Playing on the realistic difficulty changes the behaviour of the AI and their durability very early in the game. On any of the other difficulty settings, you would expect opponents with helmets only near the end of the game, instead you'll encounter them as early as in level 3 (Fort).

In short, you can expect enemy headshots to be one-hit kills (even with armor!), you take exponentially more damage upon body shots, allowing you to die in no more than three or four shots. Armor is key to survival, but ultimately provides almost no additional cover, being an extension of your healthbar rather than anything else.

Lastly, enemy AI will much more quickly resort to using different strategies, calling in additional help (armed helicopters, land vehicles, boats) and using 'smart' hiding spots and routes to flank you when multiple mercenaries are available.

► TIPS & TRICKS

- Never run and gun on this mode, it means instant death even at the very first camp in the game.
- Always pick up body armour. This is the case on every difficulty, but especially on realistic, as it marginally (but surely) decreases your visibility, and stops most body shots from ripping you apart in seconds.
- Lay low and hide in bushes 100% of the time. Mercenaries will almost never notice you on sight when doing so, and allows you to sneak from any direction.
- Use of the single-shot firing mode on rifles in the game allows for precise shooting from further distances. Make good use of this on the realistic difficulty.
- Land vehicles, like the jeep or buggy, and armed boats are your friends. They allow for easy kills from large distances with rockets and miniguns. In contratry, mounted miniguns on the ground are a death wish, avoid them as they generally expose you in wide-open areas.
- Detonate explosive barrels, if you can without hurting yourself, to eliminate multiple enemies at a time.
- Avoid using your flashlight when possible, it is too noticeable. Use your binoculairs to register enemy positions, this is of extreme importance on realistic. Use smoke grenades and flashbangs in small corridors to easily ambush and kill multiple mercenaries.
- The silenced MP5 and the shotgun are your best friends. Use these to silently take down enemies, or blast away the trigens.
- Patience is everything. It's what, in the long run, will allow you to beat every level. Muscle memory is going to be of high importance, as knowing most enemy spots beforehand can give you a huge advantage.

► LEVEL TIPS

Being the very start of Far Cry, Training unsurprisingly serves as a small tutorial for beginning players whom are about to start an incredibly hard and challenging journey. I say small, because only the very beginning portion of this level is really tutoring you a handful of actions (such as throwing rocks to distract enemies should you run out of ammo, how and when the A.I. can spot you and how this is reflected in the UI and so on). From the moment you leave this area, you'll immediatly understand what's at stake.

The most important trick here is to make us of the abundant foliage to hide from enemies. Use jeeps or buggies to easily make your way around the island. Binoculars are great to spot enemies early-on and prepare a battle. However, they can also trigger enemy spawns which sometimes you don't want to trigger early (engine trick). Try to find the best opportunities to use them.

When you reach the first large camp, try to avoid triggering the alarm. Mercenaries will do so from the moment they can fully spot you, so remain in the bushes at all times. Approaching the carrier requires you to know enemy placements beforehand, or else you'll get 1-hit KO'd if you're not fast enough, so you'll most likely have to try multiple times before getting it right.
