Dual pistols?

[MatiasBaci]

I'm only past the first few hours of the game. I'm curious if there is there ANY form of dual wielding pistols AT ALL in the game. Even a QTE moment counts.

[OdanUrr]

30 hours in, close to the end, I've seen nothing of the sort.

[Josip Broz Tito]

The closest thing to that was the final frames of 2013 game.

[Sqrly]

No.

[ShortSnaxx]

Dual Pistols are too unrealistic.

I finished the game with 87% completion, there is no dual pistols and the bow still viewed as her "favorite/main weapon"

No and they won't add them.

True, but it wouldn't be the most unrealistic thing in the game. Pretty much everything in it is unrealistic. Otherwise it might not be as fun.

You can have the old Tomb Raider 1 & 2 Lara skin but no dual pistols?

Not cool Square Enix.

Double guns were taken out of the reboot, and IMO, they were a old school style of combat, with jump and auto-aim being the focus of the feature in the 1st place.

It's not like they would change anything about the combat mechanically as it is now. She currently holds her pistol with both hands, so adding a second one would not make her lose an empty hand.

the dev said no dual pistol in this game. sorry.

Ok, let me ask you this, have you tried doing the old series TR of jump n shoot mid air and manage to hit anything? I like to think they pulled the double guns and replaced them with the melee QTE's.

Oh boo hoo hoo there was auto-aim in the old ones. There's your first clue that combat was the secondary consideration, and that Tomb Raider was not a shooter.

I'd prefer the old acrobatic gunfights over QTEs. I hate QTEs. I hate button-mashing to do an action.
"Stab predator that's trying to eat you?"
"Why yes, please."
"Stab it again?"
"What..? You do realize that stabbing something trying to eat me means stab it until it stops trying to eat me, right? Is this somehow misinterpreted? Are you from a culture somewhere that enjoys being nibbled on by such predators? Kill the effing thing."
"Please press the button repeatedly to get the sense of really defending yourself from being eaten by a large predator."

"There's a crack in the wall which you can open with your climbing axe."
"Hits crack in wall with climbing axe once."
"Why are you not hitting it again until the job is done? Can you squeeze your head through that little bitty hole your first strike created? No, you can't. Hit it until there's a HOLE."

"There's a crank you can turn to operate a mechanism"
"Ok, insert axe."
"Do you want to turn the crank?"
"Effing obviously, I'm not just sticking this stick in the hole for gits and shiggles, am I? Do I get an achievement for sticking the stick in the crank? Does the mechanism operate simply by sticking the stick in the hole? No. If I click it, I expect the action to perform."

QTEs are not immersive. I simply do not get the sense of being in a dark, spooky-as-kcuf cavern while wiggling a stick. All QTEs and stick-wiggling episodes are good for is killing a controller faster. That's it.

What really annoys me is that blasting a jaguar with a shotgun doesn't stop its advance. I want to see this tested in real life. Yes, I know it's incredibly horrible to shoot a jaguar with a shotgun simply to disprove video game physics, but there are some things for which disbelief simply cannot and should not be suspended. Shooting any living creature, smaller than a rhino, anyway, with a shotgun within 10 feet will undeniably and inarguably cause it to re-think its life choices, and make it go away forever.

no no no no it has nothing to do with gameplay mechanics. these devs just want to cut all ties with that Lara and make the bow her signature weapon.

I’m so sick of people saying Dual Pistol are unrealistic in a game that is totally unrealistic in every way SMFH!! Everyone seem to say that they wouldn’t work, how the F would you know. they would be better than that stupid Bow, I’m sure if they were added to the game they could make them work awesomely however square wants to pretend classic Lara don’t exit I swear!

Using Dual Pistol is an option like the other weapons if you don’t like them you are no forced to use them like we are with the damn Bow.

when I play this Tomb raider I do not hate it I am disappointed in missed opportunities

this Lara reminds me of katniss everdeen from the hunger games more than she does Lara croft and that is an issue, she should be reminding me more of Lara croft with each game not katniss everdean


The Dual Pistol are her trade mark and you cannot erase that! The bow to me is a fail attempted IMO because Katniss everdean already has that on her iconic stature Lara has the Dual Pistol Period
