help Far Cry 4 FAQ

Who is Ajay Ghale in Far Cry 4?

Ajay Ghale is a Kyrati-American who returns to Kyrat to scatter his mother's ashes. Once there, he is pulled into the civil war between Pagan Min's Royal Army and the rebel group called the Golden Path.

What platforms did Far Cry 4 launch on?

Ubisoft released Far Cry 4 in November 2014 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Ubisoft Montreal led development, with support from other Ubisoft studios.

How do outposts work in Far Cry 4?

Outposts are enemy-held locations that Ajay can clear with stealth, guns, wildlife, or vehicles. Liberating them changes the map, unlocks safer travel points, and gives the player room to approach Kyrat's open world more freely.

How does Pagan Min compare with Far Cry 3's Vaas?

Pagan Min is more of a theatrical ruler, voiced by Troy Baker, while Vaas in Far Cry 3 is a volatile pirate lieutenant played by Michael Mando. Far Cry 4 uses Pagan's personal connection to Ajay's family to make the conflict less anonymous.
