Tips

Free Eggs:

At any location with chickens, you can sometimes find eggs. If you save nearby, then reset the game and reload your file, then run around in circles in an area with chickens, in about 1-5 minutes, more eggs will be laid! Best area to do this is the farm.

Get extra money and items:

At various points throughout the game, you will come across different animals such as crows and fish. These animals can be shot and will reveal different items or amounts of money to obtain.

Extra ammo:

When in the cabin with Luis (and Ashley), fighting the Ganados coming through the windows, stand by Luis. If you stand near him for long enough, he will start throwing handgun ammo to you.

Beat Salazar fast and easy:

During your adventures in the castle, you might find a rocket launcher. If you keep it till you get to the fight with salazars, you kill him easy with it.

How to avoid the first battle with Krauser:

When you enter the fortress and trigger the conversation with Krauser, immediately run forward to the shack with the locked door. Examine the door and the light will switch to red.
Krauser will come to hunt you down, but you can avoid the battle completely. Simply climb the ladder up and down! Krauser cannot hurt you when you climb the ladder.
Repeat the ladder climbing process until the door unlocks.
