Just Cause 3 I have not yet purchased, with what types of files is structured, you could test some individual files by various methods and compressors, and see the result.
If you want to remove excess languages you can try the "Dlg Kompressor" and use the "language search remove".

I already removed languages brother, and the structure of game is mainly like this, it has game0.arc then game0.tab then again game1.arc then game1.tab it has about 72 archives like this! and almost every archive size is around 800mb and this game is from the same developer of mad max game. I successfully unpacked game0.arc with quickbms and I seen in that archive there is models which is mainly taking space. The models format was .hhddsc. and yes I tried repacking with the unpacked archives, but it doesn't work! both the size, with packed archive(game0.arc) and unpacked archives are same. no benefit! and I have tetested about 6-7 archives. I have fitgirl repack too, her size is around 15gb with one language, and mine size is 29.1 GB with one language(I will confirm final size later) from 42gb game size. I tried to understand fitgirl method and seen her temp folder inside the work folder and found many batches, as I think, two of them is precomp 0.43 and precomp 0.38 and there is two more secret tool name run.exe and x.exe! I don't have info about that, if I drag and drop any file to x.exe then it open a command line and shows a special characters type whole page with looking like that it is checking something but it never made a file or something like that.

Eh brother, it is what I wanted to understand me too on the structure and concept of compression of fitgirl, have been opened already several threads on to understand of fitgirl compression method, but no one here on the forum has been able to give an exact tutorial on their work.
Unfortunately I do not know any alternative method that can compress a structure of your game to a size of 15GB or lower.
Already tried in the past with Mad Max, Ride, Metal Gear Solid 5 ... etc.

i can get u even more if doesn't care about smooth progress of installation and high cpu usage (actually this will increase computer requirement even more)

maybe u will tell to use nz or zpaq, I have tested zpaq, it gives smallest size for these archives, but zpaq installation time is very slow but even using that I can make it 22gb or something like that. but it will takes days to install!

in this repack, too there is fgpack files, but as I go through I found that they are precomp related files, maybe there are proceed through precomp!

Firstly you have got to learn how to extract and reimport just cause 3 files and then repack it
You can get at least 16 or 17gb. I'm not sure for i didn't check that

I too downloaded FitGirl's repack of just cause 3 but what i failed to understand is game0.arc neather contains zlib or reflate files. I tried to unpack with unpacker the extracted files r of same size as orginal that means no compressor has been used on them.
