Far Cry Primal: 10 Things You Must Do First

2. Learn How Fire Spreads, And How To Use It Best

Fire was one of the main selling points of 2008's Far Cry 2 and could be a valuable ally as well as a dangerous and uncontrollable force of nature. With savannahs and long grasses surrounding you in a fictionalised African setting, a misplaced grenade or Molotov could spell doom in minutes as you quickly became surrounded by flames with no clear way out. This was in addition to the sheer difficulty of coping with being surrounded by clever enemies, un-jamming unreliable weapons and shoving malaria tablets down your throat before you pass out. In Primal, fire makes a welcome return and there are plenty of opportunities to set encampments alight to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies. It is dynamic and dangerous, quickly spreading both quickly and realistically. Remember, this is set thousands of years ago, too, so there€™s no emergency services to get you out of that hot spot you€™ve created.
