TOP 13 TRICKS for Beginning FAR CRY 5 - How to Play Like a Boss

Today we will show you the top 13 tips and

tricks

to keep in mind when starting a game in Far Cry 5. What's up guys, Dark Dally, here

play

ing Far Cry 5? Let's get straight to today's first tip. That's why you should get the first three specialist companions right now. You'll notice that I only have three fellow specialists. I haven't fully progressed through the game, but let me say again that these are initial tips. These three fellow specialists are really easy. to get it let's take a look at the map and I'll tell you why you want to get them right away so here's the map so the first pet you need to get is Boomer which comes from Ray Ray's pumpkin farm which is right here. not too far from where you start, it's more or less run and grab it.

The second one I recommend you get is Peaches, which you can get at Peaches Taxidermy right here and then you can go. I would choose a cheeseburger as a third in a cheeseburger is the bear and you get it at the Fang center right here, these three places are pretty central now, why choose these three pets from the

beginning

because I mean mainly to fellow humans, the reason is that they let me go to the benefits and I won't I'll show you why down here in the benefits, at the bottom right, there's a perk called leadership.

It only costs six perk points and requires you to have three specialist companions and then unlocks an additional slot in your squad to have two weapons. to hire, let's take a look at my list down here, you have your basic generic companions, uh, and these are integral when you first start the game again. We're just talking about starting the game for the first time, these three guys are integral. Find out why then go ahead and get peaches, get a cheeseburger, get uh Boomer and then you can have two of these assets at the same time and that's a huge help when you first start the game, and of course, They are not in any particular order, but Another very important thing in this game is the prepper stashes.

Look at this little symbol here. This reminds me a lot of the symbol they had in Far Cry 4 for small valuables caches, but those were nothing compared to the prepper caches in Far Cry 5. These are incredibly important and you want to make sure you get them as soon as possible. Here you can see when I haven't found them yet and it's kind of a little blue diamond symbol. Now they will generally deliver them to you. You'll get information on these from civilians who say you can rescue a civilian or something and they may have this symbol over their head which means they'll give you information on a stash of preppers, you'll want to look for them as soon as possible. as possible and let me show you why it will take you to a little preparation hideout place like this and it looks like we have some guys here come on they are down once you get the information it will take you to a little place like this with the blue diamond and I have my monk friend here who has been helping me eliminate enemies.

You may have enemies when you get there when you first arrive at a prepper hideout. Now let me explain the importance of these. Not only do they give you valuable items, but they give you valuable perk points, money, and sometimes even vehicles, so they're incredibly important and there's only a finite amount of them that you know about on the map, so we'll click on this and it will say Alright, read some supplies from Peggy. We hit the equipment on the bridge supports. You'll need a grappling hook to reach it. Each of these trainer statues has something different.

Some of them require you to collapse into caves. Some of them require that you. to do, you know, climb mountains, this one we're going to go ahead and we're going to follow these clues and then we'll find the prepper stash. Now one thing is that we go down this bridge, here we are. On this bridge we are trying to get down. One thing you'll want to do if you haven't already is go to your Journal, go to your prepper stash, and keep track of that mission. It will show you more clearly exactly where. is what you're trying to lift, you see it right there, there it is, that's what we're trying to achieve now, each of these again is a unique challenge, let's move on, let's get there and then let's catch up. with you, and there you will see that we just completed the stash, which means we found it, so here we have the medkit and let's look for the exclusive material that you always find in a prepper stash.

This is what you want to look for. Right here, check out these magazines, each one of these magazines you pick up will give you another advantage point. This is why prep stashes are valuable. Look at one, two, three advantage points available. There's usually also money, ammo, various other types of loot, sometimes too. unlock vehicles oh look at this pile of money we have here now these piles of money usually aren't much they're usually around 250 a piece it's usually not much but they add up to money in this game like all card games do . very valuable now you can see you picked up a lot of stuff here this is the advantage of unlocking prepper caches you get a lot of perk points you need those perk points to spend on your perks which brings me to my next point okay? number three to start in Far Cry 5 I want to suggest some of the best starting advantages you can have now, as you can see I haven't

play

ed much of the game yet.

I only have about a third of the advantages, there are still many. to do, but among my friends, we have created a great list of suggested benefits. The first thing you need to do is start the game, which will be really essential: the human fish, it's the first one here, it only costs one advantage point. allows you to hold your breath longer this will be absolutely essential this is something you want to take advantage of immediately it only costs one benefit Point you'll want to take advantage of this possibly one of the second most important benefits you could have is some way to parachute or use the wingsuit, you can see here.

