The Cold War - Uzis and "Capitalist Accumulation" Achievement/Trophy

This sequence is also shown in a short video. It was made in the classic game, but if you're using tank controls, the moves are identical in the remaster.

In the last section, you killed 2 mercenaries (28-29) on the ledges near the ramp and closed wooden gate. If you look over the edge near where the white-suited man fell, you'll spot some goodies at the bottom of the deep pit.

This area is pitch-black in the classic game, so the pickups stand out more, but it's also more challenging to retrieve them.

You'll need to line up the next jump carefully. Hold Walk as you maneuver Lara into position. Move to the right side of the wooden ledge, turn so the pit is on Lara's left and she's facing the pointed snowbank. Then step forward toward the snowbank and left toward the pit as far you can.

Walk one step back from the snowbank.

Pivot just slightly to the left so Lara is facing out past the left edge of the snowbank.

Release Walk and hop back once to set up the next jump.

Make sure Lara has full health and save before continuing. Now take that running jump, and steer to the right while Lara is in the air...

...so she veers around the pointed snowbank...

...and lands on the slope just beyond it facing uphill. Hold Action as she slides back to grab the edge.

Let go, slide, and grab the edge of the second icy slope below.

Now traverse to the right into the V where the two adjacent slopes meet. This spot is slightly lower than the rest of the ice wall.

As long as you started with nearly full health, you can let go and drop into the pit...

...without dying.

Pick up Uzi ammo, a large medi pack, and the UZIS (60-62)!

If you found the other 3 hidden weapons earlier, the "Capitalist Accumulation" achievement/trophy will pop when you pick up the guns.

NOTE: While not technically a "Secret," the UZIS are very well hidden. If you miss them or can't manage this sequence, you will have another chance to get them in the next level. The classic guide includes alternate methods for descending into the pit.

Climb the ice ladder near where the UZIS were lying, and you'll emerge back in the SNOWMOBILE AREA.

The window you just ghosted through solidifies behind Lara, so you can't go back down the ladder. Turn left, go over the rise...

...and down the other side. Then turn left again to get back to the snowy ramp with the wooden gate at the top.
