Get the lowdown on every enemy type in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Learn their behaviors and tactics to dominate the island.
This section is a quick primer on the various enemies you'll face in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Knowing who you're up against and how they act is key to surviving the island. You can tag enemies using Rex's camera, and the different tags will help you track their movements and understand their types, as each enemy behaves differently.
Here's the basic rundown of the different enemies you're likely to encounter:
Enemies & Enemy Tactics Guide
- Enemy Types: You'll encounter several different kinds of enemies throughout the game.
- Tagging: Use Rex's camera to tag enemies. Different tags represent different enemy types, which is crucial for understanding their behavior.
- Behavior: Each enemy variety has unique behaviors, so learning them will help you plan your attacks and defenses.
Regular:
Learn about Regulars, the standard fodder enemy in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. They use SMGs or Assault Rifles and seek cover.
Regulars are your standard fodder enemies, encountered more frequently than any other type. They are usually armed with SMGs or Assault Rifles and will run to cover (a position offering protection from enemy fire) when you are detected. They also toss the occasional grenade. In general, Regulars do not have much armor and as such only take a few bullets to kill, with headshots (a shot to the head) downing them instantly.
- Regulars are easily dispatched with headshots.
- They are less armored than other enemy types, so sustained fire will bring them down quickly.
- Be aware of grenades they may toss.
Molotex/Charger:
Learn how to defeat Molotex/Chargers in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. They have little armor and a headshot will finish them.
- 1Molotex/Chargers have very little armor and can be taken out with a few bullets.
- 2A single headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) will finish them off, similar to regular enemies.
- 3Be aware that they will disregard cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and run directly at you once alerted.
- 4They are often encountered in groups, with more than one present in an area.
- 5Molotex/Chargers are typically armed with molotox (the Blood Dragon equivalent of molotov cocktails) or shotguns.
- 6They are not hesitant to throw molotox, even at close range, and will continue to attack you up close, even while on fire.
- 7In most combat situations, taking out the Molotex/Chargers as soon as possible is advisable.
- Focus fire on Molotex/Chargers immediately upon spotting them to prevent them from closing the distance.
- Aim for headshots to conserve ammunition and quickly neutralize them.
- Be prepared for them to charge directly at you, abandoning any cover they might have been using.
- Watch out for their molotox attacks, as they can be thrown at close range and they will still attack you even if they are on fire.
