Expeditions

In addition to the campaign, Rise of the Tomb Raider features four Extra Game Modes under the Expeditions heading:

  • Score Attack: Replay chapters with the intention of stringing together combos, finding collectibles, inventive kills, and various other methods.
  • Chapter Replay: Vanilla game mode that allows players to replay chapters, with the intention of gaining credits for meeting certain objectives.
  • Chapter Replay Elite: The ability to replay chapters with items and skills already unlocked by past progress.
  • Remnant Resistance: This mode allows the player to replay Hub Spaces with different goals. Additionally, the player can create custom missions (using Expedition Cards) and share them with the community.

In Rise of the Tomb Raider players are able to customize a number of Extra Game Modes with the use of Expedition Cards. Expedition Cards modify the nature of the game (Big Head Mode, extra damage, always on fire, etc.) and are bought in randomized packs using game credits or by purchasing them from the marketplace. The game also gifts the player card packs for achieving certain mission objectives. Expedition Cards can only be used for games modes within Expeditions.
