Learn about stealth and combat in far cry 4. Understand the detection meter and how enemies react to your presence.

You play as Ajay Ghale, returning to Kyrat after your mother's death to scatter her ashes. You become embroiled in the ongoing civil war, choosing to side with The Golden Path against the tyrannical Pagan Min.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You can approach almost any situation in far cry 4 by either running in guns blazing or by using stealth.
  2. 2
    You'll be fighting against both human enemies, as well as animals, which won’t hesitate to attack you without any warning at all.
  3. 3
    The Detection Meter from Far Cry 3 returns. This meter fills up to determine whether or not enemies break your stealth and begin attacking you.
  4. 4
    Note that the Detection Meter only applies to human enemies, as animals don’t use it.
  5. 5
    Whenever you get near a human enemy and they have a line of sight, a white meter begins to fill.
  6. 6
    If the meter fills up and then flashes, then your stealth is broken and enemies will begin attacking you.
  7. 7
    Stealth will almost always be an option for the player, but some situations will require you to use brute force.
Tips
  • Animals do not use the Detection Meter.
  • Stealth is not always possible; some situations require direct combat.
