Far Cry 4 Guide › Introduction

Crafting

(or “How to Sew Your Own Stylish Wallet Using Only Five Rhino Hides”)

Syringes

Syringes give you crazy buffs like heightened perception or amplified physical abilities. Or, you know, health, which is always good. And the recipes are surprisingly easy. As long as you know the skills (and you should learn at least the first four because they’re well worth the skill points), you just have to pluck a few flowers here and there during your adventures and you’re practically superhuman. For a minute or two, anyway.

SyringePlants NeededEffects
Health 2 Green Instantly heals two to six blocks of health (dependent upon skill level). Crafts automatically, no skill required.
Hunting 1 Blue, 1 Red Highlights enemies and animals. Upgraded form makes you virtually silent and prevents animals from reacting to you unless provoked.
Survival 1 Yellow, 1 Red Reduces the damage you take from physical attacks. Upgraded form also reduces damage from weapons fire.
Focus 1 Blue, 1 Yellow Increases running and swimming speed and enables longer dives underwater. Upgraded form makes it harder for enemy weapons fire to hit you when you are moving.
Overdose 1 Purple, 1 Silver Doubles the damage you deal and receive for 30 seconds. Not upgradeable.

Plants come in multiple colors and many, many shapes. They’re worth tracking down on the mini-map.

Tip

Most syringes last only 30 seconds when you first unlock the skill to craft them. But as you upgrade the skill, their duration swells to a whopping 170 seconds.

Note

Syringes don’t “stack.” Injecting a new syringe while the old one is still active will simply cancel the old one, not combine their effects. The only exception is health syringes, which do not interrupt the effects of any other syringes.

Bags, Wallets, Holsters, and Quivers

Overthrowing a tyrannical government by force requires a lot of cargo capacity. Weapons, ammo, explosives…not to mention all the booty and dead animal parts. It’s a load. Furthermore, Ajay needs to keep his hands free for the shootery and such. So, until Mr Chiffon designs him one of those safari vests with all the pockets, you’ll need to hunt and kill piles of animals and fashion their skins into increasingly larger containers.
