  A wide array of conventional firearms. Can be customized with attachments like scopes (various types), suppressors, extended magazines, and paint jobs. Weapon progression involves unlocking them via purchase or completing missions.
• Bows & Crossbows: Silent Ranged
  Includes the Recurve Bow, Hunter Bow, and Auto-Crossbow. Essential for stealth. Can use regular, fire, and explosive arrows/bolts, which can be crafted.
• Launchers & Heavy Weapons: Explosive/Anti-Vehicle

• Signature Weapons: Unique Pre-Modded
  Special versions of existing weapons with enhanced stats (damage, accuracy, fire rate, etc.) and unique appearances. Unlocked by completing specific tasks, liberating outposts, or progressing the story (e.g., The Shredder SMG, The Buzzsaw LMG, The AMR sniper rifle).
• Melee Weapons: Close Quarters
  Primarily the Kukri knife for standard melee attacks and brutal takedowns. Other contextual melee options exist. Throwing knives are also available.
• Throwables & Explosives: Tactical/Area Denial
  Grenades, Molotov Cocktails, C4, Mines (Proximity & Remote), Bait (to attract predators towards enemies).

• Crafted Gear Upgrades (Capacity): While Ajay doesn't equip traditional 'armor' pieces for direct damage reduction that are visually represented, he crafts upgrades to his gear using animal skins. This includes: Weapon Holsters (carry more weapons), Ammo Pouches (carry more ammo for specific weapon types), Quivers (carry more arrows/bolts), Syringe Kits (carry more syringes), Bait Bags, Throwables Bags, Loot Bags, and Heavy Ammo Bags. These are essential for increasing survivability and combat effectiveness by allowing more resources to be carried.
• Body Armor (Consumable): Players can purchase or find Body Armor which provides an additional, non-regenerating health bar segment. This is consumed when damaged and needs to be replenished. It's a temporary defensive boost.
• Cosmetic Outfits (Limited): The game features some unlockable cosmetic outfits (e.g., via Uplay rewards or special editions), but these are purely visual and do not offer stat bonuses. Ajay's default appearance changes slightly based on story progression or choices in a minor way.

• Default Outfits: Ajay Ghale's primary outfit is fairly standard throughout the game, consisting of practical clothing suitable for the mountainous environment. There are very limited changes to his base appearance.
• Unlockable Cosmetic Outfits: A few cosmetic outfits could be unlocked via Ubisoft Club (formerly Uplay) rewards or were included in special editions (e.g., Hurk's outfit for the co-op player). These are purely visual and do not affect gameplay stats. Unlike later Far Cry games, extensive character customization through clothing is not a feature.

Players choose from a roster of Operators, each with unique skills and abilities based on their class. There is an 'insane' amount of weapon customization, allowing players to level up guns, unlock numerous attachments, and 'tune' them for specific stats. Player rank and a seasonal Battle Pass provide further progression and unlocks.

Ajay Ghale's abilities are upgraded through two skill trees: 'The Tiger' (offensive skills, focusing on assault tactics, weapon handling, and takedowns) and 'The Elephant' (defensive/utility skills, focusing on health, crafting syringes, survival, and stealth). Skill points are earned by gaining XP from completing missions, liberating outposts, hunting, and other activities. Crafting is essential for upgrading gear capacity (weapon holsters, ammo pouches, loot bags, syringe kits, etc.) using animal skins hunted from Kyrat's diverse wildlife. A Karma system rewards or punishes Ajay for his actions towards Golden Path members and civilians, unlocking perks and affecting interactions.

The game features large-scale maps for its 64-player 'Warfare' mode, designed for combined-arms battles across land, sea, and air. The 'Operations' extraction mode also takes place on large maps. The 'Black Hawk Down' campaign consists of eight or so linear, tactical missions set across Somalia.

