Pick up items in the environment and craft them into improvised weapons to make Lara even more dangerous.
Shrapnel Grenades
Modify Cans to make them into Shrapnel Grenades. Throw them into the middle of enemy groups to quickly stun and deal moderate damage against all of your targets. This is effective against almost all types of enemies.
Smoke Grenades
Glass Jars aren’t seen until a bit farther into the game. You learn how to craft them into Smoke Grenades. These work well if you prefer close quarters weaponry and want to sneak up on targets for melee attacks or Shotgun kills.
Molotov Cocktails
Bottles become Molotov Cocktails when they’re used by Lara. Molotovs spread fire over a small area, setting unarmored targets alight. This sometimes requires a few follow up attacks against the survivors, but they’ll be distracted and wounded by the fire and often prove to be easy prey.
