Skinning a wolf in Tomb Raider

A new mechanic introduced in Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider reboot.

Lara can skin animals after she has killed them in exchange for XP or Salvage.

This is similar to looting enemies in that players simply approach and tap a button to execute a quick skinning animation.

Lara's First Kill[edit]

The first time that Lara kills an animal, she will enter into a special extended animation played out in a cutscene.

Lara's first kill is a deer, which she must take down for food, and she skins it with an arrow.
