Rise of the Tomb Raider, similar to Tomb Raider (2013) incorporates a levelling system into the gameplay. As players perform various actions in-game, they can earn and gather experience (XP) over time. Upon accumulating sufficient XP, Lara will earn herself a Skill Point.

In Rise of the Tomb Raider you’ll gain XP via the following:
- Completing campaign objectives.
- Completing side-missions.
- Killing enemies, either through combat or via stealth kills.
- Killing animals.
- An XP bonus is awarded for completing most combat encounters without being detected.
- With Skill Points invested in certain Skills, Lara will earn bonus XP for performing various actions. These include:
Levelling your characters means acquiring Skill Points and spending them. Spending Skill Points is important because the can offer a range of bonuses and improvements to Lara’s abilities, health and XP income which can drastically decrease the difficulty level of the game (which is a godsend on Survivor difficulty).
