« The P416 is a modern take on a classic weapon. It has a blistering rate of fire and solid accuracy. »

In-Game Description

« Sometimes gun makers get it right the first time around and sometimes they blow their kangaroos off, pardon my French. This time they got it right. The P416 assault rifle is an improved version of a renowned but flawed weapon. It’s not cheap. It’s deadly, reliable, and worth every penny. »

Survival Guide

The P416 is an assault rifle in Far Cry 3.

Far Cry 3[]

In Far Cry 3, this is the primary weapon of choice for Privateer Assaulters, Privateer Defenders and Privateer Recruits. It is initially available in the main story mission Warrior Rescue Service mission where Privateers appear in the game, wielding this weapon. If picked up, it will not be lost after death or saves, but will not be available in stores until the second island. This weapon becomes free after deactivating 15 Radio Towers. Since there are just 11 Radio Towers in North Rook Island, this requires reaching South Rook Island, specifically, completing the mission Fly South first, if the players don't want to spend money or kill privateers.

It has a very short barrel, but has the same range as the other assault rifles, and features a high rate of fire and low recoil pattern with moderate damage. Its high rate of fire demands exacting marksmanship and trigger discipline to avoid running out of ammunition. Firing in short bursts is therefore recommended.

Signature Version[]

« A customized P416 with optical scope, extended magazine, suppressor, and custom paint. Enhanced for accuracy and damage. »

In-Game Description

A signature version called the Bushman, with an extended magazine, a suppressor and a marksman sight equipped can be unlocked by deactivating all 18 Radio Towers throughout the game. Since there are just 11 Radio Towers in North Rook Island, it can only be unlocked after reaching South Rook Island, specifically, after completing the mission Fly South, which would also make it available for purchase at the shops. It costs $3800. The Bushman is one of only three assault rifles in the game that are available with a suppressor, and the only fully automatic one of those three (the standard P416 cannot be equipped with a suppressor). It also has the longest range and third highest damage of any assault rifle in the game, only being surpassed by the ACE and the MS16 in the damage category. The weapon description erroneously states that it uses an optical scope, and while in-game magnification is the same as that of an optical scope, it uses the marksman sight (ACOG) model and reticle.

Paint Jobs[]

The look of P416 could be customized with one of six available paint schemes. Each scheme costs $200 and does not affect weapon performance.
