Karma

Learn how to earn and lose Karma in Far Cry 4. Discover Karma Events like Assassination, Bomb Defuse, and Hostage Rescue, and understand the rewards for each Karma level.

Alright, let's talk about Karma in Far Cry 4. It's a pretty neat system that adds a layer of good and bad choices to the game, and there's a separate meter to track it, split into 8 different levels. Hitting a new level nets you some sweet bonuses, like discounts at stores.

So, how do you rack up Karma? You can spin those Mani Wheels collectibles, for starters. Also, if you manage a clean kill on an animal using just your knife or a bow and arrow, you'll get a little Karma boost. Plus, there are random events popping up that'll grant you Karma when you complete them. Just be careful, though – you can lose Karma if you end up taking out a civilian or a Golden Path ally by mistake.

Karma Events are your best bet for earning Karma, and they're random, so keep an eye out. They show up as purple diamonds on your map. These events are usually pretty straightforward. Losing Karma by offing civilians or allies is a real bummer, so try to avoid that.

Here are the types of Karma Events you might run into:

• Assassination: You'll need to take down a Lieutenant who's got three buddies with him. How you take him out doesn't matter, just get it done.
• Bomb Defuse: Two bombs need defusing. If any enemy spots you, a timer starts ticking, so be stealthy!
• Helping Rebels: You'll stumble upon a fight between Pagan's forces and the Golden Path. Your job is to wipe out all the enemies to help the Golden Path secure the area.
• Hostage Rescue: You'll see a civilian and an enemy walking along. You need to take out the enemy quickly, or ideally without him even noticing, to save the hostage.
• Kill the Courier: An enemy is on the move with a vehicle, carrying some secret documents. Take him out, grab the documents, and you're golden.
• Predator: An animal is going after some Golden Path members. Your task is simple: kill the animal to save them.

Here's what you get for climbing the Karma ladder:
