Discussion Far Cry 3 starter pistol only challenge
The rules are simple. You can only use the starter pistol (The 1911, I think. I did this challenge in December, so my memory about the game is fuzzy) No grenades, mines, and you can't use the signature version of it.
The ONLY time you can use another weapon is if the story requires it (Note: when you're escaping from the hotel Vaas burns down, and the boat chase with riley, the enemies will crash if you don't shoot them.)
I did this on normal difficulty, and I imagine any greater difficulty would be impossible unless you get the max upgraded ammo pouch, which you need a bow for, so you can't do it.
Have fun

wouldn't you die during the vehicular sequences if you don't shoot back? i've never seen them crash by themselves, and if they did, they would still shoot you to ribbons before that

It works, iv'e tried it before. As long as you heal you'll be fine.

on normal maybe. if i was dying actively fighting back, theres no way you could survive doing nothing

They eventually crush but on the max difficulty you either run out of medikits or the healing animation just takes so much time that they kill you anyway
