The Base Camps (also Fast Travel Camps)[1] were a new feature in the Tomb Raider Reboot. They have made a reappearance in Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Base Camps allow Lara to rest during her adventure, to upgrade her Skills, Weapons and Gear, to fast-travel to other Base Camps throughout the various Tomb Raider- and Rise of the Tomb Raider Locations, and as a starting point for Challenges and other side Missions.

Features Available at Base Camps

Tomb Raider (2013)

There are numerous Base Camps on the mysterious island of Yamatai. They consist of a small camp-fire where Lara can sit down to warm up and rest. There are several other camps that do not allow fast travel; these are called Day Camps.

Campsites can be found all over the island and provide a number of uses to Lara during her travels. There are two kinds of campsites, Day Camps and Fast Travel Camps. Day Camps are signified by a campfire icon on the map while Fast Travel Camps are represented by a tent icon. Lara can use her Skill Points to purchase new Survival Skills as well as spend Salvage on upgrades to her Gear at both Day Camps and Fast Travel Camps. Fast Travel camps also allow Lara to quickly move between previously visited campsites allowing you to re-explore and collect new things in regions that have already been discovered.

List of Base Camps

Locations Without a Base Camp

There are no base camps at the following locations since they are either to small or no longer accessible after Lara went there for the first time. Some of these may have Day Camps that act as a place where Lara can upgrade her weaponry and tools, but can not fast travel from or to.

Pre-Release

Karl Stewart promised close to a hundred Base Camps in on of his interviews: [3] The final number of Base Camps accessible by fast travel are 16; additionally there are 26 (???) Day Camps, bringing the total number of camps to 42 (???).

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Base Camps are again a central game element in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Day Camps on the other hand have been dropped; all camps are fully functional and all options are available here - both upgrades as well as fast travel.

List of Base Camps

There are 15 Locations and 43 Base Camps in Rise of the Tomb Raider; seven of these Base Camps are located in Challenge Tombs. There is one additional Location and two more Base Camps in the Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch DLC, bringing the total up to 16 Locations and 45 Base Camps.

There are 43 Levels spread across Syria and Siberia, the table below shows where each level begins (but not necessarily where it ends). The Baba Yaga DLC is not divided into levels, as it is independent of the normal game's progress, but rather into separate missions, which are listed below instead of levels. Note that these missions do not necessarily start in the Wicked Vale but may start in the Soviet Installation.

Locations Without a Base Camp

There is only one location where Lara can not return to as the avalanche has probably destroyed the place: Mountain Peak.

Similarly the three Base Camps in Syria - Syrian Cliffs, Syrian Catacomb, Syrian Tomb - are only available for fast travel after the player has finished the game and chooses to continue afterwards in order to collect more goodies.
