Far Cry 5 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is an intense open-world sandbox shooter with plenty of concepts to learn. Here are our best tips for beginners. Subscribe for more: / gameranxtv
I love how the progression limits you for the first bit, makes it a little more grounded and semi realistic. Now I’m further in, have all holsters, plenty of awesome vehicles, the ability to spawn in from the sky and a Sci-fi gun that turns enemies into red mist. Oh far cry, you never disappoint!
This one disappointed me. The "Resistance metre" tying the open world to progression made the open world pointless and almost linear. As an experiment I completed Faith's region ignoring the story missions by engaging in the random encounters. One of the best things about open world games is the longevity of being able to wander around and complete side missions and encounters, but they ruined it with this game.
Shakes First I wouldn’t say it was ruined, but it’s definitely a step in the wrong direction. I feel like you get too many points per action completed. Honestly? I’d advise anyone playing on their first run to mod the game in order to rebalance it - plenty of mods exist to change the resistance meter.
@Jake Paul’s hairline You do stupid really well. Maybe you should get an adult to look up the word hallucination for you...And then explain the definition as well.
First thing my ADHD brain did when I got to the first base was "Whos this Larry guy and whats he doing in the woods?" And got an unlimited ammo alien pulsar gun. Was definitely not expecting it
Boomer is by far one of the most important assets you can unlock in the game. He will not only help you in combat, but will also help you hunt. You just have to pay attention to what he does. He will growl when he detects another animal nearby, and the animal will be spotted on your screen. If the animal is not within sight, such as behind a hill, boomer will start sniffing the ground and walking off. If you follow him, he'll lead you right to the animal.
I agree but it can be annoying when ur out in the woods and he just growls at a bear or a random animal that you don’t want to fight and try to avoid but boomer attracts the animal so u have to fight it and waste ammo also boomer doesn’t have much hp so he’s always needing to be revived but he’s good as starter
I’ve played through ng+ about 5 times. I have over $100,000, I’ve unlocked all the perks, and really just set myself stupid goals, like “take over Jacob’s region with nothing but a revolver and shovel”. It’s great. I think the best thing about Far Cry 5 is it’s replayability
I've beaten the entire game with only a shovel Granted when the game forced me to use a weapon (like John's bossfight) I used it as minimal as I could, then get right back to shovels
For perks I highly recommend getting the ones that improve mobility first especially during early game when money is tight and you only have 1 or 2 good guns anyway. The fast crouch (+reduced fall dmg), swim speed, parachute, wing suit and grapple are cheap and really open up the accessibility of the huge world map
Damien Swan I know gameplay wise it's awesome, but does Joseph ever gets into the villain you love-to-hate-and-hate-to-love like pagan Min, or anything as amazing as Vaas?
I’m 30-40h deep and havnt done many missions. The world is one of the best when it comes to far cry. I can’t stop exploring and just rampaging the cult. 8.5/10
Another tip Many weapons have selectable fire options, you can chose from single shot, burst, and full auto given on your situation this is quite helpful for me when I noticed you could do this You can change the firing options in the weapon wheel ✌️
Great game! One thing that took me awhile to discover is that whenever you find a white locked door there is usually a key around somewhere nearby. Definitely don’t pass these up because I have found useful gear and perk points in them.
Well what do u do when you only have your sniper out and a bow if u click y but there a person shoot at u with a ak 47 what do u do I tried shoot the person with the sniper but I miss 2 shoot and died 😊😅
For me one of the first skills you should pick up is the one that makes you crouch walk faster and I also think it lets you run with infinite stamina. Even if you aren't a stealth oriented player just being able to avoid fights sometimes is the easiest option especially when you're low on HP or in a place with limited cover. In a case like that being able to move quickly without being spotted can save you a respawn.
Huge tip for anyone playing this game first thing you shud do after u leave the island hop in a helicopter and low fly the entire map you will literally unlock all the camps and lil.towns all over which is important to see early in game
Figured I’d bring this up since not many know about it. So like Far Cry 4, there is another secret ending at the beginning. When prompted to cuff The Father, DO NOT CUFF HIM, and wait for a few minutes. You just end up leaving Hope County and the credits roll 😅😅
This is my first Far Cry game, so I was a bit skeptical about buying it... but once I ordered the Gold Edition on Xbox and started playing it, it’s amazing!
leipä suuhun agreed, farcry5 is the worst out of all of them😂 Farcry 4 having the best gameplay, farcry 3 having the best story and farcry 2 having the best map.
Bought it already, and loving it... thanks for the tips... man, the world/environments/graphics look awesome.. and the gun play and sound is spot on...
Also after playing multiple times through, suppressors and extended mags on literally everything no exception, go for health perks first but honestly if you deck out the AR-CL (you can find it in the world pretty commonly) with a marksman sight it’ll get you way further without needing to waste perk points on extra holsters
Every AR can be easily turned into a sniper with a decent scope and changing it to semi auto. Saves up a space for snipers. Also, use GFH's and specialists differently and simultaneously as some of their perks can really help in a fight.
Having watched a the beginning and a bit more on a stream, I must say, the mute player character is such a turn off for me. The thing I liked about FC3 and 4 (and primal, but it's not that obvious) was that Jason and Ajay actually had things to say. Not Bioware style talking, but an "oh shit" or "ok, I'll get on that" reaaally adds to the immersion.. Is a silent character easier to project your feelings on? Maybe. But having a few voice types to choose from that just say simple things would have improved it a lot.
