Far Cry Primal eGuide Appendices Gear

Weapons

Weapons crafted with the materials found around Oros come in four varieties: bows, clubs, spears, and throwables. This latter category includes bombs, shards, and traps. Bait is also considered a throwable, but it is definitely no weapon. Though it does work to distract a hungry animal.

Sling

Unlocked for Crafting

Upgrade 1 Build Jayma’s Hut

Crafting Requirements

Sling South Maple x4, South Stone x2, Animal Hide x8

Controls: Hold Down on the D-Pad to prepare the sling. Release to throw.

The sling throws rocks faster, farther, and with more damage. Headshots can kill enemies. With unlimited damage, this is a great choice when picking off unsuspecting foes from a distance. Get the Precision Sling skill to pierce enemy headgear.

The bow is a balanced and versatile long-range weapon with great accuracy. The second upgrade adds rapid fire capability, loading and firing arrows very quickly. The bow has better range than the sling, so use this when farther out. The bow is great for headshots on regular enemies. Collect your spent arrows when possible or you could use up Hardwood reserves in a hurry.
