If you're playing on PC and find yourself in a tough spot with the wrong weapon, you can reload the 'Last Campsite Save' in order to change your loadout and try again. Here you can see the different types of BOW, HANDGUN, RIFLE, and SHOGTUN you've unlocked (if any), select the one from each type that you want to carry with you for now, and make upgrades using crafting ingredients you have found. In order to swap out one weapon for another of the same type, you must use a Base Camp to access the Weapons menu. To switch weapons while playing use the D-Pad or numbers 1-2-3-4 on the keyboard. Lara can equip one of each basic weapon type at a time. By the time you reach The Acropolis level you should have acquired each of the 4 basic weapon types- BOW, HANDGUN, RIFLE, and SHOTGUN-plus the COMBAT KNIFE and the CLIMBING AXE, which can be used as a melee weapon. You gradually find and unlock more weapons as you go. SELECTING AND CHANGING WEAPONS: Early in the game Lara has limited weaponry. Some are rewards for completing missions or reaching in-game milestones, and a few are purchased DLC. Some are acquired as you play through the game.
