Far Cry 5: 10 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

As you romp around Hope County, the open world of Far Cry 5 has a ton to offer. From vehicles, to weapons, to very good boys (and bears), there's still a lot the game doesn't tell you...

Don't be afraid to toss some bait into outposts. If you have a good vantage point like a radio tower or a rooftop you can toss some bait into the outpost and let the local wildlife handle the cultists without ever showing your face. A grizzly bear wrecking shop makes for great undetected bonus

Didn’t realize this game offered aim assist against vehicle passengers. Thought I was just that good 😐

instructions unclear. Used drugs in real life

Bought this game on the PS sale. Absolutely loving it. It's the first Far Cry I've played.

We need a rare 1 in 50 animation for healing where we slap a fukin band-aid on our wrist like it did something useful

Spraying a prisoner transport with bullets... can result in dead prisoners.
And...
Sometimes Grace does miss.

The one I discovered (about half way through) was that you can silent snipe the alarm boxes in outposts. This makes a ‘no alarms’ bonus easy even if you get detected. That said, with Peaches and Boomer as simultaneous companions, it is pretty easy to take out an outpost without firing a shot.

I love using the optimism shovel and just throwing it at enemies, its one shot kill and really funny too

A neat tip (which Im sure all of you know) although the game says you need to hit a button for death from above, you really dont. Simply fall or jump on them and as long as you are over top of them, you will execute them. I did a wing suit, then parachuted, then closed it over a guy. I began falling, (the arms and legs frailing animation lol) and because I was over the guy, automatically entered the execution move, and boot stomped the guy lol

Here's one you missed: once you start one of the collectible missions (vinyl records, baseball cards, etc.), you can buy a map of the collectible locations from any shop for $1200.

my first real experience in this game was boxing a turkey and almost dying until i decided to use my side arm

If it's like FC3, you can actually do a takedown directly from the wingsuit WITHOUT disengaging the wingsuit. You hit them hard and ride them like a sled for about 20-30 feet. If I recall, the takedown must be from behind as you ride them face down. It's super difficult to pull off, but you feel like a total badass when you do it.

I don't recall if FC4 allowed it, as it's pretty difficult to line up and I never pulled it off in FC4.

Like strapping Remote explosives to Boomer!
Let's just say he lives up to his name...

Far Cry 5 Facts:
1. Faith region part has the most cutscenes.

2. The outside part of the map is much larger than the map itself. (Beyond the border)

3. Heavy type enemy cannot be throw unless you destroy the helmet. Somehow, the body become lighter without the helmet.

4. A plane can only be explode when crashing if the nose hit something no matter how fast the plane is or you land the plane on high speed.

5. During a prepper stash called Deep Dive, you can throw an explosive to destroy the barricade and go into the room without draining the water. After you enter it, the water will immediately drain until it reach the lowest level after the mission passed music end.

6. Enemy helicopter is the most dangerous encounter while free roaming in the game. Using Infamous difficulty, any enemy helicopter can kill you instantly once it fires at you. Even if you survive, your health will be at the lowest level. This will only took around 2-3 seconds to happen.

7. Jacob is considered as a heavy because his dying animation is the same as the heavy that use the flamethrower.

8. Faith is the most strongest boss in the game because you will need 4 remote explosive to end her in the final part of the boss fight on Infamous.

9. One of the best GFH you can find is the one with the combination abilities of reviving himself/herself and can tag enemies around him/her for the player.

10. If you don't know, the RAT4 can locked on a targeted vehicle and you can also guide the rocket by aiming at your target until it reach the place you are aiming just like the rocket in Garry's Mod

When you buy a perk it literally says also works in arcade mode

[mrdeclansir]

It's pretty good ... about half way through but I find myself getting frustrated by the outlandish amount of patrols that you randomly come across even when your trying to talk to an NPC ... also for a game that forces you into stealth for about half the missions the stealth mechanics are annoyingly undercooked ... lost count of the amount of times a silenced weapon has killed someone out of everyone's ear and eyeshot only to still be discovered immediately

[sandbakk]

You can see enemies through walls if you mark them. But even better, you can switch this off under options if you want a challenge.

[LauKlijn]

Playing this coop is a lot of fun. Ubisoft might not be the best game makers but they do still support coop storymode.

[gaminglife]

I like the game's customization and partner system but the silent protagonist not so much.They could've made 1 voice for the male and 1 for the female character and make them talk in the game so they feel like actual characters.

[scotthood]

Yeah, you dont need to kill animals with an arrow. You can just shoot them without damaging the skin. The .50 sniper is easily the best weapon to hunt with. 1 shot head shots on bears and bison and you get perfectly good skins.
