How many jackal tapes are there

Jackal Tapes are short tape recordings of the Jackal — the infamous arms dealer the player is supposed to track down and kill — in an interview with Reuben Oluwagembi a journalist. They yield quite interesting insights into the Jackal's thoughts. You will find them hidden throughout the game. Collecting them is of course optional. You do not have to collect them as part of the main story. Open your hand-held map, and when the green light starts to blink, you will be near either a tape or a diamond case.

Shoot to wound, then execute the wounded. Burn them. Take them in close combat. Destroy their preconceptions of what a man is, and you become their personal monster. When they fear you, you become stronger, you become better. But let's never forget: It's a display. It's a posture, like a lion's roar or a gorilla thumping at his chest. If you lose yourself in the display, if you succumb to the horror, then you become the monster.

You become reduced. Not more than a man, but less, and it can be fatal. The hard part is moving them inside the country. Whenever you get stopped, you gonna bribe someone or shoot someone Not good for business. No, once you're inside, you want to hand off as fast as possible, let the customer deal with it. I delivered three hundred kilos of C4 to Mbantuwe about six months ago. He showed up with a dozen of his men He packed C4 into their corpses figuring no one will search them.

Smart guy. I move weapons, I profit from circulation; you get a ceasefire in Liberia, both sides disarm, you think they slag two thousand tons of guns?

They sell them to me. I resell them wherever the next war is starting. That's about half. The rest mostly come from old European armies after they abandoned their colonies in the '60s and '70s, you know, French guns, Dutch, Belgian Same job really You get up, you get on the phone, you meet your clients, you discuss a fair price, you make a delivery, and receive payment. Sounds boring But it's not It's just I'm doing what men have been doing for thousands of years.

Trading one thing for another. Maybe it's you who want to attach morality to it Make it evil? People are working gun factories in Belgium or the States They're unionized, right?

You think kids making radios in Bangladesh pull down forty grand a year on a forty hour week? In the game, Diamond Briefcase icons appear only on medium-scale, sectoral maps. Obviously, the crude red-and-white labels have been added by me. I have also added Diamond Briefcase icons in the few instances where briefcases are found too close to icon-worthy locations i.

There are a total of 17 Jackal Tapes in the game: 1 that the Journalist gives to you, and 16 for you to find. There are 8 in the North and 8 in the South, with one in each square part of the map except for the center square in the North where the city is , and the Southeastern square in the South where the bar is.

You basically only get two chances to turn tapes into the Journalist, once before you leave the North, then once in the South. Both times he'll appear sitting at a table in the Bar with the rest of your buddies. The Journalist seems to appear almost at random in the North, but usually does near the end of the storyline in the area, or once you've accumulated enough tapes. Just to be sure, when you get a mission to assassinate someone at Goka Falls, don't take the mission yet and finish off collecting the Northern tapes, and hopefully the Journalist will have appeared.

When you go to the South, the Journalist should automatically appear once you've got all 8 tapes in the area. If he appears before you have all of the tapes, don't approach him as he may not appear again and you'll lose out on the achievement.
