General Tips
- Just like Far Cry 3, one of the best activities in Far Cry 4 is capturing outposts. If you're trying to do so stealthily, don't worry if you fail. You can repeat any outpost mission in the relevant camp.
- When approaching outposts, release animals in the area if you can and let them do the work before you pick off the rest of the enemies.
- If you want to get around Kryat quickly, using Microlight Choppers is your best bet. They provide direct transport from one area to a next, which is especially useful for outposts.
- Tag enemies with your camera before you take on large groups.
- Bows are a great way to take out enemies stealthily.
- Upgrade your health to make life easier. Yes, you have syringes, but increased max health proves more useful than constant healing.
- Lots of games include hunting, but Far Cry 4 is one of the few in that emphasizes its importance. You need animals skins to craft new items, so be sure to hunt some animals on your way through Kryat.
- If you played Far Cry 3 or any recent Ubisoft game, you know you want to uncover the map as fast as possible. In Far Cry 4, this requires climbing radio towers to unlock new icons on the map. Make that a key priority when you first begin the game.
- Don't kill elephants. Instead, ride them when you complete the requisite quest to unlock that skill. Even though they're slowing than vehicles, they're a lot of fun to ride.
