The Far Cry franchise has always been known for whisking players away to remote locales for a protagonist to find their way through to the end of the game, likely running into an insane villain in the process. In Far Cry 5, there is still disturbed locals and a leader who is not playing with a full deck. However, instead of taking place in some foreign country, this installment is located right in the United States of America. The premise of FC5 involves a Montana-based group🅷 that has gotten a little out of hand. The player is s🅰ent in to subdue some of the leaders, and of course, all chaos breaks loose.
While the jury is still out about how the game lives up to previous installments, one this is for sure. Ubisoft took a risk with a different locale, but they are still employing some of the familiar plot devices that fans have come to know and appreciate. This game is a massive open-world space where players can stick close to the primary mission or veer off to have their pick of side missions. One thing is for sure; gamers will never be bored with this game. Players can look forward to endless references to Far Cry games of the past and other Ubisoft main staples as well as zany and sometimes creepy missions. Get ready, because here are 25 awesome things you didn’t know you could do in FC5.
25 🌱 A Ten Minute Gaജme
This entry is probably one of the most popular and anticipated secrets of the game. If gamers are wondering if Ubisoft is going to include a creative action to cut the game a bit short, they were right! Just like with Far Cry 4, gamers can complete FC5 in less than ten minutes. After the opening cutscenes🥃 at the church, gamers can opt when told to arrest Joseph.
We think the price tag will make you rethink doing this.
The disbelief of the sheriff as players walk away from the cult leader is not only realistic but for a brief moment, it causes one to check their own sense of ethics and morality. Either way, it is a neat little nod to FC4, and it opens up one of the 🦂many endings of the game.
24 ⛄ Create Your Own Maps For PVP Fun
Now, this may be one of the coolest features in the game. If you are a Minecraft or Fortnite fan, then this will surely catch your eye. There is a PvP Arcade mode to FC5. However, to participate, players have to their own maps.
The creativity of players is going to reach insane levels!
Gamers can choose from settings and items from games like Watch Dogs, previous Far Cry installments, and Assassin’s Creed. Want a boat? Put it in there! Looking for exotic locales to include? It is entirely up to you. Again, the developers up FC5 are pulling out all the stops to make this a game that the whole Ubisoft community can enjoy. Again, time will tell if this is enough to make the game a standout in the series, but we are sure🌜 gamers will have a lot of fun testing it out.
23 ဣ Sooooo…There’s A Secret Alien Weapon
If there could be a sasquatch in this game, then this next entry makes total sense. As with most Far Cry installments, there are some e🔴xotic secret weapons up for grabs. Rumors begin to emerge that there was a secret alien weapon that 🎉had crazy insane power and infinite ammo. That was all gamers needed to start looking for this item.
Nothing stays secret for too long in games like this.
Eventually, photos and videos of gamers wielding the weapon begin to emerge, so there was proof of its existence. Players can acquire the by accomplishing a broad set of tasks that includes freeing a man from a laboratory, finding alien artifacts, and dodging local cultists to restore electricity. There is a lot involved, but the reward 🥃is so sweet if players are willing to put in the time.
22 Useful Reading🌱…
Reading…in a video game? Other than the required notes or game lore, who in the world is trying to capture books or magazines while attempting to fend off crazy cult members? Well, FC5 makes it worth player’s while. Game🔯rs should keep 🦩their eyes out for survivalist magazines. If they find them, gamers can gain one .
Nothing wrong with a little wilderness literature ;-)
They can be found in people’s homes, in various other buildings, and even campsites. Players do not have to read through the magazines, but it is pretty cool that FC5 is making this type of literature a part of tﷺhe experience. While they are at it, maybe they can include a guide for how to deal with a religious cult that has gone 💮way off the rails.
21 We Al♌l Float Down Here ꦦ
What is your biggest fear? What keeps you up at night? FC5 is not only hea🦩rd to give players a good time, but it also exists to scare the living daylights out of unsuspecting gamers. If players want to face their fears and one of last year’s most successful horror movies, they should travel to the sewer pipe between Lamb of God Church and Fall’s End. Once there, they can see one lone red balloon near the opening of the sewer, a callback to last year’s It. It is a chilling easter egg and one that leaves players wondering if Mr. Pennywise is going to jump out and greet them with a smile. From what we heard, t༺he clown does not make an appearance, but players are still discovering new things every day.
20 Huntin’ F💟or Sasquatch ﷺ
No game is complete without a potential Big Foot, alien, or ghost side story. Fans like a mystery and FC5 developers were quick to oblige. Theories have emerged, much like GTA’s Chilliad situation, that there is a Big Foot in the game. Various players have gone on a hunt to find bones, footprints, and possible references to the legendary monster. Players can get in on the fun and for the monster’s potential whereabouts. There is even a cave hideout where someone has gathered evidence on a map to the possible location of Sasquatch. As this article is being written, we are sure gamers are scouring every part of Hope County to find this monster. GTA’s Chilliad ༒is still larg𝄹ely unsolved, so we are sure players have their work cut out for them with this one.
19 ♎ Ride Around🌸 With Vaas
Many games are now including small collectibles that bring attention to a character of another series. It is always a fun little nod. FC5 allows players to unlock bobbleheads that they can place on their dashboard as they ride through Hope County. One that will be of interest to many is the , referencing the villain from FC3. What makes this so hilarious is knowing how insane, powerful, and charismatic this character was in the🎶 game. To now see that he has been whittled down to 💧nothing more than a cartoonish bobblehead that has to watch you run through local cultist, is nothing short of satisfying. On the other hand, this game is paying respects to one of the most famous and evil villains of the franchise.
18 🌱 Have A Little PUBG F♋un
We all know that developers play video games, and they are not always from the company they work for. However, it is pretty cool to see them reference other favorite games from other gaming studios. Clearly, someone (or a lot of individuals) at Ubisoft enjoy intense battle royale games. If players run up to the Raptor Peak, they can the famous melee frying pan from PUBG.
This guy needed a bit more support than the pan in our opinion.
Things apparently did not work out for the guy who had it as he has expired, but he looks to disappear when some players come back to the area. Did he get a second wind? Did someone go andဣ move him? Again, there is more to this story as well, but we think it’s fantastic the developers threw this reference in there.
17 The Impossi🎀ble Task
Have you ever wanted to fly? Well, FC5 gives players the opportunity to do it. Flying in a wingsuit is definitely something on our bucket list, but we are not sure if we have the guts ever to try it. Nicely enough, FC5 gܫives us the opportunity to enjoওy this activity in a safe and virtual environment —like so much else in the gaming world.
Soothing and dangerous never went so well together.
If players use a Wingsuit to travel more than 5000 meters, they will the silver trophy for "Like A Bird." For those who are not a part of the metric system —everyoneꦫ in the United⭕ States — that is a little over three miles. Players will have to have locate a significant drop off point to complete this task successfully.
16 Who Ya Gonn♛a Call?
We love a good haunted mystery. With the inclusion of aliens and a possible Big Foot roaming around, it seems appropriate to allow players to immerse themselves in some spooky goings-on. However, this entry not only brings fear into the equation, but it also makes an excellent to a well-known horror franchise. At The King’s Hot Springs Hotel players can find a note from a Ghost Hunter that talks about a series of murders that occurred at the hotel and the paranormal activity that is now going on there. It makes a reference to ectoplasm and asks the phrase “Who Am I Gonna Call?” This is an apparent reference to Ghostbusters. The first part of the letter starts ominous enough, but as players read 🦩on, they see the playful reference to one of the most popular horror comedies of all time.
