Far Cry 2's achievements encourage you to make friends

Recommended Videos

Seeing as how Far Cry 2 tells the story of one man trying to uncover the location of a ruthless arms dealer in strife-filled Africa, it would be easy to imagine the game as a lone-guerrilla sort of experience. That’s clearly not the case, though, if the recently revealed achievements are anything to go by.

I count seven achievements that require you to assist, or be assisted by, your buddies. Clearly Ubisoft didn’t want players to traipse across the savanna experiencing human interactions that only involve bullets and big explosions. Nope, if you want those 140 achievement points you’ll need to make friends, and then comfort them as they die to get “Good night sweet prince.”

All 48 achievements can be found, as always, after the jump.