Love the focus on perk points. After about 15 hours into the game I’ve realized how important picking the right ones are and how crucial they are to beating he game and having fun. Best investment for me so far was increased health, crouch mobility, additional holster and believe it or not fishing. Fish are an easy way to make big Bucks to buy vehicles with or upgrade your guns and character 👍 also silence those guns and extend clips early on.
One tip most people tend to miss. Every outpost has a safe. It will contain money and silver. Save the silver bars up and you can buy one of the premium helicopters. The nice part is that helicopter will be there next time you start a game. So you can begin by going to one of the helicopter spawns and pick up your free ship.
I know you wrote this 3 years ago but i just started this game a few days ago and this comment has me confused. So far i must've liberated maybe 10 outposts and i've made an effort of looking around everywhere. I think i found maybe 3 or 4 safes, on most outposts there was no safe to be found and also none of the ones i found had silver bars in them. I'm very confused
@@MyB00bies I just found my first and I'm maybe mid-way through the game, got the in-game explanation that they're in every outpost and I was equally confused.
My first few perks were increased health, ammo and 4 weapon slots. I also went and unlocked all the guns for hire asap. Bloody love how you can just do what you want when you want and you'll still have an awesome time.
Freaking love this game! It's like the best elements of Ghost Recon meets the best elements of classic Far Cry...with new, fresh and exciting things added. Ubisoft has been killing it with their last few titles.
I really recommend getting the torch perk I'm surprised he didn't mention it because its a must have firstly if your vehicle get broke you can fix it and secondly if you run out of ammo you can set enemies on fire with it with unlimited ammo and the most important reason for getting it is every outpost has a safe which you can open with the blow torch and inside it is money and silver bars so the blow torch really is top priority and a tip worth knowing myself I thought half the stuff he said the game makes clear to you and perks are down to taste of play
Just to add an additional tip...it may be worth it to unlock the leadership perk for a second companion early on. It's not hard to free good companions and they'll take some of the heat off of you. My build is a stealth build and even though I don't always send them in to attack when I'm taking an outpost...there have been many times where I was sniping from a mile out and some wild animal tried to attack....only for peaches or cheeseburger to alert me and challenge that animal....often chasing it off or battling it. That was especially useful in Faith's region.
All the politicized review websites are upset over this game because they thought it was going to be about killing trump supporters but it's about a radical religious cult instead.
Here’s something you should know: takedowns in the game are kinda crap. The knife throw takedown has been replaced with the weapon throw, you throw your own weapon, and it spins through the air so if the enemy is next to a lamp post the weapon bounces off of it, rendering the weapon throw useless. The sidearm takedown is also useless, now you pull your own gun out and shoot them, but it doesn’t even lock on to them. It’s better to just finish the normal takedown and then just shoot the other guy. Chain takedown is still here though, it’s fine. However, the last thing you should know is that the vehicle takedown and the grenade takedown have been removed.
An excellent video and thank you. I would say about the fishing is that if you can afford a 3rd best rod before getting the 2nd best rod you can fish and rake in money pretty quickly without people shooting at you (usually that is). And once you get the 2nd best rod the money really comes in. You're 100 percent correct about the ammo/health/armor vest/goodies as in the prepper bunkers there usually is a lot of stuff lying around and definitely at the outpost. My big problem is that I ALWAYS buy until my stocks are full and then go to a place where I could have got it for nothing. The very start of the game is a great reminder of how to play the game as ALL the goodies you get you pick up from stashes/casual loot/dead bodies and it's the one lesson I ALWAYS forget after leaving the island - sigh!
I just noticed when you clear something or a part of the map and you get the magazines for the perk points, you can come back and get them again in co op. Extra points points you can use besides doing the arcade. Also takes less time too.
These are great tips, thank you. I’m about to stream the game for my channel, so I am looking for tips and basically refreshing myself of the game before doing so.
I was one of those people who wasn't too hyped about far cry 5. But the game is actually really fun! The only thing that bothers me is, there aren't allot of weapons available. for example there are only really 2 assault rifles. a m4 type weapon and an ak type weapon.. The rest of the assault rifles are just the same with different skins. They even have the same exact stats.. But knowing money hungry Ubisoft, It's probably cut content for future dlc..
Something else you should know is that you can unlock weapons by picking them up. So if an enemy drops a weapon that you don't have you should grab it (you don't need to hold on to it or anything so you can throw it back down immediately after). This will save you a ton of money especially considering how hard it is to get a lot early on.
Only the basic weapons tho. Starting rifle, starting pistol, basic sniper and basic bow is all they carry. Occasionally a flamethrower or basic MG. Bottom line? Still need to buy guns that are not basic starters.
If there's any one perk you should get, it's Harvest. With that and a bow, you get 4 skins per animal. Mix that with the perk that gives extra backpack space and you can get 15 of each animal really quickly. Money is no longer an issue in any way with that combination.
Bit late to the party, but I came up with a few more tips to include: First off, invest in the repair torch early on. It's an extremely handy tool: it can be used to repair your vehicles, unlock safes (which include substantial cash rewards, and occassionally silver bars that you would otherwise have to buy) and can even be used as a melee weapon in a pinch. Second: unlock Death Wish as quickly as possible. A versatile 4d vehicle with MG capabilities is invaluable, especially in cooperative play. Third: avoid the flamethrower. It runs out of ammo very quickly, slows you down as you fire it, can very quickly box you in with fire, and enemies you blast with it will usually attempt a kamikaze run on you. It's just not worth it when you have more powerful and versatile heavy guns to use.
