Getting a Far Cry 4 save file right after the first mission is a common move for players who want to bypass the long, unskippable intro and get straight into the open world of Kyrat.  Where Repack Saves Live 

• After escaping Pagan Min’s palace
• After the prologue chopper crash / opening escape
• You wake up in the open world (Kyrat) with basic weapons

Ethical and Legal Considerations Using repacks and third-party save files occupies a gray area. Repack communities often operate outside official distribution channels and may distribute copyrighted material without authorization. Downloading or using repacked game files can infringe the game publisher’s rights and may expose users to malware when sources are unvetted. Similarly, sharing saves can be innocuous, but distributing repacks or bypasses to DRM can carry legal risk. Ethically, players should prefer legitimate copies and verified community resources and avoid encouraging piracy.

Extract and copy the new files (usually named 1.save, 2.save, etc.) into the folder, overwriting the existing ones.

• Explanation: The first mission must be completed uniquely to unlock the third save slot for arena. A post-first-mission save will have Kyrat Fashion Week and Arena unlocked automatically.

Best Practices

Q: Can I transfer a legit Steam save to a repack?
A: Yes, but you must decrypt it first using SteamSaveTool. Legit saves are encrypted with your Steam ID. The repack expects a generic ID (e.g., 00000000). Convert it, or it will appear "corrupted."
