    Save game issue as new player

    Hi there

    OK, can i clairify something please as ive just started playing this game due to life commitments.

    I understand that its the case when you save manually (**** as it may be) you relocate to the nearest safehouse, i can live with that kind of, but can i ask, if the enviroment elements such as people you have killed, missions you have completed and flowers and plants you have harvested, no longer reappear. Im a searcher and completionist and i look around the environment and find everything, just want to make sure that is not a complete waste of time.

    Thanks

    the game should save your collectible items as well as your plants and crafting, and weapons when you save in a safe house as well as your campaign progress ..( missions you have completed )

    the only restrictions on saves is you can not save during a mission ..either hit escape and cancel the mission your in and go back to a safe house before leaving the game and select save and quit
    the next time you play you will have to start the mission again ........ until you complete it ....and any progress you made in that mission is lost

    or complete the mission and use fast travel to go back a safe house and save and quit , or in the case of taking over outposts you must finish off all the bad guys and take the outpost before you leave the area , other wise it will re populate,

    also until you have conquered any nearby fortress you have taken , your outposts will come under attack .. you do not have to defend them .. you wont lose them .. as failing to defend an outpost has no bad consequences.. other then you miss out on the chance to gain more experience points and of course more stuff to sell or pick the dead for ammo

    if you find some missions are too hard try doing the side missions, make sure you hunt and craft your upgrades , climb towers to unlock new weapons that will help you , and take over enemy outposts as you can , loot all the chests and dead you come across so you can have more to sell and have more in game cash to buy better weapons and upgrades

    one other tip always when you get low on cash remember you can hunt leopards , use a bow you get 2 skins for each one you kill once you unlock a skill .. this gives you a great way to keep throwing bait and raking up more skins to sell for cash

    if you leave an area and return to it later yes the plants do grow back and some area's will repopulate with animals and Red Army troops

    loot chests do not re-spawn once you loot them

    hope that helps ..

    yea that leopard farming trick is great for when ya need cash for guns , if ya fly a lil bit from the second out post with the copter to where they are on the game map
    you can sit and keep chucking bait and they keep spawning over and over , chuck bait ....kill .... skin get bait and arrows back ..... repeat

    think i killed like 32 one time there ..once ya have the clean kill skill and use a bow they drop with 2 arrows = its 64 skins you get 8000 rupees per skin you sell = 512,000 rupees
    to buy better guns with

    and as long as you aim right you just pick your arrows back up
    plus it boosts your Karma levels for clean kills on leopards

    Hey can i ask ask a question about the unlocked locations in the game as well.

    For instance Kyra Tea Factory is unlocked. Do these places ever get liberated like outposts do, as there are still guards hanging about the area.

    Those places like KTF/CoP/ monastery etc are places you will do a few missions there and don't worry about the red-pants - you will always see a few of them. Just knife 'em!