Things I like about far cry 5 personally: 1. How hunting is actually worth it for cash now. 2. How map discovering works 3. How realistic discovering missions is. 4.Bullet drop and flight time so you have to calculate how up or how much away from your enemy to aim from afar. 5. Details like cattle mating or getting used to dark or brightness when heading out from a house etc 6. Map design. At first I thought it would suck if compared to fc3 island paradise but it's actually really good map. 7. How hunting works. For instance when you shoot a deer with a bow once it will run away but it will start limping soon and die few dozen meters away. 8. Fishing 9. Finally actually planes and helicopters in far cry. Buzzer wasn't good enough. 10. Graphics, sound, character movement etc. 11. Customisation and posters actually match your looks. 12. Perk system is actually quite sweet and so are perks. 13. How enemies and allies get hurt and fall down like the player. I like to let peggies to die like that. 14. Stashes... this could go on but it's already too long. Things I dislike 1. How they took away things like desert eagle and other guns that have been there since fc2/3.Instead of desert eagle they have a like 3 different looking 44. Magnums with the same stats... Hell even useless flaregun should've made it and they could've given it a use. 2. Map discovering is cool but I kinda wish flying over it with a helicopter would discover it too. 3. No signature weapons. There's new cool looking skins and weapons with gold/deluxe edition but their damage is not any different. They just look far cooler. 4. That there was more cooler skins. Sure theres plenty if good skins but there's not that large choice anymore or so it feels. Lastly between like and dislike there is vehicle customisation. It could've been far better but hey it's still good and I like it.
the "getting used to darkness or brightness" and "deer dying after running away being shot" was present in far cry primal. fishing was nice addition but didnt do much to the overall gameplay. the one thing i hated the most was the forced progression and the fast resistance points build up
There is actually a version of the Desert Eagle now, its called D50 with .50 cal. rounds. Description is funny. Could blow peggies several meters away.
I think number one is an ok tip, but I personally put my first perk points into fishing because it’s not easy to fish even with it, so it keeps you engaged during grinding and if you are catching a good fish the shops will buy them off you for a good price. My favorite fish has to be the paddlefish, they are super surprising when you first get one on a line after catching a lot of trout and it’s a challenge to real a good sized one in. They pay well and it’s a nice way to stay having fun while grinding cash. Also if you want to go into fishing definitely do the side missions with Skylar and get the good rod it helps more than you think
I love how helpful these videos are, i just got the game because its on sale for Christmas and i havent played a far cry game before and i really dont know what im doing
I’ve played every far cry game and far cry 5 is far different from the rest it’s amazing I don’t get why these reviewers are all saying it’s a lot of the same
Unlock the Widowmaker truck early. It is strong and has two built in LMGs that can be controlled while driving. If you have the auto repair perk it makes it unstoppable
I have a tip for you dude. You probably already know this but if you beat the game on the real ending, it unlocks a new game+ that let's you start a new campaign but let's you keep all of your clothes, guns, money, perk unlocks and points, silver, etc. The only thing it dosent let you keep is resistance level and map unlocks. If you didnt know, I hope this helped... Ps: all of this applies after the prologue.
I’ve been playing for a few day and had no idea that you had different drugs you can take to improve game play. I’ve almost beaten the game and I just barely found out about it
"Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered around my cabin door Oh hard times come again no more" I love this game
I would recommend saving up for a bow and a suppresser for your pistol early on as it helps with stealth, I wouldn’t buy any rifles or snipers until you have enough to get good sights and ,maybe a suppresser. Also remember you can get the MP5k free with Ubisoft club it works as good as an Assault rifle for me.
There’s so much shit it stresses me out. I’m only about 1-2 hours in. Should I stick with it? I mean I kinda don’t really know what I’m doing, I’m just following what the objectives show me.
Great video, totally agree minus the fishing stuff you said. Only because if you’re seeking perk points, you only have to catch one of each fish to get a point
Jess and Nick are a great matchup if you wanna go stealth but, still need heavy firepower. I kept having trouble with planes and helicopters when fishing or hunting and Nick has really helped keep the peace around me in the sky. Jess is great to take hunting or whatever because she's virtually silent and doesn't really get in the way.
Great addition to the Far Cry series. Ive enjoyed it. There is al2ays something you will not like or even hate about every game and yes there are things to hate about this one, but there is much more to love about it.
Pretty much everything you talked about covers what I’m experiencing in the new game I started. I felt like I was playing the game wrong but it’s good to know I’m poor to start off with in the game for a reason lol
I've played it for about 5 hours and so far it's really good, shooting is easy( I recommend 50% sensitivity), it feels like farcry but different, also if you've played farcry before and you're experienced on taking outposts it's very easy to take them out stealthy
Angry Bulldog Gaming I kind of feel like the weapons behave like those in PUBG, but better and smoother. Especially when shooting long range I get that feeling
Abin George You know when you see something controversial about South park and you're like "ahh, of course i mean, it south park after all" You think the developers are like - 'okay, far cry game - it need drugs, hallucination scenes and bat-shit crazy environments! GO!!" ?
I am actually a huge fan how far cry 5 progression works. I almost never use fast travel now and interact with people and things not just rush to main missions after discovering the map like in previous games.
