I don't think I could have got through those irritating mad animal wave attacks without setting up load of mines. Aren't they in the throwables cycle?

Not for me, just the meat, nades and molotovs. I find the weapon + ammo + throwable selection menu overly complicated and finicky, would prefer simply key mappings which, TBH, I never looked into.

I find the weapon & syringe wheels a faff. I go through stages of bingeing on some elaborate key binding action, then forgetting all about it for days.

Looking forward to re-doing some base caps now I got all the weaps to play with. I'll probably start minimal and subtle, and go progressively more rambo as I become more inebriated.

Ah, thanks - found it tonight. Yep. The previous spoiler comment was right.
She's a total bitch. And you get to take her out as she's walking slowly out of the base, no obvious rewards other than the satisfaction that you've saved the indigenous populace from their fate.

Oops, must have stuck that in a quote box rather than a spolier. (fail)

Planted my first mine with "0". Did a base recap and was amply rewarded.

If you leave her alive, she appears to become a Yak rancher - you can find her in a camp by a meadow full of Yaks in the hills. So maybe she gets a fit of conscience or is just living quietly on her ill-gotten gains.

They're useful things when you can be arsed to use them. Like the fancy arrows & - to a lesser extent - the syringes.

I use them a lot in FC3, one of the first things I do is mine the roads leading into the base, then set off the alarm and wait for the fireworks.

I've tried planning my attack like that a fair few times, but either get too close and get detected or a sniper picks me up when I'm creeping around and then things 'escalate'.

I need to work on my sneaking skills.

It's easier if you plant them up the road and out of sight, but generally I find the enemies are oblivious to anything outside the walls until shit happens. Another way to do it is set mines for random passing patrol to get them all stirred up and distracted, get into the main building and shoot them from the windows. Note I have yet to try this in FC4.

Gonna try out a couple of weapon mods:

For arrows & bolts:
https://www.nexusmods.com/farcry4/mods/53

"Getting shot with a huge metal spike should kill things."

General firearms:
https://www.nexusmods.com/farcry4/mods/59

"Faster ADS, better hipfire spread, etc." (ADS = aiming down sights, apparently)

This looks pretty cool too:

I've never modded FC4 - it never occurred to me. Whereas I've modded Skyrim to the nines, both in the flat and VR versions.

I'll probably start with the bow and crossbow mod while I carry on with some open world stuff, leftovers & base-recaps. I tried a few of the latter as one-offs, but they weren't very challenging, like they were undermanned, and the reinforcements were underwhelming. Might do the reset all bases option, that seemed to work better in FC3, at least with the Ziggy's mod on it.

Gotta remember to turn off the tagging and seeing through walls BS.

Still got some weapons and load-out testings ahead of me before I'm ready to tackle hard difficulty.

I might try the "unlock everything" one when I do another play-through (you still have to pay for weapons or 'win' free ones, and earn points for skills). I like the idea of going up North before anything's visible on the map, finding my way to and flying over that bridge in a buzzer when it's still bricked up then establishing a quick-travel beachhead on the other side.

I'll be intrigued to see if it lets you. I've got this feeling I tried (without a mod) and kept being respawned.

Yeah you definitely can't do it in the unmodded game.
