Features[]

The Map Editor in Far Cry 3 is not very different from Far Cry 2's Map Editor. One of the new and notable features is that you can place handheld weapons, AI, and Vehicles, but these are only for Personal Use. Like in Far Cry 2, it is mainly used for Multiplayer, and sometimes just to mess around.

As said in the above segment: AI, Handheld weapons, and Vehicles are only for personal use. This means that only one player can play it in the map editor.

  • AI: The AI you can place in the Map Editor comes in two sections: Allied Mercenaries and Hostile Mercenaries. Allied consists of Rakyat Assaulters, Defenders, Rocketeers, and Snipers. It also has Local Men, which are civilians with guns. Hostile consists of every type of Pirates and Privateers, although some of the Boss and Elite variants are unavailable however.
  • Weapons: Since Far Cry 3 allows you to chose your own weapons and have custom loadouts, weapons can't be used in Multiplayer maps, only in Singleplayer maps. The only weapons allowed are heavy machine guns, which can not be held.
  • Vehicles: Vehicles are allowed in Singleplayer maps with three types: Air (Hang Gliders), Sea (Zodiac, Patrol Boat, and Jetski), and Land (Scavengers, Old Jeeps, Buggies, and Quad Bikes).

Multiplayer[]

To make a playable Multiplayer map, your map must be valid for the wanted gamemodes. To get your map validated, you will need to go to Gamemodes, then go to Global. Here, select End Movie, and place it where you want. This will be where the ending scene of the match takes place. You then must make spawn points for the Blue Team and Red Team, as well as make the shared spawn points (BT: 9 RT: 9 Shared: 10) You must also have none of the Items stated only for Personal Use, and you will also need to place everything needed in your gamemode in good places. Each gamemode will need different spawn points. Once you are done, you will need to save your map, name it, publish it, and start up a beta test. Here, you can test your map with others, or just watch others play it.
