Tomb Raider: Legend rewards and replay: bronze, silver, gold and pistol upgrades
Track Legend’s collectibles and preserve reward progress when revisiting completed levels.
Edition covered
The 2006 Legend campaign on PC and its main home-console versions. Steam images show the original PC presentation. Nintendo DS/GBA adaptations and PSP-exclusive extras are not included.
Use the PDA before searching again
The PDA records collected and available reward counts by level. Identify the missing category first; a single hidden gold reward calls for a different search than several scattered bronze items.
| Category | Typical search style | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Inspect ordinary side paths and containers | Collection and extra-content progress |
| Silver | Explore less obvious detours | Collection and extra-content progress |
| Gold | Solve the level’s hidden reward challenge | Special unlock progress |
| Time trial | Finish a replay within its target time | Separate completion and unlock track |
Understand the pistol-upgrade thresholds
The pistol upgrades track percentages of bronze and silver rewards together. The PDA shows progress, so increasing one category alone may leave the next threshold unmet.
| Reward progress | Upgrade | Check |
|---|---|---|
| 25% bronze and 25% silver | Larger magazine | Both categories must meet the threshold |
| 50% bronze and 50% silver | Improved accuracy | Check the PDA’s progress display |
| 75% bronze and 75% silver | Increased damage | Gold collection is a separate track |
| Replay reward saved | Collection total retained | Use Save Rewards before leaving |
Separate collection trips from time trials
A careful reward search benefits from checking side passages and movable objects. Time trials reward a rehearsed main route; collect first, then use that knowledge for the timed run.
Save the rewards from a replay
Use the replay’s Save Rewards option after collecting what you need. It preserves collectible progress without pretending to save an exact position in the level.
