Hi
I'm a newbie on Far Cry games.
Therefor, I have a few basic questions.
1) Will I not have a money problem, if I buy all maps ??
or must I buy only a "specific map", that shows enough to progress ?
2) I've done some animal hunting and now I have many skins of the same animal.
I've upgraded some stuff already. Should I sell, the rest of the skins ?
3) Let's say, I need some specific skins again after a while, do animals RE-spawn after a while ?
Or will I have problems in the futur ? My inventory is very limited now.
4) I guess I can't buy a house or so ? So stock-up items, I wanna keep for the time beeing.
5) Witch skills should I first upgrade ???
Greetings & thx

I wouldn't say you'd have a money problem unless you make yourself skint buying all the maps, but money can quickly be built up by collecting loot of dead bodies/chests when you see them, doing missions etc, however I would suggest for now to spend your cash on decent weapons and other things that are more important than maps for now, I'd say once your character is more well established I'd then maybe think about buying some maps.

I would keep all skins you have because there is a good chance you may need them again for other crafting upgrades, aim to reach level 3/4 on all your crafting upgrades, whatever you have left over then sell this after you've got level 3/4 on each crafting item, you can only reach level 4/4 on crafting by doing Fashion week missions, also when buying & selling just use quick sell option, this will sell anything you don't need for cash but keeps anything you need for crafting.
3) Let's say, I need some specific skins again after a while, do animals RE-spawn after a while ?

Yes Animals Spawn all the time, you shouldn't have any trouble finding animals for the skins required
4) I guess I can't buy a house or so ? So stock-up items, I wanna keep for the time beeing.
Don't want to spoil things but you'll get a you'll get the opportunity to upgrade a house during the game, Just keep what you need or might need like animal skins, sell everything you don't need, simple.
5) Witch skills should I first upgrade ???
Your kind of limited to what you can upgrade to start with but it's up to you, read what each unlockable skill does and prioritize what you'd want to upgrade first, I'd say to start with get some extra health.
Hope this helps a little
Kingcazza covered everything well, but I'd like to add I've never bought a map in any of the Far Cry Games that offered them. The lion's share of what you need to know is made available by unlocking (liberating) the cell towers (FC3) or bell towers (FC4). The rest of it (for me anyway) is discovered by wandering the landscape and witnessing the huge amount of effort put in by the map designers.
Having said that I realize there are many ways to play, some want to beat the game in as little time as possible, I want to make it last as long as possible! So, many times, instead of fast travel or even taking a vehicle, I'll walk or run to further enjoy the environment AND give me more encounters with animals, freindlies, and enemies. This of course makes it easy to stumble across items and features I might otherwise have had to pay for via map purchase.
And two tips:
1). regarding the animal indicators on the map, never once have I seen the Bharal in the area indicated on the map, all I've seen in that area is the much more common deer/elk like Sambar.
2). if you hadn't found out yet, "clean" animal kills with the bow (and knife I believe) will allow you to get 2 skins from that animal.
Have fun!
When it comes to hunting one of the first upgrades I did was the rucksack or whatever it is he carries and my wallet as money was flying in and was starting to run out of room, the sooner you upgrade your rucksack the more animal skins & loot you can carry, more skins = more potentially quicker upgrades, more loot = more money.
I loot everything, all kills human and animals. I never had a problem with money. I buy everything too, maps, guns, bullets, and sell my skins if I don't need them. There are always lots of animals so now worry about finding more. Just keep going to the safehouse and sell you stuff in your loot bag.
Ditto. I don't use vehicles as a general rule or fast travel ever. As you say, it's the best way to experience the game and explore the environment... That is, on foot. Every night, I'll pick a region on the map to explore. I do buy maps so I can see if there's anything I've missed... Some locations are very difficult to get to and I'm not sure many would notice these locations without the icons on the map calling out. It can be challenging enough just figuring out how to get to some locations on the map.Originally Posted by Far_Cry2_Fan Go to original post![]()
