Early on, one of your first weapon purchases should be a silencer. There's really no indicator when this happens or anything you can do to stop it but, uh, it's good to be aware, I guess?ġ4. Far Cry 5 has a nasty habit of booting you out of missions for the sake of random cutscenes that occur as you make your way along each location's resistance-point bar. You can jump into a friend's session to help them progress through the story of Far Cry 5, but keep in mind, that even if you're in the same exact place in the story, you will not progress alongside them.ġ3. If you're getting stuck on one, you can usually avoid it (unless it's a character unlock/story mission) since your progression is mostly decided by the resistance-point bar.ġ2. Don't feel the need to do every side mission or quest. They're often in the wilderness and have gun emblems over their head.ġ1. Be on the lookout for gun traders in the area. You don't necessarily need to run back to a town or outpost to refill your ammo. It's basically a disaster waiting to happen.ġ0. While you can drive on most terrain just fine with trucks, cars, and buggies, don't bother going up mountain roads with anything other than an ATV. Use this when you're hunting game or planning an assault.ĩ. The most useful one lets you see every enemy and animal outline for a huge distance. Homeopathics are consumable boosters that give you heightened senses, let you hit harder and run faster. Save your funds for weapons, attachments, and clothes.Ĩ. There's enough around the world that you can get by even when things get dicey. You might be tempted to spend your hard-earned cash on items like medkits or ammo, but don't. If you burn or run over an animal, their fur/meat decreases in quality, meaning it's useless for collection missions and sells for far less.ħ. Speaking of collecting animal skins and furs, you might be tempted to try and run over a grizzly or a bison to get that fur. This is useful for missions that require you to hunt animals for certain skins but don't provide waypoint markers to the beasts' location.Ħ. The game will mark that location on your map with the animal's outline. You often pass wildlife signs for bears, wolves, and other such animals when you enter an area filled with corresponding wildlife. Having a buddy at all times is basically the equivalent of having an extra life.ĥ. Not only do they provide support, but they can also revive you when you get downed in combat. The buddy system from Far Cry 2 returns, with you being able to recruit NPC soldiers (and animals!) to help you out as you explore Hope county. You usually find a note or character telling you the location of said stash and then you have to head there and complete some environmental puzzles or take on foes to get there. Prepper stashes are hidden caches of ammo, money, and magazines that give you valuable perk points. Besides a small boost to your resistance points bar, they can also reward you with valuable information leading to new missions, buddies, and prep stashes.ģ.
It is always in your best interest to save civilians from cultists. Go there and do the mission to make the mutt a loyal and essential support buddy for the game's opening hours.Ģ.
If you open your map, you'll see his icon on it. After a lengthy tutorial, one of the first things you want to do is unlock Boomer. I spent more than 30 hours taking the fight to Eden's Gate for the heart of the valley and have come back with well-earned tricks that will give you a leg up in this war.ġ. While the formula for Far Cry is pretty established at this point, some new systems and quirks can throw you off even if you are a fan of the series.
The latest entry in Ubisoft's sandbox shooter series is here and pits you in the American homeland, fighting against cultists with a serious doomsday crush.
