23 Things You Need To Try In Far Cry 5
Official Xbox Magazine|May 2018

Is there anything more Far Cry than a mission which tasks you with saving a food festival centered around the ingestion of bull testicles?

23 Things You Need To Try In Far Cry 5

We can’t think of it, but perhaps that’s because we can’t shake the image of roasted bull balls. Sitting there. On a plate. Staring at us. What were we even talking about?

Oh yeah. Far Cry 5. If the last few Far Cry titles have taught us anything, it’s that these weird, often drug-fueled adventures aren’t entirely based in reality. And while there have been some critics who don’t like the idea of a Far Cry game set in the USA, it’s missions like this that show that maybe these critics are taking the game more seriously than Ubisoft itself.

After some serious hands-on time with the game this month, we present you with a rundown of 23 insane things you need to try in Far Cry 5. And because this is a Far Cry title, there are some genuinely mental things in our list. The Testy Festy is just the start—just wait until you meet Peaches the cougar…

01 WIN WITHOUT SHOOTING A GUN

You’ve got guns for hire. You’ve got a knife and a baseball bat. You’ve got a pet dog that likes mauling people, and a friend who enjoys dropping bombs out of his plane. Why would you ever need to fire a gun? We reckon you could complete the entirety of Far Cry 5 without loosing a firearm, and now we’re challenging you to do it. Okay, maybe we’ll let you use the bow—technically that’s not a gun, and it’s great fun to use. You’ll need to be stealthy to beat the game like this, but we love that playstyle—we spent a lot of our hands-on time creeping around like a husband sneaking back into the house at 3am after a night out.
