The Pirate Heavy Gunner is a type of Pirate in Far Cry 3, who uses brute force to compensate for low mobility. Unlike their Privateer Heavy Gunner counterparts, they do not have very good gear (as one can see by his welding mask and the lack of padding below the waist line). Heavy Gunners are the strongest type of Pirates, and are also one of the most difficult enemies to kill throughout the game.
The only variant of Heavy Gunner
Tips
- Pirate Heavy Gunners are the second most durable enemy type in the game, able to survive about 50 to 60 assault rifle rounds to the torso before dying.
- The weakest point of the Heavy Gunner is his mask, so try to get headshots with a shotgun or sniper rifle.
- The back of the Heavy Gunner's head is completely without armour allowing you to kill him with a single headshot without having to destroy his mask first.
- The Pirate Heavy Gunner's legs and arms are also without armour, but it still takes a very large number of shots to these areas to kill them.
- They cannot be killed with a normal Takedown; the only takedown that will work is the Heavy Beatdown.
- Fire can lower the health of a Heavy Gunner quickly. Molotov Cocktails and Flamethrowers are most useful.
- A well-placed explosive will do as well.
- A single Flame Arrow will make short work of a Heavy.
- A direct shot from a Flare Gun will kill them instantly.
- The Ripper makes quick work of them when headshot. The bullets go through their mask.
- The DShK which is mounted on a jeep, can kill a Heavy Gunner in 1-3 Headshots, if you kill a Heavy gunner with a headshot, you will get 200 xp points.
