Jack Carver
has left his mysterious and bitter past behind him and dropped out of
society to run a boat-charter business in the South Pacific. He is
hired by Val Cortez to take her secretly to an uncharted island in
Micronesia. After Val takes off on her own with a jet-ski, Jack's boat
is blown apart by a mercenary rocket. Jack manages to escape but is
stranded thousands of miles away from home. With his only friend lost
somewhere in the depths of the jungle, he must now find his way back to
civilization. The mercenary commander, Col. Richard Crowe, gives orders
to his men find Jack as his body has not yet turned up.
With the help of a mysterious man named Harlan Doyle, Jack travels
across the various islands, battling mercenaries in search for Val,
searching a beached Japanese aircraft carrier, knocking out their
satellite communications, and destroying a mercenary camp ammo depot.
Through encounters with the Trigens (genetically altered primates)
and information from Doyle, Jack soon discovers that the island is part
of an experiment involving genetic modification. As the game progresses
it becomes clear that the Trigens are becoming too large a problem for
the mercenaries to handle, breaking through security perimeters and
massacring the guards and workers. Furthermore, the experiments are not
limited to just primates (gorillas or monkeys), but moved on to
mutating humans in order to create the ultimate soldier.
When Jack finally catches up with Val, she is being taken to another
area by a helicopter. Jack attempts to stop the helicopter and Val
manages to escape. After swimming to shore, she reveals that she is
Valerie Constantine, an undercover CIA
agent and is investigating Krieger's operations. Val then suggests that
the two of them split up in order to better investigate the islands.
After further exploration, Jack must again search for and rescue
Val. This is made increasingly difficult as more Trigens have escaped,
some of them with powerful weaponry, and have begun a revolt against
the mercenaries on the island. As a result Krieger has called his
personal elite special forces to control the situation, and Jack must
battle them to reach Val. After that they split up again, and reunite
shortly after Jack kills the mercenary commander, Richard Crowe. The
information that Crowe had with him indicates Krieger has a tactical nuclear weapon
on the island. Val further discloses that Doyle was sent by the CIA to
infiltrate Krieger's research under the guise of a lab technician.
After the Department of Defense has supposedly analyzed the
situation, Jack and Val steal the tactical nuclear weapon Krieger had
intended to use as a last resort in covering his tracks, should his
projects be investigated. Jack seems uncomfortable about setting off a
nuclear weapon, but Val assures him, "it's only a tactical nuke, just
enough to take out the factory and the base. By the time it goes off
we'll be upwind and out of range." Before entering the factory Doyle
warns that the mutagen might infect them when the blast goes off, and
advises them to take some antidote before arming the nuke. Inside the
factory, he directs them to inject themselves with serum from a red box
with a biohazard symbol on it. They do so and arm the nuke, which
detonates directly behind Jack and Val as they exit the factory,
leaving them unconscious.
While Jack and Val are unconscious, Krieger has visited the site,
and abducted them. Jack wakes up on a helicopter with Krieger and Val.
Krieger has lost his mind. He points out all the mercenaries being
killed by Trigens below and considers it a vision of the future, he is
told he as human cannot possibly endure and is kicked off by an elite
guard as Krieger says "survival of the fittest, good luck!" On the
ground, he finds a rifle has been tossed out as well, with 10 bullets.
The player, as Jack, now has to fight through the trigen infested area
to rescue Val — for the third time — and escape the islands with his
life. His task is made easier, as the Trigens have broken through the
security perimeter. Upon reaching a mercenary weapons cache, Jack
notices his arm is turning green. Doyle responds, "The antidote should
have been able to handle it, but the explosion could have saturated the
air with mutagen. That's what happened to Dr. Krieger. He developed a
serum to keep it from spreading, and he's still on the treatment." Jack
is thus directed to find Krieger.
Due to the chaos between the Mercenary-Trigen battles, Jack ascents
the volcanic slopes to reach the headquarters, where Krieger had
apparently found a way to prevent the eruption and harness the lava
flows for energy. After defeating the scientist, the plot twists. Jack
asks a mortally-wounded Krieger where the antidote is, and Krieger
responds "Who infected you? The mutagen can only be administered
through sub-dermal injection. I wish I could take credit, but I had no
time to prepare the serum. You should turn out to be a beautiful
specimen. Give it another hour... much less for her [Val]." Then Doyle
comes up on the nearby volumetric display and says "The old man was
always one for melodrama. Too bad he had no head for business," and
reveals the 'antidote' they took earlier was the very mutagen they were
trying to protect themselves from. He also remarks that "Working for
the government taught me that where there's a weapon, there's money to
be made." Jack resolves that Doyle will not leave the island without
handing over the antidote and carries a weakened Val up to the docks.
He then heads back into the facility.
In the crater of the volcano, with Krieger's lava harnessing system
damaged and eruption imminent, Jack battles through a horde of Trigens
angry at him for killing their "father" (Krieger - this is why Doyle
needed Jack to kill Krieger). Jack then finishes off the Elite Special
Forces guarding Doyle, likely among the last humans left on the island
as they stood back from fighting the Trigens. A cornered Doyle tries to
explain the situation saying, "You don't understand. They sent
me. They're all watching. They're always watching. You can't change
this. You can't change the future," to which Jack replies, "Probably
not, but I can make sure you're not a part of it!" and shoots Doyle,
killing him. "Stupid bastard," Jack remarks.
Jack then escapes just before the volcano erupts, using a blast door
to shield himself from the initial explosive gases. Both he and Val
make it off the island in a sailboat, just as the eruption destroys
what is left of Krieger's labs. Jack, having already administered the
antidote on himself, proceeds to cure Val of the mutagen. The ending
cutscene shows Val looking at a thick folder of papers and two CDs tied
together labeled "Project Far Cry" (in French, it is labeled "Project Mutant").
