Instead players must rely on the natural resources available here to build shelters for your tribe, make medicine, craft weapons and tools and manufacture upgrades. No guns or technology are available in Far Cry Primal.
Like Takkar the enemies in Far Cry 4 will use the environment to their advantage, especially when light is limited to your fire. Want to survive, keep your club ignited and watch for enemy attacks carefully. Instead you’ll be actively hunted by deadly creatures hidden in the terrain. Don’t worry, it’s not like Dying Light were mutated zombies will chase you down.
If you think getting attacked during the day is bad, when the sun sets you'll pray for daylight. Choose quickly and commit, the smaller animals are forgiving but the larger beasts will ripe you apart. Once discovered these creatures will charge, at that moment you must decide either with an arrow to the head or use your club and swing. Equipped with powerful noses these creatures can smell you, regardless of cover, if you get too close. This is especially useful for direct assaults, if you find yourself overwhelmed go into hiding, pick enemies off to put the favor back on your side and restart the assault.Īnimals are different from humans from the way they attack. Enemies won’t immediately discover your location if you miss, instead break the enemy’s line of slight to regain your footing. Your bow can fire arrows without alerting other enemies, aim for the head and hit your target to clear enemy camps unnoticed. If spotted you can take cover in nearby plant growth. Even if you’re confident in your fighting abilities taking the stealth route early on in the adventure is ideal. In the beginning Takkar is limited to his club, spear and bow and arrow to defend himself. The map of Far Cry Primal, called Oros, is huge and filled with animals and raw materials to scavenge. Gather the right resources and you’ll become an unstoppable animal yourself. Instead of traditional weapons you’ll have access to deadly animals and the most expansive crafting system in a Far Cry game at your disposal. You won’t have machine guns, flight suits or any technological advantage to help you here. Practices and fighting were were very different in 10,000 B.C. Far Cry Primal comes out this week and it’s nothing like the other games in the franchise.
