Far Cry secondary weapons guide including the 9mm Auto, Bull 44, G18, and AM9, detailing stats and availability.

9mm Auto

This is your starting weapon in Far Cry and is also the main weapon dropped by enemies early in the game. Headshots are fairly easy to achieve with this weapon, making it effective for precise aiming. Firing at other body parts will not inflict significant damage.

  • Range: **
  • Power: **
  • Reload: ***
  • Rate of Fire: **
  • Max Ammo (per clip): 15
  • Max Clips: 4
  • Dual Wield (Akimbo): Yes

9mm (w/Silencer)

While stealth plays a minor role in Far Cry, silenced pistols can be useful in specific situations. This weapon uses the same ammunition as the standard 9mm Auto, so no separate ammo management is required.

  • Range: **
  • Power: **
  • Reload: ***
  • Rate of Fire: **
  • Max Ammo (per clip): 15
  • Max Clips: 4
  • Dual Wield (Akimbo): Yes

The Bull 44 is the most powerful secondary weapon available in Far Cry. Each shot delivers substantial impact, regardless of where it hits an enemy.

  • Rate of Fire: **
  • Max Ammo (per clip): 7
  • Max Clips: 9
  • Dual Wield (Akimbo): Yes

AM9

The AM9 stands out as the only handgun in Far Cry offering rapid fire. Its ammunition can be depleted quickly if you tend to hold down the trigger. It is effective for maintaining constant pressure on a single enemy, similar to a rapid-fire primary weapon.

  • Range: **
  • Power: *
  • Reload: ***
  • Rate of Fire: *****
  • Max Ammo (per clip): [Not Specified]
  • Max Clips: [Not Specified]

Tips
  • The 9mm Auto is effective for headshots (a critical hit to the head) due to its accuracy.
  • The Bull 44 is recommended when you need maximum stopping power from a secondary weapon.
  • The AM9 is ideal for suppressing enemies with a high volume of fire.
  • Consider dual-wielding (Akimbo) pistols like the 9mm Auto or G18 for increased firepower.
