Fans uncover yet another secret ending for Far Cry 4

After a series of cryptic tweets from creative director Alex Hutchinson, fans have uncovered yet another secret ending in Far Cry 4. The first one was discovered to be a cheeky easter egg that can play out very close to the game’s beginning (beware of spoilers, though). The new ending is found at the other end of the game, right by the actual ending. Needless to say, spoilers are ahead for this one as well.

The hunt began when Hutchinson followed up an acknowledgement of the first secret ending with a tantalizing hint, noting that “they didn’t find the super secret alternate ending that requires to to make a snap decision and creates a whole new mini-location.”

Fans grilled Hutchinson over the following week until he narrowed it down further, noting that one fan was close: “Big change as yet undiscovered is right at the end…”

The second ending is possible in a narrow window at the end of the game. After taking Pagan Min’s compound, you have the opportunity to let him fly away to safety by helicopter. If you have a grenade or rocket launcher ready, you can shoot him down instead, causing a dramatic explosion and a fade to black with the words “The king is dead” before the credits start to roll.

Once the credits are done you can jump back into the game. Blow open the door to Min’s compound and head up the hill. Eventually you will happen upon the site of the downed helicopter with Min’s corpse laying beside it. You can loot the body for the golden pen that Min used to kill one of his men in the opening sequence of the game in addition to a lapel pin worth a hefty sum.

The crash site is probably the “mini-location” to which Hutchinson alluded, though some fans think that there might be more secrets still waiting to be found. Eurogamer’s Ian Higton has created this excellent and thorough video demonstrating the ending and speculating about the secret location. What do you think?

Far Cry is a phenomenal game from Ubisoft’s Montreal studio: an energetic open-world playground that brims over with emergent potential. The fictional sub-Himalayan dictatorship of Kyrat that serves as the setting is a living, dangerous thing. Your actions can affect it, but life there continues on with or without your input. How tragic, then, that a world so full of life is constantly obstructed by its own, cancerous plotline. Far Cry 4’s story is idiotic, heavy-handed in all the worst ways, and filled with characters that are either morons or monsters.

Despite Alder Lake launch, Intel isn’t ditching DDR4 yet
Pins on Core i9-12900K.

Although Intel has debuted DDR5 on desktops with the launch of Alder Lake, the company won't be ditching DDR4 any time soon. A new rumor suggests that Intel will continue supporting DDR4 on its 13th-gen Raptor Lake platform, which is currently expected to launch in the second half of 2022.

The news comes from esteemed leaker Moore's Law is Dead, who has a lengthy track record of accurate AMD, Nvidia, and Intel leaks. He says that the platform will support DDR4 and DDR5, just like Alder Lake does. That's great for builders who are upgrading now but can't stomach the price of a DDR5 kit.

Far Cry 6 Supremo Backpack Guide: All backpack abilities and where to find them
Two Far Cry 6 players shoot in co-op.

You can play stealthy, guns blazing, or some combination of the two in Far Cry 6. The open-world nature of the game lets you tackle objectives as you see fit, so long as it involves killing everyone in your path, that is. To facilitate this mass carnage, all in the name of freeing Yara from the clutches of an evil dictator mind you, you will be given many tools of destruction and mayhem. Guns will be your standard, faithful method for dishing out justice, but they're far from your only option. A new tool that Far Cry 6's protagonist has access to almost right away is the Supremo Backpack, which can instantly turn the tides of a firefight in your favor.

Supremo Backpacks come in many different forms, seven to be exact, and each has its own ability. Some are more offensive-focused, while others have more support or situational uses, but all are very powerful and worth collecting. Each ability has a meter that must be charged to use it, either by waiting or filling it up faster by getting kills with your traditional weaponry. You will be given one automatically, but the rest have to be unlocked and purchased. The only exception is the final Supremo, which you need to go out of your way to find. If you want to be fully equipped to face the Yaran military forces, follow our guide here on all the Supremo Backpack abilities and how to get them in Far Cry 6.
