Far Cry 4 tips & cheats

 Far Cry 4

Submitted by: David K.

Easy XP and money

Enter the "Shanath Training Ground" outpost from the east. Immediately when you enter the outpost,

you will see a heavy armored enemy patrolling the bridge. Kill the heavy armord enemy with C-4 to 

get 240 XP. Then, kill the two tigers below, and skin them as quickly as possible (the tiger skins

can be sold for 7,000 each). Once you are finished skinning the tigers, pause the game and save, 

then intentionally die. You will spawn around 320m away from the outpost with the XP you got from

the enemies and the skins you got from the tigers. Run back to the outpost, and repeat the process.

When you die again, you will respawn next to the outpost. Repeat this process until you can obtain 

the "Heavy Takedown" skill. Then, instead of killing the heavy armored enemy with C-4, sneak up on 

him, and kill him with the "Heavy Takedown" skill to get 400 XP per kill. Repeat this process as 

many times as desired. Note: You do not have to worry about getting more C-4, as you will get an 

extra C-4 after each death.

General Tips

* Just like Far Cry 3, one of the best activities in Far Cry 4 is capturing outposts.

  If you're trying to do so stealthily, don't worry if you fail. You can repeat any 

  outpost mission in the relevant camp. 

* When approaching outposts, release animals in the area if you can and let them do 

  the work before you pick off the rest of the enemies.

* If you want to get around Kryat quickly, using Microlight Choppers is your best bet.

  They provide direct transport from one area to a next, which is especially useful 

  for outposts.

* Tag enemies with your camera before you take on large groups.

* Bows are a great way to take out enemies stealthily.

* Upgrade your health to make life easier. Yes, you have syringes, but increased max

  health proves more useful than constant healing.

* Lots of games include hunting, but Far Cry 4 is one of the few in that emphasizes 

  its importance. You need animals skins to craft new items, so be sure to hunt some

  animals on your way through Kryat.

* If you played Far Cry 3 or any recent Ubisoft game, you know you want to uncover 

  the map as fast as possible. In Far Cry 4, this requires climbing radio towers to

  unlock new icons on the map. Make that a key priority when you first begin the game.

* Don't kill elephants. Instead, ride them when you complete the requisite quest to 

  unlock that skill. Even though they're slowing than vehicles, they're a lot of fun 

  to ride.

Infinite Karma and money

Travel to the Clouded Leopard marker on your map that is southwest from the Kyra Tea 

Factory location, and just across the river. This area can be accessed at the start of

the game. It is recommended to use the Recurve Bow, but you can use any bow or weapon.

However, you are rewarded with double skins for each kill when using a bow. Use this 

method to quickly earn enough money to upgrade to the Recurve Bow if you do not already

have it. Throw bait down from the hill, then shoot the Clouded Leopard in the head. 

Repeat this process until you are out of bait. Then, go down to skin the animals to 

refill your bait. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Clouded Leopard skins

sell for 16,000 rupees each. It is recommended to upgrade the bait bag first to make 

the process quicker. You can easily earn 500,000 rupees approximately every ten minutes.

You can also use this same method at any predator location (bears, bengal tigers, etc.) 

to quickly increase your Karma meter.

Infinite XP and money

Enter the "Shanath Training Ground" outpost from the east. Immediately when you enter

the outpost, you will see a heavy armored enemy patrolling the bridge. Kill the heavy

armord enemy with C4 to get 240 XP. Then, kill the two tigers below, and skin them as

quickly as possible (the tiger skins can be sold for 7,000 rupees each). Once you are

finished skinning the tigers, pause the game and save, then intentionally die. You 

will spawn around 320m away from the outpost with the XP you got from the enemies and

the skins you got from the tigers. Run back to the outpost, and repeat the process. 

When you die again, you will respawn next to the outpost. Repeat this process until 

you can obtain the "Heavy Takedown" skill. Then, instead of killing the heavy armored

enemy with C4, sneak up on him, and kill him with the "Heavy Takedown" skill to get 

400 XP per kill. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Note: You do not have

to worry about getting more C4, as you will get an extra C4 after each death.

Infinite XP

First, successfully complete the game, and unlock the "Death From Above" and "Heavy 

Takedown" skills in the Tiger path, to easily earn an infinite amount of XP in Pagan

Min's fortress located in northern Kyrat. Once the fortress is weakened, sneak through

the front doors by using the steps to the left of the main gate and taking down the 

heavy soldier. Cross the wooden bridge, kill the rooftop soldier, and use the Death 

From Above takedown on the remaining heavy soldier. Once they have all been defeated, 

pause the game, and select the "Save" option. Then, allow the remaining snipers and 

soldiers to kill you. Throw C4, grenades, or fire rockets at your feet to speed up 

the process. You will respawn right outside the fortress' front doors. Repeat this 

process as many times as desired to earn an unlimited amount of XP to unlock the 

remaining skills.

Infinite money

After completing the first quest in the Ghale Homestead and unlocking it, you can 

purchase a farm upgrade for a large amount of rupees. Buy it, then unlock the first 

level perk on the Elephant path to get double ingredients every time you harvest a 

plant. Once the garden appears, pick all the plants, then fast travel to an outpost

to sell the plants. Fast travel back to the homestead, and the garden will be fully

restocked with valuable plants. Repeat this process as many times as desired. During

the final mission, before entering the palace to confront Pagan Min, equip the rocket

launcher. You can find multiple rocket launchers during the final battle in the fortress.

When Ajay Ghale points his pistol at Pagan Min's head, do not shoot. You will then fly

in a helicopter to a burial site with Pagan Min, and Ajay will lay the ashes of his 

mother. After exiting the tomb, Pagan Min will escape in his helicopter. Once you are

back in control, quickly shoot down the helicopter with the rocket launcher. It will 

crash into the ground below. Travel down the mountain, and destroy the wooden doors 

with an explosive. You will find the crash site up the path, and Pagan Min's body 

nearby. Loot his body to get Pagan Min's Golden Pen (worth 300,000 rupees), Lapel Pin

#2 (worth 350,000 rupees), and 250,000 rupees. Then, fast travel to anywhere nearby, 

and return to his body to be able to loot him again. All items respawn after each 

fast travel. Repeat this process as many times as desired. 

You can easily get 1,800,000 rupees approximately every ten minutes. 

Note: This glitch was performed on an unpatched version of the game.

Easy advanced start

At the very start of the game, once you can free roam, first unlock all the radio towers 

and do not use any vehicles. Doing this will naturally get you everything you need to 

upgrade your items, earn more money, and obtain free weapons. Make sure to loot everyone

you kill and sell their items. Additionally, do side missions before doing the primary 

missions (for example, armed escorts, fashion week, etc.). The better head start you can

get on your character before doing the primary missions, the easier and more fun the game

will be.

Getting hides

When you have to get hides to upgrade your inventory, do not use any explosives. Doing that 

will damage the hide and will not count towards what you are wanting to get. It will result 

in just meat that you can sell. 

Easy head start

At the very start of the game, when you have free access to roam around, unlock all the 

radio towers first and do not use any vehicles. Doing this will naturally get you everything

you need to upgrade your items, earn more money, and obtain free weapons. Also, loot everyone 

you kill and sell their items.
