3.7.5 Going bloopu with the UPU (TR3).
The Underwater Propulsion Unit is available during the Lud's
Gate level in TR3 - but isn't actually necessary to complete
it, which is a bit of a shame really. Being a completely
underwater device[1] the controls are a little different to
other vehicles. To grab hold press action when facing it (you
must be up close). To let go press roll. It has no reverse
and only one forward gear (press jump to move forward with it)
but it does have a neato harpoon gun built in; just press
action to use it.
Please note that the UPU's harpoon gun doesn't have Lara's
autolock aiming feature - you can only hit whatever's directly
in front of the machine. The upside is that there is no slow
reload time - you can blaze away without remorse (I just hope
you have a lot of harpoons). The UPU is just a little bit
faster than Lara's top swimming speed so I support its use.
[1] It is possible to actually fly up out of the water and defy
gravity with the UPU. Lara sort of hangs in the air behind it
though still in the water. She can then explore the airy parts
of the level while suspended in midair behind the UPU. Details
on how to achieve this amazing feat can be found on Theresa's
Tombraiders.com and Harvey's Stupid Lara Tricks page.
