Stealth is rewarded with extra Cyber Points, the equivalent of Experience Points. Side missions involve liberating garrisons, killing rare animals, and saving hostages. Players will find themselves using high powered explosives, heavily modified firearms, and a large knife in order to kill their way through the main missions. The gameplay is open world, first-person shooter, with the same vehicles from Far Cry 3. The skill tree, instead of a chosen path down three "ways of the animal", is replaced with a simpler leveling system that automatically unlocks benefits. Gameplay, though akin to Far Cry 3, using the same engine and general mechanics, is streamlined to provide a more linear experience. Blood Dragon is a stand-alone expansion of Far Cry 3, meaning players do not need the original game to play it.
