In order to get 100% completion, complete the Outpost missions before starting the final mission in Story mode. The Outpost missions cannot be played after completing the final mission, and are required for 100% completion.

Easy money glitch:
An easy way to get money in level 3 is to keep repeating the Winching challenge while wagering the highest amount possible. Stack the three crates in a pile with one on top of the other with toolbox on top. Wait a few seconds and you will receive the money.

Nuclear Bunker Busters:
Eva will sell Nuclear Bunker Busters after you kill Salano.

In to the green zone easy complete:
To easily complete "In to the Green Zone", buy a Helicopter at the store and fly it to the VIP.

Car bomb:
Attach C4 to your car. Drive toward your target at max speed, then jump out and detonate when the car is close to the target.

Scope cheat for regular weapons:
While in Scope mode with the .50 cal rifle change weapons. You will remain in Scope mode with the gun you change to.

Swimming underwater:
To swim underwater, crash a helicopter into the water. Exit and grapple on to it. You will sink to the bottom and will be able to swim for a short period of time.

Repair vehicle:
To repair a vehicle, leave it outside a building and then enter the building.

Stealing Faction's fuel:
To steal fuel tanks without being caught, fly a chopper used by the Faction that you are stealing from to where their fuel tanks are and winch one. The Faction will not attack you if you use one their choppers. Take the fuel to a neutral spot, and call Ewan to have it picked up.

Winning challenges easily:
Bet the maximum money for the level 1 and 2 challenges then save and reload the game until you win. Bet the minimum money for the level 3 challenge.

Easy transport and smuggling missions:
Note: This trick only works after you get a helicopter pilot and the winch ability. When on a transport or smuggling contract that relies on you not tipping the vehicle and losing the objects inside, summon a helicopter before entering the mission assigned vehicle, as close to the vehicle as possible. Then, enter the mission vehicle. The timer will start. Get back out and take off in your helicopter. Use the winch to grab the mission vehicle and gain as much altitude as possible. If you fly relatively level, you will not lose anything. However even if you bank slightly to get around obstacles, losses will be minimal as long as you do not actually bank the copter in a hard turn. The vehicle will get tossed about, making the copter harder to fly; but if you travel directly to the drop-off point from the beginning, it will keep its cargo. This helps you avoid nearly all ground forces. All you have to worry about are the anti-air guns and other helicopters. If worst comes to worst, simply drop the vehicle after coming down to about 20 feet or less. You will have already have saved enough time to hijack another helicopter.

How to defeat Carmona:
When Carmona's men are attacking the PMC, after you destroy the tanks set a charge of C4 on the gates closer to the mansion and blow it. It should drop straight down and block the road leading out of the compound. Enter the mansion and trigger the intermission sequence. When you exit the building, the road leading out of the compound is still blocked. Kill Carmona's bodyguards and his jeep should be stuck on the rubble of the archway. Kill him and snap the picture for easy verification of Carmona.

When completing the mission on the oil rig in the water behind the PMC, kill Blanco and take his weapon, the hunting pistol. The hunting pistol is a very powerful weapon, often killing enemies in one shot. With the hunting pistol in your possession, continue through the "Finding Solano" mission/ After the encounter with Carmona inside the villa, he runs in a straight line directly away from you, giving you a clear shot at his back. If you miss on the first shot, he has a good bit of a jog until he reaches his jeep, giving you plenty of time to gun him down.

Easy money:
After completing the first UP mission and receiving Ewan, talk to him about the Winch challenge. After completing level 3 on this challenge, bet the maximum amount of money. Even though you have already done this, the height will not raise. You can continue betting the maximum amount. After about four times , you should have about $7.0 million. You can continue from here in order to get the maximum wager amount to $5.0 million when you have about $14.0 million in funds. Repeat as desired.

Note: To save time, if you are trying to use the above method to increase your money, use stackable items from outside of your stronghold. For example, try the gas canisters across the road. Items used from outside of your stronghold stay in the exact location you put them until you quit your game, giving you a prepared stack height the next time around. Also regarding the bet amount, once you go over $10 million, you only receive $1 million at first and slowly increases.

Once you have obtained your helicopter pilot, he will supply a bet, wagering that you cannot stack enough things to get the toolbox above the displayed height. This wager is easy and the money goes up by about $2,000 each time you play.

Find a Cash Bundle out in the field. Make sure you are in an area with lots of open room. If not, call in a helicopter and take the money to a safe area. Tag it and call it in. When Ewen picks it up and you are credited for the find, shoot the money crate. You can do this by any means necessary (for example, use a nearby armed combat chopper, wait for Ewen to get there, then shoot the crate after getting the credit). Money should rain down on the ground around you. Run around and collect it all for an added bonus of roughly $50,000. The bits that scatter across the ground are worth about $5,000 each.

Capture outposts quickly:
When playing in Co-op mode with a friend, look in the same direction at the same time. Throw the signal smoke to call in for reinforcements to capture an outpost. If timed correctly, both of the thrown signal smokes will start to smoke and two helicopters will appear.

Billboards:
Unlock the P.L.A.V. faction and get a gunship with rockets, such as a Castro V Attack chopper or an Anaconda from the pirates (carries about 80 rockets). Fly to the city of Merida and shoot the billboards to earn $5,000. If you shoot enough of them you begin to unlock more shop items from the P.L.A.V. and a few things from the U.P. mercenaries in their city. Only one rocket is required to destroy a billboard. It only takes 1 rocket from a gunship to destroy the billboards.

Pick-up multiple items at once:
Go to all the items you want to pick-up that are in range and select them all. Once all items are selected, throw your resource pick-up smoke. The helicopter should pick-up one item, but all other items will disappear letting you know you have them.

Easy money glitch:
Start the Winching challenge on level 1, 2, or 3. Bet as much as desired. Get in the helicopter, pick up the toolbox, then hold X to fly directly up while remaining inside the drop zone. Release the toolbox when reaching at least 100 meters altitude then immediately press the Left Analog-stick in any direction while holding X until the altitude meter of the toolbox no longer decreases. The toolbox and you will stop in mid-air, allowing you to easily earn money.
