The Privateer Charger is a type of Privateer wearing a flak vest. The Privateer Charger rushes head first into battle trying to pressure the opposition with a BZ19 sub-machine gun, making them the only type of enemy with submachine gun as primary weapon in Rook Islands. Privateer chargers have two different head pieces wearing either a Mohawk or having no hair at all and unlike Pirate Berserkers with their psychotic behavior, Privateer Chargers appear to act very determined even chasing the enemy out of cover.
Tips/Trivia[]
- Chargers wear moderate flak armor; they can survive more damage than Privateer Assaulters, but not as much damage as Privateer Defenders.
- As the name implies, he will try to overwhelm the player by rushing towards them or by trying to outflank the player. Also, Chargers are more likely to knock you down with the butt of their gun.
- Chargers carry the BZ19, this weapon has a fast rate of fire. It is not effective over long distances, however, so keep your distance when fighting a Charger.
- In Far Cry 3 co-op, their sub-machine guns will be replaced with the M133 shotgun.
- If you look closer, they actually have a 12 Guage Shell bandboiler, sugesting that they were originally wielding shotguns like Berserkers.
- Chargers will rarely take cover.
- Privateer Chargers are weak alone, but in groups can be bothersome since they have midrange Sub-machineguns with large ammo capacity and charge towards the player while being backed up with Privateer Assaulters and Defenders.
- Although the in game manual suggests that Privateers have beheaders (with a picture in the manual) none are encountered in-game. Even though they are cut from the game, Buck Hughes and Hoyt Volker are arguably their boss variants, as both are in the Privateers and both attacked Jason with melee weapons.
Quotes[]
