Far Cry Primal is about to become a lot more ruthless. A brutal new way to play, Survivor Mode, will arrive as a free patch on April 12. Included with this update will also be a high stakes permadeath option. Enabling permadeath means your game is over the first time you die.
Permadeath is only the beginning. Survivor mode adds a stamina gauge, the minimap is now turned off by default, and the fog of war has been strengthened. Even fast travel is a little tougher, as it now consumes stamina and food.
To top it all off, taming beasts is becoming much more difficult. Some animals will need to be brought down to half-life before they can be baited and tamed. Make sure to take care of your pets since animals who die are gone for good. While you can always tame another leopard or wolf, creatures like the Bloodfang Sabretooth can't ever be brought back once lost.
If you go for the ultimate challenge – activating Survivor mode, playing on expert difficulty and activating permadeath – you have the hardest and most insane challenge possible for the game. There's a special reward at the moment you complete the game for anyone insane enough to complete this challenge. Survivor mode will be available as a free patch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on April 12th.

Can you survive?
Permadeath will be rough. If it seems too abrupt to lose your progress, however, there’s also a second-chance option that gives you one backup life. Backup lives will be replenished at certain completion points. We’ve created four new Ubisoft Club challenges (since new PlayStation Trophies or Xbox Live Achievements aren’t possible in a free update) and the hardest one to unlock will be completing the game in Survival Mode, Expert, and never losing a life while Permadeath is on.Originally Posted by HorTyS Go to original post
This will be ruthless.
Will there be any reveal or hint as to what sort of reward will be gained completing an expert/survivor/ permadeath playthrough? I would hate to go through the undoubtedly arduous task of beating that mode just to get a new weapon or animal skin or something lame. I mean it had better be like, a whole new weapon that really changes things up or something BIG ya know?
oh man yeah, that one will be one of the hardest parts for sure...Originally Posted by CZ-BackPa Go to original post
