Far Cry 3 Glitches

Animals Walking Over Water Glitch

If you chase docile land animals (like deer) around towards the water, you’ll encounter some funny glitches.
The deer will either get stuck in corners, appear as-if walking on water, or walk into the water a little bit and – instead of swimming back to shore or even slowly drowning – instantly get killed when it gets chased into the water beyond the coastline. If you’re hunting, it’ll certainly save you ammo.

You do the same to attack land animals like luring lions towards the ocean by walking into it yourself.

No Enemies Nor Wildlife Glitch

At some point during the campaign story mode, you’ll have to jump out of an airplane. Once you land, there will be no enemies or wildlife on the map, of course you won’t have any weapons on you for the time being either.
You can use this ‘glitch’ like this: Instead of heading towards the mission objective right away, wait a while and head to any of the Radio Towers, relics or other loot locations and start unlocking them.
