Tomb Raider 2013 GOTY 100% Save File for PC
Tomb Raider (2013)
Save File Overview
Grabbing a tomb raider 2013 save file lets you drop straight into Yamatai with Lara Croft at full combat capacity. Main story campaign missions, side tombs, and optional island challenges are completely finished. Gear progression features fully upgraded survival equipment, maxed skill trees, and full weapon modifications for the bow, handgun, shotgun, and rifle. Collectibles—including documents, relics, GPS caches, and treasure maps—sit at 100% collection across all coastal and mountain zones. Use this clear completed save slot to revisit cleared sectors in post-game free roam, test maxed weapon loadouts against fast-travel locations, or inspect every island log without hunting down hidden caches.

File Size: Approx. 1–3 MB
Tomb Raider (2013) processes save data through user account subdirectories on PC. Steam builds store save files inside the `userdata` directory under App ID `20130`. Epic Games Store and GOG releases place `.dat` save files in your local `My Games` or `AppData` user directories. Save slots correspond to specific file numbers like `save1.dat`. Cloud save features in Steam or Epic Games Store automatically replace edited local files on boot if left active. Turning off storefront cloud synchronization before replacing local `.dat` files prevents unwanted file rollbacks. GOTY edition extra outfits and DLC challenge tombs function smoothly alongside vanilla completed saves.
Save Location Guide & Directory Path
Steam: `<SteamFolder>\userdata\<YourSteamID>\20130\remote\`
Epic Games Store / GOG: `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Tomb Raider\<YourID>\`If playing on Steam, open File Explorer and navigate to `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<YourSteamID>\20130\remote\`. If playing on GOG or Epic, navigate to `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Tomb Raider\`. Open your numeric user account ID subfolder. In this directory, you will find active save files named `save1.dat`, `save2.dat`, or `save3.dat`. Exit Tomb Raider completely and shut down your launcher client from the Windows system tray before moving data. Verify that active `.dat` files exist inside this folder before pasting replacement save data.
Step-by-Step Installation Instructions
Backup & Safety Notes
Copy your active user account subfolder to your desktop before modifying any files. If a downloaded save fails to register or displays empty slots, restore your desktop backup folder. Launcher cloud sync automatically overwrites manual transfers if left active, so disable cloud save options in launcher properties prior to replacing data. Single-player save replacements carry zero anti-cheat ban risk and operate without issues alongside visual mods or reshades.
