Tomb Raider 2 Useful Weapon Glitch

This useful bug allows you to shoot powerful ammo, like the shotgun, grenades or rockets (TR3 only), at the rapid fire rate of the harpoon gun. As far as I know, it works in all versions of Tomb Raider 2 and 3.

All credit goes to Noah S., who shared this with me almost a year ago. Sorry it took me so long to post.

In case it's not clear in the video, here's what you need to do:

(1) Light a flare and drop it underwater.
(2) Equip the harpoon gun and then put it away.
(3) Attempt to pick up the flare at the *exact* same time as you draw the harpoon gun.
(4) If your timing is good, the game gets confused and glitches out, and you end up holding the flare in one hand and the harpoon gun in the other.
(5) Without putting the harpoon gun away or dropping the flare, climb out of the water, open your inventory and equip the weapon with the ammo you want to use (shotgun, grenade launcher, etc.). Then you will be able to fire that ammo as fast as you'd normally shoot harpoons. No more waiting to reload after every shot.

Here we see Lara using the glitch before fighting the dragon at the end of TR2, but it should work anywhere in Tomb Raider 2 or 3, as long as you have flares, the harpoon gun with at least 1 harpoon, and another weapon (shotgun, grenade launcher, rocket launcher, etc.) with the ammo you want to use.

(In case you missed the other TR3 glitch involving the rapid-fire rocket launcher, you can find that in my channel as well.)

I remember when I first discovered this glitch by accident. I was playing Wreck of the Maria Doria, and I drew the Harpoon Gun right when I was picking up the first set of harpoons in the level.