I have both now. The parachute is super easy, it only costs one point. The wingsuit is also a good idea. It costs four points, but at least I have some way to jump from high heights. land without breaking your legs, okay now the third thing I would recommend is grabbing, in fact I think I got this first. You can get them in any order you want. These are just the best initial benefits you can have again. Grappa only costs one point. essential I mean this is more essential than almost anything to get around the map and if you've played previous Far Cry games then you know now I'm going to suggest something else for our initial benefit, now this costs a little more.

It costs six points of advantage and that is key in the jungle, what it does is reduce the damage of animal attacks by predators and gives priority to nearby enemies over your prey, animals flee less from you, so this means that when you try to hunt animals, prey like deer and things like that will run away less and predators will do less damage and I think they will attack you less now. Why does this matter? This is important because one of the main things in this game is to make money, especially early on. you're going to do that by hunting and fishing, when you're fishing you want to be attacked by fewer predators while you're trying to fish and when you're hunting you want them to run away from you less, that's why I actually put it this way, even though it costs the six points, the fourth thing I have here on my list of advantages that you want to start with is torch repair, torch repair and locksmith, they both go hand in hand.

I'm going to suggest repairing the torch first, now it costs five points. This now allows you to repair vehicles with your torch just like you used to in Far Cry 4. It also allows you to open safes with your torch because before you got this, as far as I know, the only way to open safes is to use remote explosives. Now, that gets into something that I'll talk about here in some tips later and that's silver bullion, silver bullion. Every time you liberate an outpost, there are silver bars. They will always be, from what I have seen, hidden in a safe.

Let's move on to the last one I have here. In fact, we have a couple more. Here is an extra cover. This costs eight points. This will give us. you have a third weapon on your wheel, another one that's not bad, actually, here is the Journey pack, which allows you to carry more items because hunting and fishing are quite important to get the money you need early on. Okay, and for tip number four, let's take a look at the airplane controls now. I think this is a decent tip for beginners and I'll tell you why we want to fly this plane right here, but some people may like the default controls, but whether or not they like them.

The default airplane control simply doesn't give you the right level of control. Let me show you that the default airplane controls are set to the shooter, where your left stick controls your pitch and roll, and that's it if you take a look at it again. if you go down here I suggest you choose classic now when you select Classic this makes your left stick only control yaw and pitch and use the side buttons to control roll let's go ahead and equip the shooters real quick here let's just do it. this, let's go here, let's configure. Let's select the shooter so they are selected now and take off with the shooter controls.

Now here we are going to see the difference. Let's go ahead and take off all the right planes in this game. They fly pretty well. but with the shooter controls it's fine, so with the shooter controls, the left stick controls everything, so if we want, it's easy to turn and maneuver, but we can't really do a lot of dogfight type maneuvers, which are things that you will want later. in the game and all we can do is this: we can't, we can't flip, we can't do any kind of fancy maneuvers because the plane always self-corrects because this stick controls all three axes of motion, uh.

Like we try to fly backwards, let's try to fly backwards, let's see if we can do it. Can we fly backwards? Yes, no, because it keeps correcting itself automatically. Yeah, we can't, we can't, uh, we can't fly backwards. it keeps correcting itself we can't do it let's go to the controls let's just do a quick demo here and that's why I think this is a good solid tip in fact let's go to the classic airplane controls and again I'll recommend the same for Helicopter now we're into classic controls with these controls, the left stick controls my yaw and my pitch, but it's my L and R buttons to control my roll so I can stay rolled like this and be able to fly however I want.

I think this really allows for much more controllable flight. I can still use the right stick to look around. I can still use all my other buttons to do whatever I want, but this way I can sit here and if I want, I can fly upside down. the entirety of the map, but I can sit here and do barrel rolls and I can do all the fancy things that you can do in any other game and when you change your tone, it stays changed, it's not like it's not like the shooter controls. where it always automatically corrects you, you can sit here, fly upside down and, there it is guys, okay guys, and tip number five, this is something you might not notice at first, this is a great tactic, especially when you're in cooperative mode.

I'm here with my friend Monk and we're aiming at these three guys now when you use your binoculars. Binoculars are a great way to spot and mark enemies. Now you can see that we have already marked them. Notice at the bottom of my screen says controls now of course I'm on PS4. If you are on a different system, you want to use different buttons, but it will show them at the bottom of the screen. Now there are two useful controls that you can use here, which are Not obvious, the first one is the one that's all the way to the right and it says set waypoint, so when I'm sitting here with my friend Monk and we're both looking at this base and trying transmit information, I can I can touch R3 and I can say look here now.

