Tomb Raider multiplayer details emerge

Many wondering just how the hell multiplayer would work in a Tomb Raider title, and now we have the first details from OXM. If you instantly thought of Naughty Dog’s multplayer for Uncharted, then you’re on the right track.

-Team Deathmatch is in.

“a team of Lara’s surviving allies pitted against a group of hostile natives cutely referred to as “scavengers.” Best-of-three matches, alternating between sides.

-Maps aren’t too wide open.

- Lever-based traps shoot spikes out of walls, plenty of climbable surfaces, several destructible environmental elements (like bridges), and weaponry like Lara’s now trademark bow and arrow.

- Second game type named “Rescue”.

“Survivors have to collect a certain amount of med-packs and deliver them to rotating destinations while scavengers must reach a certain kill count.
Rescue gives survivors a “bleed-out” time, that you can cut short with a “brutal” melee finisher. No talk if you can bring back people that are bleeding out.

- Karl “dropped hints about a mode called “Cry for Help,” which apparently will place a strong emphasis on discovery and collection.” Adventure as opposed to combat.

- Deep roster of characters to choose

- Different stats and loadouts
