Reader's Guide
The dynamic weather system and day-night cycle affect gameplay. Completing missions during day-time allows players to spot enemies easily, while night offers better concealment and easier infiltration due to some guardsmen being asleep. Players can use vehicles such as dirt bikes, helicopters, and dune buggies, and can parachute from helicopters.
