How the hell can one survive the Arena?

[boeriemore]

The scene when a number of assault rifle armor clad soldiers enter the arena and start shooting.
I keep on dying as I only get to have one molotov and one grenade at any time.
I'm sorry I ever went to thos two idiots but fear there is no way of turning back the clock.

I'll be honest, the first response that comes to mind is; "with braincells." Use common sense, cover, and you start out with a knife. Down one, take the weapon, move on to the others. If you are talking about teh part where a heavy comes out with a bunch of guys with assault rifles and shotguns, you just gotta camp in cover till you get it. Throw the molly in the heavy's face and laugh as he burns, if you can.

and just think you have to return to the arena and reach LVL 10 in there to unlock the bushman assault rifle (glad i unlocked mine a long time ago ..it was a grindfest )

my ADVISE for the yogi and reggie mission there .... keep moving .. \ look for colored smoke as that indicates ammo and health syringe kits dropped into the arena

as the above poster said too you will find molotoves and grenades(as your running around you will pick a few up just by running over them hence keep moving and grabbin guns an ammo you'll need the AK and the shotty to start ) ..save the nades and cocktails for the final round for the heavy guys , also use your takedown skills as you can (helps if ya have heavy takedown unlocked by then )

i think i remember taking out that heavy guy before with just a shotgun ..but it was right in his face as he was reloading and i had a full clip in my shotty and he was the only one left , usually i'll just use cocktails or the few nades i find

just played that mission yesterday for the 30th or 40th time ..think it took me 10 - 15 min ?
only died once ..

the arena is HARD till ya get used to it

oh and once ya beat that mission you have to return to the arena to unlock the bushman rifle ..you have to reach LVL 10 in there ..


then every time ya replay the game

you have to redo that yogi and reggie mission get thru it and return to the arena .. your bushman will unlock after returning and winning a single round after you do the yogi and reggie mission

your arena lvl 10 + stays tied to your Uplay account ..

so you dont have to reach lvl 10 on every playthru .. THANK GOD

there used to be a way to use the companion app FarCry 4 arena master app on an i pad or android that would also work as long as you log in with the same uplay account

it'll save your arena rank and you can use it to boost your rank

but i have no clue if that works any longer .. was 3 yrs ago that i used to go from lvl 7 to 9
but like in the game itself its a grindfest

Thanks for all the replies. I actually got some tips by watching a video and was amazed that I had actually got to the final act without a gun in my hand. I played again and after dying a number of times confronted the heavy with someone standing alongside him, both shooting at me.
I was on the verge of dying again when to my relief "VICTORY" appeared on screen.

I am not a big fan of the Arena...I'll admit it.

I've survived that arena a few times but i died the first time, because i was fighting boldness with aggression, it's like oxygen to a roaring fire, it's the last thing you want to do.

using the cover, always know where your enemies are coming from, don't attack if you can let the various NPC teams take each other out, it just makes your job easier when they are all weakened after one side wins. the heavy isn't a real issue, you either get around him and attack from behind or you shoot the helmet off and go for a headie.

anyway i've seen way worse on Wolf ET during it's most populous time a decade ago, in small deadly corridors trying to kil human players near their spawn point. psh! you'd be lucky to make it a few meters through the front.

Wow, necromancy.
