Far Cry 2: Armory on a Budget, Part 2
Last week we took a look at some of the most cost-effective weapons in Leboa-Sako. There’s even more weapon choices in Bowa-Seko, the southern district. But weapon prices are also a bit higher, meaning you’ll need to watch your spending carefully to avoid depleting your stash of diamonds.
Uzi: Whether you bought the MAC-10 or not, the Uzi should be one of your first purchases in Bowa-Seko. It’s available as soon as you enter the district and at only 20 diamonds, it’s the best secondary firearm you can purchase.
M-249 SAW: If you enjoy sniping and haven’t bought the PKM, seriously consider picking up the M-249 for only 20 diamonds. While it’s less powerful than the PKM, it’s much easier to operate, benefiting from lighter recoil. It’s also very versatile, allowing you to choose more specialized weapons for your primary weapon slot.
AR-16: This is the only assault rifle with a telescopic sight. The scope isn’t as powerful as those found on sniper rifles, but it’s a nice touch and very easy to use; just put the green dot over the target and pull the trigger. However, the rifle has some serious reliability issues. So always pick-up a fresh one when visiting an armory.
MGL-140: If you didn’t buy the M-79, consider splurging on this semi-automatic grenade launcher. This can lay waste to guard posts and other lightly defended areas in a matter of seconds. At 35 diamonds, it’s a big purchase, but it’s well worth it…especially if you like to watch things blow up.
Carl G Rocket Launcher: I love using this rocket launcher for assassination missions. All you have to do is fly the rocket near the target and mission complete. It’s a somewhat common weapon in Bowa-Seko and can be found on some snipers. But it’s a good idea to own one yourself if you’ve got 35 diamonds to spare.
Hi nice website! I really enjoyed reading here.. thanks a lot!!!
Dear Mabooza,
thanks a lot for your continued support of “Far Cry 2″!
I still enjoy this game very much and therefore appreciate your work!
By the way, weren’t you allowed to post the more detailed, original character dossiers here? You haven’t mentioned these again but I still would love to read them if possible!
Other than that there’s just one thing about “Far Cry 2″: The location of the paragliders!
I’d love to get an offical and complete of these!
Well, I found a few of them on my own, of course. But in some cases they were gone when I visited the exact same spot later in the game – even though I hadn’t used them at all! How’s that possible? Does the availability of the paragliders depend on certain circumstances in the game? If so, what are these and what’s the reasoning behind them?
Thanks a lot in advance and keep up your great work!
Best wishes,
Mick
