Game manual

The XM29 Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW) is an assault rifle solely making an appearance in Far Cry.

Far Cry

The OICW is an open terrain warfare weapon with an integrated power scope and high explosive grenade launcher. Compared to the G36, its scope is non-adjustable, offering x3 magnification, a compromise over the AG36's dual x2/x4 magnification settings. The weapon's capability for sniping at long range like the AW50 and rapid fire at close-mid range like the M4 makes it one of the most versatile firearms in the game. It is best suited to outdoor terrain where it may be the player's best friend.

The OICW features an integrated grenade launcher which is vastly superior to its AG36 counterpart. The launcher can carry up to 5 grenades in a clip at once, each grenade possessing superior range and a flatter firing arc. This makes the OICW good at rapidly dispatching most types of armored targets or enemies behind cover. It additionally holds 40 rounds in its magazine, better than the 30 round clips used by the M4 or G36.

Obtaining

OICW is first found in the level Boat on a weapon rack in one of the barracks on the second island, where the first antenna mast is located.

Far Cry Classic

In Far Cry Classic, the OICW has been given a new, more detailed model.

Triva

• The real life XM29 OICW was cancelled in 2004, because of multiple issues of the weapon. Later, the weapon was replaced by the XM8 and XM25.
• Judging by the model of the weapon, it is a fusion between 1998 and 2002 models. This indicates that the game may be set in 1998.
