Far Cry: Primal
Far Cry Primal Weekly Screenshot Challenge #3 - Tribes of Oros! - CLOSED
Attention all Wenja, Udam and Izila!
Today, we’re happy to announce our third and final screenshot challenge for Far Cry Primal!
You’ve somehow managed to survive the harsh climates of Oros, and withstood the worst that the wildlife of this land had to offer. But now, it’s time to get up close and personal with the tribes of Oros.
For this final week, we’d like some pictures of the tribes that are battling throughout this land to call it their home!
Whether it’s the peaceful Wenja, the brutal Udam or the cunning Izila, we’re sure that you’ll be able to take pictures from each of the tribes. If you survive the encounters, well that’s a different story altogether!
Remember to continue to get inventive with your pictures. Maybe you’ve grabbed a crazed picture of Tensay around the camp fire, or caught a glimpse of Ull before he smashes you to pieces. Either way, we cannot wait to see what you’ve found.
In order for everyone to see your fantastic creations, please be sure to submit your photo's below, or on our Facebook Page or Twitter, using the hashtag #PrimalPics
Some of you Primal photographers may even receive a selection of Far Cry goodies!
So go forth all budding Primal photographers! Head into the wilds and impress us with pictures you take!

Nothing looks quite as majestic as a woolly mammoth with the sun setting in the distance. This great shot by DGH_Blackwolf looks superb and shows off a great use of both the environment and lighting.

The dark of night is undoubtedly one of the biggest things any Wenja will have to deal with when traversing the wilds of Oros. But as this picture from @T3RR4N0R shows off, with the right companion, you should have nothing to fear!
Congratulations to our top contributors, who will each receive a selection of Far Cry Primal related goodies!
We’ll be announcing our next weekly challenge very soon. In the meantime, keep taking pictures of your journey throughout Oros!

A friendly fire, along with the foreboding light of the moon gives this picture an ominous feeling. What could be lurking in the forests of Oros? ShouvanikS’ fantastic picture makes our number three pick.

Survivor Mode - Exclusive First Look!
Our community team is live on Twitch with an exclusive first look at the upcoming Survivor mode in Far Cry Primal! Can you survive this brutal new experience?

Announcing Survivor Mode for Far Cry Primal
Far Cry Primal is about to become a lot more ruthless. A brutal new way to play, Survivor Mode, will arrive as a free patch on April 12. Included with this update will also be a high stakes permadeath option. Enabling permadeath means your game is over the first time you die.
Permadeath is only the beginning. Survivor mode adds a stamina gauge, the minimap is now turned off by default, and the fog of war has been strengthened. Even fast travel is a little tougher, as it now consumes stamina and food.
To top it all off, taming beasts is becoming much more difficult. Some animals will need to be brought down to half-life before they can be baited and tamed. Make sure to take care of your pets since animals who die are gone for good. While you can always tame another leopard or wolf, creatures like the Bloodfang Sabretooth can't ever be brought back once lost.
If you go for the ultimate challenge – activating Survivor mode, playing on expert difficulty and activating permadeath – you have the hardest and most insane challenge possible for the game. There's a special reward at the moment you complete the game for anyone insane enough to complete this challenge. Survivor mode will be available as a free patch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on April 12th.
Tune in on April 7th to watch the exclusive first look at the survivor mode on http://www.twitch.tv/ubisoft
Can you survive?
