This makes it a bit more difficult, and while it may put some off, it does add greater value to your discoveries.<\/p>\n<p>Enemies are also outfitted in camouflage gear, making them harder to spot from their original bright-red getups.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re looking to turn Far Cry 3\u2019s fetching missions into a real challenge of exploration, then check out <a href=\" http:\/\/farcry.nexusmods.com\/mods\/63\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ziggy\u2019s mod<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-fL0J_1N2YU\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/farcry.nexusmods.com\/mods\/63\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ziggy\u2019s mod\u00a0<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related Articles<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/48564-far-cry-3-review.html\">Far Cry 3 review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/48164-5-best-video-game-islands.html\">5 best video game islands<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/48284-far-cry-3-customisable-hud-patch-incoming.html\">Far Cry 3 customisable HUD patch incoming<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/48032-far-cry-3-pc-gamers-battle-server-issues-at-launch.html\">Far Cry 3 PC gamers battle server issues at launch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ziggy\u2019s mod embraces the true element of island survival<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":52242,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2365,9393,21,1512,5979,733,9394],"class_list":["post-52241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","tag-far-cry-3","tag-far-cry-3-mod","tag-headline","tag-mod","tag-pc-mod","tag-ubisoft","tag-ziggys-mod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52241"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52243,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52241\/revisions\/52243"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