One thing we like to do is turn it on and off like this, it easily shows your partner where you're pointing so you'll notice it's flashing right there. the truck next to me and then we can say look, you know, look this way and then he can say, hey, look, look this way, look, that's a useful thing, the other useful thing is what the L3 button does right Next to it, it says Target Priority, so what? What I can do is mark these targets as well, that Buffalo, that bison, just ran and trampled all my object.

Notice how I marked that guy. If you look very close, I'll get closer so you can see the target. marked as one and the monk has marked this goal as two. Now I can decide that we want to hit the Bison so we can mark him. Okay, with three, let's uncheck target one. Look, I can turn it off like that and now I can put it on. about the bison and now the Bison is Target One, playwith this yourself. I'm trying to show you the best I can, that was somewhat unexpected here, but using it at least again on Playstation is L3, the Bison is now marked as one I can play.

I put three on it again, turn it off and I can decide to put on this little bugger down here, oh monk, just put it on. I just put it back in now which, along with the ability to set waypoints wherever you want, is a great way to coordinate. a co-op attack on any base okay guys and now tip number six this is a really cool thing when you have a partner now as you can see I have I'm in co-op which means I can only have one. companion, but that's all it takes when you have a companion, they have an incredible amount of independence and autonomy.

I know, you can order your companions to go practically anywhere. I can tell Jen to move over there. I can tell her to move over there. Another thing we can do is we can drive our vehicles for us as long as you get in. on the passenger side of a vehicle, your companion will automatically sit in the driver's seat and I have never seen a game that does this and they will drive you for you. Notice that she sits in the driver's seat of the vehicle. She now she probably she'll just sit here. she could drive herself no she's just going to sit here because there are no objectives so what we're going to do is go to my map.

I'm going to set a waypoint. I'm just going to set a waypoint. Right at the end of the road, right here, and as soon as I said Waypoint, she starts driving. How amazing is it that many people don't realize that you know that at the

beginning

of the game you can get a companion from the beginning of the game. game and whenever you get into the passenger seat, your companion will automatically jump into the driver's seat and go to whatever Wii spot you tell them to like. If I look back, she should, yes, she will stop and move. there, if I look over here and press right on the d-pad, she'll back up and move over there.

This is an incredible skill. The companions in this game have an incredible amount of independence that I have never seen. the previous game and its route is pretty good. I have not yet seen that the route has been damaged. I can't say she has done it yet. They will always drive where you tell them. What about helicopters? That was our next question. Could my partner drive a Helicopter, well monk, let's jump in the back of this helicopter, let's find out. Monk and I are going to get in the back of this helicopter and watch as she automatically jumps in front and takes off on her own.

Now I don't do it. I have a waypoint set, so I'm going to keep going. I'm going to do it. I already have a waypoint set. That's good, in fact, it's a good demonstration. I already have a waypoint set, so it will automatically default to it and fly to that waypoint. and here it goes, yes, your partner can also play helicopters again. Great beginner tip for this game. It flies pretty well. Sometimes she ducks into the trees and does a Han Solo thing, but I have to say I've never seen her crash into a plane. In fact, I've never seen her break down.

The only problems I have seen is that they may have some problems. Landing oh look, I think I actually think we're going to have a good Landing Monk. I think we're actually going to have you have a good landing, here we go, yeah, so here you see your teammates, oh oh, she's going right to the spot, look at this, oh, she's going to land perfectly on it, all right, guys, now for tip number seven and this is another great tip, here it is. Modifying the weapon may not be so obvious from the beginning. You can see Monk and I here, we are both using m60s and have modified them drastically differently.

He is using his with a suppressor and a red dot sight. I am using mine with a tactical scope. range and no suppressor, now this is how you modify weapons. You want to go anywhere with this green icon. Look at the green gun icon above his head. Any place like this where you can buy and sell weapons, items and such. This is where you modify your weapon. weapons like in Far Cry 4. Once you go to the weapons section here in the store, you will be able to see what weapons you have and what weapons you have not unlocked.

You've unlocked a check mark next to it, like right here I have the The free status of sa50 is a great weapon, we'll talk about that later. Now you will see below, at the bottom. I can see the details with a triangle because I'm on PS4. Now when I click on the details, it shows me this. The gun has seen it in gray, it says accessories and they are in gray, range suppressor magazine, that means I can update them on this. I haven't done it yet. Let's get to the gun. I have actualized. Let's go to my bow.

