Far cry 2 mortar series#

When you aim (hold down the right mouse button), I find that you need to position the top of the pin in the ring sight a bit below your intended target - probably because the machine gun tends to kick upwards. These are the standard issue in Act 1 and still pretty frequent in Act 2. If you go out by the same route, back to the safe house, you can avoid both the mortar fire and the armed jeeps that turn up if you try and take the road out to the northeast.ДЎ. The kiln can be destroyed either with a grenade or by shooting one of the gas cylinders piled up against it (make sure you are not too close). You can then work your way up to the kiln and will probably only encounter one or two guards on the way. This doesn't seem to attract mortar fire -which you will get if you come in from the eastern side. Once everything is quiet, go down the slope, cross the track below and up the opposite slope and then enter the villiage from the southwest. Brutal, but it had to be done! Ended up with a pile of around eight bodies next to the jeep!

Far cry 2 mortar series#

One was down but still kicking and a series of his mates treid to come and carry him off - so I shot each one in turn. After a while they gave up and went back to their original parking place and I was able to snipe them as they got out of the jeep. I couldn't see them but, from the sounds, they were evidently trying to drive up the slope straight at me. I found that a couple of them manned an armed jeep and came directly for me. After the first shot, the opposition will start running about in crouched positions. You should be able to spot someone standing about. Now take out your sniper rifle and scan the villiage. The advantage of this view point is that it doesn't attract the mortar attack and the slope below you is too steep for vehicles. Your view is partially obscured by a large tree. You should eventually end up on a high, flat shelf of rock overlooking the villiage from the southeast. Keep as high up against the rock wall as you can. Head out westwards on foot from the safe house and work your way around the lump of high ground north of the safe house towards the village.

The way I have found to tackle it is to start from the safe house that is just southeast of the villiage, north of a river fork.

If you arrive in an armed jeep, you cannot stop to man the machine gun because the mortar will get you! If you just try and bull your way through you end up with at least 2 armed jeeps and about 6 men on foot shooting at you and you don't stand a chance! The problem with this mission is that the villiage has loads of troops (about 12 I think) and, if you take tha main approach road that comes to the villiage from the north-east, you come under mortar fire as you get near the villiage. The kiln is in a sort of cave above the main villiage. This is one of the most spectacular settlements in the whole game and consists of large numbers of mud brick huts extending up a very steep slope. One of the missions in Act 2 is to destroy the kiln at the Dogon Cliff Village.
