Inside the Mind Tips for Starting Out

Jump to a section!




Dying is Natural

Dying is Normal

Inside the Mind is a roguelite gamemode introduced into the Far Cry series. Here, you are pushed into an unknown map with a single gun, tasked with a near-impossible mission.

Completing the game in your first try will be highly unlikely, but players can always learn something new in failure. While you lose all your cash and inventory items, you can always spend your cash on permanent upgrades such as weapon crates and traits.

Upgrade Your Sidearm

Upgrade Your Sidearm

An easy way to get going in Inside the Mind is to upgrade your sidearm. This is a free weapon that you get early on in the game, and could scale into the mid and late game of Inside the Mind.

Spec Into Pride and Greed First

Spec into Pride and Greed First

Your first priorities in Inside the Mind is to build up your Health pool and increase your mobility options. Allocating money into Pride and Greed will allow you to challenge harder fights overall, and give you more room for exploration.

Spec Into Sloth for Mobility

Spec into Sloth

Pumping points into Sloth will grant your character access to the Wingsuit, Parachute, and Grappling Hook, as well as spawn vehicles in safe areas. This allows players to have faster and more efficient runs.

Unlock Rifles and LMG's

Collect Upgrades

Because this gamemode focuses heavily on gunfights, you will have a hard time trying to sneak your way through every gunfight. Your priorities for unlocking guns should start with Shotguns and SMG's, and ultimately end with Rifles and LMG's.

Explore the Map for Upgrades

Upgrades offer you the edge in combat that turns you into a one-man army. Explore the map, and challenge trials to find upgrades that fit your build, . Upgrades you don't need can be sold for cash, which can then go into more permanent upgrades.

Inside the Mind Endings

Leave Your Mind

Once you complete the main objective, you will need to survive five waves in order to finish the run. Once you do, you have the option to finish the run or stay to fight. Leaving after five waves gives you the ending where you leave your mind.

Stay In Your Mind

Once you have survived the five waves, you can choose to stay in the mind of your character to find closure. You will have to survive three more waves, and defeat a final boss after.

Secret Ending

At Mind Level 5, finishing the run by leaving or staying will result in an alternate ending. Here, you will see or hear voicelines by previous villains and their loved ones, suggesting their true fates after the events of previous Far Cry games.

Inside the Mind Rewards

Gear Set and a Dashboard Prop

Inside the Mind Rewards

Completing challenges will reward players with gear from each villain. Aside from cosmetic purposes, these pieces of gear also provide bonus attributes to your character.

Additionally, finding all chibis on the map will reward players with a dashboard prop of the respective villain. These can be displayed on your Rides.
