Tools of the Trade
As you may already know, Far Cry 4 is a first person shooter. Like in most first person shooters the enemies you encounter will most likely have a firearm of some sort or some other death dealing gizmo at their disposal. This is something you need to keep in mind when fixing to invade one of the outposts. You need to have the means to take them out before they take you out.
For the path of least resistance you may want to include some stealthy options. A bow and arrow is a must have because it is almost always a one hit kill and is completely silent (if you don’t miss, that is). A silenced weapon is good to bring along as well. These are harder to come by early on in the game but if you have a Uplay account this can be quickly remedied.
If you’ve acquired enough points throughout any of your Ubisoft games you can purchase the A.J.M. 9 sidearm. If you have the points you can unlock this weapon from the very beginning of the game. Once purchased you can buy a sound suppressor for some easy, silent kills. If you can’t get it just yet, don’t worry. You’ll still be able to take over outposts like a pro.
Other items you may want to bring are throwing knives, molotov cocktails, and bait. These will all prove useful as you approach different enemy outposts. Take a little bit of time to get a feel for how each weapon works so that there are no surprises when you’re ready to head in.
