Quick notes

Use pistols as the dependable baseline. The dual pistols have unlimited ammunition.
Match the medipack to missing health. The original manual describes a small medipack as a quarter-health restoration and a large one as full restoration.
Separate artifacts and relics from puzzle items. Artifacts and relics unlock extra content, while keys, machine parts and Scion pieces advance the route.
Use Save Rewards during replay. The replay option can retain newly found rewards without saving Lara’s current location.
