Welcome back to the neon-drenched chaos of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. In this mission, we’re on a full-frontal run toward the dam facility, a key location in Sloan’s cybernetic operation. This fast-paced mission blends stealth, open combat, explosive sabotage, and those all-too-familiar robotic hounds. If you’re ready to bring the house down—literally—this guide will walk you through every explosive moment.

1. Reaching the Dam

Your first objective is to reach the dam. On the way, you’ll encounter enemy jeeps, animals, and outpost-style engagements. Vehicles can help, but if one gets stuck, just grab another. Don’t be afraid to explore—the map’s red light beacons indicate fast travel points, but due to the DLC’s short length, you may not need to activate many of them.

Use the waypoint system to navigate cleanly—just don’t get too distracted by the side content unless you’re going for 100% completion.

2. Disabling the Alarm

As you approach the dam, your first step is to disable alarms. This is crucial for limiting reinforcements and making the upcoming battle manageable. Once alarms are offline, you can move freely without constant waves of cyber soldiers arriving.

Use cover and tagging to get a clear view of enemy positions. The bow is your best friend for silent takedowns, and it’s possible to eliminate several enemies before being detected. Just watch out for robo-dogs—they can smell you even while stealthed.

3. Retrieve and Plant C4000

Your mission objectives now shift to retrieving C4000—the upgraded version of good ol’ C4. Once acquired, plant charges along the dam’s structural fault lines. These are marked with objective indicators and usually require traversal across platforms and through combat zones.

Expect heavier resistance as you move deeper into the dam. You’ll face enemies including:

• Cybernetic hounds
• Snipers
• Heavy flamer units with glowing, exposed fuel tanks (a not-so-subtle weak point—shoot them!)

Each explosive point triggers dialogue and confirmation. Keep moving until all charges are planted.

4. Combat Tips: Enemies & Tools

• Use tagging to your advantage. Mark every enemy to keep situational awareness high.
• Sniper rifles are great for open space engagements and precision shots.
• Switch to the assault rifle when dealing with fast-moving enemies or in tight quarters.
• When facing heavies, aim for the fuel tanks and explode them before they torch the area.

If you’ve got spare cyber hearts, you can lure Blood Dragons into enemy positions—but this may cause more chaos than it solves unless planned carefully.

5. Detonation and Safe Zone Escape

Once all explosives are in place, your final step is to reach the designated safe zone. Follow the marker—it’s a bit of a climb and may require navigating back through enemy resistance. Once safe, the dam is ready to blow.

Trigger the C4000 detonation and watch the fireworks. The dam collapses in epic fashion, and you’ll have successfully compromised Sloan’s reactor cooling system.

6. Locate the Engineer

With the dam down, your next task is to rendezvous with a civilian engineer inside. He’s marked on your HUD, but expect more resistance along the way, including:

• Cybersoldiers with high health
• Snipers
• Turrets and overhead threats like helicopters

Stick to cover, manage your ammo carefully (especially if you dislike your current loadout), and push through to complete the objective.

Along the way, you’ll find weapon vending machines where you can restock, unlock attachments, and potentially purchase new weapons (though some may be locked until further progress is made).

---

Bonus: Red Barrels & Cyber Heart Distractions

Throughout this mission, explosive red barrels are everywhere. Use them. When overwhelmed, shoot a barrel near a group of enemies or throw a cyber heart to draw a Blood Dragon into a group. This can wipe squads without using your own ammo.

Final Notes

This mission showcases Blood Dragon’s signature blend of absurdity, action, and old-school shooter charm. From C4000 to fuel-tank-flamers to cyber dogs, it’s got all the neon-drenched chaos you could ask for.

So keep tagging, keep shooting, and let the retro-futuristic mayhem roll.

Next stop: sabotage Sloan’s entire operation—one blown-up reactor at a time.