Ashar idk if u have bought it yet but the game wasnt wat i expected tbh. I dont like fortnite so i went out to look for other games. Far cry 5 looked ok i bought it and idk if its because I’ve never played it but the mission and things u have to do felt the same. U just liberate outposts, destroy properties fight the boss and move on to the next area. These things felt more like a chore than u actually wanting to do em. Once i finished the game there was literally nothing to do so i uninstalled cuz it was that boring. There was this lil game mode tho called far cry arcade it was pretty cool but aside from that the game was meh. This is my honest opinion although im sure u bought the game already lol.
BIGG 4078 Lmao yeah the first far cry i played was 4 and It was cool for the first couple of hours then it just gets redundant there’s nothing new it just feels like you’re doing the same thing over and over again. I mean it’s not a bad game, but it’s not great either. It’s okay and it’s a pain to even bring yourself to want to finish the game.
Got it for $10 on PSN a couple days ago. Enjoying very much, but Ghost of Tsushima just came out, don't know if I want to finish this first or jump back and forth
"You mean you have to use your hands?" "That's like a baby's toy!" I'm really glad they took out a lot of the handholding that has become common in games these days.
I'm a day behind, but random Guns for hire are really good to get on an early start. They can help you fight, pick you when your down, and some have unique perks. Like one npc I have, he is able to pick himself up after he went down, and it help so many time when we both go down at the same time, he picks himself up and then picks me and and I don't die, and I don't have start over on stuff like liberating an outpost.
Expect a 'Before You Buy' video from Jake within 24 hrs.
gameranx ¡Gracias!
But i already bought
Yay thanks guys
gameranx i have some funny glitch videos from far cry 5, would you be interested in making a glitch compilation like you sometimes do for new games ;)
my go to for game info 🤘🏼😎
I have played through the whole game....and I suggest you put a silencer on all your weapons early on
G String *suppresor*
Absolutely. I did that for Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 as well.
Meh.. I'll stick with melee weapons
Or just get good at stealth.
@jeppemichael nothing cheating about using something provided.

Taking out entire outposts alone with my bare hands. 10 /10
doing outposts melee only is the most fun way.
XD i might try this with 2 companions with baseball bat
That sounds impossible. How did you do it
I already finished the game but is there any way to play outposts liberation without playing the main story?
@@grant834 being stealthy
Its March 2020 and I have 100+ hours in this game, yet I'm still watching this video...
Just bought it!
just bougt it 2 days ago
stoked
Ill buy it today...first far cry since far cry 3...hope its worth it....already bought too many games that werent...
Just bought it, for the lockdown
Just brought it today i was waiting 2 years almost 3 years and now I can finally play it Far cry 5 is an awesome game

Huh i never used him in the game. Been using peaches
@@cbtgaming1where do you get peaches from ? What mission or how do you find him
@@jacobyarmand13 you go to peaches taxerdermy in jacob's part of the island and theres a mission
Every time I try to go relax fishing some kind of wildlife comes and ruins it... and it’s awesome!!
I was trying to fish and a bunch of cultists came rolling in, gun's a blazing.
It happened to me also and I’m like woah let me take a second to myself yall
ChopGaming that takes it up a notch
Anybody know where sturgen is
Hattmatt 1170 lucky, I never find animals
I’ve played through ng+ about 5 times. I have over $100,000, I’ve unlocked all the perks, and really just set myself stupid goals, like “take over Jacob’s region with nothing but a revolver and shovel”. It’s great. I think the best thing about Far Cry 5 is it’s replayability
I've beaten the entire game with only a shovel
Granted when the game forced me to use a weapon (like John's bossfight) I used it as minimal as I could, then get right back to shovels
@@lyfe_sux7628 Throwing smilie shovels at Angels is fun, yes!
For perks I highly recommend getting the ones that improve mobility first especially during early game when money is tight and you only have 1 or 2 good guns anyway. The fast crouch (+reduced fall dmg), swim speed, parachute, wing suit and grapple are cheap and really open up the accessibility of the huge world map
This is by far the best Far Cry game since Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon. Can't stop playing it.
Damien Swan I know gameplay wise it's awesome, but does Joseph ever gets into the villain you love-to-hate-and-hate-to-love like pagan Min, or anything as amazing as Vaas?
Damien Swan Have fun, I wish I could also play it.
Joseph is definitely up there with Vaas as a really interesting creepy villain... not better but close!
jdh22 i agree
MattOmniHeart he's better than Pagan Min
I’m 30-40h deep and havnt done many missions. The world is one of the best when it comes to far cry. I can’t stop exploring and just rampaging the cult. 8.5/10
30-40hrs deep..you need a life.
Fuzzycat na
You're straight up lying the game came 30 hours ago
Big C it’s been out for 4 days in my county
PnlBtr im in the beginning and on the small island and now im bored seems like typical first person crap does it get better?
Another tip
Many weapons have selectable fire options, you can chose from single shot, burst, and full auto given on your situation this is quite helpful for me when I noticed you could do this
You can change the firing options in the weapon wheel ✌️
Not all hero’s wear capes. U my friend are the real mvp.
I almost solely run semi auto on all weapons
Great game! One thing that took me awhile to discover is that whenever you find a white locked door there is usually a key around somewhere nearby. Definitely don’t pass these up because I have found useful gear and perk points in them.
That’s a Ubisoft signature. AC Valhalla was full of that mechanic. I’m a fan of it.
I finished the headshot challenge by punching a guy in the face
Captaincommunism probably the best day in your life
Does that work?