Kyrat is a large and vertically diverse open world, divided into Southern Kyrat and Northern Kyrat (unlocked later in the story). Southern Kyrat features lush valleys, forests, and rivers, while Northern Kyrat is characterized by treacherous snow-capped mountains, high-altitude plateaus, and icy conditions. The map is rich with varied biomes, ancient temples, remote villages, and enemy strongholds. Additionally, players can access the mystical realm of Shangri-La through a series of side missions, offering a visually distinct and fantastical environment.

• Aircraft (Buzzer Gyrocopter): Air Vehicle (Light)
  The Buzzer is a small, agile one-person gyrocopter. It's excellent for quick traversal, scouting, and reaching high-altitude locations. Some variants might be lightly armed (e.g., with a grenade launcher in a specific mission or context), but it's primarily for mobility.
• Wingsuit & Parachute: Personal Traversal
  The Wingsuit allows for high-speed gliding after jumping from high places (cliffs, towers, Buzzer). The Parachute is used for safe landings. Essential tools for navigating Kyrat's vertical terrain.
• Grappling Hook: Personal Traversal (Utility)
  Allows Ajay to ascend and descend cliffs, swing across gaps, and access specific grapple points. Crucial for vertical exploration and stealthy approaches.
• Animal Mounts (Asian Elephants): Living Vehicle / Combat Mount
  Players can find and ride wild Asian Elephants. Elephants are incredibly powerful, able to charge through obstacles, trample enemies, and attack with their trunks. They serve as formidable, albeit temporary, combat mounts.

• Ajay Ghale: Protagonist
  A Kyrati-American who travels to Kyrat to fulfill his mother's dying wish. He is quickly drawn into the civil war and discovers his parents were the founders of the Golden Path. Ajay is a capable fighter who adapts to the harsh realities of Kyrat, making choices that determine the fate of the rebellion and the country.
• Pagan Min: Main Antagonist
  The flamboyant, charismatic, and psychopathic self-proclaimed King of Kyrat. He rules with an iron fist, yet has a surprisingly complex and personal connection to Ajay's family, particularly Ajay's mother, Ishwari. Known for his sharp purple suit and unpredictable behavior.
• Amita: Golden Path Leader / Potential Ally
  One of the two rival leaders of the Golden Path. She is pragmatic, ruthless, and believes Kyrat must modernize, even if it means engaging in drug trafficking (opium) to fund the rebellion and secure Kyrat's future through trade and industry. Often clashes with Sabal's traditional views.
• Sabal: Golden Path Leader / Potential Ally
  The other leader of the Golden Path. He is a staunch traditionalist who values Kyrat's culture, religion, and ancient ways. He opposes Amita's plans for drug production and industrialization, seeking to restore Kyrat based on its historical foundations and moral purity.

  Pagan Min's adopted daughter and right-hand woman, a ruthless military commander and an expert in psychological warfare and mysticism. She is obsessed with uncovering the secrets of Shangri-La.
• Longinus: Ally / Weapons Dealer
  A former African warlord who found religion and became a priest in Kyrat. He provides Ajay with weapons and missions, often involving tracking down 'blood diamonds' to 'cleanse' them. His sermons are filled with violent metaphors.
• Rabi Ray Rana: Ally / Radio Host
  The voice of Radio Free Kyrat. He provides humorous and often insightful commentary on Ajay's actions and the state of Kyrat, acting as a source of information and comic relief.
• Yogi & Reggie: Allies (Eccentric)
  A pair of British stoners who were once guests of Pagan Min. They frequently drug Ajay and put him through bizarre, hallucinatory trials, but also provide access to their fortified house which serves as an early safe house and upgrade station.
• Hurk Drubman Jr.: Ally / Co-op Partner
  A returning Far Cry character, an American obsessed with monkeys, explosions, and 'liberating' people, whether they want it or not. He serves as the player character for the second player in co-op mode.
• Noore Najjar: Pagan Min's Lieutenant / Reluctant Antagonist
  Forced to run Pagan Min's brutal Arena and opium operations because her family is held hostage. She secretly contacts Ajay for help, offering a morally grey storyline.
• Paul 'De Pleur' Harmon: Pagan Min's Lieutenant / Antagonist
  Pagan Min's American chief interrogator and torturer, responsible for the 'correctional facilities' and propaganda. He is a sadistic family man who believes he is bringing order.

