    Guns for Hires

    So we got Nick and Grace as Guns for Hires, but can they die? My guess is no.

    Problem with that is I really enjoy screwing around with the Guns for Hire in FC4. Whether it was placing them in front of a crocodile or a bear, even sending them into a fubar where they had no chance.

    I ask that there will be Guns for Hires that are just random civilians with a gun. So I can screw with them and then just call in another one as long as I have a token.

    In addition it'd be nice to be fighting along side some random NPC that maybe no one else has due to the fact he/she is not a special character like Nick and Grace.

    You can set fire to boomer, if he dies he will eventually re-spawn.
    If any of them are taken down they will respawn or become available again later.

    In Far Cry 2 buddies are gone for good. There is no notification or scene when that happens but it makes you sad, especially when it is one of them you liked. Sometimes it makes you feel you're a powerless being in an hostile environment

    It is possible for them to die, yes. It does depend on the situation. Just like enemies, they will go into a down state, allowing you for them to revive them, however sometimes they can instantly die but they will respawn over time.

    In fact, this isn't just limited to Guns for Hire.

    But the G/FFH cannot permanently die though right?