I struggled to first save up and buy an sa-50, and only then, I got it
Well what do u do when you only have your sniper out and a bow if u click y but there a person shoot at u with a ak 47 what do u do I tried shoot the person with the sniper but I miss 2 shoot and died 😊😅
For me one of the first skills you should pick up is the one that makes you crouch walk faster and I also think it lets you run with infinite stamina. Even if you aren't a stealth oriented player just being able to avoid fights sometimes is the easiest option especially when you're low on HP or in a place with limited cover. In a case like that being able to move quickly without being spotted can save you a respawn.
John lam Leadership is by FAR the best perk. 2 companions!!!
Fjparasite Moreira I did say one of.
Fjparasite Moreira the companions are trash. Please sit down
Aidan I don’t know cheeseburger is a tank and with jess I can farm animals
Aidan Palkin jess is deff great to have for sure. If none of them, at least use jess man. Easy money.
Thank you for this, going into the game next week this will be a godsend :). Thank you for taking the time these high quality videos take,
Huge tip for anyone playing this game first thing you shud do after u leave the island hop in a helicopter and low fly the entire map you will literally unlock all the camps and lil.towns all over which is important to see early in game
Goddammit why didn’t I think of that, even though like everything except the Mountains are completed, this sounds smarter
Loving Far Cry 5, I just wish they could scale back random patrol encounters by about 10%!
After the game they are all gone...
I enjoy the constant conflict
or not give us the resistance points. the game makes it soooo easy that they might as well have given us resistance points for walking around only
its kinda funny how taking out a single peggie van turns into a mess with several vehicles, hundreds of peggies and some bears to fuck everything up
And that the main character can talk
Figured I’d bring this up since not many know about it. So like Far Cry 4, there is another secret ending at the beginning. When prompted to cuff The Father, DO NOT CUFF HIM, and wait for a few minutes. You just end up leaving Hope County and the credits roll 😅😅
Yee I did this and then I did both of the endings
Eeh, i tried waiting in my 1st playthrough, thinking that following orders was a bad idea with that bunch, but nothing happened, so i cuffed him😅
This is my first Far Cry game, so I was a bit skeptical about buying it... but once I ordered the Gold Edition on Xbox and started playing it, it’s amazing!
I hope you played Far Cry New Dawn?😁
It's an amazing game too.. Maybe a little bit colorful but very nice 🙈
Bro play fc 3 4 easily the best ones
leipä suuhun nope
leipä suuhun
agreed, farcry5 is the worst out of all of them😂 Farcry 4 having the best gameplay, farcry 3 having the best story and farcry 2 having the best map.
N I C O L A S far cry 3 was hella boring, so overrated
Bought it already, and loving it... thanks for the tips... man, the world/environments/graphics look awesome.. and the gun play and sound is spot on...
Opening of this game was atmospheric and intense...
Also after playing multiple times through, suppressors and extended mags on literally everything no exception, go for health perks first but honestly if you deck out the AR-CL (you can find it in the world pretty commonly) with a marksman sight it’ll get you way further without needing to waste perk points on extra holsters
Every AR can be easily turned into a sniper with a decent scope and changing it to semi auto. Saves up a space for snipers. Also, use GFH's and specialists differently and simultaneously as some of their perks can really help in a fight.
Having watched a the beginning and a bit more on a stream, I must say, the mute player character is such a turn off for me. The thing I liked about FC3 and 4 (and primal, but it's not that obvious) was that Jason and Ajay actually had things to say. Not Bioware style talking, but an "oh shit" or "ok, I'll get on that" reaaally adds to the immersion.. Is a silent character easier to project your feelings on? Maybe. But having a few voice types to choose from that just say simple things would have improved it a lot.
@@loy7163 I agree cuz when my character speaks it feels like another NPC not me who plays and controls the character
Love the focus on perk points. After about 15 hours into the game I’ve realized how important picking the right ones are and how crucial they are to beating he game and having fun. Best investment for me so far was increased health, crouch mobility, additional holster and believe it or not fishing. Fish are an easy way to make big Bucks to buy vehicles with or upgrade your guns and character 👍 also silence those guns and extend clips early on.

Me and you both. I already got 20 grand just from fishing alone. Lol. Banking right now. Lol
@@obeythedemon4141 such a great game and story this is.
Dont know how to feel about the ending tho
Chris Breezy
I've been avoiding videos of the ending so nobody tell me please. Yes a great story and game play since FC3.
Michelle P. You’re fine as f***
I used to have like 700 grand bc of hunting bisons in raptor peak
One tip most people tend to miss. Every outpost has a safe. It will contain money and silver. Save the silver bars up and you can buy one of the premium helicopters. The nice part is that helicopter will be there next time you start a game. So you can begin by going to one of the helicopter spawns and pick up your free ship.
I know you wrote this 3 years ago but i just started this game a few days ago and this comment has me confused. So far i must've liberated maybe 10 outposts and i've made an effort of looking around everywhere. I think i found maybe 3 or 4 safes, on most outposts there was no safe to be found and also none of the ones i found had silver bars in them. I'm very confused
@@MyB00bies keep checking they exist. Also some safes are not in plain site but hidden
@@MyB00bies I just found my first and I'm maybe mid-way through the game, got the in-game explanation that they're in every outpost and I was equally confused.
I just started playing and love the game. I’m a newbie to this. Your video helped a lot
My first few perks were increased health, ammo and 4 weapon slots. I also went and unlocked all the guns for hire asap. Bloody love how you can just do what you want when you want and you'll still have an awesome time.