• Black Hawk Down
  A cinematic, single-player and 4-player co-op campaign that is a faithful remaster of the original game, retelling the story of the Battle of Mogadishu.
• Warfare
  A large-scale, 64-player PvP mode where two teams fight for control of objectives on a massive map featuring land, sea, and air vehicles.
• Hazard Operations
  A squad-based, tactical extraction shooter where teams compete against other players and AI to complete contracts, secure valuable loot, and escape the map alive.

• Main Story Campaign (The Golden Path)
  A series of narrative-driven missions where Ajay Ghale gets involved with the Golden Path's rebellion against Pagan Min. Key objectives include disrupting Pagan Min's operations, rescuing important figures, making critical choices between Amita and Sabal's conflicting strategies, and ultimately confronting Pagan Min. This also involves uncovering the truth about Ajay's parents and their connection to Kyrat.
• Outpost Liberation
  Capture enemy-controlled outposts scattered throughout Kyrat. This involves eliminating all Royal Army soldiers within the outpost, either stealthily (for bonus XP) or through open combat. Liberating outposts turns them into Golden Path strongholds, unlocking fast travel points, safe houses, side missions, and reducing enemy presence in the region.
• Fortress Assaults
  Capture heavily fortified strongholds belonging to Pagan Min's lieutenants (De Pleur, Noore, Yuma). These are significantly larger and more challenging than regular outposts, often requiring more strategic planning and heavier firepower. Liberating fortresses further destabilizes Pagan Min's regime.
• Shangri-La Missions (The Legend of Kalinag)
  Find hidden thangkas (sacred paintings) that transport Ajay into visions of the mythical paradise of Shangri-La. In these surreal sequences, Ajay embodies the ancient Kyrati warrior Kalinag, fighting demonic Rakshasa alongside a mystical tiger companion, seeking to free Shangri-La from corruption. Each mission involves combat, light puzzle-solving, and unique visual storytelling.
• Side Missions (Weapon Convoys, Hostage Rescue, Assassination, Eye for an Eye, etc.)
  Various optional missions offered by Golden Path members and other NPCs. These include ambushing Royal Army weapon convoys, rescuing hostages, assassinating high-value targets, avenging fallen Golden Path members ('Eye for an Eye'), hunting specific animals for Kyrat Fashion Week, or delivering packages.
• Karma Events
  Dynamic, randomly occurring events in the open world where Ajay can choose to help Golden Path rebels under attack, defend civilians, or stop Royal Army patrols. Completing these positively impacts Ajay's Karma level, which unlocks perks and discounts.
• Campaign Story Choices (Amita vs. Sabal Missions)
  At several key points in the story, Ajay must choose to follow either Amita's plan or Sabal's plan for a particular mission. These choices have immediate consequences for the mission's objectives and dialogue, and cumulatively affect the Golden Path's leadership and the game's ending.
• DLC Missions (Valley of the Yetis, Escape from Durgesh Prison, Hurk Deluxe Pack)
  Separate mission sets included in DLC. 'Valley of the Yetis' is a new campaign where Ajay defends a relay station against cultists and Yetis. 'Escape from Durgesh Prison' is a permadeath challenge to escape and reach an extraction point. 'Hurk Deluxe Pack' adds missions starring Hurk.

The game is divided into three main modes: 1) Warfare: 64-player large-scale PvP with vehicles. 2) Operations: A squad-based extraction shooter (PvPvE). 3) Black Hawk Down: A tactical single-player and 4-player co-op campaign (co-op currently PC-only).

1. Co-op Campaign: A second player can join the host's world as Hurk Drubman Jr. Together, they can tackle outposts, fortresses, open-world activities, and some side content. Story progression is tied to the host. 2. Battles of Kyrat (PvP): An asymmetrical 5v5 mode where one team plays as the Rakshasa (Golden Path warriors using bows, animals, and stealth) and the other as the Elite Guard (Pagan Min's soldiers using guns and vehicles).
