Weapons | The Basics Far Cry 4 Guide

Some of the weapons are unlocked the first time you are at the store.

In stores, from various traveling traders and also in lockers in your hideouts (liberated outposts) you can buy your equipment. The majority of weapons can be unlocked by completing storyline missions or side missions. Some of the guns also become available the first time you loot them, e.g. from a dead soldier. This does not mean that it automatically becomes yours - you still need to buy it. To get weapons for free, activate bell towers.

Four weapon slots allows you to alter your tactics fast, whenever required by the situation.

After you upgrade the "Holster" to the maximum level, you can carry around 4 guns - 3 main ones and a sidearm. Additionally, depending on the bag for throwables, and the bag for explosives, you can carry around various number of Molotov cocktails, mines and C4 explosives. After you complete various upgrades, you can carry quite an arsenal with lots of ammo. At the stores, you can buy appropriate weapons and put them in the slots. Also, you can buy various upgrades for the weapons.

Upgrades improve on weapons' statistics. A better sight ensures you with better zooming.

To do that, pick the weapon that you want to modify. Then, assign it to a specific slot. After that, you access the menu that specifies the statistics of the weapon. You can pick from among three types of upgrades - the barrel, the scope and the magazine. Not all of the upgrades are available for each of the weapons, some have restrictions, when it comes to the number of possible modifications. While picking an upgrade, you can view how they will affect the statistics of the weapon.

Remember to pick the muffler, for stealth actions.

Signature weapons

The best sniper rifle in the game can easily penetrate walls.

Apart from the regular ones, there also are signature weapons. These are better and remodeled variants of the standard guns. They have better statistics - greater accuracy, improved firepower or firerate. You cannot change upgrades here - the gun that you buy must remain intact. There are conditions that you need to meet, if you want to get a given weapon. If you are not in a hurry, I recommend that you do that only after you reach the third Karma level, at least - you will then receive a discount of 25%, which makes a difference, given the prices of these guns.