Freaking love this game! It's like the best elements of Ghost Recon meets the best elements of classic Far Cry...with new, fresh and exciting things added. Ubisoft has been killing it with their last few titles.
I really recommend getting the torch perk I'm surprised he didn't mention it because its a must have firstly if your vehicle get broke you can fix it and secondly if you run out of ammo you can set enemies on fire with it with unlimited ammo and the most important reason for getting it is every outpost has a safe which you can open with the blow torch and inside it is money and silver bars so the blow torch really is top priority and a tip worth knowing myself I thought half the stuff he said the game makes clear to you and perks are down to taste of play
Just to add an additional tip...it may be worth it to unlock the leadership perk for a second companion early on. It's not hard to free good companions and they'll take some of the heat off of you.
My build is a stealth build and even though I don't always send them in to attack when I'm taking an outpost...there have been many times where I was sniping from a mile out and some wild animal tried to attack....only for peaches or cheeseburger to alert me and challenge that animal....often chasing it off or battling it. That was especially useful in Faith's region.
This helped me a lot and I got so much money,weapons,and perk points.Thank you for tips!
All the politicized review websites are upset over this game because they thought it was going to be about killing trump supporters but it's about a radical religious cult instead.
Everyone knew that..........Thats why nobody listen to "game journalist" or anyone who writes an article on a game...
So, Trump supporters then? Trololololol
Same thing lmao
Cosmic Bro You what mate?
Yep this is purely a fantasy scenario, the closest thing in modern America to a radical violent cult is Antifa.
Here’s something you should know: takedowns in the game are kinda crap. The knife throw takedown has been replaced with the weapon throw, you throw your own weapon, and it spins through the air so if the enemy is next to a lamp post the weapon bounces off of it, rendering the weapon throw useless. The sidearm takedown is also useless, now you pull your own gun out and shoot them, but it doesn’t even lock on to them. It’s better to just finish the normal takedown and then just shoot the other guy. Chain takedown is still here though, it’s fine. However, the last thing you should know is that the vehicle takedown and the grenade takedown have been removed.
I’m here because I bought the Gold Edition for $20 in 2020, keen! Stay safe everyone
I bought it for 10 yesterday
GooglyArtist I bought it a week ago and finished it recently - rly good game
@@willrobinson5609 I'm enjoying it so far
On psn i got it for $9
I borrowed it from the library 😂😂 then I bought it. Awesome game
An excellent video and thank you. I would say about the fishing is that if you can afford a 3rd best rod before getting the 2nd best rod you can fish and rake in money pretty quickly without people shooting at you (usually that is). And once you get the 2nd best rod the money really comes in. You're 100 percent correct about the ammo/health/armor vest/goodies as in the prepper bunkers there usually is a lot of stuff lying around and definitely at the outpost. My big problem is that I ALWAYS buy until my stocks are full and then go to a place where I could have got it for nothing. The very start of the game is a great reminder of how to play the game as ALL the goodies you get you pick up from stashes/casual loot/dead bodies and it's the one lesson I ALWAYS forget after leaving the island - sigh!
That game is gorgeous, it's so well optimised as well! I'm playing on max at 4k and still getting 50-60 fps! Antagonist is hella cool too
What are ur specs
I just noticed when you clear something or a part of the map and you get the magazines for the perk points, you can come back and get them again in co op. Extra points points you can use besides doing the arcade. Also takes less time too.
These are great tips, thank you. I’m about to stream the game for my channel, so I am looking for tips and basically refreshing myself of the game before doing so.
Thanks gameranx. Always giving us great video's! :)
got the platinum for this game 2 years ago and i'm going for it again now and for some reason i'm still deciding to watch this video, such a good game
I was one of those people who wasn't too hyped about far cry 5. But the game is actually really fun!
The only thing that bothers me is, there aren't allot of weapons available. for example there are only really 2 assault rifles. a m4 type weapon and an ak type weapon..
The rest of the assault rifles are just the same with different skins. They even have the same exact stats..
But knowing money hungry Ubisoft, It's probably cut content for future dlc..
Slash Le Pew the two 45/70 variants and the M1A variants have different range stats but you’re right about everything else.
I’m just glad they finally added a fire select function for far cry. Savin so much ammo running everything semi-auto
Thank you so much bruh for the beautiful and easy explanation. ❤️
Everytime he throws a baseball bat at an enemy while Boomer is attacking too, it gives me anxiety.
I saw your comment on another farcry 5 video lol
Something else you should know is that you can unlock weapons by picking them up. So if an enemy drops a weapon that you don't have you should grab it (you don't need to hold on to it or anything so you can throw it back down immediately after). This will save you a ton of money especially considering how hard it is to get a lot early on.
Waffle Copter Casually gets flamethrower in 1st hour. Lol.
Waffle Copter the same for Far Cry 3. I didn't care too much for Far Cry 4.
Yup! Found a semi auto sniper rifle about 20 minuets after I bought one
Only the basic weapons tho. Starting rifle, starting pistol, basic sniper and basic bow is all they carry. Occasionally a flamethrower or basic MG. Bottom line? Still need to buy guns that are not basic starters.
These tips really helped me out, thank you very much!
