• Bow: Ranged Weapon (Technical)
  A mobile ranged weapon that rewards stamina management and allows for various coatings to be applied to arrows for different effects.

• Clubs (One-Handed & Two-Handed): Melee (Blunt)
  Basic to powerful melee weapons crafted from wood and stone. One-handed clubs are faster, while two-handed clubs deal more damage and can stun. Can be upgraded for increased damage and durability, and set on fire for extra damage over time and utility (burning foliage, scaring animals).
• Spears: Melee/Throwable (Piercing)
  Crafted from wood and sharpened stone/bone. Versatile for both melee combat (good reach) and as a powerful thrown projectile, especially effective against large beasts or armored foes. Can be upgraded for damage and durability.
• Bows (Standard Bow & Long Bow): Ranged (Piercing)
  Primitive bows crafted for ranged combat and hunting. The Long Bow offers better range and damage. Arrows can be standard, fire (igniting targets and environment), or (with upgrades) double arrows for increased damage. Essential for stealth.
• Slings: Ranged (Blunt/Distraction)
  Allows Takkar to throw stones with precision. Primarily used for distracting enemies, breaking weak objects, or headshots against unarmored foes. Less damaging than bows but useful for utility.
• Shards (Stone Shards, Berserk Shards): Throwable (Piercing/Effect)
  Sharpened pieces of stone used as throwing daggers for quick, silent kills on unarmored targets. Berserk Shards are coated with a substance that causes enemies to attack anyone nearby, including their allies, creating chaos.
• Bombs (Sting Bomb, Berserk Bomb, Fire Bomb): Throwable (Area of Effect/Utility)
  Crafted throwable explosives. Sting Bombs (Bee Bombs) release a swarm of angry bees that stun and damage enemies. Berserk Bombs have a wider area of effect for turning enemies against each other. Fire Bombs create a lasting area of fire, useful for area denial and igniting flammable objects or enemies.
• Traps: Utility/Area Denial
  Craftable traps that can be placed on the ground to ensnare or damage enemies and animals that step on them. Useful for defending locations or setting ambushes.

• Forged Armor Sets: The core armor system. Players craft full armor sets (helm, mail, braces, coil, greaves) from monster parts. Each piece provides defense and specific skills. Equipping multiple pieces from the same set can unlock powerful 'Set Bonus' skills.
• Decorations: Jewels that can be slotted into weapons and armor to add or enhance specific skills, allowing for deep customization of character builds.

• Crafted Clothing & Gear Upgrades (Wenja Village): Takkar does not wear traditional 'armor.' Instead, progression involves crafting and upgrading clothing pieces (like winter clothes for cold resistance) and enhancing personal carrying capacity for weapons, ammo (shards, bombs), tools, and resources. These upgrades are primarily done by providing skins, wood, and stone to specialists in the Wenja village. While some crafted clothing might offer minor elemental resistance (e.g., cold), the main 'defense' comes from health upgrades via skills and food buffs.
• Skill-Based Resilience: Defensive capabilities are primarily improved through Takkar's skill tree, unlocking increased health, faster health regeneration, and resistance to certain types of damage (e.g., fire, melee).
• Food Buffs: Consuming specific crafted food recipes can provide temporary buffs to health, stamina, resistances, or other attributes, acting as a form of temporary 'armor' or enhancement.

• Layered Armor: A cosmetic system that allows players to wear the appearance of any armor set they have crafted over their statistically relevant gear. This allows for full fashion customization without sacrificing skills or defense. Cosmetic DLC packs offer more options.

• Primitive Attire: Takkar's clothing is made from animal hides, furs, bones, and plant fibers, reflecting the Stone Age setting. As players upgrade specialists' huts in the Wenja village, they can craft improved versions of clothing, such as winter clothes that provide resistance to cold in the northern regions of Oros. While there isn't extensive cosmetic customization, the appearance of Takkar's gear evolves slightly with these upgrades. Some special outfits were available through the Apex Edition (e.g., paint based on animal spirits).

The core progression of hunting monsters to craft stronger gear returns. A new 'Wounding' system allows players to create temporary weak spots on monsters by repeatedly attacking a specific part. The new 'Focus Mode' helps in targeting these wounds for massive damage. All 14 signature weapon types return, each with new moves and abilities. A 'Dual Weapon' system allows players to carry a secondary weapon on their Seikret mount.

Takkar's progression involves earning skill points by gaining XP (from missions, hunting, exploration, capturing objectives). Skills are divided into categories like Survival, Hunting, Gathering, Fighting, Crafting, and Beast Master abilities. Key skills include taming different tiers of beasts, improving combat prowess with various primitive weapons, crafting more effective tools and consumables (health, buffs), and enhancing stealth capabilities. The Wenja village also serves as a progression hub; recruiting specialists (Sayla the Gatherer, Tensay the Shaman, Wogah the Crafter, Karoosh the Warrior, Jayma the Hunter, Dah the Udam, Roshani the Izila) and upgrading their huts unlocks new skills, crafting recipes, gear upgrades, and village population bonuses.

Monster Hunter Wilds features fully seamless open-world maps that are approximately twice the size of those in previous titles. Known regions include the Windward Plains (savanna/desert), the Scarlet Forest (dense jungle), the Oilwell Basin (vertical caves/swamps/volcanoes), and the Iceshard Cliffs. These zones have dynamic weather and seasons that alter terrain and monster ecology.

Oros is a large and diverse open world featuring distinct biomes. These include temperate forests, marshy swamps, icy northern glaciers and caves, and volcanic southern regions. Each area presents unique environmental challenges, resources, and wildlife. The verticality of the terrain, with cliffs, caves, and high plateaus, encourages exploration. There are no traditional 'regions' to liberate in the same way as other Far Cry games, but rather areas dominated by Udam or Izila presence, with outposts and bonfires to capture.

