Quick notes

  • Use the attachment menu for the current problem. Crysis lets you modify compatible weapons in the field.
  • Consider ammunition availability before discarding a rifle. The SCAR is useful early, but FY71 ammunition is common among the KPA.
  • Carry a specialist answer for vehicles or distance. The missile launcher addresses vehicles and helicopters, while precision weapons help across open terrain.
  • Check fire mode and suppressor effects. A suppressor supports quiet approaches but does not make every attack invisible.
