• Explosives & Throwables: Tactical/Area Denial
  Frag Grenades, Molotov Cocktails, C4 (remote detonation), Proximity Mines.

• Crafted Gear Upgrades (Capacity): Jason Brody does not equip traditional armor pieces for direct damage reduction. Instead, he crafts upgrades to his equipment using animal skins obtained from hunting. This includes: Weapon Holsters (to carry more weapons), Ammo Pouches (for specific ammo types), Wallet (to carry more money), Loot Rucksack, Syringe Kit, Grenade Pouch, Molotov Pouch, C4 Pouch, Mine Pouch, and Arrow Quiver. These upgrades are crucial for increasing combat readiness and carrying capacity.
• Body Armor (Consumable): Players can purchase Body Armor from shops or find it in the environment. This provides an additional, non-regenerating health bar (typically blue) that absorbs damage before Jason's actual health. It needs to be replenished after taking damage. It's a crucial consumable for survivability in tougher fights.

• Pilot Suit & Augmentations: Players can customize their out-of-mech pilot's appearance with different suits and cosmetic options. Pilot skills and cybernetic augmentations also provide gameplay benefits.
• Arsenal Aesthetics: The appearance of the Arsenal mech is highly customizable, with different paints, decals, and aesthetic accessories available to create a unique look.

• Default Outfit: Jason Brody wears a consistent outfit throughout most of the game (a t-shirt, cargo pants). His physical appearance, particularly the Tatau (tattoos) on his arm, evolves as he gains skills, visually representing his progression and transformation into a warrior. There are no significant clothing customization options for Jason in the main campaign.
• Multiplayer/Co-op Outfits: In the competitive multiplayer and cooperative campaign modes, players could customize their character's appearance with different outfits, headgear, and body paint, unlocked through progression or DLC packs.

Character enhancement revolves around acquiring superior equipment and unlocking new 'moves' or 'skills' through progression. Players pilot and customize modular 'Arsenal' mechs, salvaging parts from defeated enemies to upgrade every component. Out-of-mech pilot customization is also expanded with new skills and augmentations.

Jason Brody's progression is tied to the Tatau, a series of mystical tattoos that expand as he gains experience and unlocks skills. Skills are divided into three trees: The Heron (long-range combat, mobility, stealth), The Shark (assault tactics, takedowns, health), and The Spider (survival, crafting, hunting). Skill points are earned by gaining XP from missions, liberating outposts, hunting, and finding collectibles. Crafting is vital for upgrading gear capacity (weapon holsters, ammo pouches, loot rucksacks, syringe kits, etc.) using animal skins hunted from the islands' diverse wildlife. Syringes can also be crafted from plants to provide healing or temporary combat buffs.

The game shifts from instanced missions to a single, enormous, and seamless open world called the Blue Planet. The world features diverse biomes like shattered cities, frozen wastelands, and desolate fields, with dynamic weather systems that directly impact gameplay.

The Rook Islands consist of two main islands: the North Island and the South Island. The North Island, where the game primarily begins, is controlled by Vaas's pirates and is characterized by lush jungles, beaches, and pirate outposts. The South Island, unlocked later, is controlled by Hoyt Volker's private military company and features more rugged terrain, savannahs, and heavily fortified bases. The total map size is substantial, offering diverse environments for exploration and combat.

  A: Crafting is essential for progression. Players hunt animals to collect their skins, which are then used to craft upgrades for gear like weapon holsters (to carry more weapons), ammo pouches, wallets (to carry more money), syringe kits, and more. Plants are also gathered to craft syringes for healing or temporary combat buffs (e.g., enhanced senses, fire resistance).
• Q: What is the Tatau?
  A: The Tatau is a mystical set of tattoos that Jason Brody receives from the Rakyat tribe. As Jason gains experience and completes missions, new parts of the Tatau are inked onto his arm, visually representing his unlocked skills and his transformation into a warrior. Each segment of the tattoo corresponds to a skill in one of the three skill trees (Heron, Shark, Spider).

Powered by the Dunia Engine 2, Far Cry 3 was praised for its stunning visuals at the time of release, depicting lush tropical jungles, vibrant coral reefs, sandy beaches, and detailed character models. It featured advanced lighting, water effects, and dense foliage. DirectX 11 support on PC allowed for enhanced features like HDAO (High Definition Ambient Occlusion) and MSAA (Multisample Anti-Aliasing).

The original score by Brian Tyler features a mix of orchestral, electronic, and tribal elements, reflecting the game's tropical setting and Jason's psychological transformation. The licensed track 'Make It Bun Dem' by Skrillex & Damian Marley is famously used in the 'Kick the Hornet's Nest' mission. Sound design effectively captures the dense jungle atmosphere, wildlife sounds, and intense combat audio. Vaas Montenegro's voice acting by Michael Mando is iconic and widely praised.

Standard first-person HUD with a mini-map, health (regenerating segments), ammo count, and objective markers. The Tatau on Jason's arm visually represents his skill progression. A radial menu is used for weapon selection and syringe use. The world map allows for waypoint placement and tracking of discovered locations and collectibles.

Accessibility options were more limited compared to modern titles but included subtitle display, customizable controls (key remapping, sensitivity), and aim assist. The game's design, with clear objective markers and a mini-map, aided general playability.
