Follow Lara Croft's second visit to the Soviet Installation in Rise of the Tomb Raider. This walkthrough covers finding gear, collectibles, and infiltrating the Research Base.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon regaining control, you are back in the Soviet Installation. A new Base Camp, 'Copper Mill Bridge', is nearby. Use it to apply upgrades and spend skill points.
  2. 2
    Head to the objective marker to loot Strongbox **[12/14 – Gear: Broad Head Climbing Arrows]**. Nearby, find a Document **[25/26]** on a crate, Magnesite Ore on a mine cart, and a Survival Cache **[18/21]** by the fence. Find an Archivist’s Map around the corner of the building to the right from the front of the truck.
  3. 3
    Return to the Base Camp and use your new Broadhead Arrows on the weak wood on the adjacent building's wall to climb to a ledge. Here, find Mural **[12/12 - Russian]**. Use the nearby zip lines to descend to an icy ledge.
  4. 4
    Use Broadhead Arrows on weak wall sections to create a passage. Climb the stairs, turn left, and cut down a Flag **[Capture the Flag 01/07]** with your Combat Knife. Continue to the Supply Shack and cut down another Flag **[Capture the Flag 02/07]**.
  5. 5
    Enter the Supply Shack and spend Byzantine Coins on items. It is recommended to purchase everything except the Shotgun and Assault Rifle.
  6. 6
    Return to the Base Camp. Use Broadhead Arrows on the weak wood on the wall beside it to climb to a ledge. Find Document **[26/26]** on a table. Drop down from a gap in the railing above the cliff to a small ledge below to find Survival Cache **[19/21]**.
  7. 7
    Climb back to the top of the cliff. Open the nearby Strongbox **[13/14 - Weapon Part: Heavy Pistol Part 04]**. Follow the path and look for a body in the snow holding an Explorer’s Satchel. Near this body, by a rock in the center of the pathway, find Survival Cache **[20/21]**.
