Map

Claes Products, also referred to on the in-game map as the Chemical Corporation, and in missions as the "chemical dump", is a location in Far Cry 2.

History

The site is a small chemical plant located in the southern sector of the Leboa-Sako district.

Judging by its name, it was most likely owned by a European chemical corporation, not unlike the Occidental Growers Company. Like many other companies in the Unnamed African Country, the plant probably closed down shortly after the civil war began. A while later, the APR would arrive and convert the abandoned site into an outpost. The presence of a set of railway tracks indicates that this company may have used them to import supplies and export products out of the country.

A few characters in-game refer to it as the "chemical dump." Besides the obvious fact that it is a chemical plant, taking one quick look at the place and it quickly becomes apparent as to why. Chemical spills are everywhere, so much so that a pond nearby is heavily polluted by them. Empty barrels can be found in and beside the water, suggesting that the company deliberately dumped chemicals into the water to dispose of them.

Layout

The main layout of the outpost consists of a large warehouse next to a pair of railway tracks. Abandoned train cars lie abandoned on the tracks. A small building decorated with APR insignia can be found directly to the south of the warehouse. There are a couple of water falls to the west, and a few small ponds to the west and south. The aforementioned chemical-polluted pond is located directly behind the warehouse. It is connected to a small stream that wraps around the warehouse. Derailed train cars and rusted containers can be seen around it.

Inside the warehouse is a diamonds case on top of a destroyed truck.

Towards the west of this area, inside the U-shaped cliffs surrounding Claes Products, there is Hang Glider — one of two in the game that are not needed to reach a diamond case.

There are two hidden paths that can be taken to reach the outpost. One of them is a small path that goes through a set of cliffs. It is located directly behind the plant to the north. The other is a really narrow path located right beside the train tracks. Using it is a great way to avoid the guard post located near the plant.

Role in-game

If you subvert the mission Destroy the red pumps in the greenhouse, you have to come here and steal a cylinder of defoliant and take it to your buddy at the airfield. Your buddy will spray it from the air on the Occidental Growers Company to get rid of the vegetation.

Trivia

• "Claes" is a first name commonly found in Nordic countries, such as Sweden, Norway and Denmark. It is also a common last name in Belgium. This suggests that the company that owned this chemical plant could've originally been from northern Europe.
