Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter, which also features role-playing game elements including experience points, skill trees, and a crafting system. The player has the ability to take cover behind objects to break enemies lines of sight and also to peek around and over cover and blindfire. The player will also have the ability to perform silent "takedowns" by performing melee attacks from above, below, or close behind. The game's narrative director, Jason Vandenberghe, said that the story mode map will be around ten times larger than in the game's previous installments, indicating that it is still an open world sandbox game. Players will be given the ability to survey and plan out their attacks with stealth takedown combinations and also tag enemies with your camera in order to track their movement once they break the player's line of sight

The option confused me where I had the choice between SSAO, HBAO and HDAO in Far Cry 3. Hitting google didn't really give me any answers nor did enabling each option and comparing the results. Apparently I'm blind or something. First off, which…

How do I make a lot of money efficiently?

Far Cry 3 has a relatively expensive item economy, IMO, and money is a little hard to come by when you're at the early parts of the game. Compared to some of the other games I play, I find myself having to frequently grind killing people, and…

I can't find Boars!

Okay, so apart from the first mission where I had to kill 2 Boars near the area where the Komodo Dragons are found, I haven't found any more Boars thereafter. I've searched very very hard using even those hunter syringes but I can't find them. I can…

What affects stealth?

Obviously being out in the open, exposed, or making sound by running or sprinting will negatively affect stealth. But: How do enemies detect by light? Does being in shadow or nighttime matter? Does your flashlight affect stealth? The handbook…

What purpose does the 'Take Picture' function serve in the Far Cry 3 Camera?

The camera in Far Cry 3 is useful for tagging enemies from a distance but also includes the ability to take pictures. This does not seem to do anything useful when used on animals or enemies. Is there a purpose?

What makes up your "Tatau"?

I just noticed that retrieving Relics adds to your Tattoo or as called in the game "tatau", along with skills making your "tatau" more elaborate. I've always had a fascination with tattoos (having many tattoos myself) so it definitely is a part of…

Is there any point in skinning animals after I've made all the pouches?

I already have all the ammo pouches, rucksacks, etc. (well it says Owned All against each one in the menu). Is there any reason I should still skin animals? I could sell the skins, but that's a laborious process as they aren't linked to the quick…

How do you skip cut scenes?

I hate it when I die and have to see the whole cut scene over and over again. Is there any way to skip them, maybe a hack or a command line when we launch the game ?

Is there way to turn-off auto-tagging of enemies in Far Cry 3's minimap?

Right now, whenever an enemy fires at me or gets near me, they show up on the mini-map, as if they were tagged with the camera. With this effect on, not only do I always see exactly where they are, but also the direction they are facing: Even…

What am I missing out on by not clearing outposts in Far Cry 3?

The problem with open world sandbox games is that the more you win, the more boring the world gets. (I think I'm the only person in the world that really enjoyed Far Cry 2's respawning outposts). The first time I played InFamous, I did every side…

Is there a way to undraw the bow without firing it?

Sometimes I get a little twitchy and pull back an arrow I'm not really ready to fire. Is there a way to un-draw the bow without firing the arrow?

Far Cry 3 Items on map don't exist

I keep getting to map locations where the map indicates there are items but 60% of the items simply aren't there! I go to a relic location and there is no relic to find, for example. I go to a box location and find no box.
