Skills are enhancements to the player's ability in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon that Rex "Power" Colt unlocks by leveling up. Unlike previous and future entries in the Far Cry series, all skills in Blood Dragon are linear and unlocked in a set order, which is detailed below.
Skill Description[]
In the game's menu, the Skills are separated out into 9 distinct sections of four levels each (with the exception of Level 1 and Level 30). Because this organization is arbitrary, each level is broken up into its own section.
All even levels between Level 2 - Level 24 (inclusive) are simply an additional health bar.
Level 1:[]
- Able to breathe underwater indefinitely thanks to his cyber-lungs
- Able to spring faster than a human
