With Rise of the Tomb Raider set to release on Xbox One next month, it’s easy to get excited about stepping into Lara’s boots once more. In their most recent entry in the three part Woman vs. Wild preview series, Crystal Dynamics took the chance to explain some of the new additions coming Lara’s way in her continuing fight to survive.

Titled “Guerilla Combat” the video breaks down the weapons, skills, and crafting system players will find at their disposal. “Lara is by no means a trained assassin,” the video says, “but she is more confident and experienced now.”

In Rise of the Tomb Raider you can sneak around, kill from the shadows, or simply go in guns blazing. To fit different play styles, the brawler skill tree is meant for those interested in up close and personal fights, while the hunter tree is meant for those more interested in taking out enemies at a distance. The video introduces more than a few brand new abilities as well, including double headshots and booby-trapping bodies.

How will you deal with the waves of enemies we’re bound to find in Rise of the Tomb Raider? Let us know in the comments. Rise of the Tomb Raider releases November 10th for Xbox One, Spring 2016 for PC, and Fall 2016 for PS4.
