Tomb Raider (2013) Multiplayer
The Multiplayer is a new feature in the reboot Tomb Raider (2013). Many different multiplayer game modes are available.
Unlike in many other games where Multiplayer is reduced to shooting and hiding, traversal will still play an important role in the Tomb Raider multiplayer, so will placing traps.
If a player (survivor) is mortally wounded in a game mode (only confirmed for Rescue at the moment), he is pinned to a location but can still shoot at targets within range, an enemy can finish him off for good, but he can possible also be rescued by a team mate.

Game Modes
Basically in all competitive modes the Endurance's survivors will fight against the scavengers (also known as Solarii [1]. Matches will consist of three rounds. Players will alternately play as scavengers or survivors. [2]
- Team Death Match
- Players fight in groups of four with one group being the Endurance's survivors and the other representing the scavengers. The first group to get 25 kills wins. [3]
- Rescue
- The survivors have to fulfil certain objectives (carry a medipack to a certain spot: "Retrieve and and capture the medical supplies") while the scavengers try to stop them by killing them. The survivors win if they bring back 5 medkits and the scavengers win when they score 20 kills. This mode is also 4 on 4, but can also be played with less players. [4]
- Cry for Help
- Emphasis on discovery and collection.
