About Just Cause 3

Just Cause™ 3 drops players into the Mediterranean republic of Medici, a sprawling island ruled by General Di Ravello. As Rico Rodriguez you must dismantle the dictator’s grip using any means the game provides.

The title offers more than 400 square miles of open world, vertical freedom from sky‑dives to free‑dives, and a large arsenal of weapons, gadgets and vehicles for creating chaotic, explosive moments.

01 / THE GUIDE

Open World Exploration

Medici covers over 400 square miles of Mediterranean island terrain, ranging from mountains to harbours and underwater areas. The world contains military bases, prisons, police stations and communications facilities that can be approached from any direction.

The game is marked as playable without timed input, allowing players to move at their own pace. This design encourages discovery of hidden locations and scattered collectibles across the landscape.

  • Use the in‑game map to locate challenge missions before heading into combat.
  • Take advantage of the lack of timed input to explore remote corners safely.

02 / THE GUIDE

Mobility Tools

Rico can skydive, BASE jump, free‑dive and glide with a wingsuit, providing multiple ways to approach targets from above. The grapple and parachute let him scale buildings, hijack vehicles and tether objects together.

These tools combine to enable rapid movement across mountains, urban areas and water, supporting both combat encounters and creative chaos without imposing speed limits.

  • Combine the grapple with the parachute to reach high rooftops quickly.
  • Tether objects before detonating explosives for larger chain reactions.

Combat Arsenal

The game supplies a wide range of explosive weaponry, including shotguns, missile launchers, tank‑busters and the option to call in air‑strikes. These tools are intended for destroying enemy installations and creating large‑scale chaos.

Weapons can be paired with mobility tools, allowing attacks from unexpected angles and enabling players to adapt to varied combat situations.

  • Use missile launchers to target distant communication facilities.
  • Deploy air‑strikes after tethering multiple structures for maximum impact.

Vehicle Variety

Players can commandeer speedboats, jets, helicopters, turbo‑fuelled sports cars and super bikes. Each vehicle type offers distinct speed and handling characteristics for land, sea and air travel.

Switching between vehicles lets players match terrain, chase targets or escape hostile forces, reinforcing the sense of freedom described by the developers.

  • Switch to a jet for rapid traversal over large water bodies.
  • Use a speedboat to approach harbours before boarding enemy ships.
