The other, more advanced takedowns include Death From Above, Death From Below, and Cover Takedown. At the cost of only two skill points, Ajay can stealth kill an enemy soldier and hurl a throwing knife at a nearby enemy, effectively allowing him to stealth kill two enemies at once. One of the first, but also one of the coolest and most useful, takedowns you’ll get to learn is the Knife Throw takedown. Try to learn these once you’ve gotten your health issue under control (see: tip 1). If you look at the Tiger skill tree, you’ll find a good number of takedown skills available for your perusal. Having four weapons at your disposal early on in the game should also make the first few campaign missions much easier to tackle as well.Īfter spending a few hours in Far Cry 4, you’ll soon find that stealth is the key to success in most situations. The weapon holsters should be your first priority, in my opinion, as it’s always handy to have a good variety of weapons on you when you’re traveling in dangerous Kyrat. You’ll need to hunt down specific animals and use their skins for crafting larger holsters, wallets, and bags. This is where Far Cry 4‘s crafting system comes in. What good is finding all that treasure if you can’t take them with you? And to make matters worse, what good is selling all your buried treasure if your wallet isn’t even big enough to carry your Rupees? In addition to that, there’s a limit to how much money and loot you can carry around at the beginning of the game. This can be pretty detrimental to your survival in the game as you’ll usually require more than one gun to effectively adapt to various situations. Some other good skills to get along with Harvester are Capable Strength, which grants you an additional health slot, and Healing Syringe Level 2, which allows healing syringes to restore three slots of health.īelieve it or not, Far Cry 4 only allows you to carry one lousy weapon at the start of the game. The Harvester skill is a good and cheap method of ensuring that you have a steady supply of healing syringes for the duration of the game. This means that you’ll be able to get two green leaves from each green plant you find along the way and this will allow Ajay to automatically craft a healing syringe and put it in your inventory. This skill allows you to take twice as many leaves from each plant you harvest and it costs only one measly skill point. Under the Elephant skill tree, there is a skill called Harvester. Thankfully, there’s a pretty handy way to get around the health restoration problem in Far Cry 4. You only have two health bars, and healing syringes go for 10,000 Rupees a pop. Very early on in the game, you’re going to find yourself struggling with enemy soldiers and the vicious wildlife of Kyrat.
