"This is Africa", - meaning go with the flow/don't expect anything to run on schedule/enjoy life. The facts and lifestyle in Africa show that most of the people living there are trapped, really unselfish or up for quick cash (I of course mean the problematic part of Africa and not the safe regions like South Africa). Meaning that they will betray anybody for the right amount of money. Each case can contain one to three diamonds, though most cases will only contain one diamond.Firstly, why do all my buddies suddenly betray me? Luckily all the Diamond Cases you find are clearly marked on your map with a blue diamond, once found, as a reminder. Each Zone (1x1 km² area) shows a diamond counter in the top left of the map, making it clear how many diamonds you will need to find. So if you think that the map is showing a 'gap' for a diamond case somewhere, chances are very high that you will find one there. To 'earn' diamonds you can either take on main missions from the factions APR or UFLL, or go out into the African landscape and look for the so-called Diamond Cases - suitcases that send out a homing signal that your GPS can track at short distance (radius of about 40 meters, the player's green map location marker defines the distance, if its pointer 'touches' the diamond case, the GPS will respond).Ī total of 221 Diamond Cases are quite regularly spread out in the world for Far Cry 2. Diamonds also let you purchase all sorts of useful Upgrades, that improve weapons, let you carry more ammo, help you more quickly repair vehicles, and a few other things.

These are used to buy new weapons from arms dealers in Weapon Shops, since the weapons you 'find' in the game rust quickly and jam. The only relevant currency in Far Cry 2 are diamonds, apparently raw diamonds.
