Tips[]
- Sometimes, you will come across either 1–2 Rakyat warriors or civilians with a damaged vehicle, asking for your help. After fixing their vehicle with the Repair Tool, they will reward you with $50 for fixing it and drive off.
- It can set wood and foliage on fire. This can be useful to get enemies out of cover, as they will run away from the fire.
- If you get close enough to anyone and use the torch on them it will set them on fire, killing them almost instantly. You will also get an achievement called "Improper Use", which requires you to get a kill with the repair tool.
- The Repair Tool can be seen as a personal defense Flamethrower.
- Although the Repair Tool cannot actually be acquired in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, it can be seen in one of Rex Colt's emergency healing animations, in which he holds the Tool in his organic right hand and uses it on his mechanical left hand.
- In all games after Far Cry 3, the Repair Tool is no longer a purchaseable weapon, and instead is always available to the player from the start of the game. They can only pull it out when a vehicle needs repairs, however it can be kept out and used until it is switched out for another weapon. This makes it far more useful, as being forced to sacrifice a weapon slot for a very situational tool often made it easier to simply find a new, undamaged vehicle over carrying around the tool at all times.
- While it can be used to start fires, the player has to be pressed up directly against a flammable object or crouching while looking straight down, and doing so will immediately set them on fire, making it's use as a firestarting weapon questionable.
