Far Cry 5 tips and cheats

Tips and Tricks

* You can throw your melee weapons. The game never specifically tells you that 

you’re able to do this, but it adds a much needed sense of range to melee combat 

that can be utilised to clear space between you and your foes before you deliver 

that killer final blow. Just hold the LT / L1 button as though you were aiming 

down the barrel of a gun before hitting fire, and your thwacking stick of choice 

will be sent flying in that direction.

* Hunting and fishing are the best ways to make money. Fishing especially. There 

are a few good fishing spots with fellow fisherman vendors hanging out at the 

same spot. Get the Fisher King perk, practice some fishing, and once you get the 

hang of things you can turn around trout and bass fast enough to make $1000 in a 

couple minutes. Be sure you’re using a fly that make sense for the fish you’re 

going after!

* You often pass wildlife signs for bears, wolves, and other such animals when 

you enter an area filled with corresponding wildlife. The game will mark that 

location on your map with the animal’s outline. This is useful for missions that 

require you to hunt animals for certain skins but don’t provide waypoint markers 

to the beasts’ location.

* 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. Don’t do that. 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.

* Money is precious in Far Cry 5. You might be tempted to spend your hard-earned 

cash on items like medkits or ammo, but don’t. There’s enough around the world 

that you can get by even when things get dicey. Save your funds for weapons, 

attachments, and clothes.

* Lay traps before a fight. If you’re taking an outpost or defending a spot, you

have various kinds of explosives. Proximity mines are particularly helpful when 

you want to take down a convoy that’s rolling in.

 

* Always survey an area before you try to take it. Use your binoculars to tag 

foes and then decide what the best course of action is. Remember: If enemies 

see you, and you haven’t disabled nearby alarms, they will call for backup.

* Always use your binoculars. Even if you favour the loud approach, it’s worth 

scoping out a target before attacking. Spying on people with binoculars is 

pretty creepy in the real world but is essential in Far Cry 5. 

Use your binoculars, ideally from a hidden vantage point, and scan the area on 

which you’re about to unleash hell.

* To unlock the third weapon slot, you will simply need to buy the perk. It 

costs eight perk points. For the fourth, you will need to have a confrontation

with one of the Seeds – one of the cult leaders dotted around Montana. The 

first you will likely encounter once leaving the tutorial island is John Seed. 

He lords over Holland Valley, his catchphrase, ‘Yes’, erected on a distant 

hillside like a messed up Hollywood sign. You need to fill up John Seed’s 

progress bar to face off with him. Do this by completing missions, side quests, 

freeing civilians, liberating compounds, blowing up cult property, and killing 

cult VIPs. Every third of the bar will trigger a story mission. Once you’re 

there, you will have a showdown with him. The perk to get the fourth weapon 

slot is unlocked after this fight.

How to Fast Forward Time

Written by UltraOlesia

In order to skip to a certain time of the day for various ambiences for your 

interest while you are playing Far Cry 5, follow this guide.

* Go to the "Baron Lumber Mill" location on the map. 

* You will find "General Shop". 

* Go exactly infront of the shop.

This part is really important! Do not look at the shop! Directly look up to the sky. 

Wait for 2 minutes looking up to the sky. Then press N on your keyboard, 5 times 

with 1 second gap in between each press.

Repeat the process. The longer you wait, further you will get in time and you will 

see weather will change as time goes on. Find the perfect weather condition for 

yourself and play along!

Easy money

Written by CheatCC

Travel to the Moccassin River in Jacob's Region. Locate the caribou hunting spot 

area south of the F.A.N.G. Center, in a flooded basin near the bridge. It is 

recommended to use an LMG when hunting in this area. You will find one early if you 

clear out the F.A.N.G. Center. Collect one of the big guns from an armored cultist. 

There is also a gun store in this area you can use to sell the collected skins. This 

area is a great hunting spot because it is a large flat land, making it very easy 

to spot animals. Shoot caribou to collect skins and bait. Look for the rare and 

valuable Alpha Caribou as well. Unlock the Harvest Master perk to get double skins 

when harvesting animals. Use the bait here as wel. Toss bait on the ground, and a 

predator will usually appear right in front of you after a few seconds. Take it 

out and collect the skin. You will get either Wolf Leaders or Black Bears. 

Continue to hunt caribou, collecting skins and bait, then using the bait to summon 

predators with even more valuable skins. Wolf Leaders will usually spawn when you 

drop bait. Repeat this as many times as desired. Wolf Leader skins sell for $225, 

and Alpha Caribou sell for $350. One quick hunt that only lasts 2-3 minutes can

earn you $2,000. If you use the Harvest Master perk, it will double to $4,000.

Easy "Ghost Kill" achievement:

Written by CheatCC

First, equip the AR-CL with a "Marksman Adv-X Scope". The weapon is frequently 

dropped by many enemies. Once it is collected, it will get added to the "Sniper 

Rifle" section at every store. The scope costs $1,600. Next, go to the "Sacred 

Skies Youth Camp" outpost in Faith's Region. Approach it from uphill. You can 

airdrop to the nearest fast travel point, "Chan Residence". Use the binoculars, 

and press R3 to put a distance marker on an enemy (ideally the one of the roof). 

Then, crouch and zoom in with the sniper scope and perform a headshot. Make sure 

the distance marker is more than 150m away (160+ meters to be safe). The good 

thing about this camp is if you miss your shot, one enemy will get behind the 

mounted turret. He will be standing perfectly still behind the turret, making 

him an easy target. If you fail (for example, kill too many enemies), air drop 

to the nearest fast travel point to make the enemies respawn. If you have already 

captured this outpost, you can reset it by going to the pause menu and clicking 

"Outpost Master", but you must have captured all other outposts for it to work. 

Note: You can also get the "Ghost Kill" achievement by shooting helicopter and 

plane pilots with a mounted turret (MG).

Best weapon 

Written by CheatCC

The M249 LMG is the best all around weapon in the game. It can quickly and 

easily destroy vehicles and armored cultists. It is faster than a rocket 

launcher, and it has much more ammo. Immediately unlock the Heavy Weapons 

Mastery and Vehicle Buster perks for it to make it much better. Additionally,

use armor-piercing ammo to easily destroy the strongest soldiers and helicopters.

A quick burst from the M249 will destroy everything in your path. There is 

almost no reason to equip other guns. It is like an automatic bazooka.

* Equip yourself as such that you can destroy that Sign. 

* Initiate to destroy the sign which will pop up the mission name "No Means No" which 

  you can track now. 

* Destroy the Sign completely as stated in the mission description which will lead 

  to its completion.

Now you have successfully completed the remaining hidden mission in this region!
