Chieftains are the heavy troopers of the Udam and Izila tribes. They are equipped with a Two-Handed Club. They are Far Cry Primal's version of the Heavy Gunner and Heavy Flamer.
Udam Club[]
- Role: Anti-Beast Tank
- HP: Very High
- Damage: Very High
- Attack Frequency: Slow
- Range: Melee
- Movement Speed: Slow/Charge
- Special: Elite only, Takedown requires Heavy Takedown skill
- Elite Characteristics: Indestructible Helmet, Roar Charge
Udam Cheiftains are the strongest warriors in the Udam tribe, wielding powerful two handed clubs made from bones, and heavy bone armor. Unlike other Udam, who wear two outfits depending on the climate, Cheiftain's wear heavy armor wherever they go, they are Commonly found leading attacks against Wenja camps in the North, or in outposts, or protecting Elite warriors in camps. They are appointed to this rank by Ull personally and command their troop's patrols and paterns.
The powerful Chieftain takes and dishes out a lot of damage. In order to perform a takedown on him, you must purchase the Heavy Takedown skill. Outside of the Commander and Leader, these tanks are the strongest members of the tribe with the ability to knock you down. Take them out early with stealth. They do have the easiest time against your beast, so be sure to help when sending your companion after the foe. A Bear is a good match for these troops, allowing you to fight from longer range while it draws the enemy’s focus. Chieftains are melee fighters, but they do have the ability to use throwables.
Izila Club with Fire[]

Izila chieftain
- Role: Anti-Beast Tank
- HP: Very High
- Damage: High
- Attack Frequency: Slow
- Range: Melee
- Movement Speed: Slow/Charge
- Special: Elite only, Takedown requires Heavy Takedown skill
- Elite Characteristics: Indestructible Helmet, Roar Charge, Fire Ground Strike
An elite-only troop, these tanks are very similar to the Udam; they have a strong melee attack and are tough to kill. The Heavy Takedown skill is required to score a takedown. There is also a skill available for the Owl that allows it to eliminate a Chieftain. Make these troops an early priority, just after Elite Slingers and alarms. The stronger beasts, such as Bears or Tigers, are best against these foes; they beat down lesser animals with ease. This Izila carries a big, fire-lit torch that he slams against the ground for a devastating fire attack. Easiest ways to take care of them are either through the Heavy Takedown or by throwing 2 maxed spears at them.
They are the best that their tribe has to offer in combat, and are tasked with leading groups of soldiers, and protecting the dynasty from Rebels or Wenja. They are rarely used compared to the Udam.