If there's any one perk you should get, it's Harvest. With that and a bow, you get 4 skins per animal. Mix that with the perk that gives extra backpack space and you can get 15 of each animal really quickly. Money is no longer an issue in any way with that combination.
it's strange how Jake's voice sounds normal even when the speed is set to x1.5
Raees Roshan wtf u right
Bit late to the party, but I came up with a few more tips to include:
First off, invest in the repair torch early on. It's an extremely handy tool: it can be used to repair your vehicles, unlock safes (which include substantial cash rewards, and occassionally silver bars that you would otherwise have to buy) and can even be used as a melee weapon in a pinch.
Second: unlock Death Wish as quickly as possible. A versatile 4d vehicle with MG capabilities is invaluable, especially in cooperative play.
Third: avoid the flamethrower. It runs out of ammo very quickly, slows you down as you fire it, can very quickly box you in with fire, and enemies you blast with it will usually attempt a kamikaze run on you. It's just not worth it when you have more powerful and versatile heavy guns to use.
Things I like about far cry 5 personally:
1. How hunting is actually worth it for cash now.
2. How map discovering works
3. How realistic discovering missions is.
4.Bullet drop and flight time so you have to calculate how up or how much away from your enemy to aim from afar.
5. Details like cattle mating or getting used to dark or brightness when heading out from a house etc
6. Map design. At first I thought it would suck if compared to fc3 island paradise but it's actually really good map.
7. How hunting works.
For instance when you shoot a deer with a bow once it will run away but it will start limping soon and die few dozen meters away.
8. Fishing
9. Finally actually planes and helicopters in far cry. Buzzer wasn't good enough.
10. Graphics, sound, character movement etc.
11. Customisation and posters actually match your looks.
12. Perk system is actually quite sweet and so are perks.
13. How enemies and allies get hurt and fall down like the player. I like to let peggies to die like that.
14. Stashes... this could go on but it's already too long.
Things I dislike
1. How they took away things like desert eagle and other guns that have been there since fc2/3.Instead of desert eagle they have a like 3 different looking 44. Magnums with the same stats... Hell even useless flaregun should've made it and they could've given it a use.
2. Map discovering is cool but I kinda wish flying over it with a helicopter would discover it too.
3. No signature weapons.
There's new cool looking skins and weapons with gold/deluxe edition but their damage is not any different. They just look far cooler.
4. That there was more cooler skins.
Sure theres plenty if good skins but there's not that large choice anymore or so it feels.
Lastly between like and dislike there is vehicle customisation. It could've been far better but hey it's still good and I like it.
the "getting used to darkness or brightness" and "deer dying after running away being shot" was present in far cry primal.
fishing was nice addition but didnt do much to the overall gameplay.
the one thing i hated the most was the forced progression and the fast resistance points build up
Today I played far cry 5 and I understood its piece of shit vs far cry 3
I know I’m late but there is a desert eagle in the game now if you don’t already know
There is actually a version of the Desert Eagle now, its called D50 with .50 cal. rounds. Description is funny. Could blow peggies several meters away.
I think number one is an ok tip, but I personally put my first perk points into fishing because it’s not easy to fish even with it, so it keeps you engaged during grinding and if you are catching a good fish the shops will buy them off you for a good price. My favorite fish has to be the paddlefish, they are super surprising when you first get one on a line after catching a lot of trout and it’s a challenge to real a good sized one in. They pay well and it’s a nice way to stay having fun while grinding cash. Also if you want to go into fishing definitely do the side missions with Skylar and get the good rod it helps more than you think
The best throwing weapon is the Shovel tho....cause it's one shot :D :D
True. I always use it again heavy opponents
Explains why they made a whole launcher for it
This is my first far cry game and I m loving it a lot.
Try far cry 1 honestly the best of the early series
@@YellowOysterCult lol I hate the first. Too buggy. 3rd my fav personally.
@@loy7163 nah for the time 1 had the best ragdoll effects I'd ever seen and yeah 3 is amazing
Far Cry 2 is the best of the series for sure
@@loy7163 btw depends which far cry 1 you're talking about, apparently there's like 3 different versions
I'm 40something hours into the game and its just so immersive. Definitely an all time favorite. And those graphics on the One x 😍
I love how helpful these videos are, i just got the game because its on sale for Christmas and i havent played a far cry game before and i really dont know what im doing
The extra fighter perk is a must.
I’ve played every far cry game and far cry 5 is far different from the rest it’s amazing I don’t get why these reviewers are all saying it’s a lot of the same
Steven Anderson Exactly, it feels very different. You can still tell its Farcry but they have changed it up.
For me it is the best far cry
Nice work man, tyvm o/
GREAT video! Awesome review as always.
“You get boomer”

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
Unlock the Widowmaker truck early. It is strong and has two built in LMGs that can be controlled while driving. If you have the auto repair perk it makes it unstoppable
Grazthum Raze unless u drive off a ledge
This is my first far cry game and I love It! Played It for 2 hours when I got It and got hooked! Thanks for the video It helped
I have a tip for you dude. You probably already know this but if you beat the game on the real ending, it unlocks a new game+ that let's you start a new campaign but let's you keep all of your clothes, guns, money, perk unlocks and points, silver, etc. The only thing it dosent let you keep is resistance level and map unlocks. If you didnt know, I hope this helped...
Ps: all of this applies after the prologue.
I’ve been playing for a few day and had no idea that you had different drugs you can take to improve game play. I’ve almost beaten the game and I just barely found out about it
"Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh hard times come again no more"
I love this game
I would recommend saving up for a bow and a suppresser for your pistol early on as it helps with stealth, I wouldn’t buy any rifles or snipers until you have enough to get good sights and ,maybe a suppresser. Also remember you can get the MP5k free with Ubisoft club it works as good as an Assault rifle for me.
