Far Cry 3 is set on a tropical Asian-Pacific archipelago called the Rook Islands.[1] The game's protagonist is a young American man named Jason Brody who is trying to save his imprisoned friends and escape the hostile islands after a vacation gone wrong. He gets involved with the Rakyat, the native people of the island, and in return for their assistance, sets out to help them reclaim the island from Vaas Montenegro's pirate and Hoyt Volker's privateer invaders.

There are several types of missions in Far Cry 3, similar to those of Far Cry 2.

Story Missions — These missions are to do with the storyline. They advance the player through the game.

Side Missions — The player can talk to locals and Rakyat members and help them with their problems, leading to some interesting rewards.

Path of the Hunter — These missions are unlocked by liberating Outposts. They ask you to hunt animals for their skin or avenge people they killed. Some animals can be used in crafting.

Supply Drop — These missions are also unlocked by activating Radio Towers. You must drive through markers on a Quad Bike or other vehicle to deliver medical supplies in the time provided.

Trial of the Rakyat — These survival-based missions are found on large red-colored rocks. The trials force you to gun your way through waves of enemy troops within a time limit, with a fixed set of weapons.

Wanted Dead — In this mission you must find a pirate commander and kill him with either your machete or a takedown. You can use any weapons to kill the remaining pirates.

Co-op

It centres around four characters, Leonard, Mikhail, Callum and Tisha being scammed out of their money by Vaas' pirates while working to redeem themselves on a cruise ship. The High Tides DLC adds two more missions for this campaign, and can be bought for free in the Ubisoft Club.

Map Editor
