Far Cry 3 crafting

Crafting is an important part of gameplay in Far Cry 3. Crafting with animal hides gives Jason Brody the ability to hold more weapons, money, loot, ammo, explosives, and syringes. You must craft the smaller ones to unlock the larger ones. Crafting with Plants allows you to make medicine and buff syringes. Below is a list of craftable items.
