Special- and Combined Moves

These moves can only be achieved by combining one or more inputs at the same time or stringing them together in rapid succession:

To make a running jump that will always work do the following: Walk up the the edge you want to jump off. Hop backwards. Run forwards. Press the Jump Button while running. Lara will then leap off at the last possible moment.
Press Walk, while pressing Action and up, when pulling up from a ledge.
Press walk, Jump and up to do a Swan Dive. Lara can swan-dive into water or on even surfaces.
Can be done since Tomb Raider 3. While sprinting, press the Jump Button to make a Dive Roll.
Can be done since Tomb Raider 4. While sprinting, press the Crouch Button to make the Dive Roll. Lara will end up crouching after the roll, making it easier to get into crawlspaces quickly.
Only in Tomb Raider 3. While sprinting, press the Crouch Button to come to a sliding halt from sprinting.
Since The Last Revelation. The Lasersight can be combined with the Revolver, Crossbow and Desert Eagle in the Inventory. Draw the combined weapon and press the Look Button to look through the lasersight. You can Zoom In by pressing the Crouch Button, while still holding Look. Zoom Out by pressing the Sprint Button while still holding Look.
