Ubisoft released a new video, showing the wide array of tools of destruction you'll be able to employ during your adventures in Far Cry 4.

The company's upcoming open world first-person shooter is bound to make some waves when it launches, in no small part due to the variety of ways you can get rid of your enemies.

Set in the Himalayas, Far Cry 4 is a bounty of fresh action set to some gorgeous backdrops, and just like Far Cry 3's tropical setting enhanced the experience and offered novel gameplay interactions, the next installment in the series too shall take advantage of the new locale.

The video introduces an arsenal with a lot of local flavor, including the kukri blade, a Nepalese knife with an inwardly curved edge. A sturdy machete, the kukri can cut, chop, slash, hack, split, scrape, crush, hammer, and stab your opponents like no other.

Other items on the menu include a wide variety of automated machine guns, as well as some nastier tricks, such as throwing pieces of meat into enemy encampments and then popping some popcorn in the oven and watching nature take its course.

Although it's nice to wreak havoc with flame launchers and high-caliber machine guns, the greatest weapon of all will be a biological one: a rampaging elephant.

Far Cry 4 is scheduled to come out on November 18, headed to PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
