von Criox's apartment again, press UP (on the D-pad) and the shotgun should be available again.
At any part of the game where Lara can re-enter an area or room with items, you can force them to respawn with each re-visit.
Example:After leaving the pawnshop, Lara can enter the sewer and there'll be an object there. Pick up that item, head back into the pawn shop and you can repeat the process as many times as needed. 99 Health Kits, here we go!
Play any well-lit level, such as The Tomb Of The Ancients. Place Lara next to a well-lit wall or structure. Position her so that she faces the object. Move the camera in front of her with the Right Analog-stick. The camera should show Lara's face and her chest. if not, move Lara back or forth from the wall accordingly. You can see that Lara is wearing a white bra. Wiggle the Left Analog-stick slightly to the right or left (or just jump in the same location) and her chest will bounce.
Defeating KarelThis battle is easy. After the intermission sequence, Karel will start flying around the room. He will be firing energy balls, but they only do 10% damage. Karel cannot be harmed. Your goal is to destroy the sleeper. Grab Eckhardt's glove. It is lying in front of his body. Turn around and go over to the pillar behind you. There will be and switch. Press X to use the glove on it. This will cause two ladders to drop. Climb up either one to make it up to the first platform. Look for another ladder to go up to the first platform. You now have two options. Either go to the stone marking and try to jump, or climb up to the third platform and jump from the platform facing the sleeper. An intermission sequence will start that marks the end of the game.
Get gas masks earlyStand directly in front of the cabinet and press Triangle (Crouch). When the hand appears, press X (Action). If done correctly, Lara should reach through the door while crouched and grab a gas mask. This may also work in other places.
