Weapon preparation
Crysis 3 supports weapon customization in the field. A scope, suppressor or other compatible attachment changes how a weapon fits an approach. Check the available choices on that weapon rather than assuming every gun accepts every attachment.
| Choice | Useful purpose | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Distant identification and aiming | Suit the sightline. |
| Suppressor | Reduce firing noise | Read the weapon tradeoff. |
| Alternate fire | Different attack behavior | Confirm selected mode. |
| Bow arrowhead | Special target counter | Confirm ammunition before drawing. |
Suit module planning
Nano upgrade kits unlock suit modules, and equipped modules can improve further when their specified tasks are completed. The four-slot limit makes specialization meaningful: a stealth set and a direct-combat set solve different problems.
| Step | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Find a Nano kit | Collect the upgrade resource | Unlocks module choices. |
| Open module menu | Read cost and effect | Kits are limited. |
| Equip up to four | Match the encounter | Slots are the constraint. |
| Complete module task | Earn its upgraded effect | Unlocking alone is not the full upgrade. |
Save a specialist for a specialist target
A bow, ordinary firearm and heavier found weapon do not share the same ammunition economy. Use a commonly supplied firearm for routine fighting, while reserving rare effects for a vehicle, an armored enemy or a dense group.
Use terrain to support the build
A precision loadout works best with a clear view and an escape route. A close-range loadout needs cover between positions. Modules enhance the plan, but they cannot compensate for crossing a guarded space with no energy left.