Now look at those attachments here. They are white. I've updated that notice at the bottom of the screen that says X customize. I can go here and we're going to have to put it in a slot first. You have to put a weapon in a slot before you can modify it. Let's put the arch up here. You can choose different camouflages. Now I've only chosen the base color for my gun because I'm not too picky about how it looks, but when you come down here you can see this wide variety of scope suppressors. and magazines, unlike some previous games, unlike Far Cry 4 where you can usually only modify two of the three slots in this game, you can modify whatever allows you, here we have a wide variety of scopes now for me personally, for my bow I chose. use the optical sight, that's how you modify the weapons.

Low and you can also select which suppressor you want. I should note that noticing the different suppressors once around the square type of one makes no difference, these are purely cosmetic, some guns I have a round. suppressor some have a square suppressor just what I think looks better with the gun alright guys and now for tip number eight this is something that may elude you at first and it took us a minute to figure it out but this is really cool , it's changing the rate of fire on your weapons and also changing some options and other elements first let's see the rate of fire if you hold again I'm on PS4 guys so it's going to be a different button depending on what system you're on on PS4 , L1 opens your weapon wheel, so whichever button you know opens your weapon wheel.

Now notice on my weapon wheel that I have my bow equipped and that is the weapon I currently have. Notice at the bottom of the weapon wheel says rifle ammo and has a square. button a square message now, when I tap Square, it changes my shooting mode. This is something that many people may not be interested in from the beginning. You can do the same with, for example, your fishing rod and other items with the weapon wheel. Open the Notice right there at the top of the weapon wheel inside the circle, it says Utility R1 which will toggle my utility weapon wheel.

Let's go ahead and select my fishing rod prompt down there in the same place with the uh rate of fire selection for my assault rifle. I have different types of bait that I can select, so when you use your fishing rod, just like you can change your rate of fire and your ammo with your gun, you can change the type of bait you are using with your fishing. polo, okay guys, now for tip number nine, it's about prestige weapons, let's go back to the store here, let's go back to the weapon store, let's take a look at the weapons, you'll notice, you'll notice, there will, there will be Prestige Weapons, just like there were special weapons in Far Cry 4 there are also here and also like in Far Cry 4 like here sometimes some of them are not weapons that you can normally get in the game now in previous games like Far Cry 4 and also wildlands, which was a Ubisoft title.

Here we go, here's a bow with a special paint shop now in previous games when you were getting what you would consider a Prestige weapon, it's just that it's going to have a fancy paint job, it's going to look really cool, but it's going to come. with different mods it will come with mods that you didn't choose and you can't modify them this game is different this game finally does something I wanted to see and this is a great tip if I were to buy this Arc Stars and Stripes, this gives me a red American flag style bow, white and blue, but I can still modify it completely.

Note that I already showed you this in the last tip, if I press toggle details, notice that this can accept attachments in this game. Prestige weapons are simply reskinned versions of The Originals that are still fully moddable. Note that there are two ways to buy it, nine thousand dollars or five hundred and yes, that symbol is silver bars, so you could buy it for 500 silver bars, which will be about 12 or so. Outpost collections or you could pay nine thousand dollars for it, we'll get to make money here, a couple of tips in the future, don't worry guys, I have some money making tips so you can decide it's worth it. pay the nine thousand or you could pay 500 silver bars for this and this is completely modifiable except you get this eye-catching stars and stripes paint job in metallic red, white and blue okay guys so tip number 10 is buy free state sa50 now that I have I already bought it, so I can't see the price down there, but I will tell you that the price is about seventy two hundred dollars or 400 silver bars.

I just told you how it works. Let me tell you why it is so important to buy it. weapon this is a 50 caliber semi-automatic rifle this thing is an incredibly useful tool this is the ideal weapon to defeat the enemies that drive towards you on the way however if you look at how you have to obtain this it gains six resistance levels in total from anyone of the three regions to unlock this item now this video is about tips for beginners that's a little bit of what you know going forward in the game that's why I recommend we go back to the featured weapons that's why I recommend the sa50 this doesn't has requirements.

It costs around 7200 to buy it, I think it's dollars or 400 silver bars. You can buy it as soon as you have the seven thousand dollars now, that may seem like a lot of money, don't worry, we have money to make. Tips are coming guys, and tip number 11, this is also a weapon you should have because I advised you to go ahead and pick up the third weapon holster, which means you will now be able to carry three weapons. Be a handgun, your second space. I really suggest you get the sa50 at least again. We're talking about starting here.

