Change profile name and keep saved files
Use the following trick to get all your saved data transferred to a new folder with whatever name desired. Locate and enter the "\ubisoft\crytek\far cry\profiles\player" folder. This will take you to the profiles found in the game. Find the folder that contains the name that you want to change, and open it. Highlight items inside, including folder, game.cfg file and [name]_profile_placeholder.txt text document. Copy those items and go back to the previous folder. In this screen, right click in an empty area of the screen, highlight "New" and click "Folder" (or use the File/New/Folder menu command). This will create a new folder. Rename the folder to your desired name. Open the new folder and paste the files previously copied. Go back to the previous screen. Copy File [name]_game.cfg and paste in the same screen, then rename the file you just pasted on the screen. Note: Make sure the filename has the same capitalization as the folder you renamed earlier. The file must be in following format, [desired name]_game.cfg. In the same screen copy file [name]_system.cfg and paste in same screen. Rename the file to desired name following this format, [desired name]_system.cfg. Make sure the letters .cfg file extension is included, including the period. Do not erase anything. Play game and make sure it works.

Get different weapons
If you have downloaded the enabled devmode file, open the "devmode.lua" file with a text editor. Look for a line that reads "function AllWeapons()". Underneath it there are lines that read "AddWeapon("[weapon name]");". For example, to get the mutant shotgun edit a line so it says AddWeapon("MutantShotgun");. Note: If you put a weapon that you normally cannot get in the game you will not be able to see it when you pull it up but, you still can shoot it. You may need to use the "999 ammunition" code for ammunition for that weapon.
God Mode
Open devmode.lua in the Far Cry directory and add the following code to the bottom:
function GodMode()
if _localplayer then
_localplayer.cnt.health = 99999;
_localplayer.cnt.armor = 99999;
Hud:AddMessage(''[CHEAT]: Give 99999 health and armor'');
System.LogToConsole(''\001CHEAT: Give 99999 health and armor'');
else
Hud:AddMessage(''[CHEAT]: No godmode today'');
end
end
Then, start the game with the -devmode switch and open the console with the ` key. Type in: #GodMode() and you'll have 99999 health and armor. The normal maximum is 255.
Saving or loading a game will reset the values, though.

Manual Save
It's easy to save anywhere in the game. Just open the console (~ key) and type \save_game. If you can bind the command to an unused key, you will be able to quicksave any time with a press of the button. You may otherwise just type in the command normally each time you want to save. Add -DEVMODE to the end of the executable command line if the save command is not working.
No damage (demo version)
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "gamerules.lua" file in the "/farcrydemo/scripts/default" folder. Find the following line.
"ai_to_player_damage = 1, 1, 1, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5"
and change it to :
"ai_to_player_damage = 0, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0"
Rally Pigs
If you park a buggy in an unsafe spot, such as on a flight of stairs in the Fort level, eventually a pig will get in and drive it back to the road and park it. Be careful, the pig will run you over if you get in the way.
Volcano: Defeating the mercenaries
At the end of the last level, if you are having problems with the final group of mercs protecting Doyle at the top of the stabilizer, the following is an easy way to deal with them. Slowly approach the ramp until you hear the radio chatter confirming they have spawned in above you. Then, back off and look up for the large fuel tanks. You cannot see them, but the mercs are gathered around and behind these tanks. Scatter throw all of your grenades at the tanks. You should have killed or wounded almost all of the mercs, leaving just one or two to deal with upstairs.
