Just Cause 2

You play as agent Rico Rodriguez, sent to the island nation of Panau to find his missing friend and mentor. Agency and faction missions draw you into a struggle over the island’s leadership. Travel by land, sea, and air, or combine a grappling hook with a parachute to swing, glide, climb, and hijack vehicles. The grapple can also tether objects and enemies, making movement and combat open to improvisation. Explore settlements, military bases, and varied regions while completing missions, challenges, and location objectives. Destruction builds Chaos, which advances progression and unlocks later missions; money and collectibles support upgrades and Black Market supplies.

As agent Rico Rodriguez, disrupt Panau’s regime with grapple-and-parachute stunts, vehicle hijacks, missions, and destruction.