It's pretty easy to get now. What do you allow for your third space? I could have an assault rifle or I could have an M60. It is easily obtained at the beginning of the game. Remember what I suggested in one of my first tips. If not, um, was the first tip. I suggest you get the pets right when you buy a cheeseburger in that mission in the Fang Center. I should drop an M60 he did for me. You should find an M60 that dropped fairly early in the game. That's where I found mine. Pick up that this weapon actually works the same as an assault rifle, except it does more damage.

Note that this does seven damage if I do it. Go to my assault rifle of choice, which is my bow. Note that it only does 4 damage. This thing does a lot more damage. I don't notice any difference in bullet drop or accuracy. Let's move on before we see that. We will alternate the details. I can upgrade all the same slots. I haven't put a suppressor on mine yet, that's just because of money constraints. You can delete this, put in an extended magazine and any optics you want. Let's go ahead and look at that as you can see here.

I can put the same perspective on it. You could put any assault rifle you have on it. Well, I don't know how to count it, but at least a 100-round magazine easily. I can get closer. I can really shoot single shots. You can now fire short bursts. The recoil with this could get a little out of hand with larger bursts and granted yes the reload is a lot longer than an AR but I think it's worth sacrificing your AR slot, use a good sniper rifle and it'll probably be Something like this is worth a try, but starting out you can get the M60 right off the bat and it's a decent replacement for an AR to get you that sa50.

Alright, guys, and for tip number 12, we have two tips left. We are going to finish the tips with great ways to make money to do all the things or some of the things that I have been talking about and now we are going to start with the hunting, now there are many ways that you can hunt. Now my friend Zero, his favorite way to hunt is with the M60 and I admit, this is a great way to take down any type of animal. Here it is, but it doesn't feel very authentic. Now there is another one. um there's another aspect to that and that is using the bow, the bow has an advantage, the enemy has a couple of layered advantages, so Monk and I are going to go hunt some animals and I'll show you the advantages of the bow.

Now remember. Before I leave, let me see My advantages here real quick. Now, at the top of the list, I'm giving you some recommended skills and one that I actually forgot. I admit that my mistake is this skillfrom here. Harvest Master, so I go. To mention this right now, double your plant and animal loot reward. This means that if you drop an animal instead of getting a skin, you get two skins. Now let's say you're using an M60, which is actually a very good way to hunt. It doesn't feel very authentic and we're going to see you with a bison with it.

You will get two bison pelts instead of one with this ability. Now a bison skin, for example, will give you what about 200 monks, yes, two hundred? dollars per bison scan, okay, so if you shoot, if you shoot one, if you kill one with this skill, you will get 400 dollars in total because you will get two skins, so earning money is paramount in this game, especially by start this skill right here. Harvest Master It's cool now, the reason we start with a bow is traditional in Far Cry games. If you shoot an animal with a bow, you'll get double the skins now if you have Harvest Master, which gives you double the skins.

That's right, if you can. If you kill an animal with a bow you will get four masks, and finally the last tip, this feeds back into how to make money and in my opinion this is probably the easiest way to make money, and that is by fishing the most of the fish in the game. I'll only give you a hundred for now. I just effectively earned 300, that's a lot easier than hunting three deer in a row, the difference is that the fish don't get the double skin, uh, skill that I just showed you with the bow and arrow where we.

Getting two or even four skins from an animal doesn't apply to fish, no matter what you do, fish just give you a purr saying they're super easy to catch, you can just tap R2, oh, I throw right on top of that fish, you should get a bite immediately, yes, and I can reel it in directly with the L2 button, so fishing can sometimes be the easiest alternative to make money because right there I just made a few hundred dollars sometimes fishing, especially when are you good at it or if you enjoy it oh let's move towards the shore or if you enjoy it like me I really enjoy fishing it can be a very fun way to make a lot of money so guys I wanted to end the video with techniques to make money because This feeds into a lot of the things I said before, like buying Prestige weapons, well, here's a Prestige weapon here, actually, these are my P226 Stars and Stripes, I actually bought them with silver bars, but sometimes, like with my free status sa50, you actually just paid the money and you will want to have the money to do it, so here are all the tips I have for you, from the best way to get companions quickly, the benefits you want to have, the way to earn money to get the weapons you want and all these things will help you progress very fast in the game, also how to use your companions etc.

Guys tell me what you think in the comments below about what you think they could be good initial advice and maybe we can expand. about this and make more videos on better tips for more specific things. I'm Dark Dalley, this is Monkatron Monkatron, do you have any parting words? No, there are no tips. I think we covered everything pretty well. Yeah, look for more videos to come, hopefully. I will present some good pictures for you at that time, guys, thank you very much for watching. I am Dark Dalley, I am Monkatron. We will see them in the next Far Cry 5 video.
