Hunter Upgrades

The Hunter Upgrades (often short Hunter) are one of the upgrade types in the Tomb Raider Reboot and in Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider (2013)

There are 8 different Hunter Upgrades. Like the Survivor Upgrades and Brawler Upgrades, these can be bought by spending Skill Points, which in turn are earned by collecting XP.

Early Concept

In the early demo versions of the game, showcased at community events and conventions, one of the upgrade types containing similarly named upgrades was called Combat Skills Upgrades.

There was also a single upgrade called Hunter, which was one of the Ingenuity Upgrades. It was one of the first upgrades that can be purchased, among Arrow Retrieval and Survivalist.

Make hunting easier.
