Far Cry 4 remains a fan favorite for its chaotic open world and memorable villain, but certain gear is notoriously locked behind Ubisoft’s "Uplay" (now Ubisoft Connect) ecosystem. The AJM 9, a burst-fire sidearm inspired by RoboCop’s Auto-9, is one such item. Originally intended as a reward for spending Uplay points, many players now seek ways to bypass this requirement due to connection issues, account privacy, or a simple preference for offline play.

Pro Tips for Completing the Assassinations Easily

• Use the Hunter Syringe. It highlights enemies through walls, making it trivial to find the target.
• For Mission 2 (The Courier): Place a proximity mine on the road ahead of his path, then hide. He'll drive over it. Easy explosive kill.
• For Mission 4 (The Double): Use the Z93 sniper rifle with a silencer. Line up both targets, then fire two quick shots. Or use the "Auto-Cross" (sidearm crossbow) for silent double kills.
• Save before each mission. The game auto-saves, but manual saves via the pause menu let you retry instantly if you fail a condition.

The AJM 9 is arguably the best sidearm in the game for stealth and rapid takedowns. It features: A high-capacity magazine. A three-round burst fire mode. The ability to be suppressed for silent kills.
