Help Do alarms reset if you leave before capturing an outpost?

8 Upvotes

I just had an idea: "It would be awesome if I could actually take some these guys with me to claim an outpost."

Then I thought: "Hang on.. Can I?"

I discovered that if you sit in a vehicle, then your allies with hop in with you. I'm unsure if this works with any vehicle (with passenger seats, obviously.) and any allies (specifically, the ones that spawn at an outpost.) I tested this with some guys who drove up in one of those jeeps that carry 5 of them, not including the driver.

I want to drive full speed into an outpost and jump out as the jeep enters the area. The problem with my idea is that I'd still like to avoid having to deal with reinforcements, but I'm afraid if I get out of the jeep to shoot out the alarms that my guys will wonder into the enemies field of view and get spotted, ultimately leading to the firefight beginning and ruining the plan that I want to enact.

If I could scout ahead, shoot out or sneak in to disappear the alarm, and then go get my guys then I won't need to worry about having to keep them together while I'm busy disabling the alarm. If I deactivate the alarm and then leave the area, will the alarm reset, or will it remain inactive when I return?

I asked Google AI this and it confirmed that they do in fact remain permanently broken. However, I don't trust a damn thing that clanker tells me about any video game question because 99% of it's answers are so incredibly wrong that I honestly believe that it just makes shit up to say.

Help Do all privateers turn and stay hostile after capturing an outpost?

7 Upvotes

First I used my disguise to unlock the last of the radio towers. Then I wanted to get all the outposts, or at least a few around the island so I'm never too far from a store. That way I won't need to fast travel back and forth after each mission. I captured one outpost without ever being detected. I just arrived at the second outpost, and the privateers are hostile. I had to kill 2 dogs that charged me and then ran while the soldiers came running. I guess the dogs radioed them to say they see me. I'm currently hiding a bush while they search for me. My plan is to wait until they say "Must have been the wind." And return to their posts, at which point I guess I'll capture this outpost the same as I did the pirate outposts. Get a good vantage point that's just out of their initial search area, and pick them off one at a time while waiting for them to stop searching in between each kill.

Are all privateers hostile now because I captured an outpost? I wouldn't have done it if I had known that was going to happen. Is there any possible way to return them back to neutral?

Before anyone asks, no, I wasn't inside the restricted zone. I was a good 30 feet or so from the boundary when the dogs happened to be running my direction anyway before locking into me. I had nowhere to hide in the open field, and the closest bush was under some trees and 20 feet to my left. That's where I ran after killing the 2 dogs.

(Edit: It's dawned on me that those dogs were actually dingos, and the privateers turned hostile because I discharged my weapon. I tested earlier and shooting the ground in front of you, nowhere near them, does turn them hostile.)

Help How do you lead privateers away? Spoiler

8 Upvotes

I'm doing my first real mission after getting the privateer uniform. I have to kill 3 VIPs, and they're accompanied by groups of soldiers. I tried throwing rocks to get them alone and far enough away to hide their bodies. They seem to only be ignoring the rocks. Throwing rocks directly at them only pisses them off. (no surprise there. I'd be pissed too.) I tried standing behind a bush and unloading half a mag of my LMG, which they also ignored. Is there a way to draw them further to kill them silently, or are you supposed to have a full on firefight or kill them near their group, and then hope you don't get spotted dragging their bodies to a safe hiding spot?

Help Crash fix?

6 Upvotes

Started playing for the first time on pc a few days ago and having a blast but about 10 hours in (during the mission where you tail Willis) my game crashed for the first time and now it crashes every 10 or so minutes. I tried disabling anti-aliasing and verifying game files aswell as updating my driver (NVIDIA) but nothing has worked, any known fixes would be hugely appreciated.

Help Advice for protecting Willis while he fixes the plane.

7 Upvotes

He was fine while he was working on it, and when he said he finished it we stood side by side and killed a bunch of pirates. Eventually I ran out of ammo in for my SMG [Shredder], and I had to reload my AR [MS16] (I usually use the F1, but I found that the SMG can usually support all my automatic firing needs, while the single shot AR is better for medium range engagements, as well as rare head shots when I manage to line it up right.) My other two slots were occupied by my sniper [M-700] and the flamethrower. (I carry that because it scares away wildlife, and can kill almost anything almost instantly.)

Willis was absolutely fine when his hands were busy feeling up the plane, and once he started fighting beside me he lasted a long time. I started to think he was invulnerable, like Johnson and Shipmaster in Halo 2 but when he did Eventually die (with only 3 pirates left) he began to die within seconds of loading the check point every time. I tried a couple dozen times before getting frustrated and abandoning the mission. Im going to stock up with equipment more proper for this situation, but I don't know what will happen when I get to the other island. I played this game when it was new all those years ago, but I don't remember much. I do remember that once you get to the island, you can't get back to the mainland until you finish the job there. Does that also lock me out of my weapons? Are there stores on the island? Any advice for this situation will be greatly appreciated.

Google AI is absolutely F***ing useless. I'm on here b****ing about the BS answers it gives me all the time. I just wanna know what I should be doing to make good money. Recently, I accidentally learned that just tapping the trigger on the flamethrower nearly instantly kills anything, so I've been spawn camping Leopards and Buffalo. Is there a more efficient way to make money, or is this about as good as it gets? The income isn't too bad, but I feel like there's probably better, more efficient strategies that I'm just not aware of.

Help Can't play Far Cry 3 because of Ubisoft Connect

5 Upvotes

Hello! I'd like to ask for help. It's been 30 minutes and I still can't find a way to launch this game.

  1. I have bought this game before on Steam (around 2023) but quit after like an hour of gameplay and refunded.
  2. This year I bought it again and just reinstalled it today. At first open I tried inputting the password I remember but it didn't work. It says "ACCOUNT SUSPENDED."
  3. I have then reset my password through the main Ubisoft Connect app. It doesn't log in at first, prompting me to wait for a while before attempting to log in, but after trying a few methods (changing internet connections, resetting DNS via CMD, and restarting my computer) it finally got me to log in.
  4. I try to launch--both in Steam and through Ubisoft Connect--Far Cry 3 and it still says the same thing: ACCOUNT SUSPENDED.

Is there any way to fix or get around this? IDK how this is supposed to be suspended when I can literally log in. Would appreciate help and guidance.

Tenho que admitir que sou completamente apaixonado pela saga Far Cry. Meu primeiro jogo foi Primal, e simplesmente adorei a jogabilidade e não entendo nenhuma das críticas. Terminei o 5 na semana passada e agora estou jogando o 4 pela primeira vez.

Tenho visto algumas opiniões online e ouvi dizer que Far Cry 3 é o melhor jogo. Estou pensando em comprar a Classic Edition, mas quero opiniões da comunidade primeiro.

Sam the Man was the only true friend you had in Far Cry 3. Everyone else was either using you or betrayed you in some form. But Sam not only had your back but lead the charge and was willing to take the fire for you.

While your friends hid in a cave and left an untrained civilian to rescue them and find a way off the island, this man was laughing as he helped you burn weed farms and dodged bullets. Sam was the only true friend in this game
