5 Just Cause 3 tips to help Rico cause havoc!
Earn points and get the most out of Rico's upgraded grappler and new wingsuit in Just Cause 3.
Momentum Madness
The first real thing you’re going to want to do is understand how to navigate the world with the grappler, parachute and wingsuit. There are a wide array of vehicles in the game, but if you find yourself in a tight spot while raiding a base, the fastest way to get out is to grapple up to a high place, then while you’re reeling in, use that momentum to propel your parachute, and then get the wingsuit out to fall with the utmost style. This method has saved our neck more than a few times and it could do for you too!
Conquer Challenges
The easiest way to get more points for upgrading your current gear with incredible mods is to conquer the challenges peppered throughout Medici’s provinces. From flying in wingsuit courses to racing cars, the better you perform in these challenges, the more points you’ll earn, enabling you to unlock some of the most fun weapons and abilities in the game. You’re going to want to get these as quickly as possible, so take on every challenge you see, and the rewards will pay off soon enough.
Tether Tantrum
One of the best ways that we’ve earned points for the most destruction was when we didn’t shoot a single bullet. The grappler has a feature which enables you to tether objects to each other twice and apply tension! This can make for some pretty amazing moments; for example, we attached an explosive barrel to a car, which was then planted with an explosive on a bridge - needless to say the bridge went down in a blaze of glory. Try it for yourself!

Wingsuit Wizardry
Another, slightly hidden thing in Just Cause 3 is the scoreboard for various challenges, including the ‘longest wingsuit flight’. We’re currently sitting at the top of the scoreboard with a cool 9 minutes, but that’s no easy feat. To get to the top of the scoreboard on the wingsuit challenge you have to make your way to the top of the biggest mountain in the game (easily visible from any point in the map) and look for the right place to base jump off it. After that, just pull the analog stick all the way back, giving you the most air resistance, thus prolonging your wingsuit run. Good luck!
Gravitational Greatness
Just Cause 3 has some pretty amazing destruction physics that are reminiscent of Red Faction. Playing around with some of the more destructible environments like the dictator statues (attach your grappler hook to it) can lead to some incredibly hilarious results and boost your score up significantly.
Also, if you manage to tether a plane to a bridge, it can yield incredibly good results. The key is to play around with everything you see as you’ll never know what might smash into a million pieces or not!
