Far Cry 3

The only thing I don't have yet is the bow. What mission unlocks that?

I love how I literally don't have to spend ANY money to get weapons. Most of mine have come from doing those hunting missions.

I love the bow...it's a great sneaking weapon. I took out most of an outpost using one I bought it, but there is a hunting mission to use one to hunt a black panther. It was tough! Took me eight tries to survive it.

Bow is only good for the 1st half of the game to be honest. Second half of the game you face way more enemies wearing heavy armored body suites with helmets. Bow and majority of weapons do no damage against them, you can't even kill them with a stab.

I'm on the other island now and these guys are armed to the teeth, 1st island weapons are useless. Now I have to start all over again acquiring these new powerful weapons that unlock on the new island.

And far as the best taking out an outpost story. I shot open the cage of this black bear. He killed all 15 guys in that outpost.

I just took one out and was pretty proud of how I managed it. There were two high rooftops, both with a pair of guards. Below, there was a couple of heavies and a charger guarding the alarm system. So despite trying about five times, I couldn't get to that alarm system in time so I decided to just forget it and try something else.

I climbed to the rooftop and took out two of the guards silently with a chain assassination. Then, I sniped one of the two guards on the other roof, and took out the guard next to him with an assassination. Checking one last time if I could get to the alarm system, I decided I'd try something different. I loaded the entry of the rooftop up with mines and C4, and promptly took a shot at a heavy just to annoy him. The alarm was triggered, and I perched myself up against some cover with a LMG.

As I took out 2-3 vehicles with a LMG and RPG, one of the heavies and a charger ran into my mine-trap and died, leaving me one heavy. He has me cornered on the rooftop and I desperately searched for an escape (my guy was dying quickly) when I heard a loud growl from not far away. I sprinted off the roof and landed with a thud, but as I did my best to heal myself, I heard a cry of pain and a huge body roll off the roof in front of me. I never saw the tiger that saved my life, but I'm not sure I would have been able to take one more round of putting out the outpost. After that, I vowed not to shoot a tiger again unless I absolutely had to.

For outposts with Heavy guys you talk about I try and wipe out all the others with a bow, sniper, or takedowns, and then I use takedowns on the Heavy guys. I got the perk that lets you do that, otherwise I use grenades or something on heavy guys.

Hmm...I'll enjoy the first island as long as I can then It's been really fun liberating it and exploring, and I like the story so far too.

Just wait until you get to the outposts that have guard dogs roving the perimeter and guards with RPGs and 50 cal sniper rifles in the towers. Yeah, fun times....You definitely have to pick them off from a far. As far as enemies go far as sheer firepower and defenses......
