Choose the Right Side to Be on

Depending on what side you want to be, you need to choose wisely. You have choices of 2 factions and the good guys. Each side has its own demands and missions. You can choose the good side missions and be in the way of both factions or choose the faction sides and be in trouble with the good.

In Far Cry 2, players must navigate a war-torn African landscape as a mercenary caught between two warring factions. Choosing a side to align with can have major consequences, as each faction has their own set of missions and goals. The UFLL, or United Front for Liberation and Labour, is a group of rebels fighting against the oppressive government. The APR, or Alliance for Popular Resistance, is a group of soldiers trying to maintain control. Alternatively, players can choose to remain neutral and complete missions for both sides, but this can also lead to conflicts and betrayal. It's important to carefully consider the consequences of choosing a side in Far Cry 2.

Avoid Driving on Roads

Have you notice the enemy always finds you on the road or some sort of camp is set up to hassle you? Well, simple drive off road and stay away from road access. You can get to and from missions safe and less hassles.

***

In Far Cry 2, the roads can feel like traps, set with enemy checkpoints and ambushes. Venturing through the wild brush and tougher terrains might seem like a challenge, but it's a strategic way to keep the element of surprise on your side. Use the natural landscape to your advantage – skirt around hills, hide in the dense foliage, and traverse riverbanks. By doing so, you maintain stealth and avoid predictable encounters, making your journey to objectives not only safer but also more engaging. Remember, in the wilderness, you control the approach, so use it to outmaneuver the enemy.

Frequently asked questions

Find Those Diamonds

When it comes to finding diamonds in this game it takes a lot of searching and aggregation. Of course the diamonds are found in a brief case, but it’s hard to find out directly where it is on the map. You watch the green light flash more and more as you get closer, but its hard to find the direct place they are? Well, look up top of buildings and under the building. Throw a bomb or rocket at it to see if its hidden. This was an aggregating part of the game to me, but you can find them blowing stuff up.

***

You'll often hear a distinct beeping noise—that's your cue to start looking. Diamonds are a gamer's best friend in Far Cry 2 because they function as the primary currency for weapon purchases and upgrades. To maximize your diamond hunt, pay attention to your environment cues—sometimes you might even spot subtle clues like a glint or reflection. Don't be deterred by a challenging search; persistence pays. And remember, it's not just about destruction—certain diamonds require a keener approach, like solving a small puzzle or environmental challenge to access the case. Keep sharp, and you'll be rich in no time!

Multiplayer Online Tip

Use the heavy machine gun, because everyone else uses it too. You might come across a few snipers, but there mostly for the automatic. You get more kills and more experience for ranking.

Take the Walking Approach to Each Safe House or Camp

If you’re running low on medical supplies or medicine, you should take the walking approach. You don’t need to take damage and need to pick the enemy off, without them knowing where you’re at. Always choose an area that’s above the camp site. You get less chances of being shot and confusion on finding the people to kill.

Sniper Weapons or Rockets

The sniper is important in this game to take out as many enemies from a far away position and you take less damage. If you want to take the all out assault approach and want to take tons of enemies out at one time. Use the rocket launcher directly in the middle of the crowed. Then throw grenades to enemies running around it. This is a very good tactically strategy to finish some of the missions.

It might take a bit of time to get back to supply rooms for medicine and med kits, but its worth it. Ammo is also a needed item in this game and so are grenades. These items can help you complete missions easy and help you beat the game without hassle.

Far cry has many different approaches to defeating enemies or exploring the land. The game has a very large land mass with plenty of hide spots and things to do. This makes this game even more fun to play in my book. Do you need help with this game?
