Cheating has never been easier.
If you intend to level up quickly you can try to use one of these two glitches that we will explain in the following lines, with the hope that none of it will be patched from here shortly. By repeating the actions over and over again, you will easily gain experience, it will now be enough to understand which one you decide to pursue.
Rise of the Tomb Raider Infinite Experience
Method One
After reaching the Soviet base, precisely the second campfire, move north and you will find a house surrounded by a fence with a tank next to it. Climbing the fence, and turning Lara towards the roof of the log cabin, you will see two birds very close together. Be patient until one of them goes away and kill what is left with the arrows. As soon as it's dead, another bird will immediately reappear in the same position as the latter, and you can continue killing until you have reached the desired experience. Killing a bird only earns 10EXP, not a lot, but in a minute you can easily get to 360EXP. You use the arrows because you can jump from the tank to the roof and retrieve the ones you used and start again where you left off.
And if you want to make things more complicated, next to this bird there are two in flight: after being hit, they will reappear again, giving you the opportunity to gain another easy experience.
Method Two
The second method also concerns the Soviet Base, and also in this case it is required to repeat the actions over and over again, making fun of this exploit. We explain what it consists of:
Starting from the first camp, follow the road in front of you until you reach the tight ropes through which you first entered the base. Once used, you will receive 75 experience points because - it seems - you were able to access the base without attracting attention (stealth). This is normal, because after the first time you have killed or overcome all the enemies, there will be no more in that area, so you will not be able to attract the attention of a soul.
After earning the exp points, continue until you reach the nearest base camp (“Railway Depot”) and use the fast travel to the first camp, the one you started from, which is the “View on the base”. Repeat all the way and you'll get another 75EXP.
We also remind you that as soon as you hit the ground - after using the tight ropes - the room will have three to five mice inside. Killing them earns 10EXP for each of the rodents. At each run you can therefore obtain a total of experience that varies between 105 and 125. Much less than the previous method, of course: but if it no longer works, we might as well be satisfied.
Once the game is over, earning experience points will be really easy. Among the rare beasts and the various animals that can be hunted, there is a lot of easy experience. In fact, if both methods are correct, remember to equip the faithful bow and eliminate all the game in the area. Collect the arrows and travel quickly to another destination. Repeat as soon as possible. You can also accumulate up to 500-600EXP on each trip. Not bad.
