One the most revolutionary games ever to hit the market was undoubtedly Far Cry. With its unmistakable graphic engine and a beautiful one at that, this game set the trend for the next-gen fever, ever if it wasn�t marketed as one. Going through the game was both rewarding and difficult and sometimes required a little luck. The AI made the game one of the hardest in the FPS genre and it�s still standing as a reference point for other titles. All this together begged for some cheats, especially when playing a second time but unfortunately, the developers didn�t really implement some easy way to cheat. The community was hard at work and it wasn�t long until this laborious method appeared:

Find the DevMode.lua file in your Far Cry directory. Use a text editor (Notepad) to open the file and copy all the following contents into the DevMode.lua file (replace all the original contents). Save it as a .lua file when you are done. Remember to back-up the original file before you do this.
