Tomb Raider 2013 Shantytown Combat (Chickens**t Strategy)

For those having trouble with the rough combat sequence at the beginning of Shantytown, I offer this alternative, based on a suggestion by the awesome, Ian T.
This takes a bit longer than the more aggressive method, and you do miss some salvage because the game just won't allow the bodies to pile up in the corner by the fence; however, you can make up for lost salvage if you want to. After using the base camp, reload the autosave and kill several enemies who appear. Loot their bodies. Then use the camp again to trigger another autosave. Reload and repeat. The small number of enemies will continue to respawn so you can collect salvage until you're ready to move on.
