Climbing Axe

The Axe is a tool in the Tomb Raider Reboot. It is one of the more important gear items Lara finds throughout her adventure. It is found as Old Pry Tool in an underground bunker, next to an old radio emitting eerie music. Lara can use it to pry open two doors in this underground bunker, one which is just a shortcut and another which leads out of this area at the other end. After Lara is reunited with some of her fellow crewmates and setting out with Doctor Whitman, the two come across a large gate with an opening mechanism missing a handle. Lara finds that using her pry tool could work, if it were stronger. Her next task in the game will be to collect Salvage, found in crates scattered throughout the island, to upgrade her axe at the nearby Base Camp.

The axe can be used to slide down ropes and is rumoured to be usable as a melee weapon.
