If you wish to lay in some heavy artillery from a great distance away, the Type 63 Mortar is the weapon for the job.

This weapon is unlocked at the weapon shop after completing the THIRD CONVOY MISSION IN ACT 1. This is not a weapon I could ever see being a part of a regular weapon loadout but, like the mortar, it could come in handy on some special occasions. Can also be used to set tactical grass/bush fires although Molotov cocktails serve just as well and don't use up a Special weapon slot. A little slow and messy to use as a close combat weapon (especially during an intense firefight) but it does effectively set an enemy on fire and in short order will get him to drop his weapon and writhe about while he fries to death. The flamethrower is another special weapon that can be had right at the start of the game (depends on which side of Pala you escape to after the Jackal's opening speech). This weapon is unlocked at the weapon shop after completing the FOURTH CONVOY MISSION IN ACT 1. Another disadvantage is the low reliability rating which causes the Dart Rifle to jam up after only mild use after which it usually breaks apart after one or two more shots. Some disadvantages of the Dart Rifle is that the bolt action must be worked after every shot and unlike the M1903 Sniper Rifle (which also has a bolt action, see Far Cry 2 Primary Weapons Guide 1), the game forces you to disengage the scope immediately after taking your shot even if you continue to press the aim button meaning you can't monitor post-shot enemy movement. When using the Dart Rifle, it's best to first target enemies who can't be seen by their comrades in order to avoid putting the rest of them on alert. This also has the effect of them not knowing where to take cover even if they are alerted to danger in the area which makes them an easy target as they stand out in the open, alerted but confused. Since enemies use the sound of your gunfire to zero in on your position, the Dart Rifle can be used to effectively eliminate multiple enemies from a distance while they remain oblivious to your exact position. One of three silenced weapons in the game, the Dart Rifle pretty much guarantees a kill, head or body shot, although it doesn't have the same range as other sniper rifles such as the M1903 or the Dragunov.

Please note that the availability of weapons is based on the Far Cry 2 PC game, version (patch) 1.03. Below is a screenshot of these three Special weapons which can be found on the right wall on the left side when you first enter the armory.Ĭlick on any weapon to go to a full description including which convoy mission you have to complete in order to unlock the weapon for purchase at the shop's computer (if applicable). Continuing my Far Cry 2 weapons guide, let's take a look at the second batch of Special weapons adjacent to the explosives pile.
