Far Cry 2 Game Guide

Act 1 - Destroy Compressor (AFR Mission)

Mission Details: The APR wants me to sabotage the UFLL motor pool at the junkyard. They have a compressor for equipment repairs. I gotta go in and destroy the compressor in the garage.

Objective: Destroy the compressor in the junkyard garage.

Drive down to the armory and snag some IEDs. You’ll want to drop the IEDs near the compressor to destroy the objective target. Alternatively, tossing a few grenades in the compressor’s vicinity will work too. Grab the car that spawns near Pala’s southwestern exit. Drive out of the southwestern exit and cross the bridge. Follow the route toward the guard post.

Tip: As you drive toward the guard post and the Cock Fights, find the shack and car on the right side of the road-it’s found just as the road bends south. Search the grassy area north of the shack to find a diamond briefcase behind a couple rocks. As you approach the Scrap Salvage, there’s a road to the south toward a safe house. There’s another diamond briefcase on the left side of the road in the brush before the decline down to the safe house.

Drive up toward the entrance to Scrap Salvage and pull off on the side of the road. There’s a single guard at the crossroads ahead-take him out from long-range before he spots you. You can use the thick brush for cover as you move around the junkyard avoiding contact with enemy forces or proceed straight toward the target.

Tip: Follow the southern fork in the road toward the junkyard entrance and spot the blue bus on the left side of the road. Watch for an enemy patrol at the junkyard entrance. Equip the machete and use it to break the boards on the back of the bus and find a diamond briefcase inside. Also, go to the far western side of the junkyard area and find another blue bus. Break the boards to get inside and find another briefcase in a small alcove.

One of the best routes to take is through the brush south of the junkyard. The thick grass provides ample cover from patrolling guards and the route takes you close to the objective. Maneuver through the brush until you are just south of the marked objective. Observe the junkyard and look for any guards patrolling the junkyard grounds.

If you navigate the junkyard perimeter carefully you can get this close to the compressor without being detected.

Sneak north toward the objective. Get inside the small building containing the compressor. Drop a few IEDs at the base of the compressor. Return to the brush south of the junkyard. If you were spotted fleeing the compressor, then just keep running through the brush back east toward the junkyard entrance. Detonate the IEDs to complete the task. You can also fight off the pursuers but it’s likely better to return toward the junkyard entrance and escape.

Alternate Mission

Objective: Meet your buddy who might have a better deal.

Take the bus to the northwest station. Take the dune buggy and drive short distance to the west to find the safe house containing your buddy. There’s also a shotgun inside if you need a weapon.

Objective: Steal the map from the fuel depot.

It’s located just northwest from your buddy’s safe house. Go east then north to the train tracks. Take the tracks west toward the fuel depot so you avoid the guard station nearby.

Maintain distance from the location so you can scout. Use the monocular and discover a sniper on the eastern tank. This area is quite open and the approach lacks cover so it can be difficult to make an assault-there will be a lot of enemy guards targeting you! Take out the sniper with your own and then start working on the other depot guards. Take advantage of the explosive barrels around the depot and shoot them when guards are near-or just blow them up to start lots of fires. Locate the map inside the eastern building.

Tip: Diamond briefcase on train car next to the middle circular fuel tank. Ascend the stairs to the top of that tank and then jump onto the railing and then down onto the train car to recover the diamond briefcase.

Objective: Destroy the compressor in the junkyard garage.

Return to Pala via the bus. Drive down to the armory and snag some IEDs. You’ll want to drop the IEDs near the compressor to destroy the objective target. Grab the car that spawns near Pala’s southwestern exit. Drive out of the southwestern exit and cross the bridge. Follow the route toward the guard post.

Drive up toward the entrance to Scrap Salvage and pull off on the side of the road. There’s a single guard at the crossroads ahead-take him out from long-range before he spots you. You can use the thick brush for cover as you move around the junkyard avoiding contact with enemy forces or proceed straight toward the target.

If you were spotted fleeing the compressor, then just keep running through the brush back east toward the junkyard entrance. Detonate the IEDs to complete the task. You can also fight off the pursuers but it’s likely better to return toward the junkyard entrance and escape.

Objective: Head to the ambush point and help your buddy eliminate all UFLL troops.

Run out of the junkyard and proceed north to the marked location on the map. Aid your buddy by shooting all guards at the ambush point to complete the mission.

Act 1 - Kill Faction Leader

Mission Details: Kouassi has ordered me up to the Goka falls retreat-north side of Mt. Thabamolaetsa. I’m to kill Leon Gakumba.

Objective: Head to Goka Falls and kill Gakumba.

This mission will appear after you have completed all six faction missions (three for UFLL and three for APR, plus a possible free buddy mission). This mission will appear at either the APR or the UFLL contact in Pala. Although the locations and objectives of this mission remain the same, some details may differ depending on your play through. What you did in those missions affects whether this mission is a UFLL target or an AFR target. For the purposes of this walkthrough, we were assigned the mission by an AFR and ordered to eliminate the UFLL leader.

Visit the armory and grab a sniper rifle, which could prove useful in taking out the guards surrounding the faction leader target. Get over to the Pala bus station. Grab a bus ride to the northeast station, which is closest to the target location at Goka Falls. Drive north and through the desert sticking between the road and the oasis to the north. Move through the desert so you are bypassing road patrols as well as the guard station and safe house (if you haven’t unlocked the location already).

Tip: While driving west along the northern edge of the map, stop due north from the Fort. There’s an impressive tree here. Look north of that tree and find a diamond briefcase behind a rock formation. From the northeast bus station, start west along the road. But don’t get to the guard station. Instead, turn into the alcove south of the road. There’s a shack there with a diamond briefcase inside.

Continue to drive along the northern edge of the map to avoid patrols. Hit the train tracks and keep west avoiding the nearby guard station. Once you are north of Goka Falls, veer south and start off road toward the target location.

Approach Goka Falls from the north. Park the car well away so you can sneak up. Stay in the thick grass along the western edge. You’ll approach another cabin before the target; expect a couple of patrolling guards out front. You can sneak past or eliminate them from long-range or with a silenced weapon.

Get into the water and swim directly across-the road leading up to the target’s location is here. Emerge onto land and advance along the path up the hill. The path winds up the hill-you can check the map to gauge the route. As you near the suspension bridge leading to the target, expect to see a guard (likely relieving himself over the waterfall). Take him out from long-range or use stealthier tactics.

Pull out a sniper rifle and take out the guards near the target. Or you could try to sneak across the bridge to the other side, locate the target inside and eliminate him. Toss a grenade in his room, fire a rocket, or just shoot him. If you have angered the local guards, be prepared for a vicious counter attack. Escape across the bridge quickly or eliminate the guards at close-range (snag a dropped assault rifle to replace the sniper).

Objective: Escape the Goka Falls Lodge.

Battle your way across the bridge and back down the hill. Leap into the water and swim to the other side (there’s a ladder on the dock). Return inside the brush. In case you misplaced your vehicle, there should be a jeep parked close to that lower cabin.