Seems like a great informative video to kick things off with! Can't wait to get this game through the post. Should be here any day now...
00:25 South EAST??? Think you meant South West.
Lol
Spoony Pizzas came looking for the guy an I found him
I thought the same thing lol
I think he said “South Weast” **Patrick Reference**
I think he meant south WEAST
There’s so much shit it stresses me out. I’m only about 1-2 hours in. Should I stick with it? I mean I kinda don’t really know what I’m doing, I’m just following what the objectives show me.
Thank you for making this video, I’d guessed some of these but not some, thanks 🙏
Great video, totally agree minus the fishing stuff you said. Only because if you’re seeking perk points, you only have to catch one of each fish to get a point

How to finish far cry 5 in less than 5 mins : don’t arrest the father
4 hours, take it or leave it
@@sandcrakes the side quests: 14 hours,take it or leave it
@@diavolo6375 6 hours, I'll take it
Jess and Nick are a great matchup if you wanna go stealth but, still need heavy firepower. I kept having trouble with planes and helicopters when fishing or hunting and Nick has really helped keep the peace around me in the sky. Jess is great to take hunting or whatever because she's virtually silent and doesn't really get in the way.
Great addition to the Far Cry series. Ive enjoyed it. There is al2ays something you will not like or even hate about every game and yes there are things to hate about this one, but there is much more to love about it.
"The southeast quadrant is a good starting point" *goes to the southwest of map* thnx for the laugh, that actually made my day.
This is probably one of the best games i have ever played
This video makes me want to replay this amazing game!!
Pretty much everything you talked about covers what I’m experiencing in the new game I started. I felt like I was playing the game wrong but it’s good to know I’m poor to start off with in the game for a reason lol
John Seeds section was sooooo immersive and honestly, he felt like the best villain.
Yea, loving that region. Great synergy
Key to know: you can beat the game in 5 minutes. Just don't arrest The Father.
The Big LeBoschski I could have done that...
That's not beating, that's surrendering.

I think I need a new liver
Alice Wagner Jake's 'But' is the Brain of his operation - He must say like 5,000 'Buts' in every video - it's Gameranx's law
I've played it for about 5 hours and so far it's really good, shooting is easy( I recommend 50% sensitivity), it feels like farcry but different, also if you've played farcry before and you're experienced on taking outposts it's very easy to take them out stealthy
Angry Bulldog Gaming I kind of feel like the weapons behave like those in PUBG, but better and smoother. Especially when shooting long range I get that feeling
Kenny J. To me they feel similar to call of duty.
Recoil is random though, on multiplayer its stupid, it just comes down to lucky headshots.
Melee1135 oh, I don’t know about multiplayer, i’m still doing the campaign, I’m trying to complete it 100%
I'm waiting for this dl to complete but outside looking in,, it's basically eso with guns
About to install this on my Xbox One X in a couple days. I saw it on a discount, and I’ve heard great things about this game so here I am.

1bobbywilliams Is it good... I kinda heard it was shitty.
Ive played farcry alot and your very correct in that it feels very familiar and different at the same time.
1:55 "For when you wanna go in Quiet" Oh yeah, you know me so well ;)
Chaos, Crazy and Drugs seems like far cry. I'm definitely playing
Abin George You know when you see something controversial about South park and you're like "ahh, of course i mean, it south park after all" You think the developers are like - 'okay, far cry game - it need drugs, hallucination scenes and bat-shit crazy environments! GO!!" ?
I am actually a huge fan how far cry 5 progression works.
I almost never use fast travel now and interact with people and things not just rush to main missions after discovering the map like in previous games.
I got the game yesterday, the vid really helped out thanks!!
Pick it up lads, discount on steam, $23.99 atm. Not sure if it's worth the 60 but for 24 it's a braindead easy yes.
Ima buy it today for $15 lol
@@Frank36 same
Ashar idk if u have bought it yet but the game wasnt wat i expected tbh. I dont like fortnite so i went out to look for other games. Far cry 5 looked ok i bought it and idk if its because I’ve never played it but the mission and things u have to do felt the same. U just liberate outposts, destroy properties fight the boss and move on to the next area. These things felt more like a chore than u actually wanting to do em. Once i finished the game there was literally nothing to do so i uninstalled cuz it was that boring. There was this lil game mode tho called far cry arcade it was pretty cool but aside from that the game was meh. This is my honest opinion although im sure u bought the game already lol.
BIGG 4078 Lmao yeah the first far cry i played was 4 and It was cool for the first couple of hours then it just gets redundant there’s nothing new it just feels like you’re doing the same thing over and over again. I mean it’s not a bad game, but it’s not great either. It’s okay and it’s a pain to even bring yourself to want to finish the game.
Got it for $10 on PSN a couple days ago. Enjoying very much, but Ghost of Tsushima just came out, don't know if I want to finish this first or jump back and forth
"You mean you have to use your hands?" "That's like a baby's toy!"
I'm really glad they took out a lot of the handholding that has become common in games these days.
I'm a day behind, but random Guns for hire are really good to get on an early start. They can help you fight, pick you when your down, and some have unique perks. Like one npc I have, he is able to pick himself up after he went down, and it help so many time when we both go down at the same time, he picks himself up and then picks me and and I don't die, and I don't have start over on stuff like liberating an outpost.
Great video, thank-you!
