Story

Far Cry 3 returns the series to a tropical island setting, in contrast with the African-inspired setting of the previous game. The game takes place on a tropical island found somewhere between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Continue Reading →

Gameplay

Far Cry 3 is a first-person shooter set in an open world. The game utilizes a mission structure for its main story, with plenty of side missions to do as well. The game is pretty standard shooter fare, although it has some light role-playing elements.

  • — Handbook

Continue Reading →

Skill Tattoos

As you complete various objectives in the game, you will earn XP. This will come from killing enemies, getting collectibles and other things. At the end of Harvest the Jungle, you are introduced to skills and will have to learn two of them on the spot. There are three separate skill trees, called The Heron, The Shark and The Spider. Each of these specialize in certain things, and some skills won't unlock until you have performed specific actions in the game.

  • — The Heron
  • — The Shark
  • — The Spider

Continue Reading →

Side Missions

There are plenty of side missions available to do in Far Cry 3. These range from special hunts (Path of the Hunter) to timed "races" (Supply Drop). Finishing these side missions will grant you XP, money and even trophies/achievements.

  • — Path of the Hunter Quests
  • — Supply Drop Quests
  • — Wanted Dead Quests
  • — Trial of the Rakyat Quests
  • — Misc. Quests

Continue Reading →

Activities

Besides optional missions, there are plenty of activities you can participate in which will earn you some money. These range from playing poker, to things such as shooting birds and knife throwing. Note that these don't count towards 100%, so these are completely optional (other than the one Poker achievement/trophy).

  • — Poker
  • — Island Racing League
  • — Knife Throwing
  • — Sharpshooter Challenge

Continue Reading →

Crafting

Jason Brody starts out only able to carry limited amounts of guns, syringes, ammunition and money. By killing and skinning animals, he can use their skins and pelts to craft larger pouches to carry more. Also, Jason can collect plants that he can use to craft new syringes. Each item will require a certain amount before you're able to craft them.

  • — Syringes
  • — Equipment

Continue Reading →

Animals

Far Cry 3 features a living, breathing world and that means you will be encountering plenty of wildlife. There are two kinds of wildlife that you will be running into, which are harmless ones and ones that will attack you on sight. After you activate a Radio Tower, you will be able to see animal icons on your map. These are general locations for that particular animal, so if you're looking for one, you might need to widen your search a little bit. Also, note that only animals that you can skin are marked on your map, as there are other wildlife that can appear.

  • — Rare Animals

Continue Reading →

Weapons

One of the biggest draws of any First Person Shooter is the weapons that players will be able to use. Far Cry 3 features plenty of weapons, some of which will be recognizable to players of other games, although they may have different names in this one. Each weapon has a variety of attachments and paint jobs that can be applied. At first, you can buy weapons from the shop, but as you activate Radio Towers, these weapons will eventually become free.

  • — Handguns
  • — Submachine Guns
  • — Shotguns
  • — Assault Rifles
  • — Sniper Rifles
  • — Light Machine Guns
  • — Launchers
  • — Specials
  • — Explosives

Continue Reading →

Vehicles

This section contains pages for all of the vehicles that you can drive/control in the world of Far Cry 3. Most of the vehicles seem to control the same, although some of them are faster than the others. Note that all of the descriptions for the vehicles are taken straight from the in-game Handbook.

  • — Land Vehicles
  • — Water Vehicles
  • — Air Vehicles

Continue Reading →

Collectibles

On the following pages, you will find the locations of the various collectibles in the game.

  • — Outposts
  • — Radio Towers
  • — Relics
  • — Memory Cards
  • — Letters of the Lost

Continue Reading →

Shop

The Shop is where you can buy weapons, items and even maps that show you where items/collectibles are on your map. You first gain access to the shop during Down In Amanaki Town, where you buy your first weapon, the 1911 handgun. As you progress through the story and do various other things, like free outposts and acquire collectibles, more items will become unlocked at the shop. Note that as you activate Radio Towers, the costs of weapons will be removed and offered for free.

Continue Reading →

Multiplayer

The multiplayer in Far Cry 3 is all team based, meaning there are not any modes that have the player on their own. As you play matches online, you will earn experience and eventually level up. As you level up, you unlock more weapons and other things to use in multiplayer.

  • — Maps
  • — Modes

Continue Reading →

Map Editor

The Map Editor allows you to create your own map for use in multiplayer. When you first access the Map Editor, you have the options to create a new map, create a new empty map, generate a map, look at maps you created, or exit the editor. When you go into a map, you have plenty of options in which to create whatever you want.

In the mission 'The Forgotten Experiment,' which is included in the Lost Expeditions DLC, Jason Brody must collect all of the research notes. Once he does, the text will reveal the following message: Masahiro, I question these so-called scientists. They speak of Pieces of Eden and Edison's electrical experiments into "genetic memory." I do not trust them, and I have locked lab access. To access or exit the secured room use this code: 122112. Please exercise caution around these foreign devils.
