Far Cry 3

Overboard

By
Jarrod Garripoli

Under the Radar

As the mission begins, follow the path to the first marker, where you’ll find some buildings and enemies. Take them all out, then head to the next spot, which is a small village, clearing out all the pirates there, including a Heavy Gunner. Once they’re all dead, head to the raft and you’ll automatically get on it.

Ready, Aim, Shoot!

This next part is another competition with your fellow players, where you see who can kill the most pirates with a LMG, which has unlimited ammo. You’ll find the pirates on the shores on either side of you, so just keep shooting. The person with the most points at the end of this section is declared the winner, and is rewarded with extra XP.

Enemies will appear on both sides of the river, so keep an eye out for them. The LMG has infinite ammo, but takes a while to reload.

Taking the High Road

Take the path to the next area, where you’ll find a large shipwrecked boat. There are some enemies at the very top, as well as some on the ground, including a Heavy Gunner, so take them all out. For this next part, you have to start a generator to turn the crane, which will allow you to progress farther.

As soon as you start the generator, enemies will start coming into the area, trying to destroy it. They will either come in from the one side of the ship, coming through it, or the other side where you came from before. There is a stationary machine gun on the deck of the ship, and make sure you keep an eye on the generator’s health, repairing it when needed. Once enough time passes and you’ve killed the enemies, climb the boxes and use the ziplines to continue forward in the mission.

You’ll need to protect the generator (left) from the pirates that attack. The mounted machine gun (right) will definitely help with that.

Safer Waters

Go on the path, going through the building, killing any enemies along the way. Once you get back outside, clear the area of the rest of the enemies. Your objective in this area is to grab three rockets, bring them to the launcher, which will fire at the ship in the distance. The first rocket is right in front of the launcher, so pick it up and put it in the launcher.

The next two rockets are to the south and to the west. When you go to get these, enemies will start appearing and coming to kill you, as well as try to hinder you as best as they can. Make sure to protect whoever is carrying the rockets, as they can’t use their weapons. Once the third rocket is placed, a cutscene will show the ship being blown to bits. Go to the cave to continue the mission.

Breaking and Entering

Continue through the cave, where you will have two sections where you’re required to swim, with a break in between with some enemies. When you get to the other end of the cave, exit and head into the village. You’ll encounter quite a few enemies in the village, so kill them all and start heading to the left. You’ll fight through more enemies, including a Heavy Gunner. Once you get to the gate, find and plant the explosive to blast it open.

Pay On Delivery

As soon as you blast open the gate, you’re likely to run into another Heavy Gunner, only this time he’s packing a flamethrower. Take him down, pass through the cave and you’ll be in the last village for this mission. Here, you’ll need to start the car winch in order to get the boat engine to the shore.

As soon as you start the winch, enemies will start coming from the left and right, so you’ll need to defend the engine. Eventually, the winch will stop and you’ll have to find something to refuel the car. Have one person grab it, and the other escort them to the car, which will start again. Once it reaches the shore, get rid of the rest of the pirates to finish the mission.
