Hope's Bastion Costume
Amazon pre-order bonus that includes a Wreckoner Battle Axe Skin. The Hope's Bastion costume gives Lara's bow shots a boost.
Sparrowhawk Costume
Best Buy pre-order bonus that includes the White Wood Recurve Bow Skin. The Sparrowhawk outfit gives a Lara's hunting ability a boost.
Apex Predator Costume
GameStop pre-order outfit that includes the Python Hand Cannon. The costumes bonus reduces damage done by animals.
Remnant Costume
The Remnant costume is a pre-order bonus from 'participating retailers' that enables Lara to bandage her wounds without using resources. It also comes with a Matte Ebony Magnum skin.
Easy "Bacon!" achievement
You can kill a razorback boar using a Molotov cocktail once you reach the Ruins Encampment base camp in Geothermal Valley. There is a crate of bottles of alcohol near the campfire that you can use to craft the Molotov cocktail. Then, jump down to the area next to the river and ruined log cabin to find a pack of razorback boars to use it on to get the achievement.
Easy "Bar Brawl" achievement
The "Deadly Force" skill is required. Stealth kill an enemy with a bottle in your hand.
Easy "Fearless" achievement
You actually only have to dodge counter a deathless swordsman.
Easy "For My Next Trick..." achievement
Go to the "Valley Farmstead" base camp at the "Geothermal Valley" area and find the well located there. Climb up the metal roof found nearby. Use the boxes to reach the roof. This may require some practice. Sprint to the edge of the roof and jump. Dive almost instantly after you jump or Lara will do a pencil dive instead.
Easy "Huntress" achievement
The Huntress outfit is obtained from an NPC in the Geothermal Valley region. Keep doing side missions until it becomes available.
Easy "No Guts, No Glory" achievement
Fast travel to Ridgeline Base Camp in Geothermal Valley, which can be accessed after progressing through most of the story to reach this area. The base camp is located at the top of a waterfall, and just off to the side you can see a wooden platform with a red mark on it that pokes out of the side of the cliff edge. Get a running start towards the platform, jump once you reach the end, and quickly perform a swan dive by pressing LT. If done with the correct timing, Lara will enter the swan dive downwards and you will get the "No Guts, No Glory" achievement upon hitting the water. If you fail, climb out of the water, ascend the hill, and try again.
Easy "Quick and Painless" achievement
Get the "Anatomical Knowledge" skill from the "Catacomb of Sacred Knowledge" tomb. It also helps to have the "True Shot" skill.
Easy "Quiet Time" achievement
Fast travel to the Ruins Encampment Base Camp in Geothermal Valley. From this base, run up the hill to see the dome shaped building near the top of the hill. You can access this area by going up the hill, entering the building next to it, and using the tree branch to swing across. Once you swing across into the tall domed building, hang off the ledge and shimmy to the right to find a wooden chair on a small piece of the roof. Pull yourself up, approach the chair, and press X to sit down to get the "Quiet Time" achievement.
Easy "Rotisserie" achievement
Grab a chicken, then select the bow. Lara will drop the chicken and it will fall on its head and will not run away. Just step back slightly, then shoot it with a fire arrow.
Easy "Spinning Leaf" achievement ("Cold Darkness Awakened" DLC)
Use the Big Head Mode and Big Head Enemies cards. If you only have the Big Head Mode card, which makes Lara's head big, it will add some amount of score bonus in Endurance mode because you will be easier to hit. However, the Infected here are melee-only, with an occasional suicide grenadier, so it will not be too difficult. Also, consider using the card that adds a 100% score bonus. It makes Infected only killable by headshots and finishers and will make sure that you get the correct kind of kill. You have approximately twelve seconds between each kill. Infected will spawn everywhere, especially if you make noise.
Easy "Trick Shot" achievement
You can shoot a bottle out of the air once you have reached the Ruins Encampment base camp in Geothermal Valley. There is a crate of bottles near the campfire that you can use to toss in the air and shoot.
Easy "Triple Threat" achievement
Shoot a shotgun at an explosive barrel that is next to a group of enemies.
Easy "Weaponsmith" achievement
Upgrade the climbing axe. It qualifies as a weapon.
You earn 500 XP when you fast travel between the two Flooded Archives camps, so doing so repeatedly is a terrific way to quickly earn the XP you need.