• Rideable Tamed Beasts: Living Mount / Prehistoric 'Vehicle'
  Far Cry Primal does not feature traditional mechanical vehicles. Instead, Takkar can ride certain tamed beasts for faster traversal and combat advantages. These include: Juvenile Mammoths (slow but powerful, can scatter enemies), Sabretooth Tigers (very fast and agile, good for quick travel and attacking from), and Brown Bears (balanced speed and combat utility, can be ridden after a skill unlock). Riding allows Takkar to use his own ranged weapons from the beast's back.
• Fast Travel (Outposts & Bonfires): Map Traversal Mechanic
  Once Takkar liberates enemy outposts and bonfires, they become Wenja controlled and serve as fast travel points, allowing for quick movement across the large land of Oros without manually traversing the entire distance.

The Apex Edition included: 'Legend of the Mammoth' missions (play as a mammoth), a new weapon (Blood Shasti Club), and four enhancement packs (Sabretooth Pack, Owl Pack, Mammoth Pack, Bomb Pack) offering early access to resources, skins, or minor perks. A Collector's Edition was also available with physical items like a steelbook, map, soundtrack, and Wenja phrasebook.

Capcom has announced a robust roadmap of free Title Updates. Title Update 1 (April 2025) added the Mizutsune, a new social hub, and Arch-Tempered monsters. Title Update 2 (Summer 2025) is confirmed to add the Lagiacrus and Seregios. Seasonal events like the 'Festival of Accord: Blossomdance' also provide limited-time quests and cosmetic gear.

The main post-launch content was the 'Wenja Pack,' which was part of the Digital Apex Edition and also sold separately. This included the 'Legend of the Mammoth' missions, the Blood Shasti Club, and the four enhancement packs. A Survivor Mode was added post-launch as a free update, offering a more challenging experience with permadeath options and increased difficulty. Other minor DLCs were typically cosmetic or resource packs.

  A: Yes, unlike previous titles which had segmented zones, Monster Hunter Wilds features large, fully seamless maps with no loading screens between areas.
• Q: How is the world more dynamic?
  A: The maps feature changing weather and seasons. This dramatically alters the landscape, monster behavior, and available resources. For example, a dry riverbed can become a raging river in the monsoon season.
• Q: Do all 14 weapon types return?
  A: Yes, Capcom has confirmed that all 14 signature weapon types from Monster Hunter: World and Rise are present in Monster Hunter Wilds, each with new moves and features.
• Q: Does Monster Hunter Wilds have cross-play?
  A: Yes, the game supports full cross-platform multiplayer between PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

• Q: Is Far Cry Primal connected to other Far Cry games?
  A: No, Far Cry Primal is a standalone title set in 10,000 BCE and does not share any narrative connections with other Far Cry games. It's a unique spin-off focusing on a prehistoric setting.
• Q: Are there any guns or modern technology in Far Cry Primal?
  A: No, true to its Stone Age setting, Far Cry Primal features exclusively primitive weapons like clubs, spears, bows, and crafted bombs. There are no firearms or advanced technology.
• Q: How does the Beast Master system work?
  A: Players, as Takkar, can learn to tame various prehistoric animals. This involves approaching an animal, often after distracting it with bait, and performing a taming ritual. Once tamed, the animal becomes a loyal companion that can be commanded to attack enemies, scout, or provide other unique benefits depending on its species. Players can have one active animal companion at a time and can switch between their tamed beasts.
• Q: Is there a spoken language in Far Cry Primal?
  A: Yes, Ubisoft developed three fictional languages for the Wenja, Udam, and Izila tribes, based on Proto-Indo-European linguistic roots to enhance immersion. All dialogue is in these languages with English (or other chosen language) subtitles.
• Q: Can you build or upgrade a base in Far Cry Primal?
  A: Yes, Takkar establishes and upgrades a Wenja village. By recruiting key specialists (like a shaman, crafter, hunter, warrior) and providing them with resources, players can upgrade their huts. Each hut upgrade unlocks new skills for Takkar, new crafting recipes for weapons and gear, population growth for the village (which provides daily resource caches), and other benefits.

Powered by the Dunia Engine 2, Far Cry Primal presents a lush and visually striking depiction of the Mesolithic era. Oros is characterized by dense forests, misty swamps, icy northern wastes, and volcanic landscapes, all teeming with detailed prehistoric flora and fauna. Animal models are particularly well-crafted, showcasing realistic movement and behavior. The game features dynamic weather, a day-night cycle, and impressive lighting that enhances the primeval atmosphere.

The original score by Jason Graves heavily features primitive instrumentation, tribal drums, bone flutes, and guttural vocals, creating a unique and atmospheric soundscape fitting the Stone Age. The game features three fully developed fictional languages for the Wenja, Udam, and Izila tribes, created by linguists based on Proto-Indo-European roots. Sound design is crucial for gameplay, with distinct animal calls indicating presence and threat levels, and environmental sounds providing clues for hunting and survival.

The UI is designed to be immersive and relatively minimalistic to fit the prehistoric setting. Health is represented by a segmented bar. Weapon selection is via a radial menu. Important information is often conveyed through environmental cues, animal behavior, and Takkar's own senses (Hunter Vision). A simplified compass and objective markers guide the player. The game features a fully developed fictional Wenja language (with subtitles) spoken by characters, enhancing immersion.

Standard Ubisoft accessibility options are present, including customizable controls (key remapping, sensitivity), aim assist (though less relevant for melee-focused combat), adjustable difficulty levels, and extensive subtitle customization (size, background, speaker names). Hunter Vision helps highlight important objects, enemies, and tracks.
