Climb them Towers they should unlock the Guns, Signature guns and make them free.

Love the chain takedowns, death from above/below, dual death from above/below.

I only have about 6-7 more towers to disable. Got all of 'em in the North. I only have 2 signature weapons unlocked for now; Bull and Shadow. Read up about ZMR and it looks so dam bad-ass. Just need a few more relics before it's unlocked.

As for the skill tree upgrades, my Spider and Shark tree is almost complete. Didn't focus on Heron that much. In additional to Death from above and below, I like the Knife Throw take down. I always use that when going on 'Wanted' missions.
 
If this comes on PS+ later this year will definitely look to platinum it.

DLC comes tomorrow or the day after doesn't it? Would love to get some explanation for all the weirdness that happened in the game.
 
I noticed a small red house icon on the South side map. It was some camp location and the legend wasn't too clear about it either. Anything I should know about it?
 
Finally finished it before it took the route of farcry 2 (left halfway). Felt there is a bit too much repetition like it, didnt even bother to free all the outposts. Even though the open world idea is pretty good and farcry 3 has improved a lot over the predecessor, the feeling of repetition does set in eventually. Story is pretty gud. [Guess no open world shooter can reach the awesomeness of STALKER.]

Also i felt the effect of fire on grass was much better in FC2 than here.
 
The red houses are camps for solders on other side of the island. At a later point in the game they will act as fast travel stations and quest locations.
 
Just completed the main story . Climbed up all the towers . The one thing i love about farcry games is that you can go silent and stealthy or just guns blazing . I prefer the stealthy way . Game is much better than FC2 may be because of the tropical setting compared to the african desert . Completed the game with an ak and a silented sniper . There was no point in collecting the herbs except the green ones. Takedowns are fun , much better after learning some skills . Is there any kind of achievement if we liberate all outposts? .

Don't get the Signature ZMR sniper rifle as it is an overpriced carp.climb a few more towers to unlock the base ZMR which turns out to be cheaper with all the upgrades compared to the signature one. The biggest advantage is that the stock ZMR can be equipped with a suppressor after which even the heavy troops can be killed with a single silent headshot.
My standard loadout was the
1)Ultimax 100 (Just in case shit happens)
2)Initially the shotty and then the D-Eagle as it packs a harder punch than any shotgun for those pesky komodos
3) Initially the bolt action suppressed Remington which was a tad underpowered.After the suppressed ZMR was unlocked I used to take up a high position overlooking the checkposts and snipe them.Almost always got the 1500 xp for undetected liberation.
4) The FAMAS which I used rarely
 
I always carried the Bullpup F1, MP5 & Signature Series Vektor SMG (Shredder). All with extended mags an optical scope. 4th slot would be Silenced sniper, LMG or FlameThrower depending on mission.

The platinum on ps3 looks pretty easy but there are some coop missions trophies. Since I've already purchased this for PC no chance of getting the platinum unless it is free on playstation plus.
 
I think the Bow is by far the best weapon in FC3, especially with those special arrows.

For close range I found Shredder was extremely effective.

Other than that I just loved burning everything down with the flamethrower.
 
RPG FTW!!
ACE with Extended mags and Red Dot
D50 with Extended mags and Reflex
Z93 AMR

Abandoned the stealth approach on the Southern island. There is much more fun going in all guns blazing and blowing up the reinforcements with the RPG. What a sight !
 
Just completed the game and boy this was seriously an amazing game. Definitely made in my top 3 games from last year. Took me 38 hours and 46 minutes with 70% completion rate. Completed all the side mission, captured all outposts, activated all the towers, completed all the 'Path of the Hunter' quests and unlocked every skill. The storyline and characters were pretty engaging too. Coming from a horrible experience with Far Cry 2, this was definitely a welcome change for the series. This could also easily be awarded as one of the visually enriched game for 2012. Fabulous job Ubisoft!
